RThe refusal of General Slgel to
accept the Secretaryship of the San Do.
mingo Commission is ascribed to con
venient motives by those who failed to
entice him into that trap. The attempt
to conciliate the Germans by this ma
n@nvre discovered itself, and was re.
Jected, as might have been expected
from friend of Carl Schurz. This is
not the first occasion in which the Rad
.icals have recently sought to use Sigel,
after having previously sighted him and
his friends by neglect and indifference.
They would now like to tie him to the
tail of the kite OF San Domingo, hut
thus far the experiment has not succeed
