OF a very pleasing soprano voice, while Miss

The CONSERVATORY CoNcERT.-From the
appearance Of tue board at Halves & Cragin's
store we should say that there was every rea-
son TO believe that City Hall would be crowded
tonight, and We trust that such will be the
case aud that every one of our citizens, who
has the interest of music at heart, will not fail
to attend. There will be large delegations
present from the neighboring cities, excellent
arrar gements have been made by the manager
with the railroads, and the artists that take
part are guarantee of the high order of the
entertainment, while the selections on the pro-
gramme are both popular and elevating. Pc
tersiIea is considered by the "Metronone'
new musical review Of Boston-"the best ex-
ponent of the art Of piano-playing in that city,"
which is tremendous praise when there are
such artists in the same city as Perabo, Lang,
Leophard, Dresel, aud others. The same jour
nal says of the Temple quartette. that they
have made fine reputation by their matchless
style of singing and such is the charm of
iheir performances that their services are in
constant demand Mr.. Allen, the English
yiolinist, is called very brilliant and sympa-

BELLIaEkENT INTERVENTION IN DOMINICA
In Dominica there was constant promise of
protection and constant appeal for it with
recurring incidents, showing the dependence Of
the usnrper upon our naval force. Aud here
proceed according to the order of dates.
Rear Admiral Lee, of the flag ship Severn,
reports from the city Of st. Domingo, under
date Of March IL, 1870, that the President,
meaning the usurper Baez, informed him that
he was obliged to keep a considerable force
against Cabral and Luperon, aud then added,
"If annexation was delayed it would b. abso-
luttlv necessary for him to call upon the United
States government for pecunary aid. Ibid,
p. II Not content with our guns, the usurper
wanted our dollars. Next, Commander Bruce,
under date Of March q, 1870, reports from
Puerto Plata, that 'the authorities think that
the excitement has not yet passed, and that
the presence of man-ot-war here for time
will have good moral effect" II. IS Tue
man-ot-war becomes a preacher: The same
officer, under date of March "a, 1870 reports
| speech Of his Own al Puerto Plata, that Rear
Admiral Poor "bad a heavy squadron about the
Island and would drive bin lLuperonJ OUT
probably in doing so destroying the town and
all the property in it - P. 49, And this was
followed, Marcb26. 1870. by formal notice from
Commander Bruce the British vice consul
at Puerto Plata, in these terms:
Gas to nv objects here, one of them certainly
| IS, aud desire to accomplish It as plainly as
possible, to ufoim the foreign RESIDENTS here
that if any such league or party Is formine
among them, and with or without their aid
LupIoo, Cabral, or any others hostile to the
dominican govern mept should get possession
o. this port, the naval forces of the United
States would reake it, and IN so doing the Tor
el2n residents, as the larg. st properly ho'deis
as well as the most inter ested in the bnsine'!:
Of the po,t. would be the greatest sufferers.

the letter OF the Secretary, and here we see
how "man-of-war'' formed part OF the first
stage. mere inquiry is inaugurated by q
"man-ot-war." Nor was it to stop at single
place; it was to visit the several ports in the
Dominican Republic
The Secretary Of the Navy obeyed. Orders
were given, aud under date of June 20, 1869,
Rrar Admiral Hoff reports that the Nipslc.
with an armament of Que 11.inch and two y
inch guns, sis to visit all the ports of the Do
mhican Republic" Here again is a revela-
ton, foreshadowlng the future; all the ports
10 be visited by this powerful war ship. Why?
To what just end? II for negotiation, then
was ioIcs-force FORCE our earliest, as it has
been since, o.r constant plrnipot- ntiary! Al
ready we discern the contrast with Old Spain.
On the 17th of July, 1869, Gen. Babcock sail
| ed from NV York for Sau Domingo, IA spec
ial agent of the State Department. The re-
cords OF the department, SO tar as commuuica-
ted te the Senate, show no authority TO open
| negotiations of any kind, much less to treat
| for The acquis ton OF this half island. His in
| structIobs, which are dated July Is, 1869, are
simply % make certain inquiries; bo, under
| the same daIe the Secretary of The Navy ad'
| dresses lett-r to Comm aDder Owen, OF the
| Seminole, with an armament OF one ll-Inch
gun and four 80 FOUNDERS, OF 1900 pounds, II
which he says:-
| You will remain at SANTANA, or on the coas
| OF San Domingo while Gen. BabcocF is there
and give 6.m the moral support OF your guns.
Tue phIase of the Secretary is at least curl
GUS. And who Is Gen. Bahcock that on BIZ
visit the navy is to be at bis bach? Nothing OIL
this bead is SAID. All that we know from tb'
| record is mat be was TO make certain inquiries
and 10 this business gums" play part. I,
be sure it was theirs' moral support" he was L
haze; but they we're nevertheless guns"
Thus in all times has lawless force sought t.
dis3tise itself. Before any negotiation was be
guu, while only lew interrosatories were or
dered by the State Department, under whic
he acted, "lhe moral support OF guns" was OF
dered by the Navy Department. Here, siI
permit me to say, is the fist sign of war; be
log an undoub,ed .usurpation, " heiber ty Pres
ideDt or Secretary. War is hostile force, an
hero it is ordered. But this is only squin
compared with the open declaration which Ell
sued And here again we witness the contrat
| with O'o Spain.
But the "guus" of the Seminole we're pt
enough TO support the plenipotentiary in b
inquiries. The Navy Department under da'
