Sir: Referring to my dispatch No. 70 of the 28th
instant, in which it is stated that Mr. Sultzer Wart had been expelled from
Haiti, I have the honor to send to you herewith inclosed from Le Moniteur,
the official journal of this Government, of that date, but only just now
received, an extract, with a translation, containing the formal order for
expulsion.
It will be observed that the order is dated the 26th instant; that it is
signed by the secretary of state for the interior and the police general on
the formal approval of the cabinet; and that it affirms in its preamble that
“international law confers on every independent state the right to expel
from its territory foreigners whose conduct is a danger to tranquillity and
public order.”
I am, etc.,

Extract from Le Moniteur of May 28,
1890.
Department of the Interior and of the Police
General.
Whereas international law confers on every independent state the right to
expel from its territory foreigners whose conduct is a danger to
tranquillity and public order;
Considering that Messieurs J. R. Love and Sultzer Wart have intermeddled
in the questions of our domestic politics in stirring up, the one by his
writings and the other by active propagandism, party passions so often
baleful to this country;
On the advice of the council of the secretaries of state, (it is)
decreed:
- Article 1. Messieurs J. R. Love and
Sultzer Wart are expelled from the territory of the Republic of
Haiti and will be embarked on the first vessel leaving for a
foreign country.
- Art. 2. The chief of the
administrative police of the capital is charged with the
execution of the present decree.
Done at
Port-au-Prince, at the department of the
Interior and of the police general, the 26th
of May, 1890, the eighty-seventh year of
independence.
St. M. Dupuy,
Secretary of State for the Interior and the Police
General.
