SummaryResumen

The *New-York Tribune* reported that the besieged Dominican provisional government was unable to raise a $20,000 loan for city defense, leaving the capital vulnerable to insurgent assault and street fighting. With the gunboat *Newport* remaining as the only foreign warship in port, concerns grew over the safety of foreign residents. Meanwhile, insurgent leader Juan Isidro Jimenes scored a decisive victory at Moca against 500 government troops under General Ramón Cáceres, who was wounded, clearing the path for an advance on Santo Domingo.

El *New-York Tribune* informó que el asediado gobierno provisional dominicano fue incapaz de obtener un préstamo de 20.000 dólares para la defensa de la ciudad, dejando a la capital expuesta a asaltos insurgentes y combates callejeros.

Mientras tanto, el caudillo rebelde Juan Isidro Jimenes logró una victoria decisiva en Moca contra 500 soldados gubernamentales al mando del general Ramón Cáceres, quien resultó herido, despejando el camino para avanzar sobre Santo Domingo.
