OUR ST. DOMINGO CORRESPONDENTS.
Sr DOMINGO, Jan Q, 1885.
II has been ascertsncd that General Luperon and
era others Of the leaders tho late revolution at Puerto
Plata against the Of President Baez escaped
TO Turks Island.
salnave who figured 80 prominently at Cape Hay ten,
among the revolutonisss Hc is now prisoner at
Puerto Plata, and will shortly b sent 10 the city Of g.
Domingo.
Although this revolution has bcSn 80 s~stiy quecd
yet there arc doubts about Mr. Baex yemansy power
coup das effected his eievstioa 70 tho Presidency
through tho treason Of GcBer Cabral tho suy other
canddse, Who knowing bis own incapssity % occupy
shat high position suddenly and II the last moaen
lnqushed hts pretcnsons In favcr Of Mr. Baez who
further aided by the armed forceo q named Pedro
Guillermo Cabral compromising many Of the most re-
spectacle citizens, who had placed all confidence
In him. Recent events clearly show that tho ma
jority or the nation are not in favor or the adj
ministration OF Baez, and nothing but the APP
preaching tobacco crop could have frustrated the attempt
to overthrow his power at Puerto Plata. The people
understand what right he has TO the first mags-
tracy, for during tho struggle with Spain, while they
were fighting for their independence, Mr. Baez calmly
watched the events occurring in Europo-he being at
the time Field Marshal in the pay OF this foe TO the
republic and this rank he only resigned after the evacua
ton of the island by the Spanish troops
At the present moment the different Consuatcs in the
city Of St. Domingo afford scanty protection 10 number
of persons prosecuted by MN suspicion OF being
implicated in the not ut Puerto Plata; that this Is
of In consequence OF their opposition to his
former rule cannot be doubted The prisons crowded
with Those who had not the good fortune 10 reach the
shelter OF tho Consulaes; many who had been absent,
arriving at the moment were conveyed from The landing
10 PRISON.
Although fair promises had been given that those poll
Bacz proves by his tho falsi,y of such promises
general rising Is expected from the fact that the popula
ton greatly ncensed at the acts OF hs administration
1t reported that the President has been the
streets since the day Of his Inauguration
Moreover, Mr. Baezs res dence In Europe has in
fucnced him TO lean towards French policy while the
Inhabitants sympathize entirely with the policy of the
United States
The health OF tho island Il good The tobacco crop In
the northern part Of the island will DO exceedingly large
IN compar. son with former years.
