SummaryResumen
A private letter from Santo Domingo denounces the Baez administration, saying its efforts to obtain gold through the Samana negotiation, a Spanish protectorate and foreign loans have failed, while ruinous contributions are exacted from the people. It describes cattle seized in the province of La Vega and sold in Santiago, with the money then presented in La Vega as part of a foreign loan, and it lists arrests, forced contributions, the exile of 22 political prisoners on the schooner Dos Hermanos, and executions in Azua.

money is on the way; it is in the hands
