It is asserted by those best acquaint-
ed with the subject, that if the House
internal tax bill becomes a law at
least one-half the present number of

trying to create a sensation and ex-
citement.
Information from high official
sources in Washington leads to the
conclusion that no importance is at
tached to the effort of the San DOmin-
90 scheme to obtain concessions from
the Dominican Government. The
President regards the prompt rejec-
ton of petitions for immense land
grants as an evidence Of good faith Of
President BaeZ, as showing that he,
as well as his Senate, are disposed to
throw no obstacle in the way of per-
fectly square and honorable negOtia
tions. The sound arguments urged
nv President Grant why the anneXa-
tion should be ratified without further
DELAY. seems calculated to bring about
conviction TO many Senatorial minds,
and it is probable after all that the
required vote may be obtained in the
Senate in a few days. 1t is admitted
