,h., tho Administration by which he was
.nro;n,cd was not priyy to any private
snacul.,;on in which he may have been en-
oaoed either annexational or commercial.
, Mr.. Green is very mealy Inouthed in
saving that It IS msmuafed that while at
santo Domingo in his capacity as United
States Agent, he made propositions to the
Dominicau Government looking taWas4 the
colonization of a large body Of Americans
in that part OF the island and H. utmate'
annexation to the United Sutcs. We did
not mean to insinuate it, but % ca1rge il
fully upon him. And having given place to
his denial, he must allow Us TO state one or
two things which 90 TO diminish It's force
essentially.
Some time in the Spring Of 1919, Presi-
dent Baez, Of the Dominican Republic,
wrote 30 the French Government, urging
France to annex that Republic, or take it
under her protection. We have not the
whole Of the letter; an extract from il Is
given in the Rccue dcs ITEM Minute, for
May /, 1851 In this letter Bacz says:
s. | have IN my hands the propositions Of an
American Charge d'Affaires sent to Santo
Domingo with full powers but as long 4
CLEAN Of hope remains to us, we will wait
with resignation That is 10 say, that in
no case would they consent to propositions
ofAmcrican colonization or anncXatloa-ior
they understood the one to mean the other,
either from the private communications Of
the Charge, or from his reputation, or rather
that OF his father, in the anncXition line.
The written proposals to whirh Mr. Green
above refers, and which he is, perhaps, not
aware that we published in full, the other
day. were dated Aug %, 1850; and yet the
Re,ue-all Of whose information, it should
be understood is derived from documents in
the archives of the Dominican and French
Observation-Disclosures that these proposals
contained nothing beyond the solicitations
with which, for more Than Il Year prerio'm,
the Dominicans had been be,egcd Be
siegcd by whom Evidently by Mr.. Green
himself or his partner in this business, Don
Felipe Alfou, of Santo Domingo.
But there is another thing which makes
MS suspect that the charge dAfaires' IS
trying to crcumlocutc the question. While
he was in the Island the Satanic Press in
this City acted as sort Of official organ for
his "morcy making object" as well as for
his more pblanthropic purposes. CIhe
same paper is yet his organ, If we may
Judge from the fact that the above letter to
US was furnished it for publication before 1t
had appeared in The Tri5me) On the
POD of April, 1880, that journal published
the following in a leading article
