-ANOTHEI PROTEST or poHlNlCANs AGAINST
THE BAEI TREATIES.
Adocnment protesting against the ilegaty of the
alienation oi Dominican territory has found sgnerS
~ Curacao. -. Thomas VeneZuea, Turk slsEnd, and
those parts of The Dominican Republic which are
IN the hands @ the revolutionary party. The Domin-
icaus who have been expelled from the country and
the partizans of Cabral and Lupcrol have affixed
th,r signatures tp the paper which sets forth the
following statements:
The Dominican Constitution prohibits positively
eh, ccssiou or sale Of any part whatever OF the
dominican Republic.
q That no treaty Of this kind can be made legally
auess the people of san Domingo shall have first
freely oppressed their opinion. IN this regard matter
which came; now be done because OF the tyranny
which prevails.
g. That President Baez employs power Gor 10 other
object than that by f0Iifying himself through pub
lie opinion he may derive some personal 1eneft
from the agitation caused by the proposition of the
former administration 10 part with this territory.
( That false 10 his promises and 10 his OATH said
President Baez. with the sole object of acquiring
wealth. has lent himself by turns to Spain, to
France to England, and has at last entered upon
terms with tbe Cabinet at Washington, which is
ignorant of the affairs Of our country.
D. That President Bael having received aid from
The Government OF the United States has alone, for
that reason. been able to keep himself in power.
The intervention Of the Americans, it may be said,
explains the reason why the Constitutional party
has suffered the loss of the steamer TELEGRAPH, which
fact presented the triumph of the revolution. so
the same cause is to be attributed the bdnishmc OF
several hundred families 10y Baez. Their only srime
was that they thought otherwise than the President
A. a consequence Of Intervention there are more than
@O prisoners in Tie ails some Of whom are dying OF
hunger, and others being destroyed by reason OF
terrible sutcIiups. Most Of them are loaded with
Jrons, which wound and tear their flesh. Moreover,
s}ael is engaged u shooting large number Of friends
Of the Constitution because they opposed to the
projects of am uuiathiul Executive. Sustained by
The Government at Washington, which has RENTED
him arms and sent a steamer TO cruise IN Dominican
waters for biz aid and support u case Of emergency
Baez has thus been kept in power against the will OF
the people Hence great misfortuncs have fallen
upon the Republic, especially upon that party which
finds in the Constitution grounds upon which its
course can be sustHnCd-a party resolved TO perish
along with that instrument
