San Domingo and Cuba.

We find the following in the Alta Of the I'd inst:
NEW YORK. August Information disclOses the
fact that for some days past agents of the insurgent
leaders in san Domingo have been in the city pur-
chasing arms. and the recent shipment of q thou
sand stand has been made to a point within the con-
troll of the Tevolutionists. The opposition to Baez
is said TO be daily growing stronger through the
objection of the Dominicans to the SANTANA Bay
Company, which, it is alleged, has failed to fulfill
any Of the promises for the Improvement of the ter
ritory conceded and it is only occupied in strip
ping the country of its valuable products and eX-
porting them. without making any return in the
form of new buildings. local improvements or other
works designed to aid and advance the material
progress Of the country. In the battle OF the 18th
of June, at CarocO, according to private advlces,
Baez's troops left 100 men upon the field, and since
the battle assertions from the army are frequent.
KEY WEST, August Mail advices from Ha-
vana. to July 18th. contain the following: THE
Government has obtained possession of an import
ant document revealing the clandestine labors Of
the Carlists in this Province.

Two CAUSES OF CRLME.-An exchange. in COM
menting on the Sharkey trial, in New York, attrib-
utes most Of the crimes there to two causes, which
usually 60 together-Whisky drinking and pistol
shooting. Two presumptions, it is argued, are OBJ
vious to this. The man who drinks to intoxication
voluntarily places himself in a condition which incites
easily aud recklessly to crime. The carrying of a
pistol is Of itself p~urposely and deliberately to be
prepared for murder, and the throwing Of the burden
of proof upon the prosecution that a criminal COM
mitted murder intentionally and with malice, is
wrong. The Sharkey case was as follows: Sharkey
was in a common drinking shop one evening where
he met Dunn. Sharkey was stupidity drunk, and
was armed with q pistol. A quarrel occurred. Shar-
key whipped a pistol out, and in q minute Dunn was
a dead man. The moral Of it is this
Sbarkey voluntarily provided himself with the
means of committing murder, should an opportunity
occur, and moreover deliberately put himself into a
condition of mind and body wherein the death of a
fellow-being assumed about the same Importance in
his eye as the death of a fly If he happens to escape
punishment under such circumstances, then society
is at the mercy of a man who chooses to preface
murder with a debauch-

they are now in full retreat, pursued by the
Spanish troops.
New York, &c. A Key West despatch re-
ports the arrival there Of the U. S. steamer
Kansas, she having left Santiago de Cuba on
Sunday. The Canandigua arrived at Santi-
ago on Friday and is now the only United
States ship in that port. The officers of the
Kansas report that they were we'll treated
ashore, the soldiers and sailors being careful
to observe the salute. There are two regi-
ments at Santiago, one Cuban and the other
volunteers. The former appear friendly and
conciliatory, and the latter insolent and OPP
posed to every concession.
Mail advices from Cuba are that great
drought prevails in the neighborhood of Sagua
la Grande, and the crops of corn, rice and
vegetables are completely lost. 1t will also
materially influence the crops of the sugar
estates that have no cane eft over from last
year, as the growth of rattans and newly
planted cane has been too much retarded.
A Havana letter states that the reason for
the demise of the Republican journals there

fuegos on the passage from Santiago de Cuba
to Manzanillo, and nothing has since been
heard from him. His baggage was on board
the steamer on her arrival at Manzanillo, and
was delivered by the captain to the U. S.

Havana agent of the Associated Press have
enquired by telegraph and mail in all direc
tons for the missing man, but without result.
1t was at first supposed that Keeler had been

Cincinnati, &c. strike of the engineers
and firemen on the Pan Handle r. II. COM
menced here at noon to-day. The strike is
against reduction of 10 per cent. in wages
from the first Of the present month. Since
noon two passenger trains and all the freight
trains on the Pan Handle road were unable to
leave this city. 1t is reported that all the
branches of the Pan Handle and Pennsylvania
Central roads are affected simultaneously by
the strike.
The Pan Handle officers are doing all they
can to keep the trains running. The railroad
shops in the eastern part of the city are
stopped, to allow the mechanics to take the
places of the striking engineers. Out of the
seven passenger trains to leave this city this
afternoon, four went out and three had to re-
main. Nothing better is expected for to-mor-
row. Up to midnight no freight train since
noon had left. The officers Of the road hsd
no knowledge of the strike until noon, the
hour appointed for the strike to begin. They
had vague rumors of contemplated strike,
which came last night, but gave no indica-
lions of the time when it was to begin, and
they were not credited.
Dispatches from other points report stimuli
taneous strikes on all the branches of the

Columbus, &c. The strike of the engineers
and fremen of the Pan Handle II. r. and the
leading lines west of Pittsburgh to-day, re-
suited in general stoppage of trains, none
leaving this point since noon. An associated
press reporter interviewed q delegation of en-
gineers tonight and was assured that all they
want is the restoration of the wages paid pre-
vious to December first. They also declare
that they will not ntefere with any one who

from Dennison o-night by master Of trans
portation. Just as the engine pulled in the
depot here, Simmons was struck on the head
with stone thrown by some unknown per-
son, but was not much injured. The engi
neers say they are POSITIVE that this was not
done by any of their men. The engineers
further say that this strike is made only after
two respectful protests against the reduction
had been sent to the directors without accom-
plshins anything they sought. The depot is
full Of freight and passenger trains, and much
Inconvenience to the travelling public must
result unless the matter is speedily adjusted.
ID. w. Caldwell, superintendent of all the
lines west of this point, states that on Dec.
lst reduction of 10 per cent. was made on
all the salaries of all the officers and attaches
of these lines, and that the engineers and fire.
men are the only parties who have not &C.
ceded ID the arrangement.
