The San Domingo Investigation
The following extracts from the testi
mony in the San Domingo investigation by
the Senate Committee will be found of in
terest:
Testimony of R. 11. Perry, U. S. Com
mercial Agent at San Domingo.
Q. Did you ever receive letters from Mr.
Hatch requesting you to interfere to obtain
his release? A. Yes, sir, I received sev
eral.
Q. Did you reply to them ? A. I did not.
Q. Why did you not reply? A. From
the time I received my commission in
Washington I had been influenced against
that man by all parties who had been con
cerned with this annexation movement and
concerned with the islands, and had been
advised by all those parties not to intercede
for his release.
Q. Name the parties. A. I understood
here in Washington, when I first started
for San Domingo, that Mr. Smith had been
relieved because he was not the right man
in San Domingo at this time to bring about
this annexation movement; that he was
opposed to parties there; and Mr. Fabens
also told me on my way down that he
hoped I would not intercede in this man's
behalf; that he would boa barrier to an
nexation, and also a great enemy to him
and Mr. Cazneau.
Q. Did you become well acquainted with
the character, the reputation of Mr. Hutch
while you were there? A. Yes, sir.
Q. State to the Committee what was gen
erally said of his character as an honest man.
A. He stands among the merchants of San
Domingo as A No. 1 in regard to honesty
in his business connections; I have heard
all the merchants speak very well of him.
Q. When you applied for Mr. Hatch's
release what reason did Bare and his friends
assign for not releasing him ? A. The con
linement of Hatch was entirely through
the influence of Comeau. One morning,
shortly after I got the first communication
from the State Department, asking me to
use my good offices in Mr. 11atch's behalf,
to do what I could to secure his release I
went to President Baez's room and
requested the release of Ilatch. I
not Mr. Cazneau in the room, and
Wien I made this request of Ilaez, Caz
faun opposed it openly. At the same time
Comeau was interceding for two Domini
cans, who had been guilty of murder at
Santana Ilay, and lkiez in lily presence
promised hint the release of those two Men.
Then I spoke to Baez, and told him that I
thought it was outrageous that an Ameri
can citizen, like Comicial, coining front
Texas, as be did, should be interceding in
behalf of those Dominivans and obtaining
their release, when I was ask ing ter the re
lease, of an American citizen, and could
not obtain it.
I asked him why it was that Caznertu had
such influence over him. He told me (lad
Otzucouttoth in tired rorrr.youdehtt with
the Pt.chidt,tt of the Un it rd Seettrx, and knew
of all the plans of our government, and
knew the wishes of our government. I
know myself that Cazneau was in direct
)1111111111leatiOn with the departments here.
(4. While you were there did you have
interviews or COllVOrtiatinlnt with i ;en. Bab
cock in relation to Mr. Hatch's case after
you had informed yourself about it? A.
Yes, sir; I asked (len, Babcock, the day
before the Albany left, why it was that I
mould not get the release of Mr. I latch ; that
had been promised his release a great
many times•, but they 'kept putting glue,,ff,

Q. What reason did leigive? A. Ile gaco

was an enemy to that party.
Q. After your return to \c'a,hington, did
you }Jaye any isitivrrsalion With item Bab

:—lt has hitherto seemed so im
probable that a man educated at our Na
11011iii Military Academy, and attained to
the high rank you hold, at so early a period
in life, mid holding so important and con
fidential a position by the side of President
i rant, could be induced by sordid motives
to use the intlumtce of your rank and posi
tion :to the injury of a fellow-countryman
in a foreign land, an entire stranger to you,
when you were under the most solemn ob
ligations, as an officer of our government,
to aid and protect him, that I could not for
a long time believe what I heard. So long
ago as the month of October I received a
letter from a friend in Santo Domingo, in
which, after speaking of the combination of
certain parties there who were encouraging
Mr. Baez in persecuting me," itsays, "And
I Mine it from undoubted authority that
General Babcock took on with him the so-
Lialite4 proofs ot• your complicity in the rev
olution against the government, to lay
them before the President and the State
Department, in order to forestall and pro-
Judie. your case, and prevent any interpo
sitlon by our government in your behalf,
and this before your trial . ' Reliable
though the source whence this report came,
I was incredulous and did not notice it or
speak of it. More positive evidence having
reached me since, which taken in connec
tion with the acquiescence of our govern
ment iu the continued prosecution of Mr.
Baez, leaves me no longer in doubt; and
clear and truthful though the whole record
seems to be, I would not make a formal
complaint to our government, or give any
publicity to the affair, without giving you
the opportunity to defend or explain your
course, although you did not extend the
like favor to me. I therefore send a copy
of this letter to Senator O. S.
• • • 9 *****
"As I am an entire stranger to you,
whom you probably never heard of before
your first visit to this country, it is not pos
sible you could have anything personal to
ward me, and it is, therefore, very natural
for me to ask myselfwhat motive you could
have in injuring me. Surely it could not
be for the gratification it afforded Mr. Baez
and his American counsellors, and that
alone. Are you not in their grand schemes
of speculations out of the past and pros
pective negotiations with our government?
And have you not other speculations in
prospect which induce you to press and en
courage the pending negotiations, without
considering the interests of the two coun
tries You certainly would not go so far
one side of your line of duty as to encour
age Mr. Baez in persecuting me were it not
for the hope of some favor—eomo reward—
directly or indirectly ; and these reflections
lead me to inquire what object you had in
view in the questions you put to Mr. Smith
in the month of August as to my character
and standing, and as to the validity of the
grants I have in the salt mines of Novba.
From whom did you hear of me and of
those grants, and what object had you in
inquiring whether they were valid or not?
'Were your intentions honorable toward
me?
- .
"To gratify your curiosity, and at the
same time that you may know the origin of
toy difficulty with Mr. Baez, I will give
you a brief history of the acquisition of
those grants. I arrived in San Domingo in
January, 1863, and, after a caret id examin
ation of the mines and of the natural farii -
ties for transporting the salt to the seaboard,
I applied to the Spanish government, tian
in quiet possession of the whole country,
for a concession of the same. Having ingot
highly recommended by the highest au
thorities in Porto Rico, who knew me per
sonally, my petition was favorably received ;
and favorably recommended to the home
government for approval. Rather than
wait there the usual slow action of the
Spanish government, I returned home. On
hearing of the approval of the home gov
ernment I came out again the following
winter, and in February, 1164, the Captain
General handed me the eight grants, em
bracing the whole extent of the mines, duly
signed. By instructions front my associates
I returned home again to assist in organiz
ing a company to work the mines; but be
fore the organization had been completed
we heard of an insurrection having broken
out on the north side, having for its object
the regeneration of the republic, and it was
thought advisable to await the result. The
revolution extended and continued un
til, finally, on the first of May, 1865,
the Spanish government passed an act
of abandonment, and the evacuation
of the country took place on the 11th
of July following. It was then thought ad
visable, though not necessary under the in
tentational code, to obtain a confirmation of
the grants front the succeeding govern
ment, and I came out again for that pur
pose. It was not until the following, De
cember that a permanent government was
organized under Mr. Baez. I called upon
him immediately, and met with a very cor
dial reception. Ile told me he already knew
the whole history of the grants and of our
projects, and the importance they would be
to the government and the country, and
that I could count upon his assistance and
of vice officially and individually, arid he
:tilled, ' You can call upon me at any time
without ceremony.' I called twice subs()-
; quently, on which occasions the subject of
OW 1111110 S was fully discussed, but the
col iffity of the titles never questioned. On
the bith of December, five days after his
nutuguration, an insurrection broke out at
Puerto Plata which Manned hint and warn
ed him of his probable short tenure of office,
and of the necessity of making good use of
his 011ie. Every project of improvement,
thereffire, had its price, whatever advant
ges it offered to the government or country.
Ile soon intimated to the that he thought
Mere might lie a question as to the validity
of our titles in the salt mines, and, imme
diately after, a confident of his advised me
n. propose an arrangement with Mr. Baez,
privately, and have the grants confirmed,
save time. I called upon him the same
evening With a mutual friend, and had a
private and pleasant conference with him
of Pao hours, I proposed to make
him a member of the association without
bearing any of the expenses that had been,
W. that might be, incurred before the
organ ization. lle seemed in twit pleased
W hill this at the time ' and said he
would think it over and let me know in a
day or two. Nothing au./ about the
titles being invalid. After a few days, the
insurrection increasing, and seeing he
would soon have to leave the country, be
Sent mile word that the proposal would not
suit him, and the same confidant of his
called again and advised me to propose a
SUM of money, which I declined, and bud
no other interview with him. Net longafter
this he passed a decree annulling the grants
upon the frivolous premium that the Span
ish government had no right to issue them

A MI. \ N v, J LIIIC 2.B.—The following are the
particulars of the collision on the river last
night: About I A. M., four miles below

a tow coining down, piloted by the tow
boat Telegraph. Seeing the imminent
danger of a collision ho immediately sig
nalled to the engineer to reverse the engine,
and endeavored to warn the approaching
tow of its danger. The tug kept, on its way
regardless, it seems, of her repeated warn
ings, and though the Drew tried to prevent
it, a collision was inevitable.
In an instant thereafter she struck the
ill-fated Telegraph, crushing in her side,
bursting her boiler, and sinking her al tuust
immediately. Then ensued a scene of con
fusion, the crew jumping overboard and
crying for help, and the canal boats in taw
cutting loose and drifting hither and thither
crushing and grinding against each other,
and doing much damage.
The Drew immediately lowered her boats
and succeeded in picking up the engineer
and three others of the unfortunate crew,
who were mostly asleep at the time of the
collision. The engineer was badly scalded

by the bursting of the boilers before he
scarcely knew what had happened.
Every attention was rendered him and
others of the crew, and on the arrival of the
boat at this city the engineer was carried to
the hospital for treatment. There were ten
of the crew in all on the tug, the rest of
whom, it is thought, were picked up by the
canal boats. The Drew sustained no dam
age.
Four Young Men Blown op by Gun
powder—One of Them Klllsd--The
Others Dangerously Injured.
From the Dubuque Times, June 2.
One of the most shocking accidents of the
above nature that wo have ever been called
upon to record, occurred at Tete des Morts,
a few miles south of the city, last Sunday
afternoon. The Catholic residents of that
vicinity were engaged in holding a grand
religious festival peculiar to that faith, the
ceremonies consisting of a large procession
composed of men,womea and children,who
were disposed around several altars that
had been constructed for the occasion. Asia
the unusual custom the priest appeared be
fore each of these and bestowed upon them
his blessing, when at the conclusion of the
same, and in order to heighten the effect, a
cannon was fired, which was stationed on a
small eminence immediately back of the
church. The firing party was composed of
four young men, sons of farmers residing
in that neighborhood, but their names we
were unable to obtain. Along in the after
noon they ran out of powder, when the
boys started after a fresh supply, and soon
after returned with seven pounds of com
mon blasting powder, loosely wrapped in
a piece of brown paper. They had got
about half way up the hill, when some of
the powder spilled out upon the ground.—
The young man intrusted with the task of
carrying it was carelessly smoking a cigar,
and without removing this from his mouth
he stooped over and commenced lading the
powder up with his hands, and placing it
back again in the paper While thus.
doubled over the pile of powder he com
menced joking his companions about the
mishap, but in the set of speaking the
lighted cigar dropped from his mouth di
rectly into the pileof powder ,around which
at the lime all wore closely huddled to
gother. Quick as thought, instantaneous
I as an electric flash, before one of the party
could think or dream of getting away, a
bright angry tongue of flame shot heaven
ward, followed bye dull muffled roar and
billows of black sulphurous smoke,prod ue -
i fig one of the most terrible explosions and
fearful sights on record. The consequences
that ensued were frightful. The ilVated
snicker was blown up in the air a distance
of ten of fifteen feet and fell in a heap so
scorched, blackened and disfigured that he
could hardly be recognized as a human be
ing. All of the rest of the party were shock
ingly injured, their skins being burned to
crisp and peeling off at the slightest touch,
leaving nothing but the bare quivering
flesh. Every vestige of clothing was blown
from their bodies, the hair singed off and
their eyesight destroyed. Added to the
other horrors the dresses era largo number
of school children, who happened to be
standing near, caught fire, and many were
badly burned—some so seriously that their
lives are despaired or.
One of the young mon died on Sunday
night, and at last accounts the others were
but just alive. The accident, as may well
be imagined, causes the utmost excitement
at Tete des Morts, and was the prevailing
topic of conversation, yesterday, in many
places. We hope to obtain further particu
lars in regard to the terrible affair soon,
when we shall hasten to place them before
our readers.
Since writing the above we learn that the
names of two of the victims are Nicholas
(lorin and Nicholas Tyson. The boy that
died is the son of a widow woman and was
her only support.

Safety.
In a recent issue, Bile the Cleveland
Herald of the 25th inst., 'We made note of
the supposed loss of a Man from the lum
ber barge Susan NN'ard, in tow with two
others, during the storm of Monday night.
Search having been made for him, the only
chance of his being alive seemed to be in
the possibility of his having been picked
up by sonic passing vessel and carried to
another port. The surprise of the crew can
well be imagined when the missing man
appeared to their vision in the cabin of the
barge in this port as they were at dinner
on Wednesday. Not long after, he favored
our sanctum with a call, k now ing we would,
from our interest in sailors, be glad to
know of his safety.
This is his narrative in brief. Between
one and two o'clock on Tuesday morning,
when about twenty-five miles o ff this port,
during a heavy blow, portions of the deck
loads of lumber of the three barges in tow
of the steamer Du torque were washed over
board, and James :NE elledy, one of the crew
o f the middle barge, S irsan Ward, went over

A Nattirdity Niatht 11.11hina - Scene
It is not exactly right to laugh at our
follows misfortunes, and yet, like the wag
who saw another squirm under the pangs
of a jumping toothache, the thing was Si)
ludicrously comical, that we had to laugh
or bust. A party of jolly chaps, in order to,
cool off after the sweltering heat of Saturday
evening, hied to the Monongahela river.
just above the Smithfield street bridge, for
an old-fashioned bath and :fit ins. They
went divested of all superfluous goat, and
at once plunged into the inviting waters.
The pioneer of the party yelled out, "My
God, Frank, but the bottom is muddy and
sticky!" but in they went, wading out as
far as the depth would permit—one unto,
tunatewighr, who was as hairy as Esau,
stooping down and grasping handsful of the
bottom deposit and rubbing it over his
body. The discovery was soon made that
the material was coal-tar, the refuse of the
gasworks, which had been dumped there
to be got rid of. The whole party were
black as Africans in certain spots, and their
feet were thoroughly encased in the adhe
sive material. Bathing was soon brought
to WI end, and as their bodies were so coated
as to preclude the possibility of donning
their garments, they took up the line or
march for the Merchant's hotel, with not
even the dignity of a Georgia summer cos
tume—a shirt collar, and a pair of spurs.
Fortunately at that hour there were no
"peeping Johns," or prying members of
the Sorosis, to impede their sorrowful pace,
and with their crumpled linen and outside
duds in hand, they made rapid time.
Arrived at the "Merchant's," a tub of
water was speedily provided in the saloon,
and with a firkin of lard and a box of soap,
the scrubbing process commenced. The
tarry substance was tenacious ; and as the
victims greased and scrubbed, washed and
swore, the scene, as witnessed by au out
Sider, was one to make even a dog split his
sides with laughter, and would have fur
nished to a ilogarth or Cruikshank material
for one of the most ludicrous sketches that
ever employed theft graphic and ready
pencils. Tho next morning the whole
party were us melancholy as if they had
just witnessed the destruction of a still
house—sore from rubbing, and whether at
table to enjoy the ordinary repast, or in the
reading-room, striving to reap the benefit
of the cooling breeze, visions of the past
night would rise up before thorn, and they
emphatically declared that the odor of tar

'Faro Oil Refitterlem Struck by Light
ming.
Pirrsnunon, June'.—This afternoon a
heavy storm passed over the northeastern
part of the city, and during its continuance
the Citizen's Oil Refinery, located imme
distely above Sharpsburg bridge, and that
owned by Dr. Tweddle, just below, were
struck by lightning, and instantly both re
fineries were enveloped in dames. An
alarm was given, but before it could reach
the firemen, the flames communicated to
the Sharpsburg bridge. The dry timbers
of the structure added fresh impetus to the
lire, and in a short time it was entirely de
stroyed.
Mr. Bell's refinery, adjoining that of Dr.
Twaddle, next took tire, and the flames
communicated to the huge tank in the re
finery adjoining. It was feared that near
ly it not all the refineries between Sharps
burg bridge and the Standard Works would
be consumed.
Owing to the lateness of the hour and the
fact that the wires were burned down we
are unable to obtain fuller particulars. It
is impossible to give any estimate of the
probable loss at this time, but according to
the information at hand it will prove the
most disastrous fire which has ever occur
red here.
The storm referred to above was a most
destructive one, tearing up trees and sweep
ing away fences, etc., in its course.
Queer Ploturh Stock
We clip the following from the Augusta
(Georgia,) Chronicle and Sentinel, of the
2:51.11 lost: Sherman's march through
Georgia during the last year of the war,
swept everything in the shape of horses
and mules from the section from which he
passed; and the unfortunate planters had•to
resort to the most unheard of expedients
to obtain what is known On the plantation
as "plough stock." Many used cows and
oxen, and a few, we believe, ploughed
their wives and children. But it is reserv
ed to South Carolina, to use an animal on
the farm, which heretofore no one has been
able to utilize for any purpose whatever.
We learn that a planter near Midway, in
South Carolina, about seventy miles from
Augusta, has cultivated his entire farm this
year, so far at least as his ploughing was
concerned, with an alligator. The animal
is an unusually large one—weighs three
hundred and fifty pounds—and is perfect
ly docile and domesticated. He is said to
work splendidly in plough harness, and is
far superior to mules or horses. The in
credulous may not believe this story ; but
there can be no doubt of its truth, as the
information comes from a conductor on
the South Carolina Railroad and a resident
of Charleston—two sure vouchers for his
veracity.
Murder in a Printing Office
The office of the Council Bluffs (Iowa)
Times, was recently the scene of a tragedy
which is thus related by thatjournal of the
21st;
"Yesterday, just as the Times was in
press and the boys had begun to distribute
their cases, our office was the scene of a
terrible and sanguinary encounter. James
M. Bell is a young . man about twenty-two
years of age. Be is a small man about
rive feet six inches high, rather stockily
built, has gray eyes, light curly hair, and
LS in his manner taciturn, and so far as our
acquaintance with him goes to show that
he is a quiet, orderly young man, and al
ways minded his own business while em
ployed in the Times office. He has been
Council Bluffs only about ten or twelve
days, and has worked part of the time in
this oflice and part of the time on the Non
pareil, having had no regular situation,
but "subbing," as it is called, for other
printers reguarly employed, at such times
as the latter happened to be indisposed.—
lie had been "subbing - for Charles Aus
tin, the murdered man, during the day.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon Bell
left the Times office and went ever to theSes
pared, remaining there a shorttime, when
he returned. Ile came up in front of the
Times office and leaned up against the door
earring, looking into the office. Austin
made some remark about his "sub," blam
ing him for something that had occurred.
The latter (Bell) responded by calling Aus
tin a "liar." Austin made a rush for the
door, swearing he would whip Bell, but
was so intoxicated that he lost his balance
and went off the sidewalk into the gutter.
Recovering himself, he started for Bell a
second time, when the latter drew a small
revolver, and leveling it shot his assailant
through the head, the ball striking him di
rectly over the right eye and about an inch
above the eyebrow, passing directly through
the brain and lodging against the skull
bone on the back side of the head. Austin
threw up his hands, gave a dull groan and
ell forward on his face on the sidewalk,
and for some minutes made no sign. Pretty
soon, however, he began to show signs of
remaining life, aml was taken up and car
ried to the yard in the rear of the Times
office where fie remained in a semi-uncon
scious condition till removed to the build
ing adjoining the Washing - ton House,
whore he recovered sufficiently to converse
at intervals.
Bell, immediately after he had tired the
shot, came bark into the office, terribly
frightened. We said to Mtn, "Bell, what
have you done ?" Ile replied, "I have shot
Austin. What shall I do?" We at once
told him to g 4, over to Montgomery's Mlle°
and keep out of the way of the rapidly
gathering and fearfully excited crowd till
he could be taken in charge by the proper
authorities. Ile followed our ads - ice and
went across the street. The crowd was in
creasing by scores, and in less than ten
minutes the whole street in front of our
office was crowded with people. Some of
the lawless and turbulent spirits who aro
always on hand in such eases began to raise
the cry, "Where is he?" "Bring him out,"
rice., and two of these latter followed Bell
across the street, avowing their determina
tion to take him out and hang him. They
were, however, dissuaded from their pur
pose, and there were no further demonstra
tions of the kind.
Bell was born in Cincinnati; he has a
brother living in Indiana and two sisters
living in Benton county in this state.
Charles Austin is thirty-three years of
age. lie is an old jour printer, having
"tramped" the United :States from the
Atlantic to the Missouri and from the lakes
to the gulf. lle was an eccentric genius,
intelligent and pleasant, and, like most old
jour printers, was possessed of an inex
haustible fund of anecdote and humor. Ile
had all the proverbial generosity of the true
printer, and his last penny was at the ser
vice of any one who used him well. Ilis
wound is undoubtedly fatal, and he is only
alive now by reason of his cast-iron consti
tution and his strong, sluggish, nervous
organization. II is home is at lisj White
hall street, New York city.
A limn named Donohoe, keeper of a low
groggery on River street, Newark, beat his
wife so brutally that her life is imperiled.
Only - A short Limesince he was sentenced to
the State Prison Mr a year for his ruffian
ism, but through the pleadings of his vic
tim his sentenee was commuted to a fine.
Saturday a neighbor was greatly sur
prised to see Mrs. Donohoe run into her
house, reeking with blood, and pursued by
her husband, who, as she sank exhausted
upon a chair, was felled to the ground with
a blow from him. The neighbors were
afraid to interpose, and remained silent but
horrified spectators of his atrocities.
While she remained motionless on the
floor he partially disrolned her, and, taking
her in his arms, threw her upon the stove,
whereby her forehead was severely cut by
striking a kettle, the hot water in the latten
also scalding her person.
Finding her still aliv • he flung her flow
a flight of stairs, and as she lay in a lifeless
condition, he told the shuddering bystand
ers if they would carry her home he would
withhold any further brutality; but no
sooner had she been deposited on the floor
of their house than Donohoe impressed the
heel of his rough shoe on her face with such
stamping force that the blood oozed from
her ears, nose, and mouth.
Donohoe then shut the door and remain
ed inside with his victim • and as all the
witnesses of the deed of 'Lod were afraid
to prefer a charge against Intn, the police
refrained from making any attempt to ar
rest tour at the time; but a warrant was
afterwards placed in the hands of two oill
•ers who proceeded to the apartments oc
cupied by him in the basement of the
shanty at the corner of River and North
Canal streets. Bursting open the door of
the dingy low saloon, they passed into a
back room and from thence into another,
where a scene of indescribable confusion
and destruction presented itself. Every
article in the bed chamber as well as the
windows seemed to be broken to atoms and
strewn or the floor. Pictures, looking
glasses, crockery and even the bureau
drawers and clothing had been demolished
1)r torn to pieces and lay in every direction.
An exclamation of horror could not be
restrained by the officers, inured as they
were to such scenes. on the bed lay the
body of the woman, trial! appearance dead,
and the first thought was that her husband
had escaped, but seeing a movement at the
hack of the bed the officers pulled the
clothes off and brought forth Donohoe.—
Upon laffilg told their errand he began to
swear, :intl iiimlly ail he would not go
with tio•in.

The appearance of his wife is horrible in
the extreme. She has a deep gash over the
right eve, and the whole alter face is badly
bruised and terribly swollen, closing the
right eye entirely, besides it is alleged by
the women who attended her, that the
whole of her side from below the hips to
her neck is black with bruises. Although
suffering greatly it is thought that by care
ful attention the woman will recover from
the effects of the dreadful punishment she
has received.
Terrible Accident at the Lochiel Iron
%Yorks.
Last night there occurred a most terrible
accident at the Lochiel Iron Works, by
which three men and a boy were injured,
perhaps fatally. It seems that the men
were engaged in topping cinder in one of
the boiling furnaces, and oneof them threw
a wet bar of iron into the molten mass,
which immediately exploded, the burning
'octal spurting forth upon the employees.
Three men were terribly burned, and a boy,
named M'Quaid, was perhaps fatally in
jured. Mr. Lewis, the Superintendent of
the Works, at noon to-day brought one of
the men, named Tomuy. and the boy, to
Ilarrisburg, that they might be taken care
of by their relatives. Their lives are de
spaired of. There was about a ton of mol
ten metal in the furnace. Two of the men
have large nullifies.
Day before yesterday there was a some
what similar accident at the Works, by
which a workman was horribly scalded by
water from an exhaust pipe. The skin on
his back was almost entirely flayed off.—

Heavy Charges and a Big Gun
READING, June 26.—The patent multi
charge rifled cannon, recently manufactur
ed at the Scott foundry, in this city, was
tested this morning at the old province
ground, on the line of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad, a few miles south
east of Reading. The gun weighs 10,000
pounds, and measures in length, over all 11
feet 6 inches, including the rifling. Three
charges were fired, the first two being
merely preliminary ones, but the third was
a full proof charge of 34 pounds of powder
and a ball weighing 100 pounds. This can
non has been put to the most severe test of
any of its calibre ever manufactured, and
has given entire satisfaction,
Spain to be Driven from the Antilles
A correspondent of the New York World
writing from Panama, June 17, says :
"The news from the interior is of the
highest importance as affecting straggling
Cuba. Say what may the opponents of
this country—and they are many, and there
is mach to condemn—still it must be ad
mitted that Columbia has played, and is
playing, a noble part in respect to Cuba,
for which country throughout this entire
Republic there is exhibited ,extraordinary
sympathy. In the Senate, at Bogota, Senor
Carlos Holguin has proposed that a
solemn compactbeiformed between the,His
pano-American Republican governments,
whose object should be the liberation of the
Spanish Antilles, Cuba and Porto Rico
that the President of the 'United States of
Columbia should be authorized to propose
this to the other Republics, and that when
it is formed Spain should be informed that
Latin America considers the day has ar
rived when Spanish dominion should cease
in the Antilles, and the attempt should be
made to induce her to retire her forces and
leave those islands to govern themselves
as they may wish. Friendly relations
to be established with the mother coun
try in case she "lends herself willinlgy
to these ideas of her ancient children ;" and,
in case of refusal, that all relations with
Spain should cease; that all the Spanish-
American republics declare themselves in
attitude of war, and shut all their ports
against her, nor admit a Spaniard to the
South American continent, and sign an
obligation to work incessantly, by all means
within their reach, to drive out by force the
Spaniards from the Antilles; and that in
case of refusal, as before mentioned, the
Executives be authorized to make and de
clare war, in conjunction with the other
American republics, and to make any ex
penditure which, in its judgment, the exe
cution of the present law demands. The
bill embodying this proposition mss enthusi
astically passed by a largeittajority.-
Letter from the President
The following is a copy of the letter writ
ten by President Grant to Senator Nye, and
reterred to in our telegraphic despatches of
last evening:
EXECUTIVE 3,I.kNSION,
WASHINUTON, D. C., J une27,
Stu: In reply to your letter of to-day I
am pleased to inform you that General
Babcock did not exceed my wishes or my
verbal instructions to hint in connection
with the confidential basis. General Bab
cock was sent to San Domingo to ascertain
so far as ho could the wishes of the Domin
ican people and government with respect
to annexation to the United States. If he
found them favorable he was directed to
ascertain the terms on which they desired
annexation.
. .
He brought the confidential basis, which
was not binding or intended to be binding
upon either government, unless each saw
tit to continue the negotiations. It contains
a clause making it null and void, unless
accepted and carried into effect.
I also directed the Secretary of the Navy
to send by General Babcock such instruc
tions to the commanding officer of the Uni
ted States steamer Seminole as would di
rect him to seize the Telegrafu if found on
the high seas, and send her to Baltimore
fur adj udication, she having interfered with
our merchant shipping. In transferring
these instructions to the commanding offi
cer of the Tuscarora, General Babcock
done no more than was his duty.
General Ilabcock's conduct throughout
meets my entire approval.

Railway Matterx
Nam YORK, Juno 26.—A committee rep
resenting the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, and Morris and Essex Railroads,
waited on Uould it Fisk at the Erie oillee
to-day, for the purpose of settling the dif
ficulty in relation to the Bergen tunnel.—
After a long and spirited discussion and
mutual explanations, the parties separated
on the best possible terms, having agreed
to refer the points in dispute to friendly ar
bitration.
_
in connection with the recent extraordi
nary reduction in the rates for transporta
tion of cattle between New York and Buf
falo, a report obtains circulation that Fisk
and Gould, learning that the Central Rail
road had reduced the rate to one dollar per
ear, telegraphed to their Western agents
to buy up all the cattle they could get on
account of the Erie Railroad, and ship them
over the New York Central, thus compell
ing the Commodore, fur the first time in
his financial career, to carry Erie stock at
a disadvantage.
The Erie and Pennsylvania Central lines,
yesterday, made a further reduction of .5:3
passenger rates to Cincinnati, making it
$l4, instead of 311. The Erie Company are
jubilant over the fact that their broad gauge
freight cars are now able to cross the conti
nent through the ingenious device of A. B.
Snow, which consists of a feather key
placed laterally on the axle, and which se
cures the wheel at any point desired.

while returnig from a wake, because en
gaged in a right with a nun! named William
Scower, at Juniper and Rater streets.—
Scower finally attacked McKeown, and
throwing him upon the pavement and get
ting, on top of him, drew a knife and stab
bed him ten times. The wounds aro
principally in the sides and breast ; but,
strange to say, but one wound is considered
dangerous. McKeown also had two of his
fingers bitten off and the others on the
right hand badly lacerated. Scower was
afterwards arrested, and emnmitted by Al
derman Bonsai( to await the result of Mc-
Keown's injuries. The, wounded man was
removed to the Pennsylvania I lospiutl.

IMMEEMI2
A Kentucky paper tells the following:
" At the Planters' house, the other night,
one of the guests sat down in a third story
window to • cool off,' and falling asleep, fell
out. In his descent of sixty feet he went
through the roof of a woodshed, badly shat
tering the whole structure, alighted on a
porch, the floor of which he broke, and
rolling over, knocked over and badly
twisted a tin gutter pipe. The police on
that beat heard the noise, and thinking that
a safe had been blown open, rushed to the
spot, when they found the gentleman rub
bing his e3 - es and yawning as if lie had just
awoke from a refreshing sleep. He invited
the officers to take a drink, and after put
ting about four ounces of old Bourbon
down his gullet, he retired to rest for the
night—this time to his bed. The next morn
ing he appeared at the breakfast table as if
nothing had occurred, paid his bill after
breakfast, and took his departure for the
