SummaryResumen

An armed man abruptly entered a session of the Dominican Congress to announce the impending arrival of revolutionary forces and proclaim General Baez as president, causing the ministers to flee in terror. Following this confusion, General Pedro Guillermo was appointed dictator until Baez could arrive, and an election on December 14th unanimously named Buenaventura Baez President of the Dominican Republic. Meanwhile, Cabral accepted a military position under the new government, which Guillermo practically headed.

Un individuo armado irrumpió súbitamente en una sesión del Congreso dominicano para anunciar la inminente llegada de huestes revolucionarias y proclamar presidente al general Báez, haciendo que los ministros huyeran despavoridos. En medio del desconcierto subsiguiente, el general Pedro Guillermo fue investido como mandatario provisorio hasta la llegada de Báez, y en los comicios del 14 de diciembre se proclamó unánimemente a Buenaventura Báez presidente de la República Dominicana. Entretanto, Cabral aceptó un cargo militar bajo el nuevo régimen, que de facto encabezaba Guillermo.
