SummaryResumen

The Sun reported that American commissioners investigating Santo Domingo found widespread corruption and treaty violations under the unpopular Victoria administration. The commissioners reported that public funds had been misappropriated, illicit debts incurred, and government employees left unpaid while border custom houses were forced shut. The United States demanded an immediate administrative cleanup and the reopening of frontier customs posts, holding marines in readiness to provide protection.
