Whether the United States has need Of
any possessions in the West Indies, is a
question we need not fully discuss until
it is officially announced that efforts are
making to procure them. At present
whatever was published seems to be
partly conjectural; although it must be
owned that the steps already taken by
the Department of State bear out the
Gable dispatches which first came from
Copenhagen. The main, if not the sole
immediate object of acquiring by pur-
chase one Of the West Indies, would be
it's use as a coaling station. Now it must
be admitted that such a station would
be of value to our naval establishment
especially in the contingency of future
wars. Even in peace, our ships cruising
in southerly waters would find a great
saving In time and money by having o
coaling station so convenient. If such a
station were procured, it would then I'M
doubtedly be fitted up also with convent
ences for receiving, repairing and partl-
ally reftted ships, without compelling for
every purpose a return 10 the Gulf ports
or seaboard ports of the mainland. In
time of wal the advantages of this
West Indian coaliDg station would also
be very apparent. The truth is that the
same class of arguments applies to this
question as to the somewhat expensive re-
fitting of the Pensacola and Norfolk Navy
yards, which the Secretary of the Navy
SO strongly urged last December. Ho
showed the necessity, especially for the
sake of saving time and money in peace,
and for meeting naval e,xigencies in war,
of having a yard to which the Gulf Squad
ron could speedily resort for repairs. A
West Indian Island as a coaling station
would give similar advantages with re-
gard to repairing. Whether it's wise to
purchase these advantages depends on The
price demanded-a matter not yet offici-
ally made known.

From the London Times, September 1O.J

The purchase Of the United States Of
the Bay of SANTANA, in the colored ltepub-
lie of St.Domingo, for the sum of 9l ,OO0,-
600, now alleged to have been finally ar
ranged, is in harmony with steps taken by
some active New-York adventures ff-
teen years ago. At that date it was pro-
posed to place 1000 or 5000 American
settlers in the eouptry, the population of
which is estimated at only about 200, 900
and the obvious intent was to acquire this
Bay with its valuable coal mines, which,
owing to the development to be given to
steam navigation in the Pacific by the then
newly discovered treasures of California
was regarded as one of the most valuable
properties that could be opened up. At
that period in order perhaps, to stimu-
late the national feeling on the question,
it was represented that France had design
upon the Republic, and about the same
time also a futile attempt was made to
raise in London aDominican loan ofG75O,-
900. Subsequently the temporary reoc-
cupation of San Domingo by Spain, and
the exigencies of the civil war in Ameri-
ca, seem to have diverted attention from
the subject. Its resumptin at the present
moment may Units commercial bearings be
regarded with satisfaction. The Bay Of
SANTANA is among the finest harbors IN Me
world, and the supply of coal for steam
purposes has been allegedto be virtually
inexhaustible, and to be so situated that
vessels may even load alongside of the
mines. IF the general account ofits capa-
bilities be correct the station piU, ofcomrse,

assumption were to be entertained that
considerations of that kind rather than of
commercial utility have operated as in

YELLOW FEVER TREATMENT,
From the Lancet, August 81, 1867.
Concluded from our Iast.)

(COncluded from our laSt.)
To this astute ard profound enquiry
there is only but one answer, and that is,
that the Black and Coloured people of
this island have been in the habit of adj
ministering this valuable drug, from time
%immemorial ; [ have also used it frequent
ly, in my general practice, but have never
recommended it as "a specific for Yellow
Fever, or for any other disease. Castor
Oil, however, is a valuable medicine it
acts mildly, but efftcientfy-and all, that
| have said in addition to the eulogies all
ready conferred on it is, that it might be
safely substituted in Yellow Fever for
the diartic purgatives heretofore in use
for, inasmuch as the poison of this dis
ease falls principally on the mucous Ilhing
of the stomach. constituting, as DIR. Cop
land correctly observes, a'haemergastric
pestilence, it is rational to suppose that
the interior of the stomach and digestive
apparatus should not be irritated or dis
turbed'b by acrid medicines. Castor Oil is
one of the best agents for clearing the
digestive canal !; and | trust that my ex-
PLANTATION of it's action mly he perfectly
understood by all critical observers.
i uO uCAt AUCOttOu OuotIIltLCu ~ lHC'lSJ
"Have not sheets wet with water, either
iced, or of the natural temperature, been
applied around the bodies of Yellow Fever
patients for years past 2" To this pro-
found question l am unable to furnish an
answer; l have frequently used wet sheets
in Yellow Fever-and in other forms of.
Fever, too; but 10 what extent other
medical men may have adopted Il similar
practice, | am unable TO say.
The next imposing question put is.
"Has sulphurous acid never been pro-
posed and used as a remedy for Yellow
Fever and did not DR.. POLL more than Il
year ago., suggest the use of the sulphTtes
in that disease ?"
This is an unfortunate question, and if
the Editor of The Lancet had had his wits
about him whilst conducting the issue of
his journal, he would not have allowed
an ignoramus 10 humbug him. The Edi-
tor Of a medical journal should be tho
roughly posted up in current professional
literature; and unless he is so, he is sure
to commit mistakes.
The Editor of The Lancet has made a
great mistake in supposing that Professor
Polli suggested the use of sulphurous
acid in The treatment of Yellow Fever.
This eminent man, it is true, pointed out
the antiseptic qualities Of this agent, and
suggested its employment in certain dis
eases, but being cautious, practical, and
a lover of truth, he RETAINED from adj
vancing any opinion on complaints not
coming within the scope Of his personal
operations. Yellow Fever he had never
seen, and he wisely RETAINED from maxi
ing any observation about il.

A. m r a n
(From the New York Arny and Macy Jurma1)

Two dispatches have lately come
through the Atlantic cable on the subject
of the alleged American negotiations re-
garding the purchase from Denmark of
her West India colonies. In the first
place, a Copenhagen telegram tells us
that the journals of Denmark are discus
sing the reported proposition of the Uni
ted States for the purchase Of the island
of st. Thomas. They generally favor the
project, and urge the Danish Government
to enter into negotiations with the Anne
rican Government for the sale of the ISL
and. Still later, the Vienna Presse, which
is q journal of q semi-oficial character,
says it has received intelligence chat the
United States is on the point Of conclud-
'ing,a negotiation with the Cabinet of Co.
penhagen for the acquisition by purchase
of all the Danish possessions in the West
Indies, consisting of the islands of st.
Thomas, st. Croix, and st. John, and that
the price is $4,000, 900 in gold.
Should this prove true, the negotiations
sit of Mr.. Seward, and The subsequent Vi
sit Of Mr.. Stewards son to the island of
ST. Thomas will have produced some
fruit. There was something almost lu-
dicrous in the diplomatic mystery with
which these Seward : like preliminaries
were conducted. First, it was
ed that Mr.. Secretary Stewards health
was falling from the severe strain of du-
ties, and that he would make q little SOU
therly trip. Pretty nearly overy mornicg
we had official assurances from the Wash
ington kilograms that the voyage of the
Secretary was solely ia reference TO the
,"recuperation of his health" and had mo
diplomatic significance" The Geographic
anxiety respecting the Secretary's health
was really almost painful in its intensity.
But, in fine, the vessel got away " for a
%~southerly voyage" and, in the most natu-
raj way, went to st. Thomas. The Sec
retary's health became entirely restored
in a few days and he returned much
benefited" by the voyage. Such we now
presume to be the origin Of the negotia-
ton which the Vienna paper speaks of as
nearly concluded. 1t Is pleasant to learn,
at last, Of these little affairs, ever if we
have to do SO through an Austrian news
paper.
