Cape Hayden. ilayti june 5. 1850 a. IN.
The mystery surrounding the movements
OF the Clyde line steamer Fanita are now
said to be fully explained. II appears cs-
tablished beyond doubt that the reports
of an uprising In tho republic of Santo
Domingo against the power Of President
Hcurreaux are correct. The initial blow
was struck Mt Monte Cristo on the borders
OF Hayt, the nearest Dominican por, TO
Cape Hayiien IL would appear that the
Fanita, instead OF having on board seven
teen Domincans, probably had 1850 ON
board.
The Fanita arrived hero June 1. half
empty. bringing from New York provisions
for the navy, which she landed at Mat
thewton, Great lnNgua, bahama Islands.
She slipped away about 10 o'clock the Same
night and WIS to touch at Monte Cristo
or at the keys Just this Side with the OBJ
Ject, 1t was alleged, OF filling UP tho
empty portion of her hold. She had on
board Chris Roberts of Great lnagua, the
most famous pilot OF the West Indies. The
CAPTAIN of the Fanta said the portion OF
her cargo which was not landed consisted
OF coal. but there is good reason To sup
pose IL consisted OF something very diff
teront from coal, Tho suspicious OF the
Spanish consul here were aroused. He de-
nounced tho taking on board the steamer
OF the nominicans and the sudden sailing
OF the vessel without notice and without
the permission OF the Dominican consul
Tho Spanish consul classed this as a great
outrage and az an act Of piracy, and entered
d formal protest with the Hayden autbori-
ties,
The majority OF the DominicaDs, il APP
pears. while here were shut up in the hold
OF the Fauitn to escape attention,
| Janto Ysidor Jlminiz and General Pablo
Villancva are believed TO have been on
| board. II is also noted that the former
| has long been In the public eye In Santo
| Domingo as good man for the presidency.
| Villnneva fought bravely against President
| Hourreauxs alleged usurpation and was
cxiled. He has been living at Managua
| for some time past and the Fanita h said
| TO have stopped there In order to take him
on board.
| The preparations for revolution are said
| TO have been very elaborate and there is a
strong belief here that the revolutionsts are
suro OF success But, on Tho other hand,
the Dominican president says he has Il
report that the reyolutionists have been
| defeated at Monte Cristo. The report Is
| not generally believed.
| According to the impression which pre-
| walls at Cape Haytien, the Fanita, when
| she lcf, here. had tried and resoiute
| body of men on board. and as she carried
heavy supply OF arms and ammunition II
| Is charged that she successfully worked up
tho impression that sho was engaged IN an
expedition to Cuba and was going to Monte
Cristo TO take on men.
Adviees received here on the subject say
| that the Fanita arrived at Monte Cristo at
3 O'Clock Yesterday afternoon and that tho
| revolutionists had no difficulty in taking
| the town,
| Tho most circumstantial reports have II
| that tho revolutionists are now In consId~
| erabIo force and that under General Morales
and General Villaneva they are marching
| on Puerto Plata. while another detachment
| IA moving against Santa dc los Cabnllcros,
| on tho Vague river 100 miles cast OF this
| place. General Garcia. another important
| Dominican leader. Is said TO be taking part
| In tho revolution, and II is expected there
| will be n rising nj Santo Domingo. the
| capital of the Dominican republic,
New York. June IA Herald dispatch
| from Puerto Plata. Dominican Republic
says: revolutionary expedition was
landed at Monte Christie from Hayti under
the leadership of Senior Jlmincz. who was
formerly merchant In New York. The
| government had been advised and troops
were waiting for the party and all were
| captured. The leader WAS sentenced to b.
| executed but n subordinate. General Au-
| gustlp Morales, was shot without delay
| President Heaiiseaux will arrive at Monte
| Cristo tomorrow II is almost certain
| that the whole party Will be executed.
