SummaryResumen

The *Weekly Union* reported that a boat crew from the American schooner *Henry Crosby* was fired upon by Dominican troops while approaching the beach near Azua, resulting in severe wounds to the first officer and the fatal shooting of a sailor. The captain reached Azua to lodge an official protest with the United States Consul General, who transmitted the findings to the State Department. Dominican troops reportedly mistook the American boat for an insurgent expedition sent to unseat President Heureaux.

El *Weekly Union* informó que la tripulación de un bote perteneciente a la goleta estadounidense *Henry Crosby* fue atacada a tiros por tropas dominicanas mientras se aproximaba a la playa cerca de Azua, lo que causó graves heridas al primer oficial y la muerte por disparos de un marinero. El capitán llegó a Azua para presentar una protesta oficial ante el cónsul general de los Estados Unidos, quien transmitió las averiguaciones al Departamento de Estado. Según trascendió, las tropas dominicanas confundieron la embarcación estadounidense con una expedición insurgente enviada para derrocar al presidente Heureaux.

cer and four sailors got into the boat and

pulled for the land. When about 300 yards

out a file of soldiers clad in the uniform of

thke Dominican army, came ruunning down

to the beach. When they reached the

water’s edge the men drew up in lige and,

levellipg their carbines at the men in the

Crosby’s small boat, fired.

One of the sallors threw up hls hands

and fell at the feet of his companions fatal-

Jy wounded. Theothers paused ia sar

prise and affright; when suddenly another

volley was fired from the shore. By this

the first officer was shot in the shoulder.

Then the boat was put about and turned

toward the schooner. The sallors rowed

for their lives. The wounded men. were

taken aboard the vessel.

The Crosby’s captain did not know what

to make of such barbarous and unwar

ranted treatment. He holsted sail, and

after a time reackhed the port of Azua.

From there he reported the outrage to the

new United States cossul general at San

Domingo city. At the latters request the

full detalls ot the shooting were written

out by the captain and the report has been

forwarded to Washington. The letter

came by the George W. Clyde, aad will

proll:ably reach the state department to

night.

No information or satisfastion was given

to the American skipper by the Dominican

authorities. Itis supposed, however, that

the soldlers thought the American sallors

were a band of conepirators who Intended

to overthrow the government of President

Heureaux.
