sT. DOMINGO TREATY AND ANt'E&ATtoA.
1t does not seem to Be gefieraily
known that the Santo Domingo treaA
ty rejected by the Senate year ago
was afterwards agreed by the Ad-
ministration and Presid dent BAez to
he considered pending till July lst
next. So, with the report of com I
mission, the President can send to
the Senate the same treaty, provided
that new one has not been negotia.
ted. A letter received here yesterday
from ex-senator Wade, the PRESIDENT
Of tho commission, leaves no room to
doubt that the report will fbe unanf.
nous in favor Of annexation, and on
tho following basis: ....

favor annexation with eat unanimi.
ty.
2. The public debt Of the Rcpub-
lic is about million and half, as
covered by tho late treaty, and is un-
funded.
3. The agricultural resources are
rich, and almost unlimited.
4. The population is between l60,-
600 and 200, 900. =
5. There is no treaty or alliance
Of Santo Domingo pending with other
foreign powers.
The commissioners, on their arris
val this week or the next will proba-
bly, submit preliminary report,
which tho President will at once send
to Congress, if it is in session, as re-
quired by the terms Of the joint, reso-
luton authorizing the commission.
The official dispatches published
yesterday, wherein Admiral Poor,
acting under orders of the President,
warned the Government Of Hayti not
to interfere with Santo Domingo while
the commissioners were there, creates
very general adverse comment among
Republicans, and is regarded as
positive blow to the annexation
scheme, for the extraordinary power
assumed by the President is looked
upon as wholly unauthorized. It
bears out the repeated declarations of
Mr.. Sumner (Which the Administra.
tion has so often denied) that a Uni.
ted States naval force had menaced
both Hayti and Santo Domingo -

Commercial is| .r.a.f
''The Senate has been polled by
Senator Schurz and others, and thirty
three members counted positively,
clearly, and distinctly against the
annexation Of San Domingo, either
through treaty,or resolution. A ma
jority caunot be obtained for tho
resolution, because the members are
not willing to give up in that way
