San DOMINGO CITY, February 3.-The
Commission arrived from Samana Bay
yesterday. Every one connected with
the party are in excellent health Want
Of coaling facilities detained the ship
six days at SANTANA.


The Commission found the inhabit-
ants Of the Peninsula very generally
in favor Of annexation


A full investigation made into the
ownership ofthe land around the harbor
showed that no United States official is
involved in any private transaction
there, whatever Fabens and associ-
ates, and OSullivan have perpetual
lease of all the available water front for
large vessels around the harbor of Sa-
mana. There is no valuable mineral
in that section.


The Commission landed here this af-
ternoon and was formally received by
Baez Mr.. Wade explained the char
acter and object of the Commission.
Baez and his Cabinet gave them cor
dial welcome. President Baez said that
peace and a stable Government would
follow a union with the United States.
The people were all anxious for
union. Cobal had no Domincians
with him. The commanders ofthe force
he was supposed to command were
Haytians, and Hayti was the real mover
in the whole matter He had iniorma-
ton that an excursion was TO be made
while the Commission was here to
influence them, and from agents he
had learned the whole movement.
He expressed hope that the Commits
sion would examine all classes and
promised to extend all the assistance in
his power.


Five Of the party came across the
Island from Samana to this place.


The Commission find, thus far, no
appearance of public disturbances or
dissensions. The season is very healthy.
The officers and crews Of the United
States Steamers Tennessee, Nantucket
and Yantic, now in this harhor are all
well. The Commission will be here
a week longer, and will probably visit
Azgua next Stories Of trouble there
are untrue.


The Commission intend to start for
home in about four weeks Baez has
agreed to give safe conduct to Cabral
or any Of his officers to come here and
meet the Commission, and messengers
will be dispatched at once.

New YORK, February 2O.-The
Miners Benevolent Association pub
fishes a statement Of Il { causes which
led to the suspension Of operations in
the coal mines. They claim that at
the commencement Of the strike the
operators had surplus Of 2.0OO,OOu
tons of coal on hand, and the subse-
ouent rise of two dollars ton has
already netted the snug sum of 1000
600. The miners, it is claimed, without
exception, are ready to 60 to work, but
the operators are unwilling, not owing,
as they say, to the market being over,
stocked, their chief object being to les
sen the supply and advance prices still
higher, and afterwards attach blame to
the miners for all this outrage as prac'
ticed bv themselves, and thereby de
nounce them before the public for the
sole purpose of Strengthening Their
combinations. 1t is rumored that the
Workingmen's Benevolent Association
and the general coal operators who
have renounced their allegiance to the
authority OF the Board Of Trade, are
about to institute proceedings against
several carrying companies, under what
is known as a conspiracy against the
law of the State Of Pennsylvania.


Coal is seliug at ten dollars per ton at
retail in this city, with a prospect OF It's
being still higher before the week is
out. This rise is owing partly to the
long continued suspension OF mining
in Pennsylvania, but more to the sud
den increase by the railroad companies
of the rate OF freight They give no
tice, just as the miners are on the point
of resuming work, that they will charge
seven dollars per ton and upward Tor
bringing coal to tide water, instead Of
two or three dollars, which they have
been charging. Much Indignation Is
felt by consumers.
