British Institution. His fame being established, he
ased to paint portraits in 1888, and de-
voted his time thereafter to subjects of
more ambitious character. In 1885 lie elected

ST. DOMINGO.
The Feeling Regarding Aune xation In DomI-
Mica Cnbrai OutIawed by President Baez.

The FeeS y n Dsm
ST. DOMINGO CITY, April 1S.--We are anxi-
ously awaiting news from the United States of
the result of the annexation question in Con-
gress. The delay is creating much uneasiness
here, and many fear that Congress will not act
upon the question during the present session. If
they do not it is to be feared that the long
strained nerves of our people, who so much
desire and have been so long promised anneXa-
ton, will react, and in their disappointment
they will oppose annexation rs strongly as
they have worked for it-a proceeding which
would make Baezs position an extremely crti-
cal one, and possibly result in his complete
overthrow and the placing of Luperon or Cabral
at the head of affairs-an effect which it is earn
estly to be hoped may never ensue for it would
cause the total destruction of all business and
trade, and all the interests of the island would
be brought to stand still, giving it shock from
which it could not recover for years.
BaeZ has issued decree outlawing Cabral,
stating as the reason that Cabral is at Polo at
the head of insurgents that he did interfere
with Salnave and his ministers and women and
children, taking them in the Dominican terri
tory, inhumanly butchering some of them, and
finally selling Salnave to his enemies to be shot,
for the sum of $4,000, being an inhuman crime
against the laws of the country and the consti-
tuition, and an act of war against nation with
which this country is at peace. The decree is
Article i. Senior Jose Maria Cabral, formerly
General OF the Armies of the Dominican Republic,
out the projects Of Hay against this republic ia by
this manifesto declared an outlaw, and any person
is authorized to seize and slay him.
The second article commands the executives OF
the different districts to publish and carry out article
first.
Given at ST. Domingo, April O. 1870, in the twenty
ninth year of the independence, seventh OF the
restoration and third OF the regeneration.
B. BARz, President.
THE WAR NEWS.
Cabral had marched from San Juan on his
way to Azua, with 1900 men, and General
Uganda, with 600 more, had left Neyba to join
him in this movement. An engagement took
place with the Government troops at Bahama,
in which Cabral was successful and took mum
Der of prisoners. He pursued the routed troops
of Baez until they reached Llaya, village three
miles from Azua, where they were reinforced
and made stand; but Cabral again defeated
them with great slaughter putting them to COM
plete rout Cabral was at last accounts await
ing the arrival of Oganda when he will make
an attack on AZua. Baez, on hearing this,
despatched battalion of troops, all natives of
Azua, which is also his birthplace and expresses
confidence that they, with the troops already
there, will successfully defend the city. Azua
is the most important town of the South, and is
the key of the country. There are only two
towns between Azua and st. Domingo City
namely, Bani and st. Christoba

statement, which had appeared in the press of
this city, also needs confirmation, viz, that upon
the departure of Governor Cadena and Martinez
from Iacatecas, they took the road for Fres-
Milo, and that in the valley of Valparaiso a
revolt occurred of all the forces against CadeHa,
Martinez taking everything away from Cadena,
including the $4,000 which he had from his last
sack of Zacatecas; that the troops endeavored to
kill Cadena, but Martinez prevented IL, and gave
him personal guard of twenty-five men to ac-
company him, who went to PiDos Cantes, be-
yond Teul, and from thence entered the Sierra
of Tialtenango. The same report says the people
of the neighboring villages went in pursuit
for his capture.
The news is confirmed of the execution of
Noriega and one Jesus Santa Anna-no relative
of the general however. A conducta leaves
here Immediately for Vera Cruz; only four DAYS
notice has been given to merchants, in order
that the bandits night not have time to make
their combinations for the capture of the silver.
General Escobedo, who has been here several
days, is going through course OF dining and

The Memphis Appeal of April 81 says
Some days since the police of this city ar
rested two men giving fictitious names, on
charge of completely in q murder rumored to
have been committed at or near Cottonwood
Point, on the river, some 120 miles above town.
Nothing appearing against them, they were
released after few hours detention. The fol-
lowing particulars of the affair of which the
rumor had only reached us, came to our possess
sion yesterday, which show that q most extra
ordinary and bloody affair really did occur at
the aforesaid point, and the murderers, If such
they be, did come ashore at Memphis, and were
probably the parties arrested by the police.
About week ago a lumber-raft belonging to
Colonel Mathews, of Vicksburg left Cairo. 1t
was in command or charge of man named
Mcintyre. His crew were i've in number, and
consisted of Michael Mcclure, his partner,
Dennis Dowd, Wilson, Ferguson, and negro,
name unknown.
Mcclure and his partner had some hard words
Immediately after leaving Cairo, and when the
raft was some four or five miles above Cotton
wood point, they agreed to go Oh shore and
fight the matter out, asking Wilson to row them
ashore for that purpose. After getting on shore,
however, they concluded not to fight, and both
wanted to go for Wilson. He not having any
cause of quarrel begged off and roWed the
troublesome couple back to the raft
That evening McGAirc and Dowd became
very boisterous, but no one thought them dan
gerous, and at o'clock Captain Mcintyre,
Wilson, and Ferguson retired TO bed, leaving
the negro and them on deck. They had scarcely
composed themselves to rest when they saw
Mcclure and Dowd come in the former bearing
an ak and the latter long knife. Ferguson
as soon as he saw them, rolled back in his bunk
against the weather-b boarding, which gave way,
and he fell outside. The two armed desperadoes
Immediately made for Wilson and Mcintyre, but
as luck would have it Mcclure stumbled before
reaching the bunk of the latter and dropped his
ak. Before he could recover it the intended
victim sprang up, and seiZing it, buried 1t in
McGuires own skull.
Seeing Dennis about to use his knife on Will
son, Mcintyre drew the axe from the skull OF
Mcclure and struck him down, killing him
almost instantly.
The bodies of the would-be murderers were
unceremoniously thrown into the river, aud
when the raft arrived at this city Mcintyre and
Wilson, who, though they felt perfectly justi
fable in what they had done, dreading the
