PRESIDENT BArz.
Imay say indeed that there can be no reasonable
doubt VI the sentiment o. the porula-on. IL hat
IS to decide the question Of annexation the solution
Is easy. They arc unanimously IN GyOr OK It, As
Nj. Wade says: "Ihey would be condemned fools IL
they were not" But whether It IL worth our Willie
to accept the island is another M ter altogether
wrote you when we first landed at sauto DOMINGO
City that Baoz was excited over argnoTol activity
of Cabral on the frontier. The stir lastcl Cor ssY-
eral days. Cabral reported 10 be marching upon
Aqua with all his forces they number about 2oo1l,
and Baez either was or pretended 70 be seriously
alarmed, had tleinestimabie privilege wi,nc-a-
ing the muster of the Dominican force which vas
dispatched TO meet tho insurgents. All the avail
able soldiers in and the ca7itai wero st to-
gether outside tho walls They we've bare
foot, raced, dirty, aud probably bunGry
but better hundred raDb-o OF negrOes
never saw. Few Of them had any better apons
than sword OF q long knife. Small boats conveyed
them in detachments TO n wgetCh3d ltt'e schooner
living in the halb r, on board which tlcy were
crowded till there was hardly room even iot pilot.
This was the flagship Of the Dominion navy. and
as the trOops clambered It's SHE bass bl1d on
tho shore brayed an inspiu.ing farcU j. One thing
the army ca .ried which surprised and Giieycd me.
They had no standard OF their avn, but they
bOro with great pride AmaicR CQ% or
the regulation regimental size. This was 10 scci-
dent, or a Iawless fancy Of the soldiers. Baez has
made similar use Of f.les cClors befoe. lis troops
raised our flag at Higuey recently pad tIe day be-
fore yesterday, when was go1g dccud ,.np With
one Of our party the President asked us 30 toll ,Ae
Captain Of the Tennessee TO send him il3 Glasely
large American fagp at Azua. WLa3 he wanted Of
it-whether i6 was to deceive his own people, OF .
frighten the insurgents-I 90 not know. IL Il hardly
necessary to say that Capt Temple did not comply
with his request.
The fact is Senator Sumner apo'1e no-hing 'as thc
truth when he called Baoz "a political i3c-ey' Ho
Jockeys his people, and he has done his best 30 Jockey

serves little consideration. There has move. been
fighting enough 10 hurt ans body. add )f lao there
has been none 1T all, for the ruiaori ia,venslt
against Azua proved to be a phantom attack. AID
the army had its voyage from SlntJ Domingo for
nothing. Assuming that the insl,olt f3-l-3 arc a5
