Passage summaryResumen del pasaje
The *Springfield weekly Republican* discussed prospective U.S. withdrawal from Santo Domingo, observing that wartime strategic concerns and foreign debt disputes had prompted military guardianship over the island of Hispaniola. Acting Secretary of State Davis noted that the occupation grew out of the 1907 convention establishing an American customs receivership and barring unauthorized debt expansion. The article observed that Dominican authorities later violated the convention by increasing public debt to finance the suppression of domestic rebellions.
El *Springfield weekly Republican* analizó la proyectada retirada de Estados Unidos de Santo Domingo, observando que las preocupaciones estratégicas en tiempos de guerra y las disputas por la deuda externa habían motivado la tutela militar sobre la isla de La Española. El secretario de Estado interino Davis señaló que la ocupación derivó de la convención de 1907, la cual estableció la receptoría general de aduanas estadounidense y prohibió el aumento no autorizado de la deuda. El artículo indicó que las autoridades dominicanas violaron posteriormente dicha convención al incrementar la deuda pública para financiar la represión de rebeliones internas.

of an interesting sort. The public
would like to hear more about it.
It is more than a coincidence, of
course, that the period of military
occupation has been commensurate
with the latter half of the war and
the early stage of international ad
justment. The possibility that the
island of Haiti might become a pawn
in the great game explains in part,
no doubt, the relation of the United
States toward the island’s two little
republics during the past few years.
It was important that they should
be assured stable and responsible
government of some sort in view of
foreign claims upon their resources
and foreign appreciation of their
strategic location.
The present status of Santo Do
mingo, or the Dominican Republic, is
a direct outgrowth, however, of con
ditions existing long before the
war. It was in 1907, in the admin
istration of President Roosevelt,
that a treaty was concluded, as
Acting Secretary of State Davis ex
plains, by which Santo Domingo
agreed to the appointment of an
American receiver-general of customs
for the purpose of meeting the ob
ligations of the national debt and
also agreed that the debt should not
be increased without the approval of
the United States. This course was
held to be desirable because of the
danger of European intervention
prompted by the Dominicans’ fail
ure to pay the interest on their for
eign loans.
The Dominican government, need
