SummaryResumen

According to *The Evening Telegraph* of January 30, 1866, Mr. Baez attained the presidency through a coup d'état aided by General Cabral's relinquishment of power and Pedro Guillermo's armed force. The article reports that the majority of the nation opposes Baez's administration due to his service as a Spanish Field Marshal during the independence struggle, and notes that his regime is currently jailing and persecuting suspected opponents of a thwarted uprising at Puerto Plata.

La crónica refiere que la mayoría de los ciudadanos rechaza el gobierno de Báez en razón de su pasado como mariscal de campo al servicio de España durante la guerra de independencia, señalando asimismo que el régimen persigue y encarcela a presuntos desafectos involucrados en un frustrado alzamiento en Puerto Plata.
