SummaryResumen
A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser who accompanied the commissioners writes that its last days at the capital were spent ascertaining the full extent of San Domingo's debt and the concessions made to private individuals, and that although the authorities insisted a million and a half dollars would discharge the entire public debt, a list of pending claims prepared after persistent effort made the debt much larger. He reports that under the terms Baez was willing to offer, the public lands not already disposed of were to be held to settle the claims, and that Baez had staged the show of support for annexation, with societies coming at his request and men who declared for the project in public giving strong reasons against it in private.

Informa que, según los términos que Báez estaba dispuesto a ofrecer, las tierras públicas aún no enajenadas quedarían afectas al pago de las reclamaciones, y que Báez había montado la demostración de apoyo a la anexión, con sociedades que acudían a petición suya y hombres que en público se declaraban por el proyecto y en privado daban fuertes razones en contra.

A coirevpondent of the Boston Advertiser,
who accompanied the Commissioners toSsu
Domingo, writes an interesting latter from
Port-ftn-rrlooe, under date of March 7, and
big account of the condition of affairs in San
Dominco is by no means flattering. He says:
