SummaryResumen

The *New York Journal and Advertiser* reported widespread unrest and suspended business in Santo Domingo following the assassination of President Heureaux in Moca, which prompted a nine-day official period of national mourning. Armed clashes continued in Moca as supporters of the assassins mobilized, with reports from Jamaica attributing the killing to an organized conspiracy by adherents of General Jimenes. In Havana, Cuban General Maximo Gomez dismissed rumors regarding his potential involvement or political ambitions in Dominican affairs.
