SummaryResumen

The *Passaic City Record* reported that while official tranquillity prevailed in Santo Domingo following President Heureaux's assassination, trade remained depressed due to public reluctance to withdraw paper currency. In addition, a devastating hurricane caused severe flooding and property destruction across San Pedro de Macoris, Samana, and Puerto Plata. In Cuba, American customs officers at Baracoa intercepted an arms shipment of 143 rifles and 18,000 rounds of ammunition bound for Dominican rebels.

Además, un devastador huracán provocó graves inundaciones y destrucción material en San Pedro de Macorís, Samaná y Puerto Plata. En Cuba, agentes de aduanas estadounidenses en Baracoa interceptaron un cargamento clandestino de armas de 143 fusiles y 18.000 proyectiles con destino a los rebeldes dominicanos.

Aitbdugh the rate for drafts is falling,

confidence, business continues dull, and

imports are limited. The financial situa
