1863-October-16: Secretary of State Seward formally responded to Spanish Minister Tassara’s complaints regarding the alleged landing of arms for Dominican rebels at Cap Haitien. Seward provided a note from Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, who stated that the Navy Department had no knowledge of any such incident. Welles asserted that the mere presence of American warships in the harbor was no proof of complicity in the arms trade. Despite this denial, Tassara remained unsatisfied, reflecting the high tension between the U.S. and Spain as the latter attempted to re-establish colonial control over the Dominican Republic.
