SummaryResumen
President Hernannes met troops on the outskirts of the city and claimed command, prompting General Santa Anna to briefly retire to his plantation before troops requested he lead them, leading him to march on the city after President Hernannes ordered the burning of Don Carlos. It was anticipated that Santa Anna would capture St. Domingo City and be declared President of the Dominican Government. Additionally, reports from the schooner *Silas E. Hand* noted that island affairs were discouraging for peace and commerce, and that the President falsely claimed victory in dispatches following an unsuccessful expedition against the Spanish part of the island where his army lost all its cannon.
El presidente Jimenes [Hernannes] salió al encuentro de las fuerzas en los arrabales urbanos arrogándose el mando, induciendo al general Santana a retirarse brevemente a su hacienda hasta que la tropa le solicitó encabezarla, lo que le llevó a avanzar sobre la capital una vez que Jimenes decretó el incendio de San Carlos [Don Carlos]. Se calculaba que Santana reduciría la ciudad de Santo Domingo y sería aclamado presidente de la República Dominicana. Además, despachos traídos por la goleta *Silas E. Hand* pintaban un cuadro desalentador para la paz y el comercio insulares, señalando que el gobernante haitiano se atribuía falsas victorias tras una fallida expedición contra la banda española en la que su ejército perdió toda la artillería.

Gen. Santa Anna as President.
Hernannes, the President, met the
troops on the outskirts of the city, and
declared to them that he was still their
commander. General Santa Anna then
withdrew from the army, and retired to
his plantation, after which the troops
disbanded; but they not being satisfied,
again requested Santa Anna to head
them, which he complied with, and im
mediately marched for the city. Previous
to his march, the city of Don Carlos was
burnt by order of President Hernannes,
with a view of preventing the troops
takidg possession of it.
It was supposed that St. Domingo City
would fall into the hands of Gen. Santa
Anna, and that he would be declared
President of the Dominican Government.
Two Days Later. The schooner Silas
E. Hand also arrived yesterday from St.
Marks, St. Domingo, whence she sailed
on the 27th ult. Capt. Ackerly states
that affairs on the island are far from be
ing encouraging, either as regards the
prospects for peace or commerce, gen
erally, with foreign countries. The Pre
sident, after his return from his unsuccess
ful expedition against the Spanish part
of the island, stated in his dispatches that
his army had been victorious in every
battle, and extolled them very much for
their courage and gallantry, when, in
fact, they lost all their cannon, and were
in a most miserable condition. It was
not known how many men he had lost,
as he took the precaution not to state the
fact in his dispatches.— N. Y. Herald.
Washington, June Bth. We under
