SummaryResumen

The *Salt Lake Herald* reported that American authorities under Military Governor Leonard Wood were actively patrolling Cuban waters and seizing vessels to prevent Dominican filibustering expeditions from departing Cuba's northern coast. In Santo Domingo, President Figuereo expressed confidence in preserving national stability and dismissed recent street demonstrations as inconsequential while voicing goodwill toward the United States. Concurrently, a special session of the Dominican Congress adjourned without acting on a proposal to reduce national debt interest payments by twenty percent.

El *Salt Lake Herald* informó que las autoridades estadounidenses bajo el gobernador militar Leonard Wood patrullaban activamente las aguas cubanas e incautaban embarcaciones para impedir que zarparan expediciones filibusteras dominicanas desde la costa norte de Cuba. En Santo Domingo, el presidente Figuereo manifestó confianza en mantener la estabilidad nacional y desestimó las recientes manifestaciones callejeras calificándolas de irrelevantes, a la vez que expresaba buena voluntad hacia los Estados Unidos. Simultáneamente, una sesión extraordinaria del Congreso dominicano se clausuró sin tomar medidas sobre una propuesta para reducir en un veinte por ciento los pagos de intereses de la deuda nacional.
