70 the United states.
ST. DOMINGO, May co. 1858.
Several Dominican generals recently made the
island of st. Thomas o rendezvous. Among them
were CabraI, Luperon, Embert, Adon, Pima Ricardo,
Fernandez and Pimentel. They concerted q plan Of
operations against BaeZ. The result was that ex.
President Cabra sailed for Jacmel May Is on board
the English steamer. He is to take command of the
revOlutionsts along the southern frOntier-tn San
Juan, Neyba Las Matas Cerca0, Barahona, &c. The
cheftains TmsteO and Andres OgandO. Sico Moreno,
Damian Castillo and Mariana Rodriguez sent young
man named Abelard Dubreuil through Haytien terri
tory to meet General Cabra Baez and his partisans,
as well as Cazneau represent that this movement In
the south Is in favor of President Salnave This s
like what such would report to carry out their own
schemes. 1t
General Luperon went to Turks Island so as to
operate against the north OF this repubic-the pro-
vinces of Cibao-whither the people call him as their
leader. He will there meet Generals Palanco,
Alvarez and many others who await his arrival to
pronounce against General Baez.
General Pimentel is to so from Curacao in COM
pany with General Castillo Linares, Valverde and
others to operate against SeybO and st. Domingo
the brave General Manzueta, whom Baez has been
unable to put down, either with threats or pro-
misses or by the imprisonment Of his family. He
kept in the vicinity Of Llamasa, district in ST. Do
IningO province, and never ceased lighting the
Baezists.
General Baez does not know how to get his govern
ment into working order as the employees resign
almost Immediately after appointment. They al
regard Baez's government as Illegal and transitOry,
and no one is wiling to compromise himself there
with. This IS the reason why Sener F. M. Demonte
srAxNfa ad
him, although he has been urged ana Desougnt 70
accept It,
| the CacOs hold Carlos Baez prisoner. He was on
his way 10 Salnaves government for the purpose 0l
selling that portion OF Dominican territory bounded
on the south by the Rio Yaqui. This sale was the
condition by which Baez agreed with Salnave's Min
iser Deorme Tor the aid which the latter woaa
OF the isand the Haytien side, has no sayannas nor
pasture lands to raise cattle. FROM the Rio peder-
males, whence the dividing line goes according 70
the Aranuez treaty of 1777, to the Rio laqu there
are magnificent bays which the Haytiens have
| always coveted without ever having taken the
measures to secure so valuable portion OF our
island. TO fulfil this part OF his engagements Baez
has had to mutiate constitution by dropping the
article which points out limits of the republic as
well as the clause which creates the Office OF wee
he OF %ans 1855 Is ey
| trolled the Presidents action while 1t abolished
the death penalty in political cases, he has
| substituted the constitution OF 1854, which
makes him master aud lord over the Dominicans
and imposes capital punishment for political offences.
|
he cameto power but before he could carry it out
| he was Overthrown and had to take refuge IN the
| French Consulate.
Baez has also presented to Congress bill OF his
expenses during the revolution that has just brought
him to power, but out Of deCorum they nave not
| made public the amount. The following is the only
allusiOn to 1t made the reply OF Congress to the
| Presidents message:-"As to the detailed accounts
| Of the revolutionary outlays which have been pre-
| sented by the worthy General Buenaventura Baez,
they entirely approved as well as the agreement
entered into with Sehores J. A. Jesurun ICONS OF
| the neighboring island Of Curacao, which amounts
TO 80, which il approved In all its tenor and
| conditions"
| So many documents and mortgages will be secured
by Baez in the names OF Jesrn, Fabens and Cazneau
that, even the peninsula OF SANTANA were sold for
ten times Its value the proceeds could not liquidato
all the claims that he will have on the treasury OF
the republic In connection with this trio OF specu-
atOrs IL s very positively asserted here that Jesurun
and Fabens authorized by Baez to raise loan Of
This money needed to improve Baezs situation, az
least until such time as the bay and peninsula OF
| Samana can be disposed Of for good. DO
| not think these rumOrs can be well founded,
| as Jesurun and Fabens lett here on April 20
| and Baez was inaugurated only on May 2. The
and brought severe charges against ex-Fresldent
Cabral for having sought to ALLEVIATE Samana. Whas
| Is certain however is, that whatever engagements
those gentlemen make In the United States are null
and Of no validity, as they are hot authorized by
government legally constituted Baez has been pro-
| claimed by q faction who overthrew Cabral without
| eectng Baez in constitutional manner through
qured. The latter has seated himself in the Prcsi-
dental chair in spite OF the will OF the majority and
has imprisoned, exed and prosecuted the most dis
| tingushed citizens OF the republic.
