The American Minister to Haiti to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.—Extract.—Paraphrase.]

The President of Haiti and the Minister for Foreign Affairs assure me that they are doing everything possible to maintain neutrality of Haitian officials as to Dominican revolutionary movement, and that no more can be done without reenforcing their frontier forces, which is objected to by the Dominican Minister, who has been requested to suggest a method of closer cooperation between the Haitian Government and the Dominican officials.
