By the arrival of the steamship South America
we have ST. Thomas dates TO January %.
The choleia, which had somewhat abated in
the principal towns of Gaudaloupe, retained its
full force IN the interior of the country, and
there has been no diminution OF deaths Accord
ing to official reports the deaths have amounted
to eleven thousand two hundred In all.
All COnsuls named by the Dominican Govern
ment have been suspended until new treaties
are formed with the different countries.
ST. DOMINGO, January 9.-lt has been ascer :
tanned that General Luperon and several others
Of the leaders in the late revolution at Puerto
PLATA against the Government OF President Baez
escaped to Turks Island.
Sanave, who figured so prominently at Cape
Haytien, was among the revolutionists. He is
now prisoner at Puerto Plata, and will shortly
be sent to the city of st. Domingo.
Although this revolution has been so easily
quelied, yet there are doubts about Mr.. Baez
rsmatIng IN pqp%ero cop @dt effected his
OF General Cabral, the only other candidate,
who, knowing his own ncapacity to occupy that
high position, suddenly, and at the last moment,
relinquished his pIetensions in favor of Mr..
Baez, who was further aided by the armed force
oil man named Pedro Guillermo, Cabral com
promising many of the most respectable citizens,
who had placed all confidence in him.
Recent events clearly show that the majority
of the nation are not in favor of the admnistra-
ton of Baez, and nothing but the approaching
tobacco crop could have frustrated the attempt
to overthrow his power at Puerto Plata. The
people cannot understand what right he has to
the first magistracy, for during the struggle with
Spain, while they we're lighting for their lnde-
pendence, Mr.. Baez calmly watched the events
occurring in Europe, he being at the time
Field Marshal, in the pay of this foe TO the Re
public, aud this rank he only resigned after the
evacuation of the island by the Spanish troops.
At the present moment the different Consulates
in the city of St. Domingo afford scanty pro-
lection to number of persons perse-
cuted by him upon suspicion of being implicated
in the riot at Puerto Plata; that this is measure
of revenge in consequence OF their opposition to
his former rule cannot be doubted. The prisons
are crowded with those who had not the good
fortune to reach the shelter of the Consulates;
many who had been absent arriving at the
moment were conveyed from the landing to
prison.
Although fair promises had been given that
those political animosites would be buried in
oblivion yet Mr.. Baez proves by his acts the
talsity of such promises. general rising is
expected, from the fact that the population are
greatly incensed at the acts of his administra-
ton. 1t is reported that the President has not
been seen in the streets since the day of his
Inauguration.
Moreover Mr.. Baez's residence in Europe has
influenced him TO lean towards French policy,
while the inhabitants sympathiZe entirely with
the policy of the United States.
The health of the island is good. The tobacco
crop in the northern part of the island will be
exceedingly large in comparison with former
years.-N Y. Herald.
