ST. LOUIS, Mar. 2S.-A Washington
special says that the San Domingo COM
missioners arrived there last night.
Their report is substantially ready, but
several portions, referring to the debt,
treaties and health of the island are not
fully drawn up. All three commission
ers will sign it unless some unexpected
disagreement occurs ON the points nam
ed. The commissioners Will meet to-
morrow, and probably finish their work
and be able to hand their report to the
President on Wednesday or Thursday.
The commissioners will report simply
on the inquiries authorized by Congress
and will be silent on the question of
annexation thus leaving the subject for
future executive or Congressional act
ion on the facts contained in the re-
port.

strengthen the position assumed by the
friends of annexation.

rent that the administration has decided
to drop the Santo Domingo business
for the sake of harmoniZing the repub-
lican party, and that to afford reason
for change of policy, the report of the
commission will conclude with recon-
mendations that nothing further can be
done towards annexation at present, on
account of the state of civil war exist
ing in a large portion of the Is
land.
This report can be traced to no trust
worthy source, but probably has grown
out of the statement of Senator Morton
in his speech, that if the commissioners
report should be adverse to annexation
he would he in favor of abandoning the
project. This declaration was thought
to have some important significance, IN
view of the fact that correspondents
with the expedition announced that the
commissioners were unanimously in IA
vor af annexation.
Another Washington correspondent
telegraphs that it seems to be the gen.
eral opinion of the commissioners that
the annexation cannot take place with

war with Hayti. BaeZ admitted to the
commissioners that there are ore thou

to the Dominican Republic and living
