839.00 Revolutions/23: Telegram
The Minister in the Dominican Republic (Curtis) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received 12:30 p.m.]
23. Your February 26, 6 p.m. The President’s adherents are Alfonseca who is resigning; the members of Cabinet of whom most have comparatively little political influence and Moya [who?] is opposed to the President’s reelection; Gustavo Díaz; Bonetti Buckhart [Burgos?]; the Rodriguez family of the Eastern Cibao who are now in hiding but may possibly start a counter-revolution when the Vice President has resigned; and the candidates of the National Party as reported in enclosure of my despatch number 14 of February 18,7 with some exceptions and possibly many in the Cibao from which very little news is obtainable.
The chiefs of the revolution are those named in my telegrams and others less important.
The Provinces of Santiago, Monte Cristi, Espaillat and La Vega are wholly in the hands of the revolution, as are Duarte and [garbled group] except for the forts in their capitals. Disturbances threaten in San Pedro de Macorís.
