Passage summaryResumen del pasaje
The *Milwaukee Leader* reported that President Hoover ordered 500 marines to Haiti after widespread unrest and strikes led to martial law in Port-au-Prince. The disturbance was reportedly triggered when an American customs collector struck a Haitian employee, while High Commissioner Russell warned of dangerous unrest in Aux Cayes. The incoming troops were deployed to protect foreign residents and reinforce the 700 marines stationed in the republic, which shares an island with the Dominican Republic.
El *Milwaukee Leader* informó que el presidente Hoover ordenó el envío de 500 infantes de marina a Haití después de que huelgas y desórdenes generalizados motivaran la declaración de la ley marcial en Puerto Príncipe. Según trascendió, el conflicto se originó cuando un recaudador aduanero estadounidense agredió a un empleado haitiano, al tiempo que el alto comisionado Russell alertaba sobre peligrosas protestas en Los Cayos (Aux Cayes). Las tropas recién despachadas fueron asignadas a resguardar a los residentes extranjeros y reforzar a los 700 marines acantonados en la república, que comparte la isla con la República Dominicana.
