Seward had a conference yesterday, on
the report that the Republic of San Do
mingo is about to be attacked by Spain.
The Secretary Of State discreditel the
impression generally published that
there can be any serious foundation for
the statement. The Spanish Minister
has no official information of the coloni-

been carried on i'll the Island for a year
past. Later and more reliable inteili-
gence is looked for with great interest

the Union remains endangered.

Several prominent merchants Of New
York, Philadelphia, and Boston, ar
rived here yesterday to ascertain what

The inquiry has been put to Mr.. Chase
IN regar1-to the loan, whether the bids

the United States Government, which
will be paid him, the property meantime
having been seized by the State, as
forcibly purchased at the assessed value,
of the contractor. This is very novel
proceeding.

ing Saturday thus sums up the condi-
tion Of business during the past week
"Commission houses and importers |
