the insurgents not possessing the
means of prosecuting a protracted con-

The premature departure of Presi-

A subsequent attack on Moca being
repulsed the insurgents withdrew into
the Businesses between Moca and Porto

cession of men and arms to attack
Porto Plata and prosecute the move
ment in spite of its initial failure.
