File No. 738.3915/189.
The Assistant Secretary of War to the Secretary of State.
Washington, February 10, 1913.
In reply to your letter of the 28th ultimo1: there are no documentary data on file in the War Department relative to this boundary line; however, it is the opinion of this Department that the thalweg of the Artibonito, Libon, Capotillo and Massacre rivers is indicated by the line shown as the boundary on the map of Haiti and Santo Domingo referred to in your communication. It is the line indicated on the map of Santo Domingo by General Casimiro N. de Moya, a member of the Dominican-Haitian Boundary Commission of 1901, and was the latest obtainable information when the War Department map of Haiti and Santo Domingo was compiled.
