SummaryResumen
A vessel claimed as a prize by the Dominican government was declared piracy under republic laws, resulting in prison sentences of two years for the captain, mate, and pilot, and one year for the rest of the crew. Court proceedings revealed a questionable letter involving Senor Jose Maria Pando, the Spanish commercial agent at Curacao, regarding instructions and financial advances for the ship via a merchant in Porto Plata. Additionally, the Dominican Republic celebrated the February 15 inauguration of General Santana as president.
Una embarcación apresada como presa de guerra por el gobierno dominicano fue condenada por piratería bajo el ordenamiento legal patrio, dictándose penas de dos años de prisión para el capitán, contramaestre y práctico, y un año para los restantes tripulantes. Las audiencias sacaron a luz una sospechosa misiva que comprometía a don José María Pando, agente comercial español en Curazao, tocante a instrucciones y adelantos de caudales girados al navío a través de un comerciante de Puerto Plata. Por su parte, la República Dominicana conmemoró con regocijo la asunción de mando del general Santana como mandatario el 15 de febrero.

declared piracy by the laws of the republic.
Ihe captain, who calls liimsclf Totnassini,
has been sentenced, with his mate and pilot,
to two years prison, and tho rest of tho crew
to one year. The vessel is claimed by the
Dominican government as a prize.
Tho proceedings of tho court, which are
voluminous, have been published, and it is
much to bo regretted that Senor Joso Maria
Pando, commercial agent of the Spanish
government at Curacoe, occupies such a ques
tionable place in theso proceedings. Among
the papers, a letter from that functionery
was found, informing Senor Augustin Gine
bra, merchant at Porto Plata, that tho Ce
res proceeded to Porto Plata, with the object
of awaiting orders from the owners in Trini
dad do Cuba, and that meanwhile Senor Gin
ebra was to make the requisite advances.”
The Dominican government deservo great
praiso for the decision with which they acted
in this difficult and delicate question which
the government at Curacoa, much to the re
gret of philanthropists, seemed tot’nun, and
rather preferred to let the danger, us slaver
continue her criminal course, although she
was under tho guns of tho fort, than take
any responsibility upon themselves in tho
matter. Senor Joso Maria Pando plays n
part in this drama which is not to be envied.
The Dominicians celebrated, on tho 15th
of February, tho inauguration of General
Santana, their liberator from Ilaytien yoke,

beloved, and tho friends of tho republic
promise themselves a true patriotic adminis
