SummaryResumen

The *Willmar Tribune* reported that the steamer *Cherokee* arrived in Santo Domingo after being turned away from northern ports by a government cruiser, bringing word that northern regions had joined the revolution. The paper published an insurgent manifesto from Puerto Plata condemning President Wos y Gil for tyranny, crowded prisons, and extreme financial decay. The document highlighted unpaid public debts, heavy petroleum taxes, an odious $120,000 loan, and irregular four-year port concessions granted to the Hamburg-American Line.

El *Willmar Tribune* informó que el vapor *Cherokee* arribó a Santo Domingo tras haber sido rechazado en puertos septentrionales por un crucero del gobierno, trayendo noticias de que las regiones del norte se habían sumado a la revolución. El diario publicó un manifiesto insurgente de Puerto Plata que condenaba al presidente Wos y Gil por tiranía, prisiones abarrotadas y una ruina financiera extrema. El documento destacaba las deudas públicas impagas, los elevados tributos al petróleo, un oneroso empréstito de 120.000 dólares y concesiones portuarias irregulares por cuatro años concedidas a la Hamburg-American Line.
