SummaryResumen

The *New-York Tribune* reported allegations by General Francisco Leonte Vásquez that Dominican insurgents deliberately targeted Americans to provoke armed United States intervention. Vásquez claimed government troops discovered incriminating letters at Santiago de los Caballeros written by revolutionary Governor Desiderio Arias to rebel leader Juan Isidro Jimenes. According to Vásquez, these documents explained the deadly attack on machinist Johnson of the USS *Yankee* and the gunfire directed against the American steamer *New York*.
