SummaryResumen
The *Evening star* assessed the outlook for stability in Santo Domingo following the evacuation of American troops, noting general agreement that the nation deserved its opportunity for independent self-government. The article reviewed the background of intervention, recalling that the 1916 marine occupation followed decades of civil strife and the 1905 crisis when foreign creditors threatened naval force over unpaid debts. It described how the United States helped arrange a $20,000,000 refunding loan backed by an American receiver-general collecting customs to make monthly debt payments.
El *Evening star* evaluó las perspectivas de estabilidad en Santo Domingo tras la evacuación de las tropas estadounidenses, destacando el consenso general de que la nación merecía su oportunidad de autogobierno independiente. El artículo recapituló los antecedentes de la intervención, recordando que la ocupación de los marines en 1916 siguió a decenios de contiendas civiles y a la crisis de 1905, cuando acreedores extranjeros amenazaron con recurrir a la fuerza naval por deudas impagas. Describió cómo Estados Unidos facilitó la gestión de un empréstito de refinanciamiento de 20 000 000 de dólares respaldado por un receptor general estadounidense encargado de recaudar las rentas aduaneras para efectuar pagos mensuales de la deuda.

to support his government, or will It
be undermined and hampered by po
litical conspiracies and Insurrections
like those of the past? There are
some familiar with fhq West Indies
who feel a good deal of doubt on
this question. But all agree that
Santo Domingo should have Its trial
at domestic tranquillity—lts chance
to make good as an independent, re
sponsible nation.
When United States marines were
landed on the island in 1916 It was
to restore order out of <t political and
economic chaos that had lasted for
many long years. As early as 1905
repeated revolutions had left the af
fairs of the Dominican government
in such a hopeless state that the
United States was compelled to come
to its assistance in order to preserve
the Monroe doctrine. A large group
of foreign creditors, each ready to
present his bill with a gunboat,
clouded the horizon. Another large
group of native creditors, each plan
ning to enforce his claims against
the government by Insurrection, agi
tated the country's interior. Clearly
something had to be done' to re
establish Dominican credit, and the
United States did it.
Through its offices the republic
was enabled to secure a loan of
$20,000,000 with which to refund its
foreign debts. This was arranged hv
a bond issue, with the understand
ing that the bonds were to be paid
off in monthly Installments from the
customs revenues. In an agreement
between the two governments the
President of the United States ap
pointed a general receiver of the
Dominican customs, who was au
thorized to collect all the customs
