The facts which the Generals commanding the besieg
ing armies Of e. Domingo and Samana with all their
tails have officially communicated the COVE rnment

first Of these two places both TO and TO other
fully confirm prediction that within O very short
time the other OF these cities will be surrendered

amongst whom we With satisfaction was the valiant
Captain Badomero victorino.

conviction relative TO the speedy termination Of the ex
ceptonal state Of things wherein the country finds Itself
