A New York dispatch of the Goth says
"the full text of the samana purchase con-
vention shows that the Company has OBJ
tanned absolute sovereignty over the PENN
sula, with its inhabitants and private inter-
ests. The sovereignty conceded to the COM
pany Is greater than that of the State of
New York, or any other State in the Union,
for 1t includes the right to levy and collect
custom duties, and to do many other things
which can only be done by sovereign ma
tion. Baez not only sells them these extra
ordinary privileges, but he sells them the
flag Of the Republic OF st. Domingo, to use
as they may'see proper"
