INTERESTING POLITICAL NEWS.

WASHINGTON, April Ut is a mistake to
suppose that recent events in Domingo have
excited any peculiar interest on the part Of
the Administration. Nothing is authenti-
cally known here beyond the fact that the
Spanish subjects on the island sent to the
Captain. General of Cuba for assistance, and
that the two or three hundred troops dis
patched by him were under orders not to
land unless by request of the authorities.
There is however, some anxiety to learn
what Spain will now do in the premises.
That she was privy to the revolutionary
movement is mere conjecture, as it Is said
that even in diplomatic circles there is no
information on which to base such conclu-
sions.
The troops in the neighborhood of Fort
Pickens, on board United States vessels, are
considered sufficient in number to re. enforce
that fort if this design has not already been
| consummated.
Proposals for Treasury. notes to the amount
| of nearly 100000 are to be received by
| the Secretary of the Treasury until Thurs
| day morning at ten o'clock. Offers have
been privately made of an q per cent. pre-
MUM for the entire sum, but it is deemed
proper to afford fair opportunity for COM
| petition.
