ST. DOMINGO CRY, April Is, 1870
We are anxiously awaiting news from the United
States OF the result Of the annexation question in
Congress. The long delay is creating much uneasi-
ness here, ana many fear that Congress win not act
upon the question during the present session. II
they do not is to be feared that the long strained
nerves Of our people, who much desire
and have been long promised annexa-
tton VIII react and IN their disappointment
they viii oppose annexation as strongly as
they have worked for it-a proceeding which would
make Baez's position an extremely critical one, and
possibly result In his complete overthrow and the
placing Of Luperon Cabral at the head OF affairs
an effect which 1t Is earnestly 10 be hoped may
ensue; for II would the total destruction of all
business and trade and a the interests OF the island
would be brought TO standsti, giving 1t q shock
from which 1t could not recover for years.
Baez has issued decree outawing Cabral stating
the reason that Cabral Is at Polo at the head OF
Insurgents; that he did interfere with Sanave and
his ministers and women and children, taking them
In the Dominican territory, inhumany butchering
Of them, and finally seiing Salnave to his ene-
mics to be shot, for the sum or $780, being in
human crime against the laws OF the country and the
constitution and an act Of war against nation with
which this country Is at peace The decree is rs fol-

pete r0ut- Cabral was at last accounts awaiting

ST DOMINGO April 49, 1870
The arrival OF the United States steamer Severn
tnagship) with Vice Admiral Poor, gave additional
interest to the question OF annexation and, it being
the all absorbing question here, all other business is
held In allegiance to its consummation Business until
the arrival Of the American men-of-war Nan
tucket, Swatara, Yantic Severn and Bibb, was
at a stand still The presence on shore OF scores Of
Officers and Americans all flush with American gold,
gave an impetus to trade which Is but foretase OF
what all may anticipate IL annexation is a fixed fact.
The native Incidence of the people, coupled with the
constant state Of revolution the country has been
subjected to for years, has reduced it to state of
poverty, 80 much that not one farm in one
thousand is worked In state of repair.
To an American 1t seems strange that country pos
sessing as does this, all the immense resources and
natural advantages incident to wealth, and which
now presents the evidences Of positive greatness
should be so miserably poor. During my perigrina
bly, impressed with the magnificent opening
which Is here presented to American energy
and Yankee enterprise. In agricultural resources

have seen that with few Colorado practical miners
will prove far richer in the precious metals than
New Mexico or Arizona. As to mines OF coal and
copper 1t already proven TO the world that they
are numerous and inexhaustble
When all these advantages are taken into consider
alton, coupled with the fact that the climate, espe
cially In the interior, is the finest In the world, We
who are domlclled here re- think Dominica would DE be-
pray for annexation. During the past thirty
days We have had two attempts at revolution
which amounted to the respectabity Of an ordinary
mob in America. The truth IT, all the better class
tired OF such work. and lock 10 the United States
TO put stop to it, as it is only done TO place in power
few men who would sacrifice the country and its
people TO further their own aggrandzement.
The prompt manner In which our Consul here,
Major Raymond II. Perry, moved in the matter OF
Mr.. Hatch, American citizen, imprisoned at
Azua proves tbatin ST. Domingo, atleast, Americans
OF their rights Mr.. Hatch had been en-
gagged for several years In merchandising at Bara0ne
near the Raytien line. Having opposed the Baez
movement, he was charged with being engaged In an
expedition to upset him after he had been placed In
power. Having been captured he was tried and SEN
fenced to be shot. Last October his sentence was
commuted 10 banshment. But fearing he might
mslign the Dominican government ans.,i,,, and IN,
Baez refused to let him go from the island.
Alter keeping him in prison at Azua from October to
sui Perry when he with his characteristic vim went
90 work. The result letters more to the point
than palatable passed. and In three days the Domni-
can man-Of-war brought Hatch here, when
another attempt to deJain him was made.
But no such child's play was allowed. Major
Perry took Hatch to his house, placed him once more
under his native nag, and next day sent him home
on the United States man-ofwar Yantic. The course
pursued by Consul Perry In this and other or
ferent character entitle him to the respect graft
tude and confidence Of the government.
