General Zamor at Cape Haitien telegraphs that Dominican troops have again crossed the frontier near Ouanaminthe and are fighting and devastating the country. As this is the second time recently that Dominican troops have invaded Haitian territory, the Haitian Government now contemplates vigorous measures. From the attitude of the Dominican Government as expressed to me by the Dominican Minister it appears that the invasion is intended to bring about a clash between the two countries.
