Passage summaryResumen del pasaje
The Santa Fe New Mexican reported that Puerto Plata faced destruction from Dominican naval shelling as government forces attacked insurgents who had declared provincial secession. Commander Andrew P. Long of the approaching cruiser Des Moines stood ready to protect American interests and safeguard the U.S.-administered custom house. The revolt against President Bordas was motivated by Governor Cespedes's opposition to central government control over the strategic Puerto Plata-Santiago railway.

nouncement of the government that
the state had been seceded from all
allegiance to the central government.
The present, danger to Americans and
their property comes from the at
tempt of the Dominican government
to force the rebel stronghold to capit
ulate. The supposed leader of the uprising
is Hector Velasquez, one time provi
sional president, of the republic. Pre
vious meager advices gave no indica
tion that any fighting had occurred.
So far as naval authorities here are
informed, the Dominican navy consists
of two or three converted yachts, arm
ed with six pounders and machine
guns. They could cause enough dam
age to an unfortified town like Puerto
Plata, and particularly Biuce it is
largely of wooden construction and
iniu'lit pasilv be set afire.
American interests m Puerto Hata j
are small. A number of Porto Ricans
recently have entered the business I
community there. Warrant for inter
vention by Commander Andrew P.
Long of the Des Moines, would be
found in any action on either side in
terfering with the operation of the
customs house, under American super
vision and control. It. is expected
that Commander Long will insist, that
hostilities be conducted outside the
limits of the town. The reason for the
revolt against President Bordas is
understood here to be founded on the
objections of Governor Cespedes, of
the province of Puerto Plata, against
the attempts of the general govern
ment to wrest, control from the provi
sional officers of the government rail
road from Puerto to Plata to Santiago,
