SummaryResumen
According to *The New York herald* on April 19, 1861, three members of the Dominican cabinet orchestrated a transfer of power to Spain through a coup, supported by secret agents landed from the war steamer *Don John de Austria* and Spanish vessels arriving from Cuba and Porto Rico with paid emigrants, arms, and soldiers. When local authorities questioned these arrivals, they were officially told that the soldiers came to help repel Haytian invasions and the emigrants to till the ground, explanations that the people eventually came to believe after several months passed without further movements.
Según *The New York Herald* del 19 de abril de 1861, tres miembros del gabinete dominicano orquestaron la entrega del poder a España mediante un golpe de Estado, secundados por agentes secretos desembarcados del vapor de guerra *Don John de Austria* y por navíos españoles procedentes de Cuba y Puerto Rico con inmigrantes pagados, armas y tropas. Cuando las autoridades locales inquirieron sobre estos desembarcos, se les contestó oficialmente que la tropa llegaba para ayudar a rechazar invasiones haitianas y los colonos para labrar la tierra, explicaciones que la población terminó por creer al cabo de varios meses sin que se registraran nuevos movimientos.

Three members of the Cabinet took charge of that. The
transfer was to be effected by a coup it main, and after
that, the resistance of the people could be crushed out
by Spanish artillery in legal form, and, as Ueaeral Scott

steamer Don John de Austria was despatched from Cadis
early last summer to begin tbe game by laming at St.
Domingo no less than ninety secret aganU to hunt up
proselytes, help s*t them at work, and report
progress to the mother government." Spanish
vessels of war were continually coming and
going between Cuba, St. Domingo and Porto Rico, and
with every visit tbe Spanish members or the Cabinet ma
