The American Minister to Haiti to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

I am assured by the President of Haiti that on December 23, 1911, he ordered the frontier authorities to prevent Dominican revolutionists from entering Haitian territory.2 The Haitian authorities, says the President, are greatly hampered by lack of support by the Dominican authorities on the frontier; prior to the death of President Cáceres3 they acted in conjunction with the Haitian authorities, but since then they have been inactive.
