Mr. Davis Hatch writes as follows to the New Ycrk Evening 1'ost: Tho report ot our coTtmiBsioners docs rre.t injustice to Cabral aud bis partv, in calling lUeir oppoeition to Baez "a guerilla warfare," and "auiuiated by refentmeuts purely personal." Cabral was elected President by the direct vote of the people, and the vot'iug was as free as it ever was in this ceuntry. 1 was there at the time. Baez wa chosen by a so-called Nationa1 Convention, eelected by his provisional govern ment while he was in Curacoa. Tnls our com missioners should have known, and yet thev say they "did not find that there is a ly opponent of tho present administration of, that republic who has row, or who ever has had, any claim to tha chief magistracy by a title superior to that of the present incumbent." The report is equally nnjust towards the people of liar ti. There is no deep animosity exlftinc between the people of the two repub lics; neither any apprehension on the part of the Dominicans that Ilaytl will ever attempt to regain forcible possession of their couutrr. A'here was a league between Salnave and Baez, fellow tyrants, usurpers, and conspirators, to support and protect each other, and hence Baez's pretended apprehension of trouble from Salnave s successor, i'ret-ident fcsafret, whoso sym pathies are naturally and properly with Cabral, and who no doubt winks at his supplies passing through Ilaytl. Who will say he has not a per fect right to do this, seeina; the attitude of our Government towards Baez ? Have the llavtieus not been provoked to this by the threats of our Government ? Eut the commissioners do jreat injustice to Cabral also, in aesertinir that tie people enjoy ns much liberty under Baez as they did under any previous administration. I was there dur ing Baez's brief rule of less than six months iu 1806, during Cabral's administration from Sep tember, ISM, to February, 1S03, and more than a year of Baez's present term, and know that nntil toward the close of Cabral'n administra tion, when it was known that an expedition, fitted out by Baez from Curacoa, had landed and started an insurrection against his Gov ernment, no one was molested for his poli tical opinions, however openly expressed. This, like inost of the information obtained, came from Baez, his officials and partisans. If they had called upon General Hunrrla who started and carried through the insurrection ogalnst Cabral, by order aud for account of Baez; carried on the Government for him more than two months, until he had cour age to go over aud take charge himself; and then his Minister of War until last October, and since then in the asylum of the British Consulate they would have obtained much valuable in formation, though perhaps such as they wonld rather not make public. And they mifrht have obtained reliable information on the state of the country, and how Baez is regarded among his countrymen generally, from the numerous poli tical prisoners in the dungeone, if they really wished to bear both sides. 1 know from letters received, written while teey were there, that they were told of thoe things. Tbey were keen to observe and swift to note, "muskets in the hands of prisoners having the llaytien stamp on them," but make co mection of those in tha hands of Baez's men with V. 8. on them, everywhere to be f-ecn, as well as cartridge-boxes and belts with the U. S. plate. I saw many cases of mutkets opened in Azua with our armory mark on the outside. Is it any greater crime for the Hay tiens tojfurnish death-dealing missives to Do minicans than for us to do bo? or does our supe rior strength give us a right to do bo? The country expected better things of Mr. "Wade, from his great experience and previous history, than this rose-colored, one-sided, and altogether partial report. If the President is satisfied it is evident the people or the press are not except in a few caEes where an Impartial verdict was not to be expected. Extracts rom tlte officUl organ of Cabral. From the copies of the Dominican journals sent ns by Mr. Hatch, says the Font, we trans late and condense the following: "On the 7th ol March tbe American Com mis Bloners met Generals Alvarez and Travieso. Tbe official interview between the Americans and the Dominican representatives having concluded, the former tben BBked tbe latter to give them conlden tially their opinions on the situation of the revolu tion, and tbe views of those who sustained It. The Dominicans told thi-m that If they would travel through the country they would be at liberty to in quire tor themselves. They assured the Amerlcius that, with the exception of the adherents of Bz, no one in tho republic desired annexation; that the Dominicans valued their own independence as highly as they (tae Americana) did; and that Baez entirely misrepresented the tacts in regard to public f&ling in San Domingo. "The Dominicans added that the vote taken by order of Baez in favor ot annexation was Illegal, as wasprovea iy tne revoumou ltseir, Dy tne prisons 11 lie d with eminent patriots, by the forests contain ing now many fugitives from persecution, and by the numberless Dominicans who had fled to foreign lands. Messrs. White and Howe admitted that they had met wltb several notable fugitives, and that at rort-au-Priuce they saw anioni; others who would not accept the annexation scheme, Angel Maria C'amlnero, brother I Camlnero, the present com mander of tbe armies of ban Domingo, and the prin cipal supporter ot Baez. J-.1 Pabeilon Doviiai. ano of March 81 contains a violent article directed against tho Baez govern ment, giving tbe names ot a number of it) victims, who are designated as "martyrs," and inveighing against the annexation scheme as a 'job,' which compromises Wota tbe honor sad the Interests of the I nlted States aad of the Dominican republic. ' "J his is annexation !" says El J'abellon. "An In famons speculation! A bargain! A fraud! A rob bery ! buth is the annexation projected by Baez and upueju dj ixranr. G RAM' IX THE WEST.

THE ILLINOIS UORROK. The Mnrd oi of ftlm. Peters Vlfty Alcn. limiting lor tho flnrclcrtr. The Missouri Democrat of the 25th Inst. Eays: Ouite full particulars were published yester day in regard to the horrible murder oi Mrs. Christian Peters, near Centrex ille Station, in St. Clair countv'. 111., on (Saturday evening. We have ascertained a few additional facts. Any thing bearing upon the fearful crime will be read with painful interest. . THE HUSHAND 8 DISCOVERT. When Peters returned to his home on Satur day evening, about six o'clock, he entered the house hurriedly by the front door. It was sufli ciertly light for him at once to Bee and compre hend the horrible situation, lie was transfixed, for a few moments, with horror. Mrs. Peters was vet breathing or gasping, and tae warm blood spirted from the three cuts in the left side of her neck. She breathed her last In about half a minute after her husband's arrival. BLOOD T HANDS. The poor woman must have etrnggiecl despe rately bo long as reason remained. Floor and furniture were bespattered with the red life current. After the murderer accomplished his work, he deliberately washed his bloody hands in a bucket of water which was setting in the room, giving the water a deep red tinge. MOVEMENTS FOR THE MURDERER'S ARREST. No organized effort was made on Saturday night to catch the murderer, but at 3 o'clock on Sunday morning ueputy beriu ueorge voncier schmitt commenced active exertions, sending men to all the ferries leading to this side of the river. Over fifty men were on the huut yester day and the day previous, and the whole com munity betrayed Intense anxiety to catch the brute, ehouid this desired end ue attained, 11 is more than probable that JUDGE LTNCn will take swift vengeance in his own hand. If any human being ever merited punishment at the stake, the perpetrator of this great crime is the man. is one can deprecate more than we the infliction of summary punishment, aud in this case we would mildly suggest that the law ehouid take Its course, in case the miscreant is captured. If the citizens are determined, how ever, in the event of a capture, to take the law Into their own hands, we would further suggest to them fo be sure that they havt the right man. REWARDS. In addition to the 1200 reward offered by the (heritf of St. Clair county, the county court will prolably add 300, and the family and imme diate friends of the murdered woman and her husband may make the total $1000. A GOOD L1W. An Act to Prevent Trefcpasslng on Railroad Carat. The following Is a copy of an act passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature, the object of which is to put a stop to the too prevalent prac tice of jumping on cars while in motion, from which many fatal accidents have occurred. It Is entitled "An act to prevent trespassing upon railroad cars:" Section 1. Ji it enteted, etc., That any person will fully entering In or upon any raliread car, whether the same be passenger, freight, coal or etber car, ceutrsry to the rules of the corporation owning tbe same, without paying fare, shall forfeit and pay a peeslty of not less (nan one dollar ner more than five dollars, wbich shall be paid to the treasurer of the school district In which sucb otTense Is com iflttttd, for the use of said school district; and any constable or police ollicer having Knowledge of the violation of this act may forthwith arrest the of fender; and tae magistrate shall prscee.dtedei.r mine tbe matter In issue, and it he shall coavlct the person so charged he shall proceed to pronounce tbe ferfeltare against the person convicted; and if tbe person convicted refuse to satisfy such forfeiture Immediately, Uieotbe magistrate shall commit the eflenderte jail for a period not exceeding ten days: lTovidoi, That nothing herein contain. sball be held to prevent the prosecution and convictloa of any person who may falsely persoaate another with a vitw of riding In any passenger car wltkwut pay ment ef fare.

Vi tioit Frte Fret, Aft il 22, A little incident happened at tbe Grand Trunk Juncliuu 011 Friday eveuing which g.ivo a hun dred pnsFcngcrs aty iiuantity of fuu and merri ment, nnd resulted in the reclamation of three women whttliave for several years past been livit g iu Salt Lake City in 1I10 capacity of wives to a Mormon elder named Colemnu. It recurs that Colenian left tait Lake City soiua day? ago for a trip to the Hast, having some clicu matters to tee toon Long Iand. Wlitt is a lit'Je unusual for Mormous to do, the cider decided to have Lis three wives occompany him, it beii'g Lis Intention, oe is learned from one ot tho wives, to use them to assist in securing tho cou version of other women. Tho party cime along to Chicago, and there stopped for a day or two, taking a look around the city, and the elder making some purchases to send to fricn ls at Salt Lake. They left Chicago on Friday, It being the intention to change off at th3 Grand Trunk Junction, and take that route through, the elder claiming that ho had friends at Port Huron. The four occupied seats as neartogether as poi-dble, and, to avoid remark or ridicule, each one was furnished with a ticket, thus seem ing to be going along like ordinary travellers. At Chicago only one of the wives was registered as ''Mrs. Coleman," the other two giving other names, and occupyinga separate room, Coiemin ttating to the clerk that they were his nieces. In coming over tho Central road, the four oc cupying two seats close together, Coleman went forward to take a smoke, positive that there was no such thing as losing his four hundred pounds of matrimony on a train running thirty miles an hour. He had informed them, previous to de parting from Salt Lake, that polygamy was now a recognized institution in the laud, and that Congress had sanctioned it. While they did not believe, they could not dispute, as noue of them were ever allowed to read auy other than Mor mon publications. They determined to boldly refuse to proceed with him further than the junction, aud to trust to tho chivalry of the passengers and the law of the State to prevent maltreatment or being forced on. When tho train arrived there the elder found that he must wait a couple of hours before connecting with the Grand Trunk. The quartette sat down in the hotel parlor, and the elder then proceeded to lay down a programme for the balance of the journey, tell ing his wives that the least show of insubordi nation would result in their arrest. They did not reveal their plan nntil the four were on tho platform, and the train within a few minutes of ttarticg. The oldest wife then plainly told him tneir intention in a quiet, even voice, and added that if he wanted to create a "scene" they were ready for it. Coleman was at first thunderstruck, and then gave way to a burst of rage. While thus excited, one of the women disappeared, and the other two walked into the ladies' pitting-room,, filled with passengers, and sat down, lie followed thorn io, threaten ing them with arrest, and then with instant death, if they did not immediately get aboard tho train with mm. Having taken the first step, the women were- plucky enough not to back down, and defied him to do his worst. tjoieman saw mat ho was nmniess, aud was fairly white with rage. He tried to reason. offered money and promises, but the women were firm, and warned him that if ho did not quit their presence they would expose him to tho passengers, and secure his arrest. What could he do? Any white man would have mashed his head in a minute, especially if aKked to by a female in distress, and uoicman saw that to use force would end in his arrest. Having said "they wouldn't, he felt quite sure that his wives would not go on, even though the trunks in the baggage -car contaiued all their finery except xdie was dciiik woru. The game was up, and as tne conductor yeiioa "A-1-1 'board," Coleman sneaked out and got ajioard the train, not caring to lose the baggage and wives both. As for the women, they looked over their pin money, found that they had about twenty dollars between them, and determined to come to this city. The missing one was found In the woodhouse, where she had taken refuge, and the three walked to the street cars on Michigan avenue, and then rode in. One of them passed over to Windsor after dinner, and the other two were at an Intelligence oflice on Woodward avenue during the afternoon to se cure places as house servants, calculating to remain in the city until some better arrange ments can be mode. A 3IQST1I IN A BOAT AT SE1. Fearful Sufferings of a Shipwrecked Crew .Many Daya "Without "Water. From the Fiji Times, Jan. 7. We have to record one of the most miraculous escapes from death at Bea In many forms that have ever been made public. Tbe bark Dashing Wave, a successful Cbina tea-clipper, Is down as missing iu the Sydney Morning Herald. Oeptaln Vaadervord a as the master of tbe vessel, and from him we learn the following particulars: lie left Foochow on July iitt, boand for Sydney ; and on the night of August 81, the weather being thick and squails coming down at Intervals, Captiin Vandervoid took in the malntop-gallantsail at 10 P. M., and went below to He on the sofa in the cabin; at lux he went on deck again, aud wai just In time to see a small island right ahead ; he shouted to the man at tbe wheel to put the helm down, aud tbe vessel had nearly come round when her keel tn-ched on the reef which surrounds the ls'.and. Uali an hour after taking the bottom the copper cemeover the weather-sides in sheets, aud tbe fore mast snuk eighteen Inches; the mainmast was cut away, but tbe ship begaa to break up fast. The island proved to be Wake Island, small and unin habited, surrounded by a reef, rendering It impossi ble to laud If there is auy wind blowing at all. Captain Vandervoid says it is ten miles out of the position given In the chart, 10 deg. 38 mln. north, loT deg. east. The crew took to the :oag-boat, and captain Vandervord secured a chart aud nautical Instruments, but strange to say 110 compass was saved; a case or colonial wine, a bag aud a half of bread, and two buckets were put In tbe boat, but no water, and for thirty-one days the thirteen men wre lu the open boat without see- utr land, or a snip, or receiving any assistance whatever. They left the wreck at 10 the morn lug after, and witli sail made of blankets sewn together and fixed te an oar, began their weary journey in search of some inhabited Island. Their suiTerlrjgs may be Imagined. For the I1r.1t five davs the hrd not a drop of water, and the Ctnttlu served out one bottle of Cawarra daily between the thirteen.; That saved their lives. After that time they had rain aud caught water, bnt ex cept at the time it was actually ralutDg, a half-pint of water each only a day was served out and a hand ful of bread. To the credit of the men and their commauder there was no Insubordination, no at tempt to obtain more than their shara of tbe scanty provisions and precious water; silently but re- sisneitbey passed nay aiteraay, me sun pouring down on ttielr unsheltered bwads. Every day Captain Yanderord got the boat's position by means of his Instruments, but when the weather was dull they weiit la all directions, for want of a compass, espe cial. y on cloudy nignts. 11 was tne master s intea tlon to make for the Klngstnill group, but the cur rent was against them, and then a course was steered for Ascension Island, and had any of the party been able to row they might have reached it, but, weak as 1 bey were, all tbey. loouid ao was to keen their b- at before the wind itu tha blanket sail. After thirty days of suHerlng, their moitbs parched, tun trues swollen, wet with grateful showers. scorched by a tropical sun, they sighted stroan s (Uulac) Island, the easternmost of tbe Caroline group, a ere inn cumuv. saw it cuuou oumuu inking produce from one part or tbe island to an ether, and bad they been aide to get some provi sions, Captain Vand -rvord would have sept on, and tried to make one of the islands of the Marshall or Gilbert grout s adjacent. The boat refused to trafle with then, and went lbblde and were received by the Kin with the utmost hospitality : he took tbe can talu and mate to live with blai, and assigned guar ten to tba men In the town. After seme days Csd- talu Vandervord and part of the crew took the boat ana tried to reach Kiaesmill. and were mud out bv the King with sails, mast, and provisions ef every kiad. but met with a gale and had to return to fetrong'a island. Altogetser tblriy-eigbt days were spent ou tbe Inland, wUaa tbe Orili put la short of provisions, ana taey came on la mat vessel and arrived on Thursday at midnight.

An Armistice ou Tuesday, Paris, April 25 Noon Tho armistice Is in force to-day, and there has been no firing. A committee of five members of the Commune have been appointed to preside over the entry of the sufferers from Nenllly, and to take steps for the accommodation of the homeless and des titute. All the vacant apartments in Paris have been put under requisition, and inventories taken of the furniture and eeals placed on all portable objects. At an early hour to-day Portes Iiivau and Ternes presented Extraordinary Scenes. Carriages, ambulances, and all kinds of vehi cles were crowded with men, women, and chil dren, rich and poor, all clamorous to leave tho horrible city. Only persons possessing convey ances were allowed to leave. Some , took up decent women who wished to go in search of relatives at Neuilly. There was great distress outside of the gates at tho sight of tb.3 PltlnMe Nationals. Many were drunk, and thousands of the poor were collecting remnants of their furniture. The ambulance corps were seeking the wounded. The houses had been torn open by shells, tail ing and lamp-posts ripped up, trees cut off, and horses killed at the barricades, where, in Epite of tho armistice, the Nationals were working. At a point near the junction of Avenue Roniel and Rue Orleans, it was evident that nothing with life could have existed under such a Storm of Iron Hall, and many were the Impromptu places of shelter resorted to. There was a 6trange mixture of ruins and magnificent furniture. The asylum tor the nged and bed-ridden was fall of wounded, and everybody was engaged in hurriedly placing tbe sick and dying in vehicles and their goods in vans before the slaughter should recommence. In the Elysecs crowds of persons were view ing the Scenes of Destruction or moving furniture. The Ottoman Embassy was being dismantled. Many distinguished persons were present. By 5 o'clock fifty thou sand people had gathered at 'the ramparts wait ieg to see the first shot fired. The Church of St. Croix Is In Ruins. In it was found a young mau much emaciated, who had lived in the cellar three weeks. Last week the Nationals came to the place and de manded the plate and money, and the following day the priests removed to the English convent next door. On Friday last the Communists re turned, visited the English convent, and de manded the priests. The concierge attempted to save them, but those who could be found were seized and bound, and taken to the Mazas Prison. The Nationals attempted to set the convent on fire. To-day The Batteries at Porte Maillot are repairing by 300 persons. Every persoa going ont is forced to carry a sack of earth to the work, and any one refusing is arrested. Three members of the Commune, accompanied by a brilliant escort, Attcni)tt(l to Approach Versailles, but were driven back by the Versailles troops, who were stern and uncompromUlng in appear ance. At 4 30 the people were hurrying home. and at 4-50 there was ageneral stampede towards the portes, and at 5 o clock the Versaillhts had withdrawn behind the barricades, where they had been fraternizing with the Communist. There was no firing from the Nely side till C o clock. Versailles, April 25 The bombardment of Fort dTesy continued all day,and a breach is die tinctly visible. The Pruuhlans permit the Vereailllsts to erect batteries between the forts, but if the lnsuigents approach they will fire. Aa attack upon Fort d issy is ar ranged. Important Movements. London, April 27 A Daily Keics special from Versailles says six thousand troops from the Versailles army have executed some lrapor tant movements north of Paris. The situation of the insnrgents south of Paris Is said to be good. M. Thiers announces in a circular that Active Operations Recommenced yesterday. Forts Vanvres and d'leey were Ired upon, and it is presumed the latter will soen be silenced. The insurgent battery on the Troea dero has been moved. There was some fighting at Asnleres yesterday. Tke Versailles forces made an attempt to cross the bridge over the Seine to Cllchy, but were unsuccessful. A i pecial despatch to the Telegraph says the Prussians have ordered the arrest of the cure of the Church of St. Denis. The causers unknown. Seveo Cannon In Fert dIsy have been dismounted. Fort Moatrenge is an ntter wreck. The Pmulin General Barnackew I and staff have arrived at Dieppe, where General I vonGoeben, commander of the German forces In 1 tbi aortb ol France, is expected. Paris, April 27. The southern forts are bally damaged. Too Vcrsalllist projectiles fall inside the rtiinpnriB of the city. A great many people have been ki'led and wounded. Toe Mot d'Ordre says the Communists will Blow up the Forts if it shou'd become necessary. The Commune claim to have silenced the Versailles battery at Meudon, captured a barrlcada at Neuilly, and dismounted five guus at Co'irbcvo'e.
