NAVAL STATIONS.
Negotiations With San Domingo for One
on Samana Bay.

Negotiations With San Domingo for One
on Samana Bay.
New YORK, May 25.-A Washington
special says: The question of naval
stations in the West Indies is being very
seriously discussed by the government.
The failure of the negotiations for the
mole of ST. Nicholas will probably result
in an attempt to obtain the desired priv
ileges on the eastern side of the island
from the government of San Domingo.
1t is perhaps not generally known that
Admiral Gherardi left Port-Au Prince
four weeks ago under cable orders to go
direct to Samana bay and examine into
its fitness for a coaling station,
and that while there General Hear
neux, President San Domingo, came from
San Domingo City in his yacht, and
was closeted with the admiral for sew
eral hours. There is no doubt that the
subject of conversation was the estab-
lishment of naval station on Samana
bay, and that the price is the friend
ship and moral support of the United
States in the present difficulty between
San Domingo and Hayti. 1t is too early
to say that the United States govern
ment will receive the proposition favor
ably, but Secretary Tracy is very much
in earnest, and the late action of the
Haytien government has created feel
ing which is far from friendly to Hayti.
1t is thought that, as between the two
republics, preference will be given to
San Domingo.

Southern Pacific Supplies to Be Bought

Southern Pacific Supplies to Be Bought
in Los Angeles.
G. P. Huntington's last visit to Los
Angeles was worth it seems just about
half million dollars year to the mer-
chants OF this city.
General Passenger and Freight Agent
Crawley, of the Southern Pacific, has
long been trying to get Mr.. Huntington
to order that supplies for the Southern
Pacific road south OF Mojave be pur-
chased in this city. At the magnates
last visit Mr. Crawley made strong
argument in favor of the matter, and a
few days ago Mr.. Huntington issued in
structions to Mr.. r. Stevenson, the
company's purchasing agent, to spend
half his time in Los Angeles, and to
purchase from the merchants here the
supplies needed for the southern sys-
tenn. The articles needed embrace
nearly all lines of merchandise and pro-
duce, and in the past have averaged be-
tween $400, 900 and $500, 1000 year.

A Missing Bay City Man Discovered

SAN Francisco, May 25.-Joseph w.
Moore. a well-known carpenter of this
CITY, this morning received letter from
James Mitchell, fellow workman who
mysteriously disappeared from here in
March, 1889, and who has long been
mourned as dead by his family. Moore
said the Leslie exploring party found
about fifty miles up the Yukon river,
in frozen and crippled condition. He
told them he was induced to 60 aboard
of the whaler Melbourne in San Fran
cisco, to see friend, and that he was
locked in room and fed for four days,
after which he was compelled to do work
before the mast, something to which he
was wholly unaccustomed. For every
mistake he was most cruelty beaten.
