From the Washington Chroniei


Important intelligence from the Dominican
republic has Just been received in this city.
and. as we learn, the official documents have
been laid before the state department By
the act OF the Spanish Cortes Of May 1, 1865,
the military occupation of that Island was
formerly abandoned. The attempt to con
vert an American state into an European CO.
lony had been made terrible failure bv the
brave and unceaslng resistance of the Domi-
means, and Spain leaves ST. Domingo, as the
left her other American colonies-because it
was beyond her power to stay.
As last shot in the magazine, General
Gauara, Queen Isabella Governor of st. Do
mingo, demands of the Dominican republic
false and selfaccusing acknowledgment
that Spain went to take possession of the Do
mincan soil and people at the spontaneous
desire of the people; that her conduct while
there was grandly generous. and that she
leaves it entirely at her own free will, because
she has such profound respect for the rights
of every people. Without regard to their
strength and weakness, that when she disco
vered that the Dominicans preferred their ma
tional independence she would not remain
All this magnificent flourish being rende-
red into common sense English, means that
the Dominicans must take upon their inno-
cent shoulders the blame and disgrace Of the
infraction of the Monroe doctrine by Spain,
and also put on record against their country
claim for the cost Of the attempted subjugp
ton of the republic whenever it shall suit
Spanish tactics to harass them for its pay
ment The Dominican government fatty re
fuses to sanction such an admission, and Gen
eral Gandara has declared blockade on oil
the coasts and harbors of the Dominican re-
public. His officers, according to private ac
counts, talk in the streets of Santa Domingo
of laying the city in ashes, but there is a
considerable amount of foreign property
within the precincts, and the indignant cap
tain general will probably take into conside
ration that France, England. and the United
States might have word to say if he perpe-
trates upon their citizens the wanton barbara
ties he practices On the helpless Dominicans.

A SUICIDE AND THE SEQUEL.
[St. Louis Republican, July al

we mentioned some weeks ago the circumstances
Of the suicide OF young woman, who crossed
over by one Of the fenybOats and drowned her
sell within full view OF the crowd of passengers
who were returning by the same boat. Ii was al.
80 mentioned that the unfortunate young woman
was supposed TO have been disappointed in love
by man named Antoine Funkhouser. A strange
sequel TO that sad event occurred Yesterday morn
ing in the suicide OF her lover.
t Is said The two were engaged 10 be married.
but that some difference grew up between them ss
TO when the marriage should take place. the girl
,,Hsisting on its eaily consummation. and Funk.
housef desiring 10 postpone il for some time The
suFpostion that he was tri1ing with her affections
is Dsheved by many TO have been tie cause OF her
committing suicide. Subsequently 10 her burial
he purchased the lot In the cemetery in which she
had been Inferred, and also one Immediately ad.
joining, having the deed TO both made ia bis own
name, and giving directions to have himself
puteu ny the SIDE oil his deceased lover af,er his
own decease $50
On Saturday last he crossed the river At the
upper Terry, In company with two friends. and
called In at the saloon OF Abbott and Robinson.
Ia fenlce. After remaining there a few moments
Funkhouser stepped out of the saloon requesting
his friends to remain until his return. From the
saloon ne went to the river, some distance below,
ana seated himself on the very log on which his
afhanced sat before throwing herself into the
water. While there he was observed 10 take
something from his bosom upon which he sp.
Peared to look for some time. After waiting In
the saloon considerable time, his companions
started in search of him.
On coming to the log alluded u, they were as.
t9nished TO ind his dead body. By It's side lay
the likeness OF his deceased affianced. From a.
pearancesi 1t would seem that Funkhouser had
gone TO the log alluded 10, then took out the like
ness, and, having taken farewell of all that re-
mained to him OF her whom he had loved, opened
ms shirt bosom and deliberately shot himself
through the heart This, We believe, 10 a correct
version Of this singular suicide, and. being trne
forms one of the most remarkable love tragedies
on record, whether OF fact or fiction.
