His Holiness and the Hayti-San Domingo Case.

Rome, Aug. 28.—The pope has instructed Cardinal Macchi to study the dispute between Hayti and San Domingo regarding the boundary between those two republics, the presidents of which recently appealed to the pope to act as arbitrator of the controversy. Cardinal Macchi will report to the pope on the conclusion of his investigation into the facts of the case.

The pope has declined to receive at the present time several personages who desired an audience of him. His holiness has intimated his desire that they visit him on Sept. 20, their visit to be taken as a protest against the national fetes in honor of the occupation of Rome by Italian troops. The pope advises that Catholics abstain from making counter demonstrations on that day.
