Of 81 800 900 for the improvement of the
Mississippi between the mouth Of the

1t appears that Captain jenkins, Deputy
United States Marshal, who was murdered
at New MaGrid last week, was not killed
In the sitting.room Of the hotel, but was
shot while standing In the doorway Of
Tickell's warehouse, In which building he
and a friend had a sleeping room. The
shot received was 0 charge oi buckshOt,
which almost completely severed Jenkins
lett arm, but Notwithstanding the rapid
flow Of blood from the severed arteries,
Jenkins pursued the assassin and fred
several shots at him from q revolver, but
without effect He finally sank down to
the ground exhausted, and died soon alter
although every effort was made to sale
him. Lindsey Murdock, United States
collector for second district and the sher.
iils Of New Madrid and Jasper COUNTIES
have arrived and will probably take to
New Madrid to day, Benjamin Boyce,
who was arrested here night before last
on suspicion Of killing Jenkins.

BY this time most have doubtless eX.
amined the outlines Of Samana bay as il
appears In our maps. What Is popularity
known under this name ut home Is a deep
arm Of the sea from twelve TO fifteen
miles wide, from north TO south, and
about thirty miles long from east to west
The peninsula of Samana, some nine
miles wide, separates 1t from the sea on
the north. On the south Is the main land
Of tile island This peninsula very nearly
approaches an island, as 1t Is almost sepa-
rated from the land at tho upper or cast
ern extremity of the bay by wide marsh,
which at highest tides Is nearly over
flowed. N Hlr ..D .
The peninsula is chiefly taken up with
q main range from six hundred 10 two
two thousand feet high, and lis numerous
spurs, All arc exceedingly precipitous,
and It is almost impossible to penetrate
the thickets which cover them, except
where are a few bride paths lead. Upon
the south shore Of this peninsula, and
about eight miles within the headlands, Is
the Bay Of Samana proper, which we
have leased as u coaling station. ' }
II Is certAinlyA charming spot. Shut
in,by high hills, and protected from the
gull, by several small Islands and ya reef,
which reach out from u western headland
Il gives the desired security for coaling or
reiltting. Its size disappointed everyone.
II Is about three.quarters ofa milo deep
and two.thirds of q mile wide. But our
ship, n second rate drawing twenty.one
feet, was not able 10 enter the harbor, and,
in TACT, anchored for coaling full mile
of Its mouth. The water Is deep enough
TO allow II TO enter, but there Is hardly
room inside for II to swing OF anchor with
sAfety, Outside this bay, and In tho wat
ers which, al home, are known rs the bay
Of Saniana, there is safe water FOR Ill the
war ships Of tle,world. The liarbor ol
San Francisco is tho onle ony TINT rivals
II upon our own coast.
This bay, Is by common consent the
most important point on the island for the
United States. AS Coaling and renttlng
point II cannot bc cxcellcd, md 1t Is the
only hRrbor where first.ratc vessels can
enter. AS yet II Is filled with reefs, which
eventually would have to DO removed
and there arc many shoals through which
channels would Ihavc 10 be cut The

mana will ono day astonish tax payers i
We take the island. But, when the work
was done, We should have the satisfaction
Oi having tie finest llarbOr In tue West
