SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that Belgian envoy Willem Willems presented the State Department with legal credentials representing 3,619 European bondholders holding over twelve million dollars in Dominican bonds. Willems informed American officials that the European bondholders supported the Dominican government in its dispute with the San Domingo Improvement Company. He argued that the contract granting the American syndicate control over customs revenues was legally invalid because it was never ratified by the bondholders as required.

El *Evening Star* informó que el enviado belga Willem Willems presentó ante el Departamento de Estado credenciales legales en representación de 3.619 tenedores de bonos europeos poseedores de más de doce millones de dólares en bonos dominicanos. Willems comunicó a los funcionarios estadounidenses que los tenedores de bonos europeos respaldaban al gobierno dominicano en su disputa con la San Domingo Improvement Company. Sostuvo que el contrato que otorgaba al consorcio estadounidense el control sobre los ingresos aduaneros carecía de validez legal por no haber sido nunca ratificado por los tenedores de bonos conforme se exigía.
