SummaryResumen
The Evening Public Ledger reported that Rear Admiral Caperton was authorized to use military force, including landing marines and bluejackets, to maintain the constitutional government of Dominican President Juan Isidro Jimenes. Washington warned Dominican officials that it viewed congressional impeachment proceedings against Jimenes as a veiled revolutionary plot, granting him an eight-day respite to reply. The excerpt also detailed a concurrent constitutional clash in Haiti, where Caperton backed President Dartiguenave against a rebellious parliament.
The Evening Public Ledger informó que el contralmirante Caperton fue autorizado a recurrir a la fuerza militar, incluyendo el desembarco de infantes de marina y marineros, para sostener al gobierno constitucional del mandatario dominicano Juan Isidro Jimenes. Washington advirtió a las autoridades dominicanas que consideraba el juicio político iniciado en el Congreso contra Jimenes como una conjura revolucionaria encubierta, otorgándole un plazo de ocho días para responder. El pasaje dio cuenta también del coetáneo choque constitucional en Haití, donde Caperton respaldaba al presidente Dartiguenave frente a un parlamento díscolo.
