New York, Dec 16.-The Herald pub
fishes the full text of the San Domingo |
treaty. and says in regard to IT: "All the
commercial advantages are not only re-
tanned, but every encouragement is given
for the introduction of American manu-
features and industries. Our legal tender
standard of gold and silver is to be the
standard of Domingo, and a tribunal Of
arbitration is TO be constituted for the
settlement OF every dispute which may
arise from such commercial reciprocity.
These are some of the intrinsic merits
Of the treaty but the greater one Is held
in view by the administration, inasmuch
as the harbor of SANTANA will eventually
be the great coaling station OF the Euro
pean worlds new highway of commerce
via Nicaragua to the Pacific, and tbs har-
Dor, it is believed, under the benefits of
such treaty that now awaits ratification,
will be also the site of an American
colony not less important than the ones
which are to grow up at either terminus
of the inter-oceanic canal

the inquest was adjourned. The funeral
of the victims will take place tomorrow,
and the interment will be in the cemetery

cluded that there was no more bodies
buried beneath the debris, they came
upon group Oh six more, all of which
were burned to crisp. This makes six
| teen bodies recovered.
