SummaryResumen
The *Evening star* reported that the U.S. military government in Santo Domingo collected customs and internal revenues, holding them in trust for administrative expenses. Government outlays were reduced by eliminating salaries for the president and congress and disbanding the native army, allowing surplus funds to accrue for return to the republic upon the occupation's end. The administration also generated new income through the strict enforcement of alcohol tax laws, which forced non-compliant distilleries to close.
El *Evening star* informó que el gobierno militar estadounidense en Santo Domingo recaudaba las aduanas y rentas internas, manteniéndolas en custodia para gastos de administración. Los desembolsos públicos se redujeron suprimiendo los sueldos del presidente y de los legisladores y disolviendo el ejército nativo, permitiendo así que se acumularan excedentes que serían devueltos a la república una vez concluida la ocupación. La administración allegó asimismo nuevos ingresos mediante la rigurosa aplicación del impuesto al alcohol, obligando a cerrar a las destilerías infractoras.
