SummaryResumen

The *Washington Daily News* reported that an uprising against Dominican President Horacio Vásquez had broken out, leading Señora Vásquez to seek refuge in the American Legation. The paper outlined treaty provisions authorizing a U.S.-appointed general receiver of customs with American protection, and recalled the 1916–1924 marine occupation under Admiral Samuel S. Robinson. The unrest coincided with the departure of the Forbes commission aboard the *Rochester* to investigate conditions in neighboring Haiti.
