report Saturday last and submitted 1t 10
bis brother Commissioners on the follow.

work Of the Commission, and goes on to
describe the political condition OF the
country. Mr.. Wade takes the ground
that Baez is dc facto President Of the
Republic and that he is In full and peace.

Cabral Is . mere bandit living in the
mountain districts, where he Is sustained
by Hayti The people Of San Domingo,
Mr. Wade says, are overwhelmingly in
favor Of annexation. They are described
as quiet, orderly and industrious, and all
charges Of corruption against the United
States officers In the negotiation of the
treaty Of 1860 are branded as villainous
ISLANDERS, without shadow Of foundation.
The report, which Is favorable to annexa.
tlon In every particular, closes with the
remark that to embrace this opportunity
toplant Republican institutions, and to es.
tablish civil liberty and American civil.
2ation upon that beautiful and productive
island, thus laying the groundwork Of
u great, free, and prosperous State,
would add another TO the achievements Of
Our Republic worthy to rank with the
great events Of our history, and would be
equally beneficial to the people Of both
countries. .o ..
DR.. Howe endorses MI. Wade's report
in every essential particular. At the va.
rious meetings held the subject has been
thoroughly. discussed. Prof. White OBJ.
jects to the closing paragraph of the re-
port, but Mr.. Wade Is firm in his determi.
nation that II shall not be stricken .out,
and Or. Howe fully agrees with him, and
will signit.
Prof White Is writing some, ideas of
his own, principally bistorial, which he
wishes TO insert in the report, and which,
It Is insisted, will not materially alter 1t.
The probabilities are that Mr.. White will
finally agree to the latter clause, and that
the report will be unanimous. The re.
port, as II stands now, Is about four col
unns in length.

The Iribuae'S correspondent writes
that there has been some earnest and EN-.
phatic debate, regarding the report,
among the Commissioners, In regard to
matters Of detail, but the substantial
points arc agreed to and they look to IN.
nexatiOn. He adds that there will be
nothing in the report which has not been
already published, except full tabular
statement Of tho debt Of San Domingo,
and all facts on the boundary question.
Mr.. Wade calls Cabral u chicken thiei,
and says that II was unnecessary 10 see
him; that It makes no difference If he Is
opposed to annexation. Mr.. Howe was

Port Au Prince until Cabral could be
seen, Gen. Baez filed q claim with the
Commission for personal indemnity ofIl
neraly 100000 for the destruction ol

paid. II annexation occurs, he Is willing
10 accept the old treaty. The Commis.
sloners will visit Washington as soon as
they return. The expenses Of the expe.

KINGsToN, March 81.
Popular Indignation Is high to-day in
consequence Of the discovery that the [
American Consul Is paying negro police '
tllty-twO pounds for the capture Of twenty
seven sailors belong to the Tennessee, 4
who got on shore here. The effect Is re. r
garded as misChlevous in the extreme, b
because 1t offers an inducement for prosti. /
tutes to concert with the police and drug
white sailors, with the prospect OF an '
offer OF q reward, when the police win 3
know where 10 find them. The defence h
Of the police Is that the Tennessee offered b
reward Of ten dollars head for the h
arrest Of the seamen. i
