SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that U.S. Senator William H. King, upon returning from the Caribbean, denounced Haitian President Borno as a puppet of the State Department and High Commissioner General John H. Russell. King produced official correspondence showing that Borno's order barring him from Haiti was enforced through American military officers, arguing that U.S. claims of Haitian sovereignty were a subterfuge. The senator vowed to renew his fight in Congress to withdraw American marines, asserting that 89 percent of Haitians opposed the occupation.

El *Evening Star* informó que el senador estadounidense William H. King, a su regreso del Caribe, denunció al presidente haitiano Borno como un títere del Departamento de Estado y del alto comisionado, general John H. Russell.

El senador prometió renovar su lucha en el Congreso para retirar a los infantes de marina, asegurando que el 89 por ciento de los haitianos se oponía a la ocupación.

Haiti,” the Senator said upon his

arrival on the Army transport St.

Mihiei. “He is merely a puppet. If

the State Department and Gen. Rus

The Senator exhibited a copy of

charge of the gendarmerie in Haiti,

and copies of correspondence show

ing that the order to exclude him

had been referred to Gen. Russell,

the high commissioner, who in turn

had instructed the gendarmerie

chief to carry out the orders of

President Borno.

“The attitude of the State Depart

ment,” the Senator said, “regarding

the exclusion incident indicates that

it was an effort to keep alive the
