The Minister in the Dominican Republic (Curtis) to the Acting Secretary of State

18. Your February 25, 3 p.m. Both the Government and the Opposition have at all times shown every disposition to respect American lives and property. Nevertheless there has been serious danger of unorganized street fighting and rioting and if this occurs there will be no time for an American warship to come even from a short distance.

Cabot has lately returned with proposals of the leaders of the revolution and there seem to be good prospects of an agreement being reached.
