SummaryResumen

*The Wichita Daily Eagle* reported that Secretary of State Walter Q. Gresham cabled the United States ambassador in Paris to caution France against using military force to collect financial claims in Santo Domingo. The intervention followed appeals from the San Domingo Improvement Company and the Dominican chargé d'affaires, who warned that French coercion would compromise American rights to collect Dominican customs revenues under an 1892 concession.
