SummaryResumen

According to the newspaper report, the Dominican government ordered the arrest of a general aboard the steamship *Tyhee* on the grounds of attempting to foment a revolution from the Haytian frontier, but American Consul Paul Jones decided the general was entitled to remain on board under the protection of the American flag. Despite the Consul's protests and Captain Kuhl's preparations to defend the vessel—which included displaying American flags—Dominican authorities brought a field piece to the wharf and sent fifty armed soldiers who tore away the flags and boarded the ship.

Según la reseña periodística, el gobierno dominicano ordenó el arresto de un general a bordo del vapor *Tybee* bajo la acusación de intentar fomentar una revolución desde la frontera haitiana, pero el cónsul estadounidense Paul Jones determinó que el general tenía derecho a permanecer a bordo al amparo del pabellón estadounidense. Pese a las protestas del cónsul y a los preparativos del capitán Kuhl para defender la nave —que incluyeron el despliegue de banderas estadounidenses—, las autoridades dominicanas emplazaron una pieza de artillería en el muelle y despacharon a cincuenta soldados armados que arrancaron las banderas y abordaron el buque.
