The samana Bay DimaIty.

| OF the Saman2 bay company n"7 III
rived here. He says that upon the al
rival Of United States steamer Canaan
daigua, at Samsns Bay April 10Th, be
ascertained that her commander, Cap
tain Lowry, had no! received authority
from the Home Department for forclole
interference. The news OF the Conn
| pany's ejectment had not ther reached
Washington. The vessel remained
few dsys and then sailed away on May
I'd. However, wheu the Cansndalgus
returned DR.. Howe was informed by
the native pilot, first, to leave the ves'
eel, and that Captain Lowry lad sent
for him. The pilot added, hat the
Captain would pull down tine DonlnI-
can flag aud hoist the Conpanys
standard on the following day; that he
had heard the Captain announce this
intention. He had also received let
tie from Captain Lowry in which he
stated that he was prepared toresume
control OF the Peninsula, and II neces-
ssry, OF the whole leland. On reaching
the frigate Dr. Howe was cordially re-
ceived by the Captain, who talked loud
ly OF what he would do, saying tnat his
| instructions justified iorcibIe interier-
ence, and that he could and would leave
force on land to guard Americans and
their property; and Furthermore that
he would 90 TO the capital OF San Do
mingo and bring President GapzaIes to
reason, with hard shot if necessary e.
Lowry offered to land force AZ one
o'clock q. m, the next day, (Sunday)
and CARY out his designs. The news
of Captain Lowrys determination
spread rapidly and caused great excite
ment, which Increased as the hour OF
one o'clock drew nigh. but the csptejn
changed his mind aud made no effort
to keep his promise DR.. Howe !ecelv-
ed letter from Lowry about the tine
the troops were promised, in which he
excused himself for inaction, on the
ground that it WAS the Lords day and
he would do no work. The letter con-
tained various questions, to which DR..
Howe responded, giving the required
Information and urging IorclbIe al
tempt at possession. On May "a Low
~ wrote tha, he had decided to refer
the the matter to the president OF the
Dominican government and therefore lie
would take no steps in the matter just
then. This letter aroused the wrath OF
DR.. Howe, who animadverts on ita
terms with much feeling. Dr.. lowe
states that the DJmnicans were over
joyed at hearing OF Captain Lowry's
resolve to pull down the Douluican flag.
Many OF them have been marked uy
spies and as soon as the vessel leaves
the harbor they will become the OBJ
jects OF governmental persecution: The
company's property was lett In the
care of the United States consular
agent Couard. Dr.. Howe said that
the progress which the company made
was sufficient 10 prove that the whole
OF the Island wonld come 10 the | Cnted
States. The Haytien, English and
German Governments were inlmlcaL to
the scheme because they cav in it the
tn warting OF their hopes. The lac!
that the United States government
leased au island in Stamina bay from
the company might yet be made
bone OF contention between this gov
ernment and that OF Santo Domingo
THIS dispossesaion would lead to the
