The Ogden standard reported that Captain Knapp was dispatched to Dominican waters with instructions to institute military rule following the overthrow of President Jiminez by General Arias. Because the United States refused to recognize the administration of Frederico Henriquez, customs revenues had been withheld, leaving native officials unpaid until American officers began disbursing $600,000 in accumulated export duties on December 2. Secretary Daniels emphasized that the military administration would not infringe on civil rights and that Dominican courts would continue to administer municipal laws.

El Ogden standard informó que el capitán Knapp fue despachado a aguas dominicanas con instrucciones de instaurar un régimen militar tras el derrocamiento del presidente Jimenes a manos del general Arias. Debido a que los Estados Unidos no reconocieron el gobierno de Francisco Henríquez y Carvajal (mencionado como Frederico Henriquez), los caudales aduaneros fueron retenidos, quedando sin sueldo los funcionarios del país hasta que los oficiales estadounidenses comenzaron a desembolsar el 2 de diciembre 600.000 dólares en derechos de exportación retenidos. El secretario Daniels enfatizó que el régimen castrense no conculcaría las libertades cívicas y que los tribunales dominicanos seguirían aplicando las leyes locales.

Knapp, recently sent to relieve Rear

Admiral Pond fh Dominican waters,

No Infringement on Civil Rights.

Secretary Daniels explained today

that the form of rule set up by Cap

tain Knapp did not contemplate any

infringement of the civil rights or

processes of the native government.
