Bobo, ex-Minister of the Interior of Haiti, has issued revolutionary call to the Haitians from Monte Christi, where he makes headquarters. He makes attack on proposed American control of customs in Haiti. He is secretly supported by Arias, Dominican Minister of War. Manifesto issued has tendency to create bad feeling against Americans both in Dominican Republic and Haiti. I have informally called President Jiménes’ attention to Bobo’s conduct. President has commanded Bobo to leave Monte Christi at once.
