Dewey Explains Why He Didn't Call on Morales in San Domingo
Admiral Dewey and staff at Havana telegraphed the navy department that the visit to President Morales of San Domingo was not made due to ongoing fighting in the city and expected continued hostilities. Casualties occurred in San Domingo City while the party was in the area. Dewey sent regards via United States Minister Powell, and the explanation was deemed satisfactory. In Michigan, cherry growers urge robins be exterminated, sparking a counter push by women to protect the birds as insect eaters. The Port Huron meeting of the state horticultural society discussed classing robins with game birds for open season.
