SummaryResumen
The newspaper reported that Haytian and Dominican forces have alternately occupied disputed territory, with Haytiens holding practical control of San Rafael, San Miguel, and Los Caobas, while the Benica valley and Neiba district were overrun by both governments. It also noted a map issued by private parties—based on a Haytian report from President Geffrard's time—detailing a boundary line from Monte Cristi to the south shore, which the publication dismissed as preposterous. Furthermore, a member of the Commission recently found Monte Cristi inhabited by a Spanish-speaking people under Dominican authorities with no awareness of any outside claim since 1814.
El periódico expuso que las fuerzas dominicanas y haitianas habían ocupado de forma intermitente comarcas limítrofes en litigio, reteniendo los haitianos el control material de San Rafael, San Miguel y Las Caobas, en tanto que el valle de Bánica [Benica] y el distrito de Neiba eran recorridos por destacamentos de ambos bandos. Mencionó asimismo un mapa impreso por particulares —fundado en una memoria haitiana de tiempos del presidente Geffrard— que trazaba una línea divisoria desde Montecristi hasta la costa sur, lindero que la publicación desestimó por absurdo. Además, un miembro de la comisión comprobó recientemente que Montecristi se hallaba habitado por gentes de habla hispana sujetas a las autoridades dominicanas, ajenas a reclamación extranjera alguna desde 1814.

Ppanbh speaking portion of the Island, except a
few interior valleys on the Dominican side of the
line, In some of which there has been an almost
constant stinggle. Since that time the Haytien
and Dominican forces alternately occupying the
disputed territory. Of this disputed territory the
Haytiens have held practically cmstant control
of the towns of San Rafael, San Miguel and Los
Csobas.
The Benlca (valley east of these, with Benica ai
Its principal town, and the Nezba district to tha
south, have been alternately ovorruu by both giv
erriments. The attention of the Commission had
been drawn to a map issued by private parties In
our own country, claiming to be based upon a Hav
tien report made on this subject In President (ief
frard's time. The boundary given In this extends
from a point just east of Monte Uristl. on the north
shore of the island, in a nearly north and south line,
to a point on the south shore nearly opposite the
island of Alta Vela.
Whether the Commission be right or wronp; In
judging that any Infringement on Dominican terri
tory has been bused on usurpation, and Is therefore
null, the claim to any sucn line as tnat above indi
cated must seem preposterous to any ono co ivar-

of Monte Cristi, which by that map should ba un
der Haytien control, was at a recent visit of a
menitier of the commission found to be inhabited
iv a Spanish-sneaking people, with Dominican au
thorities, and no one seemed to be at all awre that
it bad been claimed since 1814 by any other govern
