Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "USS Boston (1884)" in English language version.
The Navy department has no information of the reported surrender to the commander of the United States steamship Boston of the steamer Haytian Republic by the authorities of Hayti. The only report received from Capt. Ramsey (and this was received by mail), stated that the Haytian officials had released the American schooner William Jones, which had been seized on suspicion of engaging in filibustering after an investigation which established her innocence.
