Dominican Junta Accepts Peace Force Occupation of Palace
The Dominican junta agreed in principle to allow the inter-American peace force to occupy the national palace after cease-fire violations. Dr. Jose A. Mora of the OAS said Brig. Gen. Antonio Imbert Barrera needed one more discussion with the armed forces chief. Brazilian troops were expected to occupy the palace, held by about 400 junta troops, between the safety zone and rebel territory.

Rebel chief Caamano agrees peace force to seize palace
Caamano says the peace force will take over the palace now not its seat of government. A 14 year old girl was killed and an OAS car was fired on in two cease fire violations near the palace Sunday. The car carried Arturo Morales Carrion and Gen Telmo Vargas as Mora aides. Rebels demand withdrawal of foreign troops as quickly as possible and say the US intervention is indistinguishable from the OAS.
