Interview with the Fighting Chieftain of St. Domingo. a ° “EL GRAN TRAJIDOR BAEZ.” The Mountain Man’s Opinions on the Samana Company. THE AMERICAN CURSE OF HARD WORK. Projects, Hopes and Intentions of the j Revolutionists. San JUAN, April 21, 1873. Here am I since yesterday, breathing the same pure, delicious atmosphere as the renowned vaga- bond chieitain (net in a disrespectful sense) who disturbs the peaceful stumbers of our “great and good friend” Baez, Almost paralyzed with heat, dust and fatigue, the result of two days’ incessant riding, I stand in the mighty presence of the wbiqui- tons Cabral. San Juan 1s not certainty adapted for @ national capitai, but it answers admirably for the headquarters of the ragged revolutionary army which I see bivouacked in mud huts scattered over the magnificent plateau. Stately old cotton trees—none of your sea island vines which a@ child may harvest, but trees 100 feet high—piaced by the hand of nature at regular intervals, shade the majestic splendor of the panorama, while the setting sun, shooting its carmine glow through the dark foliage of their branches, lends A SENSUOUS ENCHANTMENT to the scene. My travelling companion and guide, General Dectjen, rouses me from my revery and escorts me to meet our advancing host, to whom I am presented in iny oMcial character, Very tittle ceremony 18 observed at the introduction; but when my cicerone informs his chief—for I learn that Deetjen is an Envoy Extraordinary of the moun- tain President—of my perseverance to gain an in- terview with him, His Excellency seizes me tmpetu- ously with both his Presidential hands, saying, in the purest of Queen’s English :— “Tam delighted, sir; deeply obliged for the in- terest manifested by you in my fortunes, ard [ request that you will convey to the proprictor of the great potentate of newspapers, the New YoRrK HERALD, my sincere thanks for your visit. THE ST. DOMINGO COMMISSION, “Two years ago three eminent gentlemen,charged by your illustrious Senate to visit St. Domingo and to find out the reul feeling of the Dominican peo- ple in regard to the annexation of their country, the annihilation of their autonomy—I say these three eminent gentleman, charged with such an. important mission, failed to come here, slr; failed because they did not think the voiees of 10,000 citi- zens who obey my authority should weigh in the scale of such an important measure. Particularly for this reason I am glad that you have come, for, though your journal expresses at times somewhat of contempt tor our race, it still stands up with its mighty influence as a Colossus against the per- sistent attempts of mercenary politicians to de- prive us of our humble but cherished nationality. Next to the powerful eloquence of your honored Senator Sumner, that illustrious philanthropist, 1 look upon the independent, fearless HERALD as the great barrier to THE MOST STUPENDOUS CRIME which oficiai cupidity has ever attempted to.con- summate. But you are fatigusd, amigo; to-mor- row we will talk.’ I confess this congé gave me immense relief. I ‘was gratelul for the kind reception; but I was for the nonce bored with the gentle old man’s gar- rulity. 1 follow in the wake of my companion, who conducts me to an unoccupied hammock, in which I throw myself, Amid the merry chirrup of in- numerable musiciens which, with their four dis- timct notes of the gamut, ‘do-re-mi-fa,” sevm to sing the rising silvery moon, with the obligato of the wild gurgling of a neighboring stream and the iragrant softness of a voluptuous breeze, I was very soon lulled into a profound siumber. This morning’s dawn, with its soft, benignant tinges, afforded me the same food for contemplation as the preceding sunset. I am very soon informed that El Presidente expected me to honor him with my presence at breakfast, and, alter taking a cold dip in the crystal stream which runs through a wild ravine close by, I repair, quite equal to the task of meting out full justice to the rustic repast which awaits. A MOUNTAIN BREAKFAST. Coffee, milk, a cold haunch of mountain deer, basso, roasted sweet potatoes and cassavas and a variety of luscious fruits comprised the trugal meal. THE INTERVIEW. “perceive, General, you have quite a pleasant life out here. Many of our New York millionnaires would give much of their wealth to be able to breathe the pure atmosphere in which you live.” AND YET HE 13 NOT HAPPY. CaBraL—And yet, amigo, I am tired of it. Ihave been three years in these woods now, combating the wicked policy of that perjurer, Baez, and I ask nothing more than to be able to return to the bosom of my family after having secured beyond peradventure the autonomy of our sacred soil. CoRRESPONDENT—Have you much hope ot attain- ing your end’ CABRAL—Now more than ever. The cession of the Bay of Samana to a private company ot specu- lators is Baez’s coup de grace. Curiel’s efforts to explain this act of high treason to the people have only tended to aggravate the popular discontent, and the whole Northern line, commanded by Gar- cia, has already shown signs of disaffection, which, you may depend, the revolutionary Generals, Pi- mentel and Luperon, will not fail to take advantage of, Once a disruption 1s effected in Garcia’s troops inthe North I march with 2,000 men upon Azua, and the whole demoralized fabric controlled by that gran trajidor, Baez, will give way and the revola- tion will be an accemplished fact, THE SAMANA COMPANY. CORRESPONDENT—In such case what wontd be your action in regard to the Samana Bay treaty? CapraL—Well, that would depend upon the dis- position and feeling of the representatives of the people who would be constitutionally returned irom all the provinces. At present Baez has @ Senate which is his own creation, and the mem- bers are compelled—traitors like himsel!—to obey his will, For my part, 1 9m not averse to seeing foreigu capital introduced for the development of the immense resources of our prolific country, but 1 do oppose any tacit compromise of our national integrity. I really believe that on account of the impression generaily prevailing among the Domini- can people that the occupation of Samana by Americans {s but annexation In disguise; that the treaty and THE COMPANY WILL FARE VERY BADLY should the revolution succe: But, of course, this is only my individual opinion, and I desire you to understand clearly, Sefer Corresponsat, that 1 do not make war on Baez from personal am- bitions motives; for to disprove this there exists the tact that I was the one who first called him | Jrom his obscurity and placed him in the high po- sition which he has so abused and degraded, I make war on him because he has betrayed, from his inauguration, the liberties of the people—be- cause he has transformed our thinly populated country into one vast camp, and because he has appropriated to his own personal uses the entire revenues of the State. CoRRESPONDENT—Then you really think, General, that the Sama Bay Company of St. Domingo is an unsuccessful speculation? THE BURDEN OF HARD TOILING. CaBRAL—I do, Sefor. Particularly because our people, Who are accustomed to a life of ease, | may say indolence, will find a remarkable difference when they shall have to compete with American enterprise and energy to earn the ordinary neces- saries of lic, It had been better tor General Grant | leave us alome to work out our own satvation, Perhaps when our people will be more advanced, annexation a8 @ State in the Union would be desirable, but even then, were I living, I should oppose it with my last drop of blood. Look at Cali- fornia and Texas! What have the original inhab- itants gained by annexation? Absolutely nothing. Your hardy Northerners have driven them out, killed them or kept them in a state of abject ser- vitude, ‘At all events they have almost entirely disappeared; ‘cannot be said that they have become homogencous, for wherever they are still found they are exactly the same primitive race they ever were. The Latin race, especially WHEN MIXED WITH THE AMERICAN-INDIAN, never can become homogeneous with the Anglo- Saxon, CorREsPONoENT—I suppose, General, you favor one government for the entire tslapd? CaBRAL—Well, camarade, I de, if it were possi- ble; but a set of flends like Baez have ecatablished such strong prejudices in tne minds of tne Domini- can people against the Haytian that it is next to impossible to undeceive them. CORRESYONDENT—Are you supported tn this war- fare upon Baez by the Haytian government? CapraL—i may say I am and Lam not, if you can understand the contradiction. {know I have the sympathies not of the government only, but of the entire population, who are weil aware that THEIR INDEPENDENCE I8 MENACKD ALSO. But [I get little or no material help, and you know that in war nothing can be done without the nerous rerum gerendarum. At present I depend for success solely on the patriotism of my country- men, which, ander the circumstances, I regret to say, lags sometimes, At this point the conversation flags also and be- comes desultory, Nothing remains for one but to thank the General for his kindnéss, whereapon he again bursts forth upon the grandeur of the New York HERALD enterprise, and reiterates his thanks to the proprietor for having sent.a correspondent to his camp. OaDRal, Cabral is a “pure mulatio,” with, I should judge, nothing of the aborigines in his tompusttion. He 1s a genial companion, of frank and gentle disposi- tion, of liberal education, having graduated at the London University, and, as may be expected, speaks English fluently. “Happy thought!” It is time to leave this beautiful wilderness, HAYT!

Porr‘Au PRiNcE, May 20, 1873, Telegrams from Cape Haytien confirm the news already forwarded to you in brief that the northern revolutionary forces under Generals Luperon, Po- lanco and Nuezi attacked Guayubin and Monte Cristo on the 1st inst., completely routed Garcia's troops on the line and captured both places, No time was lost by the successful generals in march- ing on San Jago de los Cabelleros, General Garcia escaped from Guayubin on foot and is hiding in the woods. LEGISLATIVE SESSION saotedy PARLIAMENTARY PROG- ‘The first sitting of the fourteenth Legislature on the 22d ultimo was @ stormy one. As it had been previously whispered around, however, that trouble would ensue if the administration found itself supported by only a minority of the Deputies in its views on the Presidential succession, the re- tirement of eighteen members, partisans of General Domingue, created very little surprise. During the balloting here andin other communes last January it appears the Executive threw the whole weight of its influence against all candidates who were sus- pected of being opposed to its views, and especially against those who had formed part of the opposi- tion in the last Legislature. In fact, from what I learn, the military authorities used every measure to the very verge of legality to prevent any bat partisan candidates of government from election. In this city, atter itwa publicly announced that, in spite of all menaces, the opposition candidate, Mr. Boyer Bazelais, President of the last Chamber of Deputies and an unmitigated opponent of the pre- tensions of General Domingue to the chief magis- tracy, had been elected by an overwhelming ma- jority, the military attacked the polis, arrested and imprisoned a number of voters, the alarm guns ils fired and the city was declared in a state of lege. uring the disorder which this condition of affairs created the procés verbal establishing the election of Mr. Boyer Bazelais was purloinea or lost. Hence it was determined to challenge his right to @ seat in the House, and this was the cause of the stormy proceedings at the first meet- ing of the Corps Légisiatii. THE NATIONAL, REPRESENTATION consists of seventy-five Deputies elected directly by the people Jor three years, and thirty Senators elected by the deputies for three and six years, from names sent in by the different communes of the Republic. Both houses form what is called the National Assembiy, which elects the President for four years; so thatevery new chamber of Deputies ejects a certain proportion of Senators, The con- stitutional quorum for each body is two-thirds ot its respective members. From the causes above given only Berar Deputies have been elected, and so, when Mr. Bazciais was declared legaily entitled to his seat by a majority of the House, the eighteen government members believed that against his admission and simply retiring they would force him to resign, a8 their retirement would leave the House in minorit and prevent it from legislating. General Brice, a sharp, clever fellow, lute Envoy Extraordinary to Europe, de- clared that the forty-lour members remaining from the sixty-twe that had until then reached the capital Was a constitutional two-thirds majority of the members elected, whereupon the House elected General Brice its President and notified the Executive that it was prepared to receive his message. ‘The Senate supported the Chamber, but the Executive refused to recognize its constitu- tional existence, Meantime the eighteen seceding mombers sent an address to the President, placing dictatorial wers in his hands, upon which the other mem- rs protested. Matters continued thus for several days, when it was deciaed to work without the President; but the eighteen dissidents gained several other members te their ranks by the use of money, and, a8 matters began to look threatening from the surrounding of the Chambers by military, under command of the indomitable Lorquet, com- mander of this arrondissement, the remaining members withdrew under protest, THE MINISTRY became alarmed, and two members resigned. With immense difficulty the President succeeded in find- ing an able Secretary tor the portfolio of the In- terior; but up to this date, though ten days have elapsed, no one has been found willing to succeed to the empty exchequer. Fears are consequently generally {elt of an uprising, and when the terrible conflagration on the 27th ult., which consumed nearly one hundrea retail stores, and occasioned # less Of at least one million of dollars, occurred, the catastrophe was looked upon as one of the re- sults of the political squabble between the Legisia- ture and the Executive. The latter has, however, convoked the Legislature in extraordinary session for the first Monday of July doubtless with the pre- arranged pian of ordering entirely new elections should the members fail to agree a second time. General Domingue was sent for, and he came with troops, but no disturbance has as yet broken out.

Kinoston, Jam., May 17, 1873, The commercial section of the public is greatly exasperated at the irregular manner in which the contract, for the conveyance of the mails, &c., between this city and New York is carried out, and the clamor is as great now in favor of entering into a fresh engagement as it was some months ago, It was complained that Jamaica did not get enough in return forthe subsidy whitch she paid; no preference was aliowed her in anything; there was no accommodation reserved for passengers, no space reserved for cargo and, added toall these, there was no certainty as ta the tue ef arrival and departure of the steamers, and consequently the shippers of fruit could not make their ven- tures but at the risk of loss. If matters were bad in this before, they are now found to be a thousand tues worse. . THE WEATHER AND THE CROP. a PIGEON SHOOTING.

We have had of pigeon shooting—as the irate boarder said about his coffee—“pienty of it, suck as it was," as nearly a dozen matches have takes place at this city or in the vicinity during the past week. There was first an excellent handicap sweep, then a very doubtful championship match between Bogardus and Tinker, then an equally dubious contest between Bogardus and Paine, then a genuine and good shoot between Abe Kiein- man and Paine. Since then there have been half a dozen matehes of local and generat. impertance, some of which were bona Jide, one, at least, “with intent to deceive.” In pigeon shooting the same arift and direction are noticeable which haye tn- variably characterized all sports wherein there is a “close corporation” of artists and an outside pub- lic willing to wager. “When money comes in at the door sport files out through the window.” As it has been in the American prize ring and pedes- trian arena, and as it would be in the billiard circle were {it not for the personal antmositics of some of the leading profexstonals, so it seems to be in the pigeon-popping fraternity.
