SummaryResumen

Based on the provided newspaper excerpt, sugar cultivation in the southern provinces of the Dominican Republic experienced a significant increase, with this year's crop estimated at 10,000 hogsheads compared to scarcely as many quintals two years prior. Additionally, a revolution occurred in Haiti, during which General Teofile Parisien attacked and occupied the Government House in Cape Haytien on June 20, 1879, before being driven out by government troops and reportedly fleeing to Monte Christi on Dominican territory. The dispatch also noted rumors that Venezuelan President Guzman Blanco intended to propose to Holland the purchase of the island of Curaçao.

El despacho recogió igualmente rumores de que el mandatario venezolano Guzmán Blanco propondría a Holanda la adquisición de Curazao.
