Importance The rest Of tho population is
mixed, but superior in education no nUel-
ligence, owing to many years OF freedom
and education, to the same mixture In the
United States. We met there with General
Proudhomme, gentleman Of great lnteHi-
gence, education and distinguished paS5ri tps
ism. He was the man who organized the
people and fred the first gun to drive the
protectorate was like King Stork
among the frogs in the fable. He
is a negro Of the purest African
blood. San Domingo is republic, and
the people are very jealous. Of their institu.
tons. Hayti, comprising about one-third OF
the island on the west end. Is also q re-
tuition and laws Of which prevent white
man from owning real estate, or doing bust
ness or even living there without special
permit.
The separation of San Domingo and Hayti,
politically and socially, lis a noticeable fact,
proving that all the laws that man can
make can not resist the laws of God. The
of equality, either politically or socially.
The island, once an immense source of
wealth to Spain, has deteri0rated, and the
question may bejustly asked, why SO! The
island has the same sun, the same favored
climate, the same rich valleys and slOping
hills, and it's mountains and streams are yet
full of forest and mineral wealth. The an
swer is in the want of q strong pro-
tective government, so that its inhabit-
ants can feel secure in their improvements
ON their places and property; and so
that interested English and German
traders can not, to hold on their
present monopoly, hire some vagabOnd of
an adventurer to make a raid to scare off
Americans and the protection Of our gov
eminent. Under our protective govern
ment in that island q smOthered energy
would soon develop itself, enriching them
selves and greatly adding to the national
wealth. In few years it would be as
attractive place of resort, either in summer
OF winter, for business. pleasure or health,
"a any spot in the United States. In .
military, naval and commercial point of
view, its Importance must he apparent to
all. l could speak more in detail Of it's
varied mineral and agricultural wealth, but

can state, however, in truth, that there is
really little known of the value Of the
island.
The people of the leland have had the
bravery to threw off the Spanish and
French yokes, and, in 1861, again drove the
socalled spanish protectorship" from its
form a republican government, more truly
80 than ours, and have made less mistakes.
Though few in number, they have had the en-
durance to maintain themselves, almost un-
recognized by stronger governments, parti-
cularly by their natural protector, the United
States. If rightly appreciated, this acquisi-
ton would he only second in Importance to
that of the Louisiana territory in 1908.

found the meat thus cured very excellent.
The guinea fowl thus cured is also very fine.
In the Ponton district, in the southwest of
the island, near the Haytian line, we crossed
beautiful stream, called the SOvenette,
which presented mill sites which would
give power sufficient for any purpose the
country required. The stream runs through
and on the margin OF broad savanna
capable Of sustaining thousands of herds
Of cattle. Indeed, hides, horns and tallow
have been and will again be among the prin-
cipal exports of that island. Our principal
object In that region was to explore the re-
puted but little known gold and other min
eral qualities Of the country. Aboat twenty
miles southwest of SOvenette our guides left

and found the whole country about of the
same captivating character. Gold we found
on the margins OF various streams. but
owing to the latcness of the season--Octo-
ber-we could not work the streams on
account of the sudden rises at that season,
Beyond doubt the bottoms of the streams
are very rich in deposits of that metal. We
also found copper, lead, and iron. In all of
our travels on the island and tar beyond the
abodes OF men we met with no yenomous
serpents or beasts of prey-nothing worse
than the wild boar or wild bull. We also
found an abundance of food for ourselves
and animals wherever we went.
AS regards the inhabitants, they are not
negroes, as frequently represented. They
are Spanish and French, and many of them
OF accomplished European education, and
some of them would compare favorably in the
United States Senate, as our Soule once did.

AZ this writing Mat Burns, of Mound,
CITY. d. on trial in our CT. nit Court, for
an assault upon james Stockton, Of the
same place, with intent to kill As the
case will SO to the jury before our paper
viii be distributed we have no hesitation
in referring TO the matter somewhat in de-
tail The evidence for the prosecution is
~ the effect that, one night last February,
personal encounter took place between
Burns and Stockton in the saloon of the
Mound City Brewery. Burns was elected,
the doors closed and the lights cxtinguishcd
The evidence beyond this point Is circum-
stantial Shortly after the difficulty with
stockton, Burns was seen going toward the
brewery. 4 few minutes later the report
of pistol was heard, and u bali passed
through the front door, which is of stained
glass, and entered or struck the wainscoat-
inc inside near where Stockton was stand
ing During the excitement and confusion
consequent upon what was considered an
attempt upon Stockton's life, Burns was
seen running or rapidly walking away
from the vicinity Of the brewery.
There was much difference of opinion
among the witnesses as to time and dis
lance. One witness saw Burns within
three doors of and going toward the brew
cry, and although witness heard the re-
port of the pistol before he (thc witness
had walked $50 feet, yet he gave itas his
opinion that the interval that elapsed was
| Is or 20 minutes.
The defense has been ably conducted by
Mcssrs. Allen and Webb, and we shall not
be Mt al surprised to hear Of nm acqui'taL
