Four to five thousand Marines were on standby, but only about thirty were needed for the action. Palma's government collapsed as insurgents seized much of the island outside Havana. President Palma and his Cabinet resigned amid negotiations that failed. Taft announced America’s role to pacify and rebalance Cuba and reestablish its government.
