SummaryResumen

The Washington Herald reported that U.S. Commissioners Doyle and McIntyre were sent with marines to re-establish Dominican border custom houses and protect personnel under the 1907 treaty. The report reviewed the convention's financial terms, which scaled public debt to $17,000,000 and issued $20,000,000 in bonds through New York trusts. Increased customs revenues under American administration had enabled annual principal payments to reach $400,000, well above required minimums.

The Washington Herald informó que los comisionados estadounidenses Doyle y McIntyre fueron enviados con infantes de marina para restablecer las aduanas fronterizas dominicanas y proteger al personal de conformidad con el tratado de 1907. El informe repasó las estipulaciones financieras de la convención, que reajustó la deuda pública a 17.000.000 de dólares y emitió 20.000.000 de dólares en bonos a través de fideicomisos neoyorquinos. El incremento de las rentas aduaneras bajo la gestión estadounidense había permitido que las amortizaciones anuales de capital alcanzaran los 400.000 dólares, muy por encima de los mínimos requeridos.
