THE SANTANA BAY PURCHAsE.-The
facts about the aAeged Bay of Ssmana
purchase or lease, divested Of all sPecula-
tion and exageration, are these: A treaty
has been negotiated whereby this Govern
ment takes possession Of the Bay and
Peninsula Of Samana for period of fifty
years, At a yearly rental Of $l5O,OOO per
annum, in coin, with the privilege OF pur-
chasing t..any time at the price OF $2.0Oo,-
600. These are the same terms which
Mr.. Seward offered for the same property,
but which we're declined by Baez. This
price, having thus been offered once by
our Government, the Dominicans declined
to accept less, and the rental was liked at
the rate of about seven and halt per
cent. of the contingent purchase money,
The negotiations have progressed SO isr
that actual possession has been taken by
our Government, and treaty covering
the concession will shortly be transmitted
IN the Senate. General Babcock, Of the
Presidents staff, who has been chief Com
missioner in this negotiation. has returned

The Newly Discovered Caves In
Iowa.

A natural wonder was lately unearthed
on the Maquoleta, about eight miles north
west Of the city. This natural wonder
oonsists of succession or continuation Of
caves. These caves were discovered somp
months ago one hundred feet below the
surface Of the earth, by mon who are now
busily engaged with largo working
force prospecting them for the mineral.
The large cave is over 1900 feet in
length, the two being separated from
each other by m eas' and west bar about
eixty feet in thickness. No lead ore has
vet been discovered in the large cave, i:
being filled with large bodies of iron crust
rock, which have fallen down from the
roof and sides in great masseA lathe

Washington ltenss.

A lurx. number of Senators and Rep
resentatives left Washington on Monday
night. and it il understood that no votes
are to be taken in the House until after
the recess.
The Senate will probably pass the
House resolution to extend the time OF
the holiday recess to the tenth of January.
This proposition originated with the
House Committee on Ways and Means
the members of which desire to perfect
business for the consideration of the
House, when it reassembles.
1T is to be regretted that the census
bill could not have been enacted. so that
operations might have been commenced
for the decennial enumeration, but the old
law has been set aside and new one will
be plac ed on the statute book in January
Those who seek Office under it must walt
with patience.
There was large amount OF Execu-
tive aud Legislative business transacted on
Tuesday, and never has 30 much been
done prior TO the holiday recess as appears
on the journals OF the presept session.
This is owing to the organization OF the
4lst Congress last spring, which enabled
both houses to commence the winter SEES
sion in working order.
AT the session of the Senate finance
committee on Tuesday WAS found several
members in favor of Mr.. Boutwelrs propo-
sition retiring $35, ,OOO, 900 of the three per
cent. certificates and issuing iu their place
national bank notes to supply the demand
in the South and West The committee
are opposed to any further imitation.
The coiu brlance subject to draft on
the 18th WAS $lO7. .733, ,S66.56. The in
ternal revenue receipts on Monday were
S6l321l 30: drafts drawn amounted to
$50. .ss4 6S the sale of coin amounted to
Sc. .493 %, and the amount redeemed was
$17 ,639 %, leaving a coin balance IN the
treasury of $105, 5,4l0,095 A. which in
cludes the outstanding gold certificates,
amounting to $39,0l7 .140 Tue available
currency balance on Monday morning was
$l3,6s2, ,e33 73.
Admiral Porter gave his views on
Thursday on the decay of American COM
meree to the select COMMITTEES OF the
House appointed to investigate that SUB
iect He made a long statement on the
, subject, and suggested as remedy to re-
| oover lost ground the granting OF suosi'
!, dies and the allowance of drawback duties
on all the articles which enter into snip
construction. He went 30 far as even to
| recommend that, if postal subsidies should
! be- found insufficient. actual cash should
be allowed, and he maintained that this
was in his opinion the only way IN whicr
we could secure the carrying trade OF
hope to compete with European nations
in that field.
