san Domingo Sacrlflced for Radical
Harmony.
New York, March 2S.-The Tribune 3
Washington special says rumor is current
that the administration has decided to
drop the San Domingo business for the
sake of harmonizing the Republican party.
To afford reason for this change of
policy, the report of the commissioners
viii conclude with Recommendation that
nothing further be done toward annexa-
ton at present, on account of civil war
existing in large portion of the Island.
This report can be traced TO no trust
worthy source, and has probably been oc-
casioned by the statement of Senator
Morton in his speech, that if the report is
adverse to annexation, he would be in
favor of abandoning the project. This
declaration was thought to have some i'm
portant significance, IN view of the fact
that correspondents with the expedition
had announced that the commissioners
were unanimously in favor of annexation.
Annexation Means War with
HaytL.
Another Washington correspondent
telegraphs that IL seems to be the general
opinion of the Commissioners that an
nexation cannot take place without in
volving the United States in war with
Hayti. BaeZ admitted to the Commits
sioners that one thousand square miles of
territory belonging to the Dominican re-
public, and lying contiguous to Hayt, are
under control of Csbral and his followers.
1t is stated that Bsez did not make any
effort to allow the Commissioners to meet
Cabral, but on the contrary assured them
that be could not afford them any protec-
ton if they visited the part of the island
that CabTal controlled. All speak in the
highest terms of the island, its climate
and productions, but appear to entertain
a very poor opinion of the people, who
are described as indolent, superstitiOus
and exceedingly undesirable in their
present condition as an addition to the
population of the United States.
BEN Wade quite Sick.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 28.-The
Santo Domingo Commissioners, Wade,
White and Howe, arrived here last night,

pleurisy, and was unable TO sit up yester |
day, and upon arrival was conveyed to |
the residence of Vice-President Colfax. |

Gent cause for great anxiety On the part
of friends, who fear that Wade's age and |
full habits may prove serious obstacles to
his recovery.
All the points have been decided, and
Will be submitted to the President within |
a day or two. The report is nov being
written out from the shorthand notes.
Disgusting DislOyaIty.
When the Santo Doming> party were
about to sit down to dinner yesterday, in |
the steamer Gsorglana, on the way from

of the boat refused to allow Fred Doug
