SummaryResumen

According to the *New-York daily tribune* on April 21, 1854, martial law was declared in Santiago following a conspiracy, with five ringleaders before the court and over forty persons under arrest. Meanwhile, the revision of the Dominican Constitution was completed, featuring an increased number of representatives and senators, the creation of a vice president, and changes reducing the naturalization time periods required for foreigners to become eligible as representatives and senators. Additionally, while the standard presidential and vice-presidential term was set at four years, actual President General Santana was granted two terms in office, allowing him to hold the chair until February 1861.

Con arreglo al *New-York daily tribune* del 21 de abril de 1854, se declaró el estado de sitio en Santiago a raíz de una conspiración, encausándose ante los jueces a cinco cabecillas y permaneciendo más de cuarenta sujetos en prisión. Entre tanto, concluyó la reforma de la Constitución dominicana, elevándose la representación en el cuerpo legislativo con mayor número de diputados y senadores, estableciéndose la magistratura de vicepresidente y abreviándose los plazos de avecindamiento para que los forasteros optasen a ser elegidos representantes y senadores. Asimismo, fijándose en cuatro años el mandato ordinario del presidente y vicepresidente, al actual mandatario, general Santana, se le concedieron dos períodos sucesivos, autorizándosele a regir la presidencia hasta febrero de 1861.
