SummaryResumen

A letter received from Port au Platte reported that a Dominican war schooner arrived from the capital with news that St. Domingo city was in a state of revolution over a treaty with Old Spain. According to the report, the treaty's seventh article favored Spanish descendants becoming Spanish citizens, prompting thousands to register with the Spanish Consuls to hoist the Spanish flag again, while the President and his cabinet wished to resign, tribunals closed, and business was suspended. Additionally, the letter stated that the Spanish Consul was actively working to prevent the ratification of the American treaty and opposing the American consul.

Despachos llegados de Puerto Plata referían que una goleta armada arribó desde la capital participando que la ciudad de Santo Domingo se encontraba conmocionada a raíz de un tratado con España. Según el parte, el artículo séptimo del convenio favorecía que los descendientes españoles adoptasen la ciudadanía hispana, induciendo a millares de sujetos a matricularse ante el consulado peninsular para izar de nuevo el pabellón español, al tiempo que el presidente y su gabinete se disponían a renunciar, los juzgados cerraban y cesaba el giro mercantil. Añadía que el cónsul español maniobraba resueltamente para desbaratar la ratificación del tratado norteamericano, contrariando al cónsul de Estados Unidos.

LATE FROM ST. DOMINGO,

A letter, of what authority we know not, reported to

have been received by the schooner Marietta Smith, Capt.

Chase, from Port au Platte, on the 3d instant, says that

a few days ago a Dominican war schooner arrived from

St. Domingo city, the capital of the Dominican republic,

and her officers reported the city in a state of revolution,

in consequence of the treaty with Old Spain. The sev

enth article of the treaty favors all Spanish descendants

and allows them to become Spanish citizens, and they,

being the most numerous, wish to hoist the Spanish flag

again. Citizens, soldiers, and all are applying to the

Spanish Consuls for resisting. The day the schooner left

the city 5,000 or more had. registered their names, and

many more would sign.

This had caused a great move

ment in the city. All the tribunals had been closed, busi

ness was suspended, and the President and his cabinet

wished to resign. The Spanish Consul, the letter says, is

doing all he can to prevent the American treaty being

ratified, opposing the American consul in all his move

ments.—New York Com. Ado.

Hasty Conclusion.—An idea prevailed a few years ago

amoog the newspapers, when there were few thunder

storms, that the railroad tracks and telegraph wires drew

off the electricity silently from the clouds. This idea has

been thoroughly exploded in Boston and neighborhood
