SummaryResumen
According to *The Portland daily press* on January 20, 1879, Dominicans General Valentine Perez and Manuel Camino conspired with ex-President General Baez in a revolutionary movement to overthrow the government of San Domingo. After taking passage on a Spanish steamer to Porto Platte, the men were demanded by Governor Lithgood, tried for conspiracy, found guilty, and executed by a firing squad four hours after leaving the vessel. Despite claiming Spanish citizenship and appealing for a respite, their judges remained inexorable.

Pese a invocar carta de naturaleza española e implorar clemencia, sus jueces se mostraron inflexibles.
