SummaryResumen

The *Springfield weekly Republican* reported that the State Department credited U.S. treaty officials with restoring public order, increasing revenues, and advancing road and telegraph construction in Haiti. The department also refuted claims of favoritism toward the National City Bank of New York, stating it received only standard commercial support abroad.
