SummaryResumen

The *Indianapolis Journal* reported that the United States Navy dispatched the cruiser *Baltimore* to Santo Domingo carrying official instructions for Minister Powell amidst escalating revolutionary turmoil. An insurgent manifesto issued at Puerto Plata denounced President Alejandro Wos y Gil for political oppression, crowded prisons, and severe fiscal ruin. The rebels specifically condemned the administration for unpaid foreign debts, heavy petroleum taxes, irregular concessions to the Hamburg-American Line, and a dangerous legislative proposal to neutralize national ports in wartime.

El *Indianapolis Journal* informó que la Armada de los Estados Unidos despachó el crucero *Baltimore* hacia Santo Domingo con instrucciones oficiales para el ministro Powell en medio del creciente torbellino revolucionario. Un manifiesto insurgente promulgado en Puerto Plata denunció al presidente Alejandro Wos y Gil por opresión política, cárceles abarrotadas y una severa ruina fiscal. Los rebeldes condenaron puntualmente al gobierno por las deudas externas impagadas, los gravosos impuestos al petróleo, concesiones irregulares a la Hamburg-American Line y una peligrosa propuesta legislativa para neutralizar los puertos nacionales en tiempo de guerra.
