No. 624.] The Acting Secretary of State to Minister Brun. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington, May 7, 1906. SIR: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 30th ultimo," in which you inquire whether this Government would have any objections to the appointment of Mr. Jesus L. Henriquez, vice-consul of the United States at Maracaibo, who is temporarily in charge of the Danish consulate, as the permanent consul of Denmark at that port, without salary. a Not printed. In reply I have the honor to inform you that the Constitution provides that "No person holding any office of profit or trust under them (the United States) shall, without the consent of Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title of any kind whatever from any king, prince, or foreign state." Under this clause the department has always held that no one could be appointed to a position in the American consular service who is already holding office under some other government, and that acceptance of office from another government vacated the appointment of this Government. Therefore, if Mr. Henriquez accepted appointment as Danish consul, it would be necessary for this Government to appoint another vice-consul at Maracaibo. Accept, etc., ROBERT BACON. fternoon of the 23d I was informed by the minister of for- that Governor Perez had ordered the arrest of the Horamandante de Puerto, who had resisted and been shot; that ment had thereupon adopted a decree removing Perez, but e him every opportunity to comply before proceeding forciit into effect. pon telegraphed you as follows: SANTO DOMINGO, December 23, 1905. minican Government informs me governor of Puerto Plata since this arricaded in citadel and arresting Horacistas, causing general alarm. minican Government thereupon named his successor; resistance feared. nican Government intends act with caution and legally. DAWSON. ad news was confirmed early the next morning by the followgram from the consul at Puerto Plata : N MINISTER, Santo Domingo: PUERTO PLATA, December 23, 1905. in of Port Miguel Ramirez was shot and wounded at noon resisting f arrest from governor. Government position apparently strong. An- further trouble. was followed shortly by this: CAN CONSUL, Santo Domingo: HANDLEY, PUERTO PLATA, December 23, 1905. ess President will direct governor to comply with order of minister inteo vacate in favor of Cocco, trouble will ensue. Can you advise President id order? HANDLEY. sent for the minister of foreign affairs and asked him if the ee removing Perez had been adopted. He answered in the affirme, saying that not only had the official order signed by the minr of interior been telegraphed, but that Morales himself had also egraphed over his own signature. He added that no doubt Perez is urging Morales to break with the cabinet and that, hoping to t personal and secret orders to ignore the official telegrams, he ight believe that the President's signature had been placed to the legram without his consent. I thereupon showed the minister the essages I had received from the consul and told him I proposed, n the interest of peace, at Puerto Plata to transmit to the consul a opy of any telegram which President Morales might inform me he ad already sent, and to grant Perez temporary asylum if he should want it. The latter measure would, of course, tend to facilitate the peaceful transfer of the governorship, and the minister said that he and the President would be pleased if I should take it. Accordingly I addressed a note to President Morales asking him to be kind enough to send me a copy of the telegram, if, in fact, he had sent one. Later in the afternoon I received the copy in question and theretelegraphed the consul as follows: n 'AN CONSUL, Puerto Plata: SANTO DOMINGO, December 24, 1905. ident informs me he sent following telegram: " Gobernador. Entregue iel Cocco conforme telegramma anterior. Morales." erez wishes asylum you may give it. Government will not object. Keep ormed. DAW |
