tion of it treaty for tho annexation of
tho Republic of San Doinlimo lo tho
United Slates.
When I accopted the arduous nnd re
sponsible position which I now hold, I
did not dream of Instituting nny steps
for tho acquisition of Insular possess
ions. I believed, howover, that our In
stitutions were broad enough to extend
over tho entlroconllnent ns rapidly ns
other peoples might deslro to bring
themselves under our protection. I bo
llovcd further that wo should not permit
independent governments within tho
limits of North America to pasj from a
condition of Independence lo ono of
ownership or protection under an Kuro
pean power. Soon after my Inaugura
tion as President, I was waltcdupon by
an agent of President llaez with a pro
position to annex tho Republic of San
Domingo to tho United States. This
gentleman represented tho capacity of
tho Island, tho dcslro of tho people and
their character nnd habits, nbotit ns
they have been described by tho Com-mi.-sioucr.i,
whoso report accompanies
this message. Ho stated, further, that,
being weak in numbers nnd poor in
purse, they wero not capablo of devel
oping their great rccourccs; that tho
peoplo had no incentive to industry, on
account of tho lack of protection for
their accumulations, and that If not ac
cepted by tho United States, with tho
institutions which they loved abovo
thoso of any other nation, thoy woultl
be compelled to seek protection olsc
where. To theso btatements I mado no
reply, and gave no indication of what I
thought of tho proposition. In tho
course of llmo I was waited upon by a
second gentleman from Sun Domingo,
who mado tho samo representations,
nnd who was received In llko manner.
In view of the facts which had been
laitl beforo mo and witlt an earnest do;
slro to maintain tho "Monrou doctrine,"
I believo I would bo derelict In my
duty If I did not takomeasuros toascer
tain tho exact wish of tho Government
nnd inhabitants of tho Republic of San
Domingo in regard to annexation, and
commuiilcato tho Information to tho
peoplo of tho United States. Under tho
attending circumstances, I felt that if I
turned n deaf car to this appeal I might
in the futtiro bo Justly charged with a
flagrant neglect of tho public Interests
ami nn utter disregard of tho wclf.iro of
a uown-trodden race, praying for tho
blcsilngs of n freo and strong govern
ment, and for protection In tho enjoy
ment oftlm fruits of their own Industry.
Thoso opponents ot nntioxatlon who
have heretofore professed to bo pro emi
nently the friends of the rights of man
I believed would bo my most violent
ns'nllants if I neglected so clear a duty.
Accordingly, after having appointed
a Commissioner to visit tho Island, who
declined on account of sickness, I selec
ted a second gentleman, In whosa capac
ity, judgement, amt integrity I had
unbounded confidence. Ho visited San
Domingo, not totecuro or hasten annex
ntlim, but uuprijudlced and unbiased,
to learn all tho facts about tho Govern
ment, tho people, nnd tho resources of
that Republic. Ho went certainly its
well prepared to make an unfavorable
report ns n favornblo one, If tho facts
warranted it. Ills report fully corrobo
rated thu views of tho previous com
HiUsioners, and, upon Its receipt, I felt
that a sense of duty nnd a duo regard
for our great national interests required
mo to negotiate a tieaty for tho acqui
sition of thu Republic of Sail Domingo.
As soon as it beeamo publicly known
that such a treaty had been negotiated,
the attention of tho country was occu
pied with allegations calculated to pre
judice tho merits of the case, and with
aspersions upon thoao whoso duty had
connected them with It. Amidst tho
public excitement thus created, tho
treaty failed to receis'o the requlsito
two-thirds voto of tho Senato ami was
rejected, but whether the action of that
body was based wholly upon tho merits
of tho treaty, or might not have been
lu somo degrco iullucuccd by such un
founded allegations could not bo known
by tho people, becauso tho debates ot
tho Senate In secret session nro not pub
lished. Under theso circumstances I
deemed it duo to the ofllco which I
hold, and duo to tho character of tho
agents who had been charged with tho
Investigations, that such proceedings
would enable tho pcojilo to know tho
truth. A commission was therefore
constituted under tho authority of Con
grcss, consisting of gentlemen selected
with special reference to their high
character and capacity for the laborious
work entrusted to them, who wero In
structed to visit tho spot and report up
on tho facts, Other eminent citizens
wero requested to accompany tho com
mission, In order that tho people might
havo tho benefit of their vlows, Stu
dents of selcnco nnd correspondents of
tho press, without regard to political
opinions, wero Invited to Join tho expe
dition. Their numbers wero limited
only by tho capacity of tho vessel.
Tho inero rejection by thoSenntoof n
treaty negotiated by tho President only
indicates n dlU'erenco of opinion be
tween two co-ordlnnto departments ot
tho Government without touching tho
clinracter or wounding tho pride of el
thor. lint when such rejection takes

of tho President, or thoio employed by
him, tho case Is different. Indeed In
such caso tho honor of tho nation do-
mnnds Investigation. This has been ac
complished by tho report of tho Com
missioners herewith transmitted, nnd
which fully indicates tho purity of mo
tlvo nnd action of thoso who represent
ed tho United Slates In tho negotia
tion. And now my task is finished, nnd
with It ends nil personal sollcltudo un-
on tho subject. My duty being dono,
yours begins, nnd I gladly hand over
tho wholo matter of tho Judgment ol
tho American peoplo and of their rep
resentatives In Congress nssombled. Tho
facts will now bo spread beforo tho coun
try, and a decision rendered by that
tribunal whoso convictions so seldom
err, and against whoso will I have no
policy to enforce My opinion remain,
unchanged. Indeed, It Is confirmed by
tho report that Ibo Interests of our
country-fuid of San Domingo nllko In
vito the annexation of that Republic.
Jti view of tho differenco of opinion
upon this subject, I suggest that no ac
tion bo taken nt tho present session be
yond tho printing nnd general dissemi
nation of tho report. Ueforo tho next
session of Congress tho people will havo
considered tho subject and formed an
Intelligent opinion concerning It, to
which opinion, deliberately mado up,
It will bo Iho duty of every department
of tho Government to glvo heed, and
no one will moro chcorfully conform to
It than myself. It Is not only tho theo
ry of our Constitution that tho will of
tho people, constitutionally expressed,
Is Iho supremo law, but I havo over bo
lloved that all men nro wiser than nny
ono man, and If tho people, upon a full
presentation of tho facts, shall dccldo
that tho annexation of this Republic Is
not desirable, every department of tho
Government ought lo acquiesce in that
decision. In again submitting to Con
gress a subject upon which public senti
ment has been divided, and which lias
been mado tho occasion of numerous
debates In Congress, ns well ns unjust
aspersions elsewhere, I may, I trust, bo
inuulgcd in a singlo remark. No man
can hopo to perform duties so delicato
nnd responsible as pertain to tho Presi
dential ofllco without sometimes Incur
ring the hospitality of thoso who deem

Insufficient consideration, and ho who
undertakes to conduct the affairs of a

of a frco peoplo, whoso best Interests ho

UKl-OltT OF THE HAN DOMINQO COM

TV 1 1
MISSION,
report of tho Committeo of In
quiiy into tho Condition of tho Domin
ican Republic, was submitted to tho
Prcoidont to-day, nnd by blm transmit
ted to Congress.
It opens with the statement that tho
Commissioners traversed tho Republic
from end to end, and in sover.il direc
tions, cither by ther agents or In per
son, sjient several weeks at tho capital
in conference with tho President and
chief Government officers, examining
ollleial records, and as at all other pla
ces, in constant Intercourse with the
peoplo and taking testimony of witness
es. Thoy also visited tho vicinity of
tho western border, wliero tho disturb
ances wero reported, nnd remained u
week nt tho capital of Hayti, whero
supplementary Investigations were
made.
Tho report gives a full account of tho
form of Government and refers to tho
revolutions proceeding thu administra
tion of llaez. Tho Commissioners
found tho Baez Government In full and
peaceable possession of all parts of tho
Republic, except on tho Haytlen bord-
cr, which Is disturbed by Insurrectiona
ry leaders, aided by Hayticu intrig
uers. Whatever defects thcro might
havo been In tho original title of llaez
lo tho olllce, it win confirmed by the
National Convention anil ratified by
the people.
Tho Insurrections which still exist
aro headed by Cnbra! and Louperoii.
Tho former of theso Is universally con
ceded to bo tho moro Important, but
neither lias u distinct Hag or it regular
organized tinny ; neither Is tho expo
nent of a clearly defined policy.
'lo tho surprise of tho Commission,
almost all parts of tho country, oven the
remotest, thu peoplo wero found to bo
familiar with tho question of annexa
tion to tho United States, and to havo
discussed it among themselves with in
telligence All classes In all parts of
the Republic wero consulted, and ev
erywhere thero was it general agree
ment In tho declaration thatlhelrpeaco
and prosperity Is In annexation to nnd
becoming part of the peoplo of tho Uni
ted States. This Is partially duo to the
prosenco In various parts of tho coun
try of small colonies of colored peoplo,
formerly from tho United States.
Tho osceedlngly small rroror,Ion
who opposed annexation could only bo
found by diligent Ecarch. Thoy nro
chiefly traders or agents of foreign
houses, whoao business would sutTer by
tho change. Tho rumors that thero aro
parties in various sections of tho coun
try ready to resort to desperate mea
sures against annexation, seem to bo
disproved by tho fact that tho Commis
sioners wero frco from tho shadow of
molestation during their sojourn, al
though they had nt no tlmo anything
lu the shapo of a guard. Tho condition
of tho people, the physical, mental and
moral condition of tho Inhabitants of
San Domingo was found to bo much
more advanced than had been anticipa
ted. The population Is generally of mixed
blood. Thu great majority, especially
along thoconst, nro neither puro black
nor pure whlto; thoy nro mixed In ov
cry concelvnblo degree. In somo pnrtH
of tho Interior considerable numbers of
tho whlto raco aro lo bo found, and gen
erally In tho mired raco tho whlto
blood predominates. Tho cultivated
nnd cdueutcd eompuro well with tho
UOL.
samo classes In other countries, nnd tho
uneducated appear equal to tho samo
class In nny country with which wo nro
ncqunlntcd. They seem to bo practical
ly dcstltuto of prejudlco of class, raco or
color.
Thojudlclal officers stated Hint high
crimes, such ns murder, arson, burglary
and tho llko nro nearly unknown nmong
them. They nro all Roman Catholics
except tho American emigrants Bent
out In 1821 and succeeding years, who,
with their descendants, now form n
number of settlements, nnd amount to
60veral thousand persons. Theso nro
mostly Methodists nnd Baptists. They
livo nmong tho Catholics in peaco nnd
harmony. No intolerance or religious
persecution can bo discovered among
them. Tho peoplo nto generally poor,
living In cheap nntl humblo dwellings
In tho country almost every family
possesses nil the land they dcslro to cul
tivate. Tho reason they unanimously
assign for not cultivating moro is that
amid constantly recurring revolutions,
It Is very uncertain who may reap tho
crop. Resides, thcro U no market here
for surplus produce.
Tho Commissioners, after n careful
comparison of data, estimated that tho
actual population of tho Island does not
exceed 100,000.
The resourcos or tho country aro vast
and various, and producls may bo ill
creased with scarcely nny other limit
than tho labor expended upon them.
Thero Is evldcnco of mineral wealth in
various parts of tho Island. Tho geolo
gists of tho expedition report tho exis
tence of tho ores of iron, of copper nnd
of gold, tho deposlles of lignite, rock
salt and petroleum. Iron oro Is ubund
ant, easy of access, and will, donbtlcss
In tlmo bo mado nvallablo for tho cheap
production of pig Iron. Tho copper
ores aro of it fair degree of richness, nnd
tho beds have been opened to n slight
extent.
Tho reported coal of Vanova penin
sula nud In tho neighborhood of Pucrta
Plata, was examined, and found to bo
qulto of Uttlo value us :i fuel, com
pared with Pennsylvania or English
coal. The gold region is extenslvo.and
though worked anciently, is nt present
but little known, and Invites patient
oxplorntlon nnd practical miners. Tho
sail deposits In tho mountains near
Neyba aro believed lo bo extensive and
valuable. Tho salt can bo quarried out
In largo transparent blocks, and a
chemical analysis mado for tho Com
mission shows It to bo of sulllclcnt pu
rity for commercial purposes.
Summarily nnd practically viowed
for ugrlculturnl purposes thcro aro live
classes of lands In Santo Domlugo,
viz:
First. Tho mountain slopes and val
leys j theso aro uniformly rich and pro
ductlve, except In limited regions
whero rain Is deficient, or on tho south
em slopes of coast ratigo north east of
Monto CrMIe.
Second. Tho extensivo prairie region
of tho lauds lying cast nud norlh of
Santo Domingo City, south of Iho Cibao
range. ThU Is all admirable pasture
hind, a largo portion of it is capablo of
prolltablo cultivation. It is intersected
by wooded valleys and groves contain
ing much excellent timber.
Third. Thorollliia plain of tho Ve
ga, which is generally wooded, and Is
tho finest body of agricultural land on
tho Island.
Fourth. Tho dry lands aro liko n
portion of tho plain of Azua and tho
valley of tho Taquie, whero rain is
partly or wholly wanting from topo
graphical causes. These lands can bo
mado fertile by artificial irrigation.
Fifth. Tho red clay lands aro mostly
along tho coast and underlaid by carat-
lino limestone. Theso aro usually cov
ered with timber.
Tho Commissioners hero dovoto coid
sidcrablo spaco to setting forth the
richness of thu soil, an d tho varieties of
tropical producls sugar cane, coffee,
cocoa, cotton, ginger, indigo, .Cc. On
tho mountains many of tho vegetables
and ft ui (s of tho temperate regions can
bo cultivated. Cattle and poultry aro
numerous.
Tho forests about! In a variety of tim
ber valuable for cabinet purposes and
for house and ship building. Tho ma
hogany, satin wood, Dominican oak,
and a hard pilch plnearoabundaut,aIso,
Hgnum-vltie, logwood and aloes.
Tho climate on tho uplands is well
suited to emigrants from tho temperate
zones. On tho west sido of tho island
tho coast Is unhealthy, but clsowhero
tho sanitary condition Is very good
The popular Idea that tho Island Is
periodically llablo to yellow fever is en
llrely erroneous. Earthquakes aro rare,
but hurricanes not unfrcquent.
There aro several rivers, navlgabloby
light draft vessels ton considerable dis
tance In tho Interior. Resides thosplcn
did Hay of Samana thero nro numerous
barbers, generally accessible by vessels
of light draft.
The public debt, Including nil claims,
Is In round numbers, n Uttlo over $1,
600,000. Tho official statement of ro
celpts of the Government for 1S70,
shows it total of J772.000, tho Import
dues nlono being $000,000.
Tho Domlnleanaoveruuient hasmndo
no grant or concession of land to nny
foreign Government or nation except
tho United States.
Tho history of grants nnd concessions
given by thoComnilsslon Is about tho
samo ns already widely published in tho
North. Tho report Is strong In condeni
nntlon of tho stories that government
officials of tho United States havo been
privately interested In them.
ThoComnilsslon find no foundation
for tho statement that Dominica Is
bound to Hayll for an Indemnity sum
to France No treats of any conso-
quence oxlst between Dominica and
other powers, Tho only settled boun
dary between Hayti and San Domingo
is tho old Spanish and French lino of
1777. When Iho Haytlctis wero driven
out of tho cast part of tho Island, thcro
remained, as disputed territory, a coip
slderablu extent cast of the old bcuu
dary. This Is still lu dispute Of this
tho Haytlans held In practically con
stant control tho towns of San Rafael,
San Miguel, nnd Los Catibas,
DEM. - VOL. XXXV NO. 8.
Tho Ronlcn Valloy, oast of thoso, and
Neyba district havo been alternately
overrun by both parties. Tho claim of
Hayti to the boundary of tho Geffrard
map, which is tho meridian through
Altn Vela, is regarded ns preposterous.
Tho extent of territory within tiio old
boundary of 1777 is found by now and
careful computation to bo 22,212 equnro
miles. Tho portion of this republic ro
fcrrcd to ns having been mainly In
Hnytlcn occupancy, Is about 10,000
squnro miles.
Tho Dominican government was
found willing to ngrco to tho terms of
tho treaty as now concluded, but not
ratified, nnd for tho only chaugo think
it fair that an account of Iho great nnd
unexpected cxpenso of tho government
nttcndlng tho delay that tho sum paid
for Samana and now duo bo not deduc
ted in the final settlement. It was also
ttgrccd by Dominica that ono-flflh of
tho public lands should bo sat asldo for
school purposes, prov'Jcd tho United
States would grant threo hundred thou
sand acres for an agricultural college.
Tho report concludes as follows :
Sin Domingo Is capabloof supporting
millions of people. Land Is cheap; lu
fertility it certainly equals and possibly
surpasses tho neighboring Islands, nnd
It Is even better suited to the production
of sugar nud coffee. It could supply
thu entire market of tho United Stales
with theso great West India staples.
In reviewing Iho wholo field of their
investigations, looking to tho Interests
of both divisions of tho Island, they are
firmly persuaded Hint tho annexation
of San Domingo to tho United Statc3
would bo hardly less beneficial to tho
Haytlen than to the Dominican people,
This benefit would nrlso llrst from the
example which would doubtless bo af
forded of n well-regulated, orderly nnd
prosperous Stalo, the great need of thnt
part of tho world, nnd which it has as
yet never seen ; n second and moro
direct benefit would nrlso from the
equitable establishment of n boundary
lino between tho French speaking and
tho Spanish speaking nations upon that
Island nnd Its guaranteo by n strong
power.
This would end tho exhausting bor
der warfare, which has been ono of tho
greatest curses of Ilaytl, ns well ns San
Domingo, nnd would enable both to
dovoto their energies thenco-forward to
tho education of tbelr people and the
development of their resources.
