§ MR. O'KELLY (Roscommon, N.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the fact that General Hureaux, the President of the Republic of San Domingo, has addressed a demand to the Governor of Inagua, British Bahamas, for the extradition of a political offender named José Isidro Jimenez, a former resident iof Monte Cristi, in San Domingo, and native of Cuba; and whether, having regard to the fact that the President of the Republic of San 955 Domingo has publicly announced his intention of having Señor José Isidro Jimenez shot on his arrival at San Domingo, the Foreign Office will advise that this purely political offender, whose estates have already been confiscated and who has sought an asylum in British territory, be not surrendered?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.No information has reached Her Majesty's Government as to the matter referred to in the honourable Member's Question, but I may observe that there is no Extradition Treaty between this country and the Republic of San Domingo, and that the Government of the Bahamas has consequently no power to extradite a fugitive from that country.
