SummaryResumen

Writing from San Domingo on September 15, the Herald's correspondent reports that the assassination of President Heureaux removed the hand that had for eighteen years preserved a bloody peace, and that Vice President Figuereo's government weakened as he hesitated to dismiss the Heureaux ministry. Late in August a revolutionary proclamation was issued at San Francisco de Macoris in the interest of Jimenez, telegraph communication was cut, and the correspondent reports that Macoris, Moca and La Vega went over to a revolution headed by Horacio Vasquez, Ramon Caceres and Samuel Mayo.

Escribiendo desde Santo Domingo el 15 de septiembre, el corresponsal del Herald informa que el asesinato del presidente Heureaux quitó la mano que durante dieciocho años había mantenido una paz sangrienta, y que el gobierno del vicepresidente Figuereo se debilitó al vacilar en destituir al ministerio de Heureaux. A fines de agosto se emitió una proclama revolucionaria en San Francisco de Macorís en favor de Jiménez, se cortó la comunicación telegráfica, y el corresponsal informa que Macorís, Moca y La Vega se pasaron a una revolución encabezada por Horacio Vásquez, Ramón Cáceres y Samuel Mayo.

the capital and plunged it into ignorance

as to what was transpiring in the Island.

Vain attempts were made by Hie French

Cable Company to reopen communication.

Within two days, however, the Governor

of Concepclon de la Vega, who had es

caped with a small retinue, arrived on

horseback and brought the news that set

everybody by the ears. Macoris had been

the cradle of the revolution, and even the

government troops there had gone over

without firing a shot. Moca, where Heu

reaux was assassinated, quickly fell in

line, and Le Vega was preparing to fol

would be a safer residence.

The government promptly tried to sup

press this news. The newspapers were

forbidden to print It, and any person dis
