Tie Alta veln Question-Tone of the Dominic
can Characterization Of the Foreign AIinis-
ter.
ST. DOMINGO CITY, July 20, 1888.
The tone Of the United States press ON the Alta
vela question excites the surprise Of the Dominican
Cabinet, but no apprehension. The Minister Of
Foreign Relations, in speaking Of it among his
friends, takes this postion:-When the American
occupants of Alta Vea were brought prisoners
to st. Domingo City, the Dominican republic
was in treaty with Spain for annexation to
the Spanish monarchy and the fact was known
at Washington as well, or better, than 1t was
here. No step was TAKEN no protest made adversely
to the act converting the Dominican republic into .
Spanish colony. In the progress Of the transition
the Spanish officials, then present at the capital
experimenting the Details would not permit the
the Dominican coast. The guano workers were con-
sequenty brought away from Alta Vela and their
works broken up by Spanish direction.
On raising the Spanish nag at St. Domingo Alta
Vela was coded to Don Pedro DelgadO upon condition
OF there being paid 50 so per ton for all the guan0
taken from It, and this charter remained his private
and exclusive property until 1885, when he sold 1t to
an American frm-Webster Co., Of New York.
During all this time, from 1850 to 1867, when Web
ster & Co. entered vigorously upon the exploration
Of the guano deposits, 1t is said here that the WASH
ngton Cabinet acquesced in the action Of the Span
ish government, both on the question OF national
sovereignty and the private use and possession Of
Alta vela BY Spanish subjects Seven years with
out word OF complaint or remonstrance against
Spain the Dominicans consider evidence that the
Washington Cabinet will not now move In the mat
ter against their own citizens
Alta vela was taken possession of and the exporta-
ton OF guano commenced and carried on by Patter-
son Maguinder. Of Baltimore. In $780, under what
Is called the Guan0 Island act OF 1855, and their
employees were taken fOrcbly from the island at .
few hours notice by the Dominicans the oath Of
October, the same year.
jeremiah Black, then Secretary of State at WASH
ingtOn had the affair investigated and insisted that
the occupants Of Alta vea had been Improperly
elected Mr. Seward, his successor, did not take the
same view OF the matter, and 1t is now to be brought
before Congress, and may yet lead to serious COM
plicatons. The Dominican Cabinet, besides the gen.
eral plea that the right OF sovereignty justified and
covered the action or eecment insists that the long
and complete acquescence OF the American Cabinet
bars interference for the future.

CHURCH RoBBED.--It becomes our

there is or has been in this community a
thief so low down in the scale of infamy
aud vice Us to rob church. On Friday
night of last week, some mean, no-soulcd
whelp entered the Baptist Church on
Second street, and forcing open the lock
on the bookcase containing the Sunday
School library belonging to the school
took therefrom some seven or eight dol
lars, that had been collected among the
children attending. the school and in
tended to purchase Sunday School pa
pers, which had been left there for safe
keeping, no one supposng for a moment
that persons could be found in this com
dfnunity so utterly lost to all sense Of shame
as to purloin money from church. We
don't wish the thief any harm, but his
early demise would be good riddance te
any community, and we would cheeTfully
publish the same, gratis.
