SummaryResumen

The *New-York tribune* reported on the departure of the vessel *Mercedes* (also known as the *Novelty*) for Samana with 200 tons of coal and no freight or passengers, though detectives believed it carried hidden guns for the vessel *Madrid* and might switch from the Dominican flag to Haytian colors. Dominican Consul Carlos Julien stated that he privately purchased the ship for $60,000 from a Boston firm and intended to sell it to the highest bidder among those needing vessels in the South, including General Hyppolite and General Legitime.

El *New-York tribune* consignó la zarpada del buque *Mercedes* (llamado también *Novelty*) rumbo a Samaná conduciendo 200 toneladas de carbón de piedra, sin carga general ni pasaje, si bien la policía secreta presumía que ocultaba cañones para el transporte *Madrid* y que mudaría la bandera dominicana por los colores haitianos. El cónsul dominicano Carlos Julien manifestó haber comprado particularmente el buque a una casa de Boston por 60.000 dólares para enajenarlo al mejor postor entre quienes precisaran buques en el sur, incluyendo a los generales Hyppolite y Légitime.
