New York, Mar 22.-The Times cor
respondent with the St. Domingo COM
mission writes from Key West that
/ Commissioner Wade finished his report
Saturday last and submitted it to his
brother commissioners on the following
morning.
r 1t begins by detailing the work OF the
commission and goes on to describe the
political condition of the country.
Wade takes ground that Baez is the
de facto President of the Republic, and
that he is in full and peaceful possession
of the government; that Cabral is a
mere bandit, living in the mountain
district, where he is sustained by Hayti.
Wade SAYS the people of San Domingo
are overwhelmingly in favor of annex
alton. They are described as a quiet,
orderly, and industrious race. The
charges of corruption againt U. S. OFF,
GERS in negotiation of the treaty of 1869,
are branded as a villainous SANDER
without shadow of foundation. The
report which is favorable to annexa-
ton in every particular, closes with the
remark that to embrace the opportunity
to plant the republican institutions and
establish civil liberty and American
civilization upon that beautiful and pro-
ductive Island thus laying ground
work of great, free and prosperous
State, would add another to the achieve
ments of our Republic, worthy to rank
with the great events of our History,
and would be equally beneficial to the
people of both countries.
DIR. Howe endorses Wade's report in
every essential particular. At various
meetings held the subject has been thor
ou0hly discussed.
White objects. to the closing para
: graph of the report, bnt Wade is firm
: in his determination that it shall not
be stricken out, and Howe fully agrees
: with him, and will sign it. White is
writing some ideas of his own, princi-
pally historical, which he wishes to in
sert in the report, and which, if insert.
ed, will not materially alter it. The
probabilities are that White will finally
agree to the latter clause, and that the
report will be unanimous. The report
as it stands now, is about four columns
in length.
l The Tribune's correspondent writes
there has been some earnest and EN-.
=, phatic debate, regarding the report
i among the commissioners in regard &c
the matters of detail, but substantial
points are agreed to, and took to an
t neXation. He adds that there will bt
,. nothing in the report which has moi
h been already published, except a full
e tabular statement of the debt of SaI
S Domingo, and all facts on the boundary
s question.
