Tag DELEGATION DIVIDED.
The delegation which goes "a. the ma
tonal convention is understood TO be
atout equally composed of personal fol-
towers Of Cleveland and Gray, although
each faction naturally claims TO have O
majority OF the thirty delegates. The
understanding seems to be cordial and
sincere that the delegation shall cast its
solid vote for Grover Cleveland on the first
ballot, but that the minute the convention
turns its attention 20 dark horses" Isaac
GRAY is 10 receive the entire vote OF the
delegation as the favorite son Of Indiana.
THE SURPRISE or THE DAT
was the defeat Of John G. Shankiin. OF
Evansville, for the nomination for Gov
ernor. He had been steadily IN the lead
until yesterday, and, as he had pronounced
emDhatically IN favor of Cleveland. his
friends hoped that the great Cleveland
sentiment IN the convention would carry
nm through. The result, however, Snow
ed that each Of the other three candidates.
all of whom were neutral on the presi-
dental question, drew away many OF the
Cleveland delegates. while the Gray peo-
pie. on account OF Shanklin's hostility 10
their candidate. were against him TO man.
Nye, nominated for Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, was the lowest in the balloting Tor
Governor. The greatest contest. as well
as the greatest surprise Of the day, was on
the governorjhIp. Everything else went
smoothly, as was anticipated.

Secretary Tracy Too III to Consider the
Matter just Yet.
The Washington correspondent of the
DESPATCH sent the following special to TINS
paper last night:
II was learned to-day at the Navy De-
psrtment that the object OF the Secretary
of the Navy in returning TO the court tne
proceedings In the case OF COMMANDER
Graham some days ago was TO secure re-
vision of the sentence and not to correct Q
mere informality IN the record as o. nrs'
reported.
After reading the summary OF the evi;
dence prepared by the Judge-Advocate OF
the court, Secretary Tracy Is uDder.
stood to have come to tho conclusion that
the sentence was altogether too light IN
view of the evidence presented, and ne
therefore decided to return it for recon-
sideration. 1t is rumored that the sem
tence of the court as at first recorded was
for q suspension for the period OF one
year or thereabouts. The court imme-
diately took action IN response 70 tne
Secretary's direction and reported 70 MIN
the result of that action, but it cannot yet
be learned whether tho sentence was
changed.
matter has not yet been officially acted
upon at the department, and the finding, OF
the court is carefully guarded from public
scrutiny, the papers being locked up, ID the
desk OF the Judge-Adyocate General until
the secretary resumes duty. but the gene
raj belief in the department Is that In ITS
revision OF the sentence the court In
creased the period of suspension.

UNCLE SAM NOT BUYING REPUBLICS
A Story from Amste rdam About San DO
minro Denied in Washington.
LBY teIegraph 10 the Dlspatch.l


WASHINGTON. ID. c., April 21.-A cable
gram from Amsterdam printed in the New
York Herald to-day states that information
hAsroached the Herald correspondent there
of the virtual sale of the island republic OF
San Domingo TO private company IN the
United States. the sum agreed upon beng
fixed at SO 5O0,00 in per cent: deben-
lures, secured on the revenue, from TO-
bacco, &c. This concession, the Herdtd
dispatch saws. has been sold by Messrs.
Westerndorif, the well-known bankers OF
Amsterdam and the representatives OF the
San Domingo bondbolders. :.
At present nothing remains, according
to the story, but the signatures OF tue
American representatives to complete the
transaction aud secure TO the United States
this most important harbor and coaling
station. The holder OF this concession
practically rules the republic, because he
paws the officials and receives the revenue
from the tobacco monopoly.
The statement is also made by the Herald
that the scheme has been approved by
Secretary Blame. and is supported by
Messrs. Gould and ID. Ogden Mills. 1t IS
intimated that the private company re-
ferred to is virtually the United states
Government, which in this manner mas
become now and forever the master OF San
Domingo.
NOT CREDITED IN WASHINGTON.
No credit is gwen by officials and others
here to the story. The thing Is considered
absurd. All officials deny or ridicule IL.
1t NAV be that some Americans have
been purchasing concessions OF some sort,
but that the United States Is trying to ac-
ouire possession of San Domingo is de-
MED. 1t is pointed out that 1t Is not pro-
bable that this government, would enter
into a scheme TO pay large sum OF
money for this place. when but a
few wears ago il was refused as git.
When President Grant wanted TO have
San Domingo annexed, and commission
was sent there, about 80 per cent. OF the
people of San Domingo voted for annexa.
tion to the United States. The. people OF
that country were eager to be taken under
the wing or the American eagle, but the
United States would not agree to take the
country as gift.
Ii was stated here to-day that both
Messrs. Gould and Mills denied the story
so far as they were concerned.
State Department officials say that they
do not know of any reported pending ne
eotlatiations for the purchase of San Do
mingo. and that they do not believe the
report 10 that effect printed III the New
York DADer.

report that the King of Jebu. who controls

ness IN Lagos. The natives on the gold

trouble between France and Dahomey and
the now threatened rising against the

REBATES ON SUGAR.
An Unsuccessful Effort to Secure Exten-
sion of the System.
[By telegraph to the Dispatch.l


NEw YORK, April 21.-Wholesale grocers
from various States and the managers OF
the sugar-refners' combination have been
in conference IN this city this week.
Among the cities represented at tue meet
ing were Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Balti-
more. Richmond, Norfolk, Boston, Roches-,
ter. Albany, Wilmington, and several
Others. The chief discussion was as to
the adyisability of requesting an ex-
tension OF the rebate system. 1t
seemed to be the general impression that
ARRANGEMENTS could be easily made with
tine trust, A committee was appointed to
wait upon the Sugar Trust and obtain the
best terms possible. They were instructed
TO request either 1sc or &c. per pound,
but the understanding seemed to be that
they were 10 get &c. If possible. Later
the committee called on the American
Suoar Refnerles Company. The trust
people would not agree to extend the re-
bate system III operation In New iork
and vicinity and certain parts OF
New England, and they declined 10 con-
slider at all d rebate OF "A cent per pound.
The committee were informed that the
present Is not considered by the trust an
opportune time TO make such general
arrangement as the grocers desired. Inc
sugar people asked that further considera-
ton OF the matter on their part be post
poned for the present. Most OF the
erocers left town, therefore, feeling tna'
their mission had been q failure.
