The American Minister to the Dominican Republic to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

I am informed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs that he has instructed the Dominican Minister at Washington,1 to consult with the Department in regard to the advisability of an ultimatum from the Dominican to the Haitian Government, which is openly violating treaties and international obligations. The Dominican Government desires to know if we can help them in any way.
