Gov. Fabcns said that since the over
throw Of Baez violation III some form OF
tne company's rights had moi been wholly
| unexpected. When Gonzslcs first came to
power he declared that the Samnra Bay
| Convention, a. fai as Santo Domingo was
| concerned. was 10 act of the people or aI-
| proved by the people, but an arbitrary eX-
| crcisc of power Of Raez forgetting that It
was ratified ly nopuar vote. as follows
For, o0111; against. Is. In spite of this
! declaration Gonzales cxacled and got por-
tons OF the rental of the territory accord
| inr to the agreement thus ratified. He was
apparently waiting the most advantageous
moment before issuing lis decree. For
some time before II was issued the British
sloop.of-war Woodlark, having on board
MIR, St John, British Consul General at
Pcl-au-Princc. had been on what was ap-
pareutN n tour OF inspection to SANTANA
Bay. and had afterwards visited Santo Do
mngo with propusItiuns ustensihly from
the llavticn Government for treaty be-
tween the two republics. 1t was reported
commonly on the island ;hal among tho
stpulatons Of this treaty were the cession
to Havti of certain disputed territory and
the annulment of the SANTANA Bay Cunven-
ton. Upon such ccssun and annulment
Hayti (ostensiblv) was to become creditor
to The new Dominican administration for 4
considerable loan at long time and without
interest Col. Faben's Interpretation of all
this-an Interpretation with which other
directors of the company agree-is that
Great Britain, Jealous of the hold the
United States was about TO gSt in Sauto
Domingo and DESTROYS Of securing for her
own steamers the choice of facilities at this
station, has made lIayt catspaw in the
whole matter.
Besides the claim put forth BY Gonzales
that the convention was originally made
without popular authority is the additional
one that its terms have not been kept by
the SANTANA Bay Company in the matter of
prepayment OF rent. According to the
compact Sl50,00O year is paid in advance
as rent, the year beginning April ]. The
first wears rent was paid April |, 1878.
when the company first took possession of
the revenues of the SANTANA Bay territory.
and on the ground that the next years rent
was not forthcoming the decree was issued
, March 25, 1874. although large sum had
, been at that time paid over. AS the Presi-
, dent-elect Gonzales, had not yet been
