ADELE IN ANOTHER CHARACTER.

ADELE IN ANOTHER cHARAcTFR
In the afternoon of the same day, and
while Noel Mariowe and his companions
wero still entertaining themselves in the
gardens of thu Crystal Palace. Madame
honcerl:le SAT alone III an elegant cabf-
net, which was one of the elaborate suite
of apa,tments that had occasionally been
occupied by her brother and herself, un-
der tie a,,::ises of Monsieur and Madame
De Maulcen, in Burton Street; not fat
from the most fashionable quar,er OF
London, and to which they had that
morning returned from Jasmine Villa.
There was trace of care upon her
beautiful face, and, though there was IN

attention than the st.eet panorama that

On her maid CHANGING to pass through

"Are there no gns of my brother'P re-

The girl busted herself about the room.

The next person 10 make his appearance
in the cabinet was Diu. the odd little fel'

Adele repea' ed the question which she

similar reply.
"Why do you then disturb me by oom-
in here2" said she, petulantly.

gravest responsibilities as to our new
possessions and precipitated also upon
Them questions as to the right OF way
for isthmian transit. These were, how
ever, left as legacy to the administra'
ton of Mr.. Pierce, under which, in the
month of August, 1854, Captain (atter.
ward GeneraD George B. Mcclellan and
other engineers were sent out IN the
United States flagship Columbus at the
invitation of the Dominican authorities
to survey the bay of samana for the pur.
pose of obtaining sites for naval station
and coal depot. From that day to this
every administration of the Dominican
Government has manifested its desire to
place the fortunes of the little republic
under the protection of the United
States or to make it an integral part OF
the Union.
President Santana was particularly
anxious to negotiate general treaty to
this end, and the 10th of September,
1856, Mr.. Elliot, the United States com.
mercial agent, wrote: 'Iam authorized
to offer the United States Government
not only any location In the Bay OF Sa-
mana for their purpose, but the coal
mines in that harbor, and any other COM
mercial advantages they may require"
The Government of Spain (Which hap
PLY fell with the revolution Of 1859,
following the example of the French in
Mexico, took advantage of the Civil War
in the United States to attempt the res
tcration of its power in San Domingo.
The political and military objects OF this
effort were very palpable. One side OF
the Memo passage being already in their
possession the Bay of Samana would give
them the absolute control of the main
passage to the Caribbean Sea. The at
tempt, however. was abandoned in 1868,
O provisional Government was estab-
lished, and call was made for q con-
vention to frame constitution.
A strong popular feeling in favor OF a
more intimate connection with the United
States now earnestly manifested itself,
and our consular agent in writing to the
State Department referred to the survey
by General Mcclellan in 1854, and said
if the policy of our Government was still
to acquire station at Samana he was
sure it could then be obtained.
Again, he says in his dispatch OF Sep
tember, 1865. "The influence OF our
glorious republic is well-nigh omnipo-
tent here"
Iu 1916 General Cabral was elected
President with great uuauimity, and our
agent said in his dispatch Of September
8: II feel sauguluc that any arrangement
that might be desirable could now be
effected advantagcously." Indeed, the
new Government lost no time in convey
ing to Secretary Seward its willingness
to part with some of its possessi DIS on
the Bay of Samaua. Accordingly in
January, 1867, the Assistant Secretary OF
State, attended by Rear. Admiral Porter,
proceeded to the city of Santo Domingo,
authorized to offer the Dominion Govern
nent So, 900, coo, one.half in cash and
the other half in arms and munitions Of
war, as q consideration for the proposed
Cession.

SAN DOMINGO.
AN IMPORTANT ISLAND IN TILE
WEST INDIES.
1t Contains Two Small Republics-lts
Grand Harhor-Importanc to
This Country of the Bay
OF SamanR.

It is inter esting at this time to consult
the map of the West Indies, and 'espe-
cially the group of the Great Antilles,
with the view of duly approaching the
discovery of Columbus, the questions
arising aud likely to arise from the pene-
tration of the American isthmus, but
particularly the questions arising at this
time from our relations with Haytl and
Dominica. The island upon which these
two republics are situated lies central be-
tween Cuba and Porto Rico, about one
third of it being occupied by the negro
republic and the remainer by the repub-
lie of Dominica. The boundary runs
nearly north and south along q chain OF
mountains from Cape Haytien to the Bay
of Jaquemel.
The Cape st. Nicholas (recently re-
fused to the United States as a coallng
station) is the northwesternmost point OF
the island, and is in Haytian territory.
The Bay of Samana, to which the United
States has been invited, is on the other
extreme, and is in the territory of Do
minica, commanding the Mona passage
the principal channel to the Caribbean
Sea and the Spanish Main. The cape
and town of Isabella, where Columbus
first established himself, is on the north.
ern coast of Dominica, and the city OF
San Domingo, where he finally planted
his colony, where his body was deposited
when it was returned from Spain, and
where it remained 240 years, until finally
taken to Havana, is on the southern
coast.
The Bay of Samana Is beyond doubt
the grandest harbor of the Antillea. 1t
extends some thirty miles from east to
west by nine or twelve from north to
south. The peninsula which forms che
bay is grand promontory, broken into
bilIs ranging from few hundred to
1000 feet in height, exceedingly steep,
very irregular, and interspersed with
narrow sloping valleys; the whole COW
cred with dense growth of underbrush,
vines, and timber, we'll watered by num-
erous mountain streams which sometimes
fall in beautiful cascades. The predom-
inant rock is limestone, generally porous,
but often of such quality as to form a
good building material, and in positions
quite accessible. Schistose rocks also
occur with veins of calcareous spar and
sandstone. Quartz occurs frequently,
and at the extremity of the peninsula an
abundance of mica slate. Bituminous
coal is also found of exceeding richness.
The entrance to the harbor at Samana
for vessels drawing more than eight feet
is contracted to about 1000 yards by o
broad coral reef extending from the
southern shore. At the point north of
this reef are FIVE small islands, the
largest containing about 100 acres, the
smallest mere sandbank. The passage

airy, the Register, In explaining" its
FLOP" OH tho electric light proposition,
does not succeed very we'll. The point
that tho ordinance could not DO framed
to guarantee 10 the city the rights aho
now possesses is not well taken. The
petition OF tho company itself made
every concession that could DO desired.
Granting, however, that 1t did not, ii
members OF Council had been disposed
to treat the proposition fairly. the or
dinanco was before them and could
have been amended in manner such
as would throw every safeguard about
the city's interests. No such consider
alton OF it was given. II there was an
Objectionable feature it could have been
corrected by Council. There was no
disposition shown to put 1t in better
shape; on the contrary, councilmcn
seemed 10 have their minds made up in
advance to reject the ordinance, and
any amount Of concession on the part OF
the company would not have saved it.
The 1SrELLIGEScER's position on the

course now and that which it pursued
during the agitation before the lcgisla-
