SummaryResumen

This profile presents Ramon Caceres, the present dictator-president of the Dominican Republic, as a big man of fully six feet and over 250 pounds whose word is law but who rules with a laugh, even, the writer says, when he shot down his predecessor, Ulysses Heureaux, and who is known throughout the land simply as Mon. It relates that Caceres put Morales in the presidential chair because he did not want the job himself, kept him there against his will, and that Morales, feeling himself virtually a prisoner in his own capital, negotiated with the revolutionists and precipitated a revolution against his own government.

Este perfil presenta a Ramón Cáceres, actual dictador-presidente de la República Dominicana, como un hombre grande, de seis pies cumplidos y más de 250 libras, cuya palabra es ley pero que gobierna con una risa, incluso, dice el autor, cuando mató a tiros a su predecesor, Ulises Heureaux, y a quien en todo el país se conoce simplemente como Mon. Cuenta que Cáceres puso a Morales en la silla presidencial porque él mismo no quería el puesto, lo mantuvo allí contra su voluntad, y que Morales, sintiéndose virtualmente prisionero en su propia capital, negoció con los revolucionarios y precipitó una revolución contra su propio gobierno.
