SummaryResumen

The *Indianapolis Times* reported that a major rebellion had broken out against Dominican President Horacio Vásquez, prompting his wife to take shelter at the American Legation. Insurgents captured the fort and police station at Santiago de los Caballeros and took control of Dajabón near the Haitian border after disarming local authorities. The uprising was reported to be fueled largely by severe economic distress resulting from the sugar industry depression.

PORT AU PRINCE. Haiti, Feb.

25.—An insurrection of serious pro

portions has upset the administra

tion of President Horacio Vasquez

of the Dominican republic and Is

sweeping through the country, ac

cording to meager information

reaching here through strict censor

ship today.

Telegrams indicated rebels have

seized the fort and police station at

Santiago de Los Caballeros, the

principal town in the tobacco dis

trict of the republic, and that the

Dominican town, Dajabon, near the

Haitian border, is in the hands of

rebels.

have been disarmed and administra

According to information received

here, the revolution is due prin

cipally to depression in the sugar
