Sr. DOMINGO Crry, April 18, 1870. ~We are anxiously awaiting news from the United States of the result of the annexation question in Congress, The long delay is creating much uneasi- ness here, and many fear that Congress will not act upon the question during the present session, If they dio not it 13 to be feared that the long-strained nerves of our people, who so much desire and have been so long promised annexa- tion, will react, and i their disappoiatment they will oppose annexation as strongly as they have worked for it—a proceeding which would make Baez’s position an extremely critical one, and possibly result in his complete overthrow and the placing of Luperon or Cabral at the head of affairs— an effect which it is earnestly to be hoped may never ensue; for it would cause the total destruction of all dDustness and trade, and ail the interests of the island would be brought to a standstill, giving it a shock from which it could not recover for years. Baez has issued a decree outlawing Cabra), stating as the reason that Cabral is at Polo at the head of fogurgents; that he did interfere with Sainave and his ministers and women and children, taking them tn the Dominican territory, inhumanly butchering some of them, and finally fseliing Salnave to his ene- mics to be shot, for the sum of $5,00°, being an in- human crime against the laws of the country and the constitution, and an act of war against a nation with which this country is at peace. The decree is as fol- lows:— ARTIOLE 1. Senor Jose Maria Cabral, formerty General of taermice of the Dominican Republic, and now acting as an ‘oMeer or carrying out the projects of Hayti against Gis repunits, ts by bis’ manifesto declared an ouUaw, and ey is authorized to seize and slay him. second article commanis the executives of the dif- ferent dietricts to publi and carry out article Set, Given at > April 9, — by een o independence, seventh of restoration Koa thtra of the mh B. BAEZ, President. Ten men who were captured by Cabral and givea up to the Hayiiens at Las Yayas have escaped and here from Azua in the Dominican war steamer Monte Chnsie Several houses are being erected at Samana and business 1s looking better. Luperon is heard from as sick at Turk’'s Island. Baez has made a proposition to receive all of the old Spanish issue of paper money at @ moierate rate. Tie proposal is g adly accepied by the holders, as they had given op all hopes of getung anything for it, THE WAR NEWS. Cabral had marched from San Juan, on his way to Azua, with 1,200 men, and eral Oganda, with 600 more, had left Neyba to join him in this movement. An engagement took plice with the government, troops at Biayama, in which Cabral was successful and took a number of prisoners. He pursued the routed twoops of Baez until they reached Llaya, a village three miles from Azua, where they were reinforced and made a stand; but Cabral again defeated them with great slaughter, putting them to com- plete rout, Cabral was at’ last accounts awaitin; the arrival of Oganda, when he will make an attac! on Azua, Baez on hearing this despatched a batta- lion of troops, all natives of Azua, wh 1s also his birthplace, and expresses conildence that they, with the troops already there, will successfully defend the cliy. Azua is the most important town of the south and is the key of country. There are only two towns between Azua and $!. Domingo Vity—namwely, Bani and St. Christobal. American War Vesscls—Trade—Resources— Chances for Development—Mines—Attempt- ed Revolutions—The Case of Mr. Hatch. Sr. Domingo, April 16, 1870. The arrival of the United States steamer Severn @agship), with Vice Admiral Poor, gave additional interest to the question of annexation, and, it being the ali absorbing question here, ali other business is held in abeyance to its consummation, Business until we arrival of the American men-of-war Nan- tucket, Swatara, Yantic, Severn and Bibb, was at astand still. The presence on shore of scores of ‘officers and Americans, all flush witb American gold, gave an impetus to trade, which is but a foretaste of what all may anticipate if annexation is a fixed fact. The native indoience of the people, coupled with the constant state of revolution the country has been eubjected to for years, has reduced it to a state of poverty, so much so that not one farm in one thousand is worked or in a state of repair. To an American tt seems strange that a country pos- sessing, as does this, al the immense resources and natural advantages’ incident to wealth, and which now presents the evidences of positive greatness, should be go miserably poor. During my perigrina- tions through the island I have been forctl- = impressed with the magnificent opening which is here presented to American energy and Yankee enterprise. In agricultural resources no county possesses equal advantages, as two and often three crops are raiseh with no other instrament than a rude hoe, Coffee, cocoa, cotton, corn, sugar and, in fact, all products incident to a Southern cli- mate laxuriate Bere beyond my most sanguine ex- ctations, while fruit of ali kinds peculiar to the opics «is =found in untold quantities. As the mineral resources but littie is known, as the interior has mever yet been pros- ed, to say nothing of being developed. However, Thesitate not to state that irom the litue I have seen, that with a few Colorado practical miners At will prove far richer in the precious metals than New Mexico or Arizona. As to mines of coal and copper it is already proven to the world that they are numerous and inexhaustible. ‘When ail these advantages are taken into consider- ation, coupled with the fact that the climate, espe- cially in the interior, is the finest in the world, we who are domiciled here think Dominica would be a prize in the hands of Uncie Sam, and do earnestly E2 for annexation. During the past thirty 8 we have had two attempts at revolution— one at Puerto Platte, the other at Azna, neither of which amounted to the respectability of an ordinary mob in America. The trath js, all the better clase are tired of such work, and look W the United States |. to put a stop to it, as it is only done to place in power @ few men who would sacrifice the country and its people to further their own aggrandizement. The prompt manner in which our Consul here, Major Raymond H, Perry, moved in the matter of Mr. Hatch, an American citizen, imprisoned at Azua, proves thatin St. Domingo, atleast, Americans are sure of the! Mr. Hatch had been en- gaged for several years in merchandising at Baraone, near the Baytien Having opecaea the Baez movement, he was charged with being engaged in an expedition to upset him after he had been placed in wer, Having been captnred he was tried and sen- need to be shot. Last October his sentence was commuted to banishment, But fearing he might malign the Dominican government, and in- ure its chances for annexation, President aez refused to let him go from the island. Aiter keeping him in prison at Azua from October to March the affair was brought to the attention of Con- sui Perry, when he, with his characteristic vim, went _ © work. The result was letters more to the point than palatable passed, and in three days the Domini- can man-of-war bt hat Hatch here, when another attempt to detain him was made. But no such child’s {play was allowed, Major Perry took Hatch to his house, placed him once more under his native flag, and next day sent him home on the United States man-of-war Yantic. The course pursued by Consul Perry in this and other cases of a different character entitle him to the respect, grati- tude and confidence of the government. A Shooting Debauch and its Resalt—Four Quarts of Whiskey and One Dead Man—The Wheels of Justice Clogged. Some days since one Morris Roach, an unmarried man about twenty years of age, residing at 170 Mul- berry street, New York, went to Paterson, Not re- turning, @ party of his friends, who had grown anx- tous concerning him, began tracing him up, with the following strange result:— It seoms that Roach had accepted a job us laborer on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, ‘besween Paterson and Little Falis. One clay last week he, in company with three other men, called ata tavern on the Little Falls road, and called for four quarts.of whiskey, of which each one drank a quart and departed. While crossing a small bridge, a3 his companions alleged, Roach sat down compani ton, thinking he would soon pe a Teta noe follow ten, afer going some ‘tiatance they retirned and found Roach dead. Justice Jolin J. Stagg, of Little Falis, viewed the ‘vody next morning, anc after inquiring into the cir- cumstances, as given by his companions, decided no inquest necessary, and the man was interred. These ave the facts as given ba ge Stagg, wiio alleges that there were no marks of violence on the body of wnat ihe request of Roach’s friends Coroner Butter- worth of Paterson, went to Little Falls and made in- pricier concerning the officer, which elicited facts which vell the transaction as soeany oie ce. aud not at all to the credit of the Littl aguire, ‘Fhe people whe sew ike WoUy adirn thas ase were merks of violence on tho body, and that the Justice declined holding any inquest, and has kept the affair go stil, tuntil yesterday it was hardly known ontaide of the village of Little Falls, Whe- ther the deceased came to his death by over oye ence in liquor or whether he was killed by hi drunken companions is a serious question, That he Was killed looks probable fromm tL@ fact that his companions on the spree took their departure Immediately after the occurrence, and have not been seen since, leaving a steady job on the railroad.

There secins to be but little doubt that Roach has been mur- dered. MUSICAL REVIEW. Doaworth, Astor place, publishes the ‘Frou-Frou Waltz,” written by the chef Morchestre at Daly's bijou theatre. The introduction, at least in the open- ing bars, le rather cold and severe in @ contrapuntal #enge, but it glides into @ beautiful melody with triplet accompaniment, The themes of tho waltz are pretty, but there 1s a want of freedom in their treatment which mars their innate merits. It 18, however, the work of an accomplished musician. A fine portrait of “Frou-Frou” adorns the tile page. Henry Litollf publishes the following:— Avery neat and elegant edition of the operas of “Lacia di Lammermoor” and “L’Blisir d’Amore,” thirty classical airs, for bass or baritone voice, from the best masters; sonatas, fantasias, variations and fugues, by Mozart, for four hands, the concertos and fantasias of Beethoven, Those great works are sold at prices which will bring them within the reach of alt lovers of music, The composers of the classical airs are Bach, Handek Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Weber and Schubert, and the dates of composition extend from 1780 to 1828. Ditson & Co, publish the following:— “Guardian Angel,” duet. Gounod, A gem of real value, colored by one of the composer's most charac- teristic accompaniments. Like all good music it is simplicity in propia persona and commends itself to all by a freedom from restraint and natural flow of melody. That we consider the greatest charm of any piece, vocal or instrumental, True mngaic is spontaneous, and the very instant it becomes labored it loses all interest. “Like the Lark,” duet, Abt. A litte waif of melody, joyous and sparkling and too short and evanescent to produce a lasting Impression, “Ring on, Sweet, Angelos,” duet, Gounod. A very peculiar song, rather monotonous in character, but fim 4 cone tw acertain degree when sung by artis “Natalien Waltz.” Oesten, This is an easy ar- rangement of festa oe well known piece. “Parting,” song. ebs.

For purity of ae and harmony of stracture Clementi’s sonatas are without a rival. it may be sald, is the founder of the modern sonata school, This work is an excellent specimen of hix great powers. “ Bella Cappricciosa,” polonaise. Hummel. ‘The composer is one of the bulwarks of piano litera- ture and this polonatse is a standard work. There is something in it that arrests the mind of the listener atonce, Itis apparently jupere yet systematic in its construction, and the coloring is kaleidoscopic in character, presenting new beautles at each hearfhg. 8. 'T. Gordon, Broadway, publishes the following: — “Panfare des Dragons,’ esquisse militaire. F. Boscovitz, We do pert like military fanfares of any kind on the piano, but this is better than the average of those compositions. “Jubilate Deo,” anthem. H. Millard. The open- ing, in six-sight time, is joyous and pleasing, being the’“Stabat Mater” of Rossini. ‘Then follows a very fine bass solo, which Rossini formerly wrote, we believe, under the name of “Pro Peccatis,” and after- wards the “Cujus Animam,” note for note, and, lastly, the “Inflammatus.” Rossini’s name would be more appropriate if attached to this Work. “Oberon,” fantasia, Leybach. An exceedingly brilliant and effective four-handed arrangement of the principal morceauz from Weber's immortal work. “Angel of Heaven Waltzes.” Oharles Viola. Very commonplace and childish. The composer forgot the eight bar measure in his themes, and having got a gvod idea in the commence! t he rings changes on it ad nauseam. “Dornrdschen.” Bendel. The melody is one of those taking themes that are admirably suited for transcription.’ On it Mr. Bendel haa raised a fairy structure of the most beautiful kind. “The Golden Fieece,” caprice. R. R. Trench. A very peculiar and quaint work, constructed on a good moiel, which is faithfully followed throughout, “Butterfly Polka.” H. Sutter. True, to its name, @ light, fluttering little work, and one to be admired, “Der Freischutz,” variations. Pacher, The theme is the great tenor aria in the first act. The varia- tions are excellent, and Hertz-like in their construc- jon. “Feux Follets,” valse brilliante. A. Le Duc. A peculiar sort of theme to start with, and not over in- teresting. “Trot de YAmazone,” Boscovitz. A splendid galop, with the ring of the true metal in It, aud adorned a the most fantastic manner. “Under the Palms,” Boscovitz. The themes, which are all of the march order, are very pretty and the arrangement is to the hest degree effective, “Chant du Matin,” idyl. Boscovitz. A singular name for this piece, which ts more of the berceuse order than anything else, Itis the work of a true artist, at all events, “Lon Forever at my Side,” quartet’ from a melody by Abt, arranged by G. L. Tatiam. A mere a of melody, with an ordinary framework tw set it o “The Impetnous Galop.” St. G pe schoolboy order; an amateur’s Crozier. OF dest concep- on. “Thou, One Bright Star,” song. J, W.

One of the sentimental order of waltzes, and a very good one at that, We cannot agree with Hitchcock's Magazine in its sweeping denunciation of musical conservatories in this city.

Commencement of the Trial of John J. Nixon for the Murder of David Cisco—A Legal Ine formality Adjourns the Case Two Days— The Circumstances of the Tragedy. Frank M.

About midnight, on Satarday, January 29,’ a tra- gedy occurred in the vicinity of Carmansville, near Bloomingdale, Passaic county, N. J., in which a man named David Sisco came to his death, it is alleged, at. the hands of one John J. Nixon. It seems that about three months previous to the date mentioned @ Warrant was issued by one of the country justices at Bloomingdale for the arrest of Sisco for ill- treating his wile, For some cause it fell to Nixon’s lot to serve the instrument, which engendered an enmity be: ween the two men that resulted in brawis and fighting almost every time they met. On Saturday night, January 29, Nixon and Sisco met at one of the taverns at Bloomingdale and fell in with a crowd of men whose object seemed to be a big drunk. Several fights occurred, in which the whole party participated, and the two belligerents, Nixon and Sisco, were more than once brought together in antagonistic opposition. However, an explanation seemed to have been satisfactorily effected between them, and the two, after first sap- plying themselves with . A BOTTLE OP WHISKEY, started off together for home about midnight. The non-appearance of Sisco up to Sunday morn- ing created an anxiet sae his friends, and as he ‘was known to have nm with Nixon the previous t, some one went to the house of the lat ter to. make inquiries. It 1s Nixon was found cor | blood from and clothing, which cre: was instituted, which resulted in fin body, with the skull crushed in and other serious in- Juries, lying cold in death in a clump of bushes to the side of the road leading to the house.

At the inquest Nixon was decided to be the guilt man. A large pi of citizens and officials st in pursuit, and after two days’ search came upon and arrested Nixon near the Sterling tron furnace.

The trial of John O’Tvole, which was commenced on Friday afiernoon, was resumed and concluded yesterday. The defendant was charged with defraud ing a sailor named Thomas Holmes out cf the sum eg $110, by falsely representing to him that he (O*Toole}: was a lawyer, by which statement the mariner was induced to sign a power of attorney that enabled: O'Toole to collect his wages. Mr. William F, Howe, who defended the accused, raisel @ nomber of substantial and technical objections to the in- dictment upon which his Honor ruled as the triat progressed. The statement of the complainant was. that he was @ sailor and arrived tn New York on the ship Western Chici; that on the 28th of March ~ he had an interview with the prisoner (whose busi- ness it was to collect claims for sailors’ wages) who represented that he was @ lawyer and would collect $110—a fine arising out of assault aud battery case—some of having been engaged in a serious fight; that under, that prevext he signed a paper which he could not read very well, but which subsequently proved to be a@ power of attorney authorizing O’Toole to collect his wages. A clerk of the Supreme Court testified that the name of Mr. O"Yoole was not on the roll of attorneys. A number of. witnesses were sworn for the deence. Mr. Buras, a sailors’ boarding house: keeper, testified that lie was a witness to the power of attorney and that the complainant authorized the prisoner to colle:t his wages, and Mr. Hall, the managing clerk of the — respectable law firm of Beeve, Donohue & Cook, stated that O'Toole came in the regular Way, and after an inter. view with him a let.er was writien to the owners of the vessel for payment of the wages. O'Toole was a witness in his own behalf, and swore that he did not rept instruneat was to reitie a tne for assa tery, but when the satior signed the paper he sald he was a deserter from the ship. O”Toole collected the money and handed it over to his partner, Monaghan, who, itappeared, did not refund it to the sailor, Two witnesses swore that they saw U Toole hand Mona- ‘han the money at the corner of Hanover and Wil- flam streets, and that the defendant told him to go and settie with the sailors. Hoimes positively stated on Friday that he was not a deserter from the ship, but his captain, who was examined yesterday, swore that he was, Holmes was et by the City Judge, and, after betug closely p |, admatied that he ‘was a deserter from the ship. Mr. Howe made an effective and able address to. the jury in behalf of O'Tvole, claiming that the testi- mony showed that his c.isnt only performed a legiti- Mate business transaction. Assistant District Attorney Fellows followed for the people, and insisted (hat O'Tvole victimized this imnocent sailor out of his money, and gaid that a number of indictments for similar offences were now prefei against him on the complaint of honest seamen who became the easy prey of the run- ners of sailors boarding huuses who acted in concert with such men as O’Tooie, After a clear and elaborate charge by the City Judge’ the jury rendered a verdict of guilty. Mr. Howe then moved for a new trial for the pris~ oner on the merits. After hearing argument by counsel for the prisoner- Judge Bedford ‘that he was free to confess that he- had serious doubts as regards the reliability of the com- plainant, that he stood alone uncorroborated, while the prisoner's story was substantially corroporated in every particular by several witnesses, Moreover, the complainant its having perjured himeelf on Fri- day last as regards a fact in this case, 1 deent it, ant but proper and just that the motion be nt Eithere are other indictments against the prisoner which the District Attorney can prosecute. ‘ 4 OOLOBED BURGLAR SENT TO THE STATB PRISON. fy James becpring yea who wed ee ae urglary in the plead guilty a third grade of that offence.
