SummaryResumen
This profile of Heureaux, known as Lilis, says his enemies charge him with disposing of political prisoners by poison, by the dagger and by shooting, in the dungeons of Santo Domingo City and elsewhere. It describes how he ran Congress to suit himself, how the supreme court and local tribunals gave verdicts in accordance with his previously expressed wishes, and how as a financier he increased the public debt and fell into the hands of an American syndicate representing the holders of Dominican bonds, which controlled the revenues of the country; of an authorized issue of $1,000,000 in paper money, $3,600,000 was placed in circulation and became waste paper, and the resulting panic, the article says, indirectly took Lilis to Moca, where he met his fate at the hands of Roman Caceres.
Este perfil de Heureaux, conocido como Lilis, dice que sus enemigos lo acusan de deshacerse de los prisioneros políticos por veneno, por el puñal y por fusilamiento, en las mazmorras de la ciudad de Santo Domingo y en otros lugares. Describe cómo manejaba el Congreso a su antojo, cómo la suprema corte y los tribunales locales dictaban sentencias de acuerdo con sus deseos previamente expresados, y cómo, como financiero, aumentó la deuda pública y cayó en manos de un sindicato estadounidense que representaba a los tenedores de bonos dominicanos y controlaba los ingresos del país; de una emisión autorizada de $1,000,000 en papel moneda, se pusieron en circulación $3,600,000 que se convirtieron en papel sin valor, y el pánico resultante, dice el artículo, llevó indirectamente a Lilis a Moca, donde encontró su fin a manos de Román Cáceres.
