Kingston, Jamaica, March 11.
The United States steamers Tennessee and Nantasket, with the members of the San Domingo Commission, arrived here to-day, by way of Port au Prince. All are well on board of both steamers.
The Tennessee will sail in four days for New York, by way of Key West.
The performances of the Tennessee have delighted everybody. The fears of her condition are not shared by those on board, and her officers regard her as one of the strongest ships in the navy.
Each of the Commissioners is preparing a draft of his report, and as yet the separate drafts have not been compared.
Upon most points of the resolution of Congress the reports of the Commissioners will show a condition of affairs favorable to annexation. Before the Commission left Hayti, Luperson, who is one of Cabral's Generals, made a hostile demonstration against Monte Christi, but the crew of the United States man of war Congress checked the demonstration.
President Baez accompanied the Commissioners on the Tennessee to Azua, where he was to take personal command of the forces operating in that quarter against Cabral.
Cabral sent messengers to the Commissioners while they were in Hayti, but he did not visit them, nor has he been seen by any one attached to the Commission.
The last mails from the United States missed the Commission. Letters for the expedition should be forwarded immediately to Key West in time to meet the Tennessee on her arrival.
