SummaryResumen
This narrative tells how a Puerto Plata senator chosen as president, on trial for one year after the previous president was killed, announced after some ten months that he intended to hold onto the job, sparking a general uprising against him as a usurper and tyrant. As his forces prepared to shell Puerto Plata unless the city surrendered by two o'clock, and Washington had sent two contingents of Marines to Puerto Plata and Monte Cristi to stand by, the American commander warned him that the first gun fired would result in the landing of Marines and a general cleaning out of the belligerents.
Este relato cuenta cómo un senador de Puerto Plata escogido como presidente, a prueba por un año tras la muerte del presidente anterior, anunció después de unos diez meses que pretendía quedarse en el puesto, lo que desató un levantamiento general contra él como usurpador y tirano. Mientras sus fuerzas se preparaban para bombardear Puerto Plata si la ciudad no se rendía a las dos en punto, y Washington había enviado dos contingentes de marines a Puerto Plata y Monte Cristi para estar listos, el comandante americano le advirtió que el primer cañonazo disparado provocaría el desembarco de los marines y una limpieza general de los beligerantes.

Just there fate took a hand. The
guns which were mounted to cover
the cilv of Puerto Plata had not been
fired for some time. The soldiers
were aching to start something and
they could not understand why the
President did not order the war to
begin.
One man after imhiding more than
an ordinary man's share of rum be
|gan to cry. With tears coursing down
his Jetty cheeks he begged to know
I why this and that was so and why
there had been no opportunity for
himself and his mates to show their
bravery, their skill with the big guns.
This thought became an obsession
with the lachrymose one.
