SummaryResumen

The *Evening star* reported that despite rumors of policy changes regarding national self-determination, the Navy Department indicated no prospect of an early withdrawal of the 2,000 U.S. marines stationed in Santo Domingo. Retiring Dominican minister Dr. A. Perez Perdomo, removed by the American military commander, stated that any American casualties were caused by patriotic resistance to foreign interference rather than banditry. He strongly rejected the characterization of his fellow countrymen as bandits.

El *Evening star* informó que, a pesar de los rumores sobre un cambio de política relativo a la autodeterminación de las naciones, el Departamento de la Armada descartó un retiro próximo de los 2.000 infantes de marina estadounidenses destacados en Santo Domingo. El ministro dominicano saliente, Dr. A. Pérez Perdomo, removido por el gobernador militar estadounidense, manifestó que las bajas sufridas por las fuerzas de los Estados Unidos obedecían a la resistencia patriótica frente a la intromisión extranjera y no al bandolerismo. Rechazó categóricamente que se tildara a sus compatriotas de bandoleros.
