by the Eaytiens and political intriguers.

These are incited to extraordinary activi

ty now by the fear of annexation. Baez,

chicl in the esteem of the people, has

been signally successful in his adminis

tration and has the best tit.. f any to

the chief mazistrary of the Hepublic.

For the lust two years the resources of

the C jverument hive not bsea adequate

to meet the expenses. Lupercn and

Cabral head the insurrections. Habral is

the most important, but neither has a

llag nor aa organized army. Cabral

only claims to be chief of a revolution.

Luperon is simp y a bandit stained with

crimes. His chief exploits are robberie".

Cabral has only a few hundred men, who

in an emergency press in all the men they

can lay hands on. The Commissioners

obtained evidence of Haytien assistance

to Cabral f rom many sources. Had the

revolutionists wi Ided only their own

force, they would long ago have been

suppressed. Tht ir importance is derived

from the. fact that behini them stands the

Haytien nation, which has never relented

in its aggressive policy, and at whose

head is a President elevated by a bloody

insurrection involving the murder of his

predecessor, but the local governments

have been greatly obstructed by in

ternal disturbances. The Spanish

occupation of 1861 was consummated

by fraud. All classes of people found

have thoroughly discussed annexation

and agreed it is tteir only hope. Pauper

ism, beggars and high crimes especially

are unknown among the people, though

the Spaniards will gamble. There is no

religious intolerance, nor dislike of labor
