SummaryResumen

The *Burlington weekly free press* reported on December 14, 1888, that the steamer *Haytian Republic* (also referred to as the *Saginaw*) had been seized and held as a prize by the Haytian government for allegedly carrying contraband of war, supplying munitions, and transporting rebel troops to aid insurgents. While the Haytian authorities claimed the vessel aided insurgents who subsequently defeated government troops, the ship's owners denied carrying insurgent supplies, stating the cargo was unloaded at ports under the Dominican government and that their responsibility ended once the goods left the ship.

El *Burlington weekly free press* informó el 14 de diciembre de 1888 de que el vapor *Haytian Republic* (denominado asimismo *Saginaw*) había sido capturado y declarado presa de guerra por las autoridades haitianas bajo la imputación de transportar contrabando de guerra, proveer pertrechos y trasladar contingentes rebeldes para secundar la insurrección. En tanto el gobierno haitiano aseveraba que la nave prestó auxilio a sediciosos que luego vencieron a tropas oficiales, los armadores negaron haber conducido vituallas revolucionarias, manifestando que los cargamentos se desembarcaron en puertos bajo jurisdicción dominicana y que sus obligaciones fenecían una vez los fardos salían de a bordo.
