SummaryResumen

According to *The Daily Dispatch* on July 10, 1876, Pablo Villanueva—former Minister of War and Marine under President Gonzales—arrived at St. Domingo City aboard the vessel *Tybee* with a Dominican passport viséd by Haytien authorities. Upon arrival, Villanueva was warned that he would be arrested if he came ashore, prompting him to seek the assistance of American consul Mr. Paul Jones to help him safely retrieve his wife and child and collect money owed to him without causing political strife. The following day, Dominican forces brought a cannon and troops down to the wharf, pointing the cannon directly at the *Tybee*.

Según *The Daily Dispatch* del 10 de julio de 1876, Pablo Villanueva —exministro de Guerra y Marina bajo el presidente González— arribó a la ciudad de Santo Domingo en el vapor *Tybee* con pasaporte dominicano visado por las autoridades haitianas. A su llegada, se le advirtió de que sería apresado si desembarcaba, por lo que impetró la asistencia del cónsul estadounidense Sr. Paul Jones para que le ayudara a recoger con seguridad a su esposa e hijo y cobrar un dinero adeudado sin causar agitación política. Al día siguiente, las tropas dominicanas bajaron un cañón y soldados al muelle, apuntando la pieza de artillería directamente contra el *Tybee*.

ger named Pablo Villanueva, ex-Minis ter of

War and Marine under President Gonzales,

of the ^Republic of St. Domingo. He was

provided with a Dominican passport, duly

visdd by the Haytien authorities, and was

bound for St. Domingo city, the capital of

St. Domingo. In due course we arrived

therg and came to anchor in the port, where

we were boarded by the Captain of the

Port and other officials, several of whom

spoke and recognized Villanueva. A few

hours afterward- word was sent to Villanu

eva from the recently-elected President of

the republic that if he should come ashore

he would be arrested. Villanueva, feeling

safe under the protection, sent for the

American consul, Mr. Paul Jones, and told

him in English, which he speaks very flu

ently, that he came to St Domingo City to

see his wife and child, as all the letters he

wrote to them had been intercepted, and

that he intended to take them away to New

York, where he was going to reside for the

future. He also said he came to claim some

$5,000 due to him from different people, and,

In conclusion, that he had no desire to cause

any new political strifes, his errand being

simply as above stated. After learning this

the consul left the Tybee and was rowed

ashore.

b THE TYBEB THREATENED.

The following day the first notification

we had of hostilities on the part of the Do

minicans was the bringing down to the

wharf of a cannon, accompanied by troops.

The cannon was pointed at our vessel, the

distance being some sixty feet from where

we were moored. The Military Governor
