SummaryResumen
According to a dispatch from U.S. Consul Mr. Soutier at Cape Haytien, San Domingo is experiencing considerable distress because its tobacco crop cannot be sold, largely due to a new German tariff that closed that market. This loss costs Dominicans over a million dollars and the government $75,000 in duties, leading some planters to consider substituting sugar and coffee crops. Additionally, a private letter from Minister Resident and Consul General John M. Langston in Hayti reported that he has recovered from yellow fever and intends to leave for Washington soon, delayed only by an extensive revolution in the Haytien government.
A tenor de un despacho del cónsul estadounidense Soutier en Cap-Haïtien, Santo Domingo atraviesa agudas estrecheces ante la imposibilidad de expender su cosecha tabacalera, atribuida principalmente a los nuevos aranceles alemanes que cerraron dicho mercado. La contingencia ocasiona pérdidas superiores al millón de pesos a los cosecheros y de 75.000 dólares al fisco en aduanas, incitando a varios hacendados a sustituir las vegas por cañaverales y cafetales. Por lo demás, una misiva particular del ministro residente y cónsul general John M. Langston en Haití daba cuenta de su restablecimiento de la fiebre amarilla y su próximo viaje a Washington, aplazado tan solo por una vasta insurrección contra el gobierno haitiano.

S. consul at Cape Haytlen, in a dispatch to the
Department of State, rcnorts considerable dls
tress in San Domingo on account of the failure

the market for tooacco is closed. This

and coffee crops for tobacco.
