ANNEXATION IN SAN DOMINGO.

THE UNPOPULARITY OF BAEZ-HIS ATTITUDE
TOWARD THE HAYTIANs - TIE CLERGY
OPPOSED TO HIM HIS NEGOTIATIONS -
ANOTHER GENERAL PRONOUNCED.
SAN DOMINGO, Jan. 13.-President Bacz, seeing
that his troops doserting him and going over to
the standard of Cabral has announced in fattering
terms TO his employees, both civil and military,
that they viii continue to hold their present posi-
tODs and draw large salaries from the United States
as soon as the annexation project shall have been
consummated To Baez it is perhaps matter of in-
difference whether he leaves his country under a
load of compromises, or whether the United States
shall so complcate their bargain with him that they
Will be obliged at last 10 retire discreditaby from
San Domingo, endeavOr TO subjugate the restless
Domuicans. But Baez will know how to profit by
the dislike which his cOuntTymen feel toward
foreign domination. Since the fall OF Salnave
lvlo cannot hereafter demand of Baez the
$4,000 he lent him TO oppose the cessiOn of Samana
at former day) Baez has caused the circulation of
the report that the revolutonists under the com
mand Of Cabral and Pimentel are Cacos from Hayti.
He urges that all Domncans should rise up against
this Haytian invasion, ignoring the fact that Hay
tan soldiers led by a Haytan general entered the
capital with him as part of his own army. Does he
not remember Gen. BaTTiere, whose men marched
Into tho city of Domingo shouting Down with
Cabral-away with the OjOs- AzaleS J" (blue-eyes
meaning Yankecs)
1t has been said that the Dominican clergy are in
favor Of Bacz. This is not true. The Vicar is for
egner, while among the exiles hgure the most ven
trable priests, as for example, Father f. A. Merino
ile most talented man, perhaps in the Republic
lie is the Archbishop elect Other reverend exies
are noteworthy Father Gutierrez a man 20 years of
AGE, is distinguished in the province Of Seybo as
the father Of the poor" Father Fgari, aged 60
years an American citizen, has his house at Hgney
where il is called - the house of charity" Father
huelh. the cur6 of Santiago de los Caballeros ;
Father Richardo, the cure of the Cathedral Church
SantO Domingo City; Father Moya, cure Of La
Vega, who died in banishment. have been always
opposed 10 Baez. Receiving support from the
natives toward carrying ont his projects Bacz looked
abroad for encouragement. OF all the clergy only
rather BOugement sustained him, and he is a Bel

In the City Of San Domingo, several persons
were forced 10 lend the President support These
