WASHINGTON, January G.

WASHINGTON, January 6.
The House committee on foreign relations
took test vote upon San Domingo, with two
members absent who recently were adverse to
measures looking toward annexation. Tne
vote stood upon the motion directing Banks to
report the Senate bill on Monday, ayes: Banks,
Orth, Myers; nays: Sheldon, OF New YORK,
Ambler. Swami and Wood. Absent, Wilkin-
son and Judd. The committee consists OF ten
members, of whom two are Democrats. NOT
wItbstandIng the adverse vote, Banks, as
matter of courtesy, will be allowed 10 report
the Senate bill to the House on Monday. The
indications are that the steamer Tennessee,
fitting out to carry the Presidents San Do
mlnso: commissioners, will remain at anchor.
The administration, however, Is still confident,
and expects the commissioners to return in
time for action this session.
The Spanish minister dlsaVows any Interest
on either side in the San Domingo question.
In Missouri political circles the election OF
General Frank Blair to the United States Sen
ate is deemed quite probable.
The Treasury Department has Issued orders
that the tariff be assessed according to the de-
cision of the Chicago court against the gov
ernment in malt case, where the collector
charged at consumption rates In Canada, which
included home excess duty. This decision
will seriously affect Imports from countries
where products are taxed for consumption,
but not for export, especially wine, tea and
coffee from England. There is much confu-
sion in regulations and dissatisfaction among
importers.
HOUSE.

Gordon and Davis passed. They order a court

WASHINGTON, Jan TO- 1871.
The West Point Cadet Troables.
Cadets Baird Barnes and Flickinger, the subjects
OF the troubles at West Point on New Years night,
have been permitted to retire from the Mil tary
Academy, ana the representatives Of the Congress
sion districts from which the last two were ap-
pointed have been invited by the war Department
to designate their successors. Cadet Baird being
one OF the ten annual appointments at large his de-
parure creates no vacancy. Cadet Barnes was ap-
pointed by Congressman Johnson, Of California, and
Cadet Fllcklnger by Congressman Peck, Of ohio.
The manner in which the first class at the
Academy asserted their ideas OF proper behavior on
the part OF the 'plebesn exctes considerable COM
rnent among the old army officers on duty In Wash
ington, and while the summary manner in which
the erring cadets were treated provokes the condem
nation Of those who have been educated to observe
"good order and military discipline" still they are
not disposed TO wink at the relaxation or the rules
Of the Academy, to which much OF the re-
cent lawiessness has been attributed. 1t is
hoped that before many months have passed
the lcaven OF INSTRUMENTATION will have
been entirely expelled from the classic grounds OF
the United States Military Academy. There Is ru-
NOR current here that certain factlous Congressm en-
will dispute the appropriation for the support Of
this Academy when the bill comes up for consldera-
uQn. - ,s.sf

Records in the Interior Departments.
The House Judiciary Committee to-day resumed
its Investigation OF the famous McGarrahan claim.
II is said there was slight breeze in the committee
between Judge Bingham and one or two Of the
members upon the question Of reopening the
case. Mr.. Kerr and Mr. Mercur were op-
posed to taking any further steps, where
upon Bingham threatened to carry the case
into the House, and state that portion OF
the committee was opposed to going into the
examination OF the alleged deficiency Of the public
records With this threat before them Kerr and Mer
cur thought 1t better to proceed with the examina-
ton. The point at Issue was whether o patent for
the land and mines In question had been issued to
McGarrahan and suppressed or destroyed In the In
terror Department before its delivery The evidence
heretofore adduced before the Committee TO prove
the execution Of the patent was first, an order
from President Lincoln, after hearing the argu-
ments Of counsel that the patent should issue;
second, in oplnion and decision Of Caleb B.

Political History-Wars with Spain

The passage by Congress OF the Senate resolution
authorizing the appointment OF commissioners to
visit st. Domingo and report on the condition and
resources OF that country makes it almost certain
that President Grants scheme of anneAtng the re-
public to the United States will finally triumph. We
therefore publish below sketch of the history and
resources OF the coming new territory.
THE ISLAND OF ST. DOMINGO
ST. Domingo comprises over one-hall OF the island
which bears Its name, but which is frequently
spoken Of as the Island OF Hayu. The precise ex-
tent OF her territory has never been settled the
Haytlens have thus for disallowed her claims
for possession OF the limits agreed upon be.
tween France and Spain by the Treaty OF
1777. II the claim was allowed It would give her
some $4,000 square miles. and this question will
doubtless have to be satisfactorily settled between
the United States and Hayti. At present the
Dominican republic controls about 1900 square
miles. divided into five departments, which are sub.
divided into communes. The Departments are
called ST. Domingo (Which contains the Capitol,
Azua de ComposteIa, Ssybo, Santiago de los Cabal.
leros and Conccpci de Ia Vega the whole contain
ing population estimated at l36, coo souls, or about
eighty persons to the square mile.
- 'sN THE roWNs XHb CITIES.
1t is hardly necessary to say that st. Domingo is
known as the Great Antilles aud lies directly be-
tween Cuba and Porto Rico. The Dominican repub.
lie comprises the eastern portion and being sparsely
settled contains comparatively Few towns, and these
with only small populations ST. Domingo, the cap-
ital is situated ON the south side u the island and
has about ten thousand inhabitants. 1t Is the prln.
cipal seaport, although Porto Plata and samana on
the same sde and Santiago de los Caballeros on the
north are splendid ports and II the republic was IN
q prosperous condition wonld carry on an exten.
sive trade. santiago Is famous as having been
founded by the hidagos who went out with Columbus
aud who were probably the most dssolute set Of
men that ever came to the New World. Another
town In the Interior, called Azua. is memorable as
the pla;e where Hernandes Cortes lived, pursuing
the business OF public notary. The other towns
worthy or mention are Conception de Ia Vega near
where Columbus built Fort Conception, and Santo
Cerro, where he erected cross. The original town
Of La Vega was buried by an earthquake, In 1854,
and was subsequently rebuilt IN its present situa.
tion. OF the other centres Of population, HIguey,
Seybo, san Juan do maguana, Neypo, Bani, San
Crstoval, Bayaguana, Monte Plata, Cotuy anu Boya,
are the only ones deserving notice. Boya was the
place OF refuge Of Heurquo, the last OF the Hay

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 1871.
AS soon RS the journal was read in the House to-
day the debate on the ST. Domingo resolution was
resumed 1t opened quite dull even stupid, and the
prospect was that It would pass OF with as little
interest as an appropriation bill. The first thing in
the way OF
