SummaryResumen

The article reprints a letter from Captain Temple of the Tennessee, written at Azua Bay on February 11, 1871, warning Commissioner Wade that members of the Santo Domingo expedition who were about to travel overland toward Port-au-Prince would be placing themselves in the position of spies. Temple argues that because President Grant has ordered the American navy to protect the Baez government against any demonstration by Haiti or Cabral, Cabral would be justified in treating the travelers as spies liable to a drum-head court martial, and he asks Wade to refuse his consent to the trip and to ask President Baez to forbid their passage through his lines.

El artículo reproduce una carta del capitán Temple, del Tennessee, escrita en la bahía de Azua el 11 de febrero de 1871, en la que advierte al comisionado Wade que los miembros de la expedición de Santo Domingo que estaban a punto de viajar por tierra hacia Puerto Príncipe se colocarían en la posición de espías. Temple sostiene que, como el presidente Grant ha ordenado a la marina americana proteger al gobierno de Báez contra cualquier demostración de Haití o de Cabral, Cabral estaría justificado en tratar a los viajeros como espías sujetos a un consejo de guerra sumario, y pide a Wade que niegue su consentimiento al viaje y que solicite al presidente Báez que prohíba su paso por sus líneas.
