SummaryResumen

The Springfield Weekly Republican reported that fully equipped American marines landed outside Santo Domingo City from the cruiser *Prairie* to protect the U.S. legation and restore order amid clashes between President Jimenes and General Arias. President Jimenes resigned his office in an effort to prevent full-scale armed intervention by the United States after Washington threatened military measures. As the French armored cruiser *Marseillaise* entered port, five additional U.S. destroyers and a naval supply ship were dispatched to Dominican waters.

The Springfield Weekly Republican informó que infantes de marina estadounidenses con pertrechos de combate desembarcaron a las afueras de la ciudad de Santo Domingo desde el crucero *Prairie* para resguardar la delegación diplomática estadounidense y restablecer el orden ante los enfrentamientos entre el presidente Jimenes y el general Arias. El presidente Jimenes renunció a su cargo en un intento por impedir una intervención armada abierta de los Estados Unidos luego de que Washington amenazara con medidas de fuerza. Al tiempo que el crucero acorazado francés *Marseillaise* recalaba en puerto, cinco destructores estadounidenses adicionales y un buque nodriza partieron rumbo a aguas dominicanas.
