New York, Oct. "A curious story
about the United States and reciprocity was
put in circulation in this city to-day. The
governments of Great Britain. Germany

with a burning jealousy the great ad-
vantage which the Americans were reap
ing from the reciprocity treaty with San
Domingo, and had entered into common
conspiracy to destroy that treaty. just what
part Great Britain had taken in these ma
neuvers was not quite plain in the story as
1t was given out yesterday, but the deeds o
Germany were indisputably set forth. Ger
many, it appeared, had offered to Ulysses
Hureaux, president of San Domingo. an
annual bride of $50, 600 for life if he would
declare the reciprocity treaty with the
United States abrogated.
