Washington The purchase of SANTANA Bay
by a New York company elected no little sur
prise here to-day when the news was confirm
ed, and friends of the Administration pointed
to the result as a confirmation of the wisdom of
the Presidents recent policy for the annexa-
ton of Santo Domingo. administration Off
Gals, however, since the publication in I" The
World of December 7, have taken pains to
learn more of the project, and, while having no
direct connection with it, are understood to
warmly favor it, believing as they do that it is
but a step to the final annexation of the island
to the United States. The new company,
therefore, who have received extraordinary
concessions from the Dominican Government,
will have the moral support of this Government
and its physical protection, if need be, for the
life and property of Americans on the island Of
Santo Domingo.

WE have received from two residents of

To THE EDITOR OF ST. THOMAS TIDENDE.
Mr.. Editor
That Geo. A. Phillips should place himself
on the ranks of our oppressors, is so natural,
as a consignee merchant, that we were not in
the least surprised on seeing the article in your

Your said correspondent says that he had a
conference with two Caulkers, (and singularly
enough they we're chosen by Mr.. Hughes for
the purpose) two of the most humble among
US, incapable Of even expressing themselves,
as regards giving any decision, and these he
calls as our representatives in order to give
weight to his assertiOns-we would simply ask
why were the true representatives of the Caul-
kers not sent for ? the two foremen Caulkers
We are the said foremen under whose
direction the Caulkers work, and have
therefore the right to deny that any stress
can be- truthfuIly laid on such conference.

falsehoods, but "truth and Justice require it,
while WI repeat again, We are willing and rea-
dy to prove all we have said and now assert.

A Convenient Way to Measure
Land.

It's frequently desirable to measure
/ a given plat of ground or a portion of
field, and a simple method, such as
the following, for which we are in.
debted to an exchange, will be of use
to many of our readers. Surveyors
are not always at convenient dis
lance to attend to such little jobs; and
even when they do reside in the imme-
date vicinity, one does not always
care to incur the expense incident to
such a small job. If the lines are al
ready established, the plat can be
measured. with sufficient accuracy for
all practical purposes by means OF a
neat rod-pole, madesas follows: Pro
cure stick OF pine, white-wosd, bass
wood, or almost any other timber, one
and a half inches square and sixteen
and a half feet long. Dress each end
tapering from the middle, SO that the
Pole will be one and a half inches
square at the middle and about half
an inch square at each end. Such
pole will be light and quite stiff. Now,
graduate one side with the marks rep
resenting feet and inches, and gradu-
ate another side to indicate survey
or's links: A pole one rod i'll leugth
must be equal to twenty-five links. TO
divide one side correctly, let a mechan-
les compass be adjusted, SO that the
points will divide the distance into
twenty five equal spaces or links. A
line can be measured with such pole
nearly as accurately as with a survey
or's chain.
Now, then, if person does not I'M
derstand how to multiply chains and
links, let him compute the measure
ment by square feet. In one acre there
are 43, 400 square feet. Any intelligent
school boy can measure the length and
the breadth of a square plat, multiply
one by the other, and divide the pro-
duct by 1850, which will give the
number of acres, and the number of
square rods representing the fraction
of an acre. IF it is desirable to meas
IRE triangular plat, two sides of
which lie at right angles, measure
these two sides, multiply the distance
in feet one by the other, and divide
the product by two, which indicate the
number of spare feet, by 1850, and
the quotient will represent the number
Of acres.

MRS. SWIssHELM claims that the
educated Indians who return to their
tribes become vagabonds. "Hole-in-
the Day" permitted his son and heir to
be taught in a mission school at st.
Paul, where he became a good English
scholar and dandy. The Government
built him a six-room frame cottage,
which his tribe finally burned, but in
which he lived many years of elegant
leisure with his six wives, who used te
raise a, crop of corn and other vegeta-
bles, weave mats, and keep my lord
comfortable. He always had plenty
of money given him by the Govern
ment, and when he travelled, he went
in style, would attend church in st.
Paul with the most fashionable and
aristocratic lady on his arm, sit in the
front pew, and dine with the Governor.
On his last visit to Washington he got
$4,000 and a seventh wife, and was
more than ever the pet of the Govern
ment and people who now propose to
drive the Mormons out of Utah for
having more wives than one.
