PoRTo PLATA, June 8, 1874.
State Of Afairs- What Ought to be Done.
The convulsed and distracted state of this beau
tiful and valuable island still continues.
The Spanish population occupying the eastern
part, have successfully freed themselves from tn
iron yoke of their late oppressors the Haytiens.
A decisive action was fought before the city Of
Santiago on the 3Oth March, wherein the spaniards,
amounting to five thousand men completely de.
feated General Pierrot with force Of eighteen
thousand Haytiens under his command, and who
abandoned in his preciptate retreat quantity q
arms, baggage, and his wounded.
President Herard, who commanded the mill
tary operations Of the Haytiens in person, on tb.
south side of the island, at the head OF fifteen thou
sand men, after suffering great loss before Azua,
only occupied the place three days after the eva.
cuatlon of the Spaniards but could proceed no fur
ther.
He made an attempt with division of his army
to pursue the road towards Barrie, bur was sur
prsed in defile by the Spaniards who cut 4.
pieces number Of his men, and forced him to Re
treat. He then entrenched himself in Azua Il
wait for reinforcements.
Subsequently, the Spaniards. having destroyed
the fotilla, which supplied his army with provi-
sions, and surrounding the place with guerillas
completely cut off his resources that he wa.
compelled to evacuate Azna on the 9th o.
May, and IN the excitement of revenge for his d
appointment, laid the town in ashes, forcibly Car
rying of all the most beautiful Spanish female
with his army.
He then marched upon San Juan, which he like
wise burnt to the ground.
The inhabitants Of Aux Cages having revolted,
and those OF Cape Hayten having reDounced hi
authority, whose example was followed by thos
of Port au Prince, the army abandoned him, and
by our last advces he was prisoner under sen
tence OF transportation
The Spanish forces have since occupied Their
frontiers, and. at the present day, the Haytien Gro
vernment, il such government really still exists,
does not possess an inch of the Spanish territory
nor are they in a condition to dispute the Dominl-
can Independence in any way.
The Spanish or Dominican Government main
tans itself purely on the defensive; the country i
perfectly tranquil, and the Inhabitants fully
pied with their crops

with white cross through the centre.
It Is now fully time that the civilized world IN

globe; most prolific soil is spread by the bouneous
hand of nature over the smiling hills and valleys
it is covered with excellent timber; iron is abun
dani, and valuable copper mines, surrounded by ex
tenslve fields of superior coal invite the capitalist
the enterprzing, and the indu u'trious, to approach
and partake OF what an enlightened and civiilZec
government has now unfettered from The grasp o
sordld egotism, and thrown open TO the world.
A plenipotentiary, Mr.. CeIgny Arouin, arrived
at st. Domingo on the Sd Of June, from the Por
au Prince Government, to enter into treaty witt
the Spaniards, who refused him an audience, be
cause he was not prepared TO treat with them as al
independent nation.
He was accordingly intimated to retire within
twenty-four hours, which was complied with.
