SummaryResumen

According to the *Pittsburg dispatch* of January 3, 1889, French authorities in Hayti were reportedly divided between Legitime in the south and Hippolyte in the north, while a received cable stated that President Carnot gave an evasive reply to Dr. Auguste's request to recognize Hippolyte. Local merchants dismissed claims that France firmly backed Legitime, that the American squadron would have faced a French warship over the *Haytien Republic*, and that Legitime was imprisoning Americans or threatening to execute foreigners. Additionally, the Dominion Government's purchase of the British steamer *Red Rose* as a national man-of-war was widely reported as a sign of approaching war between San Domingo and Hayti due to vessel seizures, though Consul Julia of San Domingo noted that a $4,000,000 Holland loan had been made long before.

A tenor del *Pittsburg dispatch* del 3 de enero de 1889, las autoridades francesas en Haití aparecían divididas entre Légitime en el sur e Hyppolite en el norte, en tanto un cable recibido daba cuenta de que el presidente Carnot dio una contestación evasiva a la petición del Dr. Auguste para que se reconociera a Hyppolite. Los hombres de negocios locales desestimaron las versiones de que Francia apoyara decididamente a Légitime, que la flotilla estadounidense se fuera a batir con un buque de guerra francés a causa del *Haytien Republic*, o que Légitime encarcelara a estadounidenses o amenazara con ajusticiar extranjeros. Asimismo, la compra por el gobierno dominicano del vapor británico *Red Rose* para transformarlo en buque de guerra fue juzgada señal de inminente guerra entre Santo Domingo y Haití por incidentes navales, si bien el cónsul de Santo Domingo Julia aclaró que un empréstito holandés de 4.000.000 de pesos se concertó mucho antes.

revolutionary forces of the North of Hayti.

The belief was strengthened by the know

ledge that the French authorities in Hayti

were astride the fence. In tire South they

were openly .for Legitime. In the North

they sided with Hippolyte.

It was reported yesterday that a cable had

been received from Paris by a merchant of

this city stating that' Dr. Auguste had had

an interview with President Carnot, of the

French republic. Dr. Auguste asked that

Hippolvte be recognized. President Car

not replied evasively. The cabled

statements that Erance stands with

Legitime through thick and thin,

and that the American squadron wonld

not have taken the Haytien Republic away

without a fight had a French man-of-war

been on the spot, are scouted by Haytian

merchants in this city. France stands, they

say, exactly as the United States stands.

The statements in an afternoon paper that

Legitime was imprisoning Americans and

had declared that he would shoot every

foreigner who interfered with Haytian poli

tics if he had to shoot 500, is not believed

genuine by merchants in this city having

relations with Hayti.

-the purchase of the British tramp steamer

Red Jtose by the Dominion Government as

a national man-of-war has been widely her

alded as an indication of approaching war

between San Domingo and Hayti, the result,

it has been stated, of Iviytia"n seizures of

Dominican vessels in Dominican waters.

Consul Julia, of San Domingo, talked last

night, for the !first time of the new

Dominican navy. The Holland loan of

54,000,000, ha said, was made long before
