SummaryResumen

The *New-York Tribune* reported on the seizure of an iron bridge over the Ozama River owned by American contractor Nat McKay under a long-term concession from the Dominican Republic. Following a collision with a scow, Dominican courts ruled against McKay and ordered the bridge seized for auction, prompting the United States State Department to instruct its consul to protest the action.

El *New-York Tribune* informó sobre la incautación de un puente de hierro sobre el río Ozama, propiedad del contratista estadounidense Nat McKay en virtud de una concesión a largo plazo otorgada por la República Dominicana. Tras una colisión con una barcaza, los tribunales dominicanos fallaron contra McKay y ordenaron el embargo del puente para su subasta, lo que motivó al Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos a instruir a su cónsul a protestar contra dicha medida.
