sanguinary and what probably will
prove to be the final battle, has taken
place near Guayubin between the
troops of Gen. Caceres, the temporary
president of San Domingo, and the
insurgents. The former were victori-
Gus. Several generals on both sides
were killed or wounded.

intends, on the advice of Former Pres
ident Morales, to return to San Do
mingo and surrender, If the govern
ment will guarantee the safety of it's
officers and crew. 1t is expected also
that the governor of Monte Christi
will follow the advice of Morales and
surrender that place, provided the
necessary guarantees as to safety be
given.
