pedition, ond as it was essential that
they should not pass to the westward,

their positions and strength, and then,
without waiting to reduce the city or
subject II to regular bombardment-
which would require due notice turn

it was good daylight. This lasted about
three hours, when the signal was made
to discontinue the firing, and the squad
ron stood to the northward until out of
sight of San Juan, when the course was
laid to the westward, with the view Of
communicating with the department at
Porto Plata and learn if the department
had obtained information as to the
movements of Spanish vessels.

from the department that the Spanish
vessels had been sighted off Curacao
