The extent OF undisputed Dominican
territory is 80 te'square miles, the por.
ton of which has been formerly in.
volved in dispute with lIayti being
abour 1000 square miles. The Com
missioners were not unmindf1l of the
various rumors which had been circu-
lated on divers occasions that conces-
sions or grants Of land were made to
officials Of the Government OF the Uni
ted States when the treaty. of annexa.
tion was negotiated in 1869 No pains
were spared 10 obtain the ex1ct truth on
this subject In addition to- an exam
inatiop of all grants from The Govern
ment of the Republic, tue Commission
further carried their researches to all
municipal grants by Ahetewn Of Sama
ma, where rumor bad located the sup
posed grants The officers of the mu
mic parity and the recondswere carefully
examined; inquiry was also made Of
the authorities of the city Of San Do

Commission can declare without hesita-
ton that there was no particle OF
evidence, or eelor of evidence, for these
charges Doniinicansg repeat theiriwil5

PAT AND THE PARsoN.-Patrick,
before he became joined in the bonds
of "holy wedlock'' with Bridget,
was in the service of Father M-Nul-
ty. One day that good priestexpect-
ed call from Protestant minister,
and wished for some excuse to- get
rid of him. So calling Patrick, he
proceedec to give him instructions.
Patrick, said he, if that minis
ter comes here to-day, I do not want
to see him
Yes, yer reverence.
Make some kind of an excuse,
Patrick, and send him away
"What shall tell himif becomes,
yer reverence
"Tell him l am not at home"
Would you have me tell a lie to
him, yer reverence p
No, no, Patrick; but get him
out some way-give him an evasive
answer
An evasive answer is it? I'll do
it. av course, yer reverence.
The matter thus arranged, Father
McNulty retired to his library, and
Patrick went abouthi duties. About
dusk in the afternoon the worthy
priest came out of his room and
found Patrick in unusually good spir-
its.
"Well, Patrick" said, he, "did
the minister call to-day ?"
Yes, sir-r-r.'
"And did you get rid of him2"

Did he ask if 7 was in ?"
