Our Reciprocity scheme.
New York, Oct. IA curions story
about the United States and reciprocity was
put in circulation in this city to-day. The
governments of Great Britain. Germany
and Italy, SO the story ran, had observed
with a burning jealousy the great adj
vantage which the Americans were reap
ing from the reciprocity treaty with San
Domingo, and had entered into q common
conspiracy to destroy that treaty. Just what
part Great Britain had taken in these ma
neuvers wa not quite plain in the story as
it was given out yesterday, but the deeds OF
Germany were indisputably set forth. Ger
many, it appeared, had offered to Ulysses
Hureaux, president of San Domingo. an
annual brlbe of $50. 600 for hfei he would
declare the reciprocity treaty with the
United States abrofated.
1T Is true said the Domicnian consul here,
'that the countries mentioned have made 9 de-
mand in San Domingo, IN which they claim that
under q clause to be found III former treatieS,
s ssn p Is en,,slet tbs aS a asee OF may az be extended 70
the most favored nation. That being tne case.
San Domingo was naturally alarmed. The at
tiude of Germany was espeosally ,aanser spus:
we were threatened with q duty nave
been fatal to our business. For England and
Italy we did not care so much. Still. u we
should be compelled to accede to the demands
of the triparte, we would have to send all our
sugar to London. For this the United States
would reimpose sugar duties. / wal sent to see
Secretary Foster, and conferred with him on
thu subject. and we had q long talk The
American minister to Hayti, Mr.. Durham and
the German minister to the same country nave
both lett Port Au Prince. and are In conferences
with the nresideut of San Domingo at the
capitol. Each is in communication with his
own govern ent, and l have no doubt That
some satisfactory way out CT the present oim-
Guilty will be decidsd upon."
