SummaryResumen

The dispatch reports that the officials at Samana pray for annexation, and explains that Colonel Abreu, whom the commissioners had honoured as the chief man there, is only the special agent and military commander of the Dominican government, while the governor of this section is General Acosta. The commission, with its geologists, botanists, naturalists and correspondents, has been sending parties out to explore the country bordering the bay and up to the mouths of the Yuna River, and going ashore daily to talk with the people and examine their plantations.
