SummaryResumen

The Dominican Senate requested the President to demand explanations and immediate reparation from Venezuela regarding the shooting of several Dominicans, warning that recourse would otherwise be taken. The President replied that no expostulations or reprisals were warranted because the individuals had abandoned their nationality and entered the enemy's ranks, noting further that letters from Venezuela asserted those men had actually been killed in battle rather than executed. Additionally, the press advocated for establishing a bank to suppress paper money, and the value of the gold ounce was fixed at 4,000 national dollars.

El Senado dominicano solicitó al presidente que exigiera explicaciones y reparación inmediata a Venezuela con respecto al fusilamiento de varios dominicanos, advirtiendo que de lo contrario se recurriría a otras medidas. El presidente respondió que no se justificaban protestas ni represalias dado que tales individuos habían renunciado a su nacionalidad y se habían sumado a las filas enemigas, señalando además que cartas procedentes de Venezuela aseguraban que esos hombres en realidad habían muerto en combate y no fusilados. Por otra parte, la prensa abogó por la fundación de un banco para retirar el papel moneda, y el valor de la onza de oro se fijó en 4.000 pesos nacionales.
