SummaryResumen

A correspondent who travelled extensively through the island reports that in Santiago, Puerto Plata, La Vega, Macoris and Moca the universal sentiment was in favour of annexation, with people heartily tired of war and the better class of merchants and property holders enthusiastically endorsing President Baez and his policy. He reports that the election at Azua resulted in an unprecedented majority in favour of annexation, and denies the charge that grants had been given to those sent to negotiate the treaty. A further dispatch adds that news of the appointment of a United States commission was generally favourably received at St. Domingo.

Un corresponsal que viajó extensamente por la isla informa que en Santiago, Puerto Plata, La Vega, Macorís y Moca el sentimiento universal era favorable a la anexión, con un pueblo muy cansado de la guerra y la clase alta de comerciantes y propietarios apoyando con entusiasmo al presidente Báez y su política. Informa que la elección en Azua dio una mayoría sin precedentes a favor de la anexión, y niega la acusación de que se hubieran dado concesiones a los enviados a negociar el tratado. Otro despacho añade que la noticia del nombramiento de una comisión de los Estados Unidos fue recibida en general favorablemente en Santo Domingo.

universal sentiment expressed was In favor of the

war, and look to annexation as the sound way to

put a stop to such petty factions as that now held

by Cabrai. All the better class of merchants and

and their voice waa re-echoed all over the island.

As to the charge that the paruesseut here to nego

tiate the treaty were interested In plantations, and

that grants had been given them, it Is like tho

balance of the Senator's statements? simply untrue.

Your correspondent lias had access to the records in

the Department or the Interior, aud knows that no

grant ever has been given or offered to further

this or any similar movement. He has, further,

in the official handwriting or Minister Delmont?, a

specific denial of the charges made. This lact will

be shown conclusively to the new Commission

coming on its arrival. It is to be hoped In the

future those opposing the proposed annexation will

deal in facts, and not risk their reputations, as the

Hon. Senator from Massachusetts has done, by

making asserttons unbecoming and nnmanly.
