SummaryResumen
A correspondent quartered in St. Domingo City describes the so-called Palace, the former palace of the Spanish Captain Generals, where several of the visiting party are lodged, and a superstition that no president can reside there and leave it alive, which has kept President Baez and other presidents from living there. He also describes the city as a fortified place of about five thousand people, with walls, a ditch and guarded gates, narrow streets and mostly one-story houses.

THE 1A1.AC3.
The best bulldlna, perhaps, in St. Domingo. Is the
so-called Palace, wnerc several of our party are
quartered. It was the vicerenal Palace or tlia
spanish Captain Uenerals. It Is not so old as some
ot ihe other buildings, and until a recent period
was kept in order. It has the luxury of glass win
dows, which no other building 1 have Keen has, ana
the floors are of coarse marble laid In squares.
There was no furniture in It, and those of
tne Tennessee party who took quarters mere
Uad to provide tnemselves with stretchers to
.-deep on and such other things as they
needed. This palace was offered by the govern
ment to the Commissioners for tuelr acconknodatiou
wiide liera; out tne oiler was decliued, because it
was thmignt sucu regal style would sound badly at
nome aud because tne Commissioners did not wish
to accept any lavor from the government.
