known as the province Of Puerto Prin.

tary control of General Jimenez Gas
tellanos, and the latter has been
instructed by General Weyler to nuke
every eff,rt to capture the retiring and
newly elected members of the repub
lican convention. This, however, will
be no easy task, as the convention will
be held in the heart of the rebel dis
trict, and about which some Is 900
