SummaryResumen

The El Paso Herald reported that Dominican government efforts to bombard rebel-held Puerto Plata endangered American lives and property in the wooden, unfortified town. Commander Andrew P. Long of the U.S. gunboat Des Moines was instructed to prevent interference with the American-supervised custom house and urge that fighting occur outside municipal limits. The rebellion against President Bordas was reportedly triggered by local resistance after the national government attempted to seize control of the Puerto Plata-Santiago railway.

El *El Paso Herald* informó que las tentativas del gobierno dominicano por bombardear Puerto Plata, en manos rebeldes, ponían en peligro vidas y propiedades estadounidenses en esa población de madera y sin fortificar. El comandante Andrew P. Long, del cañonero estadounidense *Des Moines*, recibió instrucciones de impedir cualquier interferencia con la aduana supervisada por los Estados Unidos e instar a que los combates se librasen fuera de los límites urbanos. Según trascendió, la rebelión contra el presidente Bordas se desató por la resistencia local tras intentar el gobierno central asumir el control del ferrocarril de Puerto Plata a Santiago.

So far as naval authorities here ara

informed, the Dominican navy consists

of two or three converted yachts, armed

with six pounders and machine guns.

unfortified town like Puerto Plata, and

American interests in Puerto Plata are

small. A number of Porto Ricans re
