Port au Prince, March 16, 1915.
Oreste Zamor, ex-President of the Republic, landed in Dominican Republic, crossed the frontier and went to Hinche, his residence, where he was arrested and brought to Port au Prince on Saturday. His arrival here created much excitement. He was taken to the [Page 469] Palace and from there to prison where he is now awaiting trial for entering country without passport and before issue of decree of amnesty.
Upon the alleged discovery of a vast Zamor conspiracy a number of supporters of that Government have been arrested and others have taken refuge in legations and consulates.
Disbanding of the revolutionary army is now taking place. A number have already been paid off, disarmed and sent to their homes. Perfect order prevails here. Cable repaired and service resumed.
