Document Extraordinary.
We have twice within the current month received in
teigence of startling character from the Dominican
Republic.
Our information is most reliable, and to the effect that
France and England have made secret arrangement
with Faustn for the annexation or conquest OF the
Dominican Republic by the negroes of Hayt.
This is the only independent and American State in
the whole circle of the West India Islands, all the rest
bepg negro or European and it has been for time
announced by the French press that the Suppression
OF THIS TROUBLESOME LITTLE WHITE REPUBLIC WAS Ne
CEssARY FOB THE PERMANENT SUPREMACY OF EUROPEAN
INTERESTS IN THE ANTILLES"
The sublugation of the Domincans is decided to be
the only means of excluding American emigration and
influence from the Island and, to settle this point at
once and forever, they renew the prOoeol@ 1904
on which the American treaty was set aside, and the
mulatto Baez elevated to power
Santana resisted this dicatoria prOOcO OF 1884 to
the bitter end but France and England used their
navy and diplomats to subvert him, and put their tool
(Baez in his place just they using the
means in Venezuela to protect MOnagas.
In 1854 treaty was made with the Dominican Re-
public conceding the of steam depot to the United
States and as is we'll known, the Allies sent down
squadron and ordered this treaty to be cancelled The
Dominican cabinet appealed to this Government to pro-
tect its own treaty but Mr. Marcy stood too much in
awe of England to contradict her WILL and Santana
therefore sacrificed to the negroes On his fall, the
Secret Protocol of 854 accepted by Baez, end
became the rule of the Dominican policy until Santana
after heroic struggle OF near Two has recovered
the rens of power.
The negro party backed by the secret agents of France
and England, wish to enforce the protocol Of 1854
and threaten the subugaton Of the Republic the cost
of refusal.
The following is an authentic COPY of this extraordin
ary document, and it is difficult to imagine
prehensive attack the Monroe doctrine. 1t not only
insists AfricOEuropean protectOrate coasts,
but it despoticaly nterdcts the island to people and
enterprise.

rect reference to the American treaty which the allied
heet-hen in front of the Dominican capital-had come
expressly to cancel and it provides against the future
admission OF American depots factories and emgrants
armed or unarmed-with insulting precision.
Whether this prohibition will be submitted to by this
cabinet patiently by the last, remains to be
but, up to this moment, the following articles
the rule of policy, not only in St. Domingo, but in all the
Spanish American States
French, English and HaytIen Protocol, 1854.
