:, SAN DOMINGO.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The senate,
by a special assignment, had agreed to
proceed to-day, at l o'clock, to the con-
sideratien of the San Domingo treaty,
and when that hour arrived motion
was made to 60 into executive session,
which was lost, by % to 30. This is
considered a pretty fair test vote, and
shows that, so far from the treaty being
strong enough to secure ratification by
two-thirds vote, which is required, it
cannot command majority of the sem
ate. The publicity of the protocol for
the annexation, wherein the president
promised to use his influence to make it
popular in congress, has damaged the
prospects of the treaty very considerably
among senators and members. There is
good deal of inquiry, in administrative
quarters, to learn how this protocol,
which, according to its terms, was to be
kept an inviolable secret for all time,
leaked out in the official investigation.
The original is still on file in the state
department.
