SummaryResumen

The *Morning Astorian* reported on the breakdown of the joint boundary commission that convened at Anses-à-Pitres to define the Haitian-Dominican border based on 1874 territorial positions. Negotiations collapsed after Dominican delegates insisted on conditional compliance and Dominican troops moved into vacated frontier points, prompting Haitian accusations of bad faith. Tensions escalated sharply following armed confrontations at Philobert near the Massacre River, where Haitian border outposts repelled attacks from Dominican territory.

El *Morning Astorian* informó sobre la ruptura de la comisión limítrofe conjunta que se reunió en Anses-à-Pitres para definir la frontera domínico-haitiana tomando como base las posiciones territoriales de 1874. Las negociaciones fracasaron luego de que los delegados dominicanos insistieran en un cumplimiento condicional y las tropas dominicanas avanzaran hacia puntos fronterizos desocupados, lo que motivó acusaciones haitianas de mala fe. Las tensiones se intensificaron bruscamente tras choques armados en Philobert, cerca del río Masacre, donde los puestos fronterizos haitianos repelieron ataques procedentes de territorio dominicano.

IVmlnlcan commissi. n with full powers

to define and settle the boundaries lie-tw-vn

the two republics, such boundar

ies to be based n the respective po

sitions in 1S74.

This commission met at Anses-a-PI-

tres In January. 1S99. and Immediately

set to work. In spite of explicit terms

of the Stm-Heureux convention, which

ipulated that the utl possidetis of tST4

should be taken as the base for the de-

imitation, the Dominican commission

ers openly declared that they would on

ly abide by the provisions of this clause

so long as it would be favorable to

their Interests.

In order to explain this stand n the

part of the Dominican representatives

it might be stated that. Immediately

after the signing of the convention, the

Dominican governmet.t had caused to

be occupied several points along tie

disputed frontier, which occupation lb

Haytlens regarded as an encroachment

on their territory at points from which

Haytien trllps had been wthdrawn in

rder to facilitate an amicable settle

ment of the dispute. In the end this

mixed commission separated without

having In any way improved the situ

ation. The incident that has recently occur

red at Philobert r the northern fron

tier, and which gr- i'- irg-rs the

friendly relations of the sister repub

lics is considered hy the Haytiens to be

premeditated provocation on the part

of the Dominicans. The Haytien posts

established In that district to put down

smuggling and brigandage from over

the border have had to defend them

selves against repeated attacks. Ry
