o small loan for President Baez, now Of some
months standing, gives him that position. and that

its Indebtedness apart from his instructions upon
the subject 1t is not true, stated, that advices
have been received from the highest oficia sources
that President Baez and the Dominican people would
accept unconditional annexation. No such PROPOSE
ton has been made. The mission Of Mr.. Angenard

rectly connected with any Of the speculative jobs

made to associate 1t. The Envoy says the interior

ranted and as damaging as it Is manifestly indeli-
cate and improper.
