SummaryResumen

According to the newspaper report, ongoing revolution and military conscription of laborers in the Dominican Republic have left crops greatly behind, raising the possibility that export taxes will be increased to cover the costs. General Herroux, described as a 40-year-old of obscured early life and reported Haitian origin who rose through the ranks under General Luperon, now holds absolute power as a despot or dictator over the Government at Santo Domingo. Additionally, General Benito Moncion, the former Governor of the province of Monte Cristi and backer of the revolution's leader General Jussimire de Moya, formerly ruled his province more independently than any European king.

Según la correspondencia periodística, la guerra civil y el reclutamiento forzoso de jornaleros en la República Dominicana ocasionaron un marcado atraso en las labores agrícolas, presagiándose un incremento en los tributos de exportación para costear las operaciones militares. El general Heureaux, descrito como un individuo de unos 40 años, de orígenes oscuros y supuesta ascendencia haitiana que ascendió en la milicia a la sombra del general Luperón, ejerce un poder absoluto y despótico sobre el Gobierno de Santo Domingo. De igual modo, el general Benito Monción, exgobernador de Montecristi y sostén del caudillo insurrecto general Casimiro de Moya, mandaba antaño en su provincia con mayor soberanía que monarca europeo alguno.
