controlled the free action Of the Dominican Republic in
its relations with the United States hereby protests in
the Of his country against this breach of honor

encroachment upon the sovereign rights OF

purpose, nation, to oppose whatever measure may
be intended to subject the Independent nationality OF
American people to the arbitrary will of foreign power,

taken exceptions to this mmutabe principle Of the Anne

The United States make difference in the applica-

their sister republics and they have Just right ex
pcc the powerful and magnanimous nations Of Europe
will follow their example
These facts being well understood must call yonr
particular attention, sir to this nconsderate violation
OF the relations OF aniity and commerce subssting
between respective countries in the trust that you

this capital will use the necessary precautions to guard
those relations from farther distur bance.

just cause to distrust the sincerity and good faith OF
any whose agents in these waters there
permitted to interfere In affairs and negotiations belong

States and the Dominican republic; and confident
that you, sir, would regret equally with myself the
sequences which might result from this unauthorized
intermedding with the sanctity and freedom Of inter
