ST. DoMNao-DEFEAr OF THE INSURGENTS -
We have a special despatch from St Domingo
announcing total defeat of the insurgents
aiming to overthrow the government Of
Baez; that Garcia has rejoined Baez that
Monte-Christi has been retaken that
schooner laden with ammunition has been
captured, and that Luperon has fed over the
border to Hayti. With these decisive results
in his favor Baez will, doubtless, be permitted
at least brief season Of repose from revolu-
tionary enterprises. But after the lapse Of o
month or two we shall probably hear that,
with formidable force of four Or five hun
dred men, Luperon is in the field again, and
that Baez, for the twentieth time. is in danger
Of being overthrown. In the meantime the
commercial company which some time ago
entered into contract with Baez for the re-
vival of the industry and trade Of the Do
minican Republic appears to be doing moth
ing. 1t may, however, have been actively in
strumental in securing these late successes OF
Baez as indispensable to the safety of the
company but if so Baez has, we apprehend,
the best side Of the bargain.

by the institutions there is little doubt
but the banks will be able to stand
by themselves, beyond chance Of failure, in

George Francis Train Insane.

DIR. William Hammond and DR.. Cross
were requested by District-Attorney Philips
to examine into the sanity of the murder
ers Bleakley and Leahy, and also of George
Francis Train, now in the Tombs at New
York. DR.. Hammond, in his report, SAYS
that George Francis Train is certainly in
sane. His conversation is disconnected,
and he is the victim Of the most preposterous
decisions. He declared in the presence of
the physicians that when he returned from
Europe be expected to be elected President
Of the United States, but now he was con-
WINGED that the people of the country were
corrupt, and that it was going to ruin. He
would not accept the Presidency now, but
would be dictator, and the streets of New
York would run with blood. DR.. Ham
mond, when asked if he did not think that
Trains utterances were made for effect,
replied that he had taken that view into
consideration, but from close examination
was convinced that Train believed what he
said.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CHESTER
FIELD.-The Petersburg Appeal of this
morning contains the following: "Last
Friday the woods along or near the line of
the Richmond and Petersburg railroad took
fire from pile of brush which was being
burnt near by. The gale of Saturday
added to its speed, and on Sunday it had
covered an area of about six miles, be-
tween Swift creek and Chester Station.
About one hundred and fifty cords of cut
wood were destroyed, together with all the
fencing in its course, and one telegraph
pole, belonging to the Southern Atlantic
telegraph company. The destruction of
this pole necessitated the suspension of
business on the line, and the company
yesterday transacted its business over the
line of the Western Union company. The
fire at one time assumed such proportions
as to threaten the destruction of more val
liable property, and the most strenuous
efforts were called into exercise to con-
fine it. 1t was raging yesterday, but
within such limits as to render all appre-
hension of serious danger unnecessary
