Tne San Domingo Commission at San

the San Domingo Commission at San
,n0mingO.
SAN DOMINGO CITY, Feb. 8, uia Neao York,
Feb. 2O.-The commission from the United
States arrived here from SANTANA Bay yes.
,erday on the steamer Tennessee. Every
one connected with the party is in excel.
lent health.
THE FEELING AT SANTANA.
The want of coaling facilities detained
the ship six days at SANTANA. The commits.
sion found the inhabitants of that PENN.
>ula generally in favor Of annexation. A
full investigation WIGS made into the owner
ship Of the land around the harbor, and
showed that no United States official was
involved in any private. transactions. there.
Fubers and his associates; and USullvan,
have perpetual lease at nominal price oil
NEARLY ALL THE AVAILABLE WATER FRONT
for large vcsself around the harbor oil
SANTANA.
There are no valuable minerals In that
section.
The commissioners landed here this
morning, and were
FORMALLY RECEIVED By BAEZ.
Mr.. Wade explained the character Of the
mission, and Bacz and his Cabinet gave
them cordial welcome. BaeZ said peace
with the United States. The people were
all anxious for the union. Cabral, he said,
bad no Dominicans with him, and the COM
manders OF the force he was supposed to
command were Haytiens, and Hayti was
the real mover in the whole matter. He had
information that IN incursion was to be
made while the commission was here to in
fluence them, and from his agents he had
learned the whole movement. He expressed
the hope that the commissioners would ex-
anime all classes, and promised to extend
every facility.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
Five Of the party came across the island
from SANTANA to this place. The Commits
sion find no appearance of public disturb
anceS or discussions.
The season is very healthy, and the crews
of the United States steamers Tennessee,
Nantucket, and Yantic, now in this harbor,
are all well.
The Commission will be here a week
longer, and will probably visit Aqua next
week, and will start for home In about four
weeks.
Baez agreed to give safe conduct to Ca.
bral or any of his officers to come here and
meet the Commission, and messengers will
be dispatched to him ut once.
