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.

SummaryResumen
Baez and his party are reported to be hard-pressed by Santana, leading to official steps to procure peace through the mediation of English, French, and Spanish consuls. Santana has rejected their initial terms and insists that Baez submit a written proposition for the capitulation of San Domingo. Meanwhile, Santana's forces have occupied the peninsula of Samana, and the war-brig *Nineteenth of March*, carrying munitions, provisions, and documents implicating Baez in the misuse of public funds, has surrendered to the Provisional Government.

Santana desechó las condiciones preliminares y exigió que Báez presentase una propuesta formal y por escrito para la capitulación de Santo Domingo. En el ínterin, las tropas de Santana ocuparon la península de Samaná, y el bergantín artillado *19 de Marzo*, con cargamento de pertrechos, bastimentos y pliegos que comprometían a Báez en la malversación de fondos públicos, se rindió al Gobierno Provisional.
SummaryResumen
A report from Cadiz dated the 6th states that exiled Dominican generals—including Cabral, Sanchez, Valentine, and Baez—joined disaffected populations to lead a serious insurrection against the Spanish occupation, raising the Dominican flag in La motta, Ney be, Cerca, and San Juan. The insurgents declared that if they could not remain independent, they would prefer incorporation with the Haytien Republic, while the Haytien Government maintained an attitude of observation with only a few prudent frontier troops stationed near the border.
Un informe desde Cádiz fechado el día 6 señala que generales dominicanos desterrados —entre ellos Cabral, Sánchez, Valentine y Báez— se unieron a sectores descontentos de la población para encabezar una seria insurrección contra la dominación española, enarbolando la bandera dominicana en La motta, Ney be, Cerca y San Juan. Los insurrectos manifestaron que, de no poder preservar la independencia, preferirían la unión con la República de Haití, en tanto que el gobierno haitiano guardaba una postura de observación destacando únicamente escasas y prudentes tropas de frontera en las inmediaciones del límite limítrofe.
SummaryResumen
The *Daily National Intelligencer* reported on November 13, 1865, that Don Pedro Valverde, a member of the "Yankee party," supports opening Dominican gold mines, mahogany forests, and pearl fisheries to immigrants under a liberal colonization law, and proposes establishing free and neutral ports jointly with President Geffrard of Hayti. In contrast, the newspaper noted that General Cabral has intimate relations with European consuls while the United States is unrepresented, and suggested that Cabral might pursue a close union with Hayti that could threaten the white race in the eastern part of the island. Additionally, the article stated that if Valverde is elected, the Dominican Republic would respond to Spanish demands for the repayment of conquest costs with a counter-demand.
El *Daily National Intelligencer* dio cuenta el 13 de noviembre de 1865 de que don Pedro Valverde, miembro del «partido pro-yanqui», promovía abrir las minas auríferas dominicanas, los bosques de caoba y los placeres de perlas a colonos extranjeros al amparo de una liberal ley de inmigración, proponiendo asimismo la habilitación de puertos francos y neutrales en concierto con el presidente Geffrard de Haití. Por el contrario, el rotativo señalaba que el general Cabral cultivaba estrechos nexos con los cónsules europeos mientras los Estados Unidos carecían de legación oficial, insinuando que Cabral podría propiciar una federación estrecha con Haití susceptible de comprometer a la población blanca de la parte oriental. El reporte concluía que, de resultar elegido Valverde, la República Dominicana ripostaría a las exigencias españolas de indemnización bélica con una enérgica contrademanda.
