that Cabral does not claim TO be the

does not claim to represent the principal

by the fact that in his proclamation
and in communication to the Com
missioners he styles himself Chief OF

foreign intriguers and from the fact
that behind them stands the Haytien

the population Of Dominica, which has
never relented in its aggressive policy
and at whose head is a President ele-
waited by bloody insurrection.


All these difficulties, the Commits

the Dominican Republic be effectually
protected by connection with a strong
nation. In almost all sections OF the
country even the remotest Of the people
were found to be familiar with the
question Of annexation to the United
States, and have discussed it among
themselves with intelligence. They
generally declared their belief that the
strong arm of this Republic, taking
them under their protection as part Of
the nation, would end the efforts and
hopes Of every revolutionary leader and
establish law, order and prosperity.
The public sentiment strongly favora-

For some thirty or forty days the
batture in front of the Bazaar Market
and Red Stores has been gradually
sinking until to-day, just below the
Red Stores, it is seven feet below the
ordinary level and the settlement va.
ries from three to seven feet. The
length of the batture which has thus
sunk is about $50 feet, and the width
120, and there is no telling when il
will stop. The City Surveyor has
made borings to Investigate the strata,
with view to the construction of q
work that will prevent any further
sinkage, but has not been able to find
any strata sufficiently firm to guaran-
tee the permanence of any work.


At a depth of fifty feet nothing
more stable was found than sand, with
a very slight mixture of clay, and just
now the Surveyor is in a quandary as
to what is best to be done.

way, but not to such an extent, the

SHrPLEY MINE.--On this mine work is steadily

man. new shat has been sunk and fr)m it a
drift along the ledge is being run TO the old
Stirger shaft, where the mine is ten feet wide
and rich. This shaft will be reached in some
twenty Or thirty feet more, The air in the old
shaft is so bad that it cannot be worked until a
current Of fresh air is got through it from the
new shaft and drift. When this is effected which
will be in week or two, the mine will furnish
all the quartz the ten stamp mill belonging to the
same company can work The size of the ledge
and convenient location of the mill enables the
company to mine and mill the quartz at total
cost of only four dollars per ton, and many
crushings from the ledge has yielded as high as
$50 and $50 per ton.

DILLON MINE The shaft on this mine is now
down 60 feet and at this point the ledge, four
feet wide, Is square in the bottom OF the shaft,
with wei defined wall rock. The pumps, hoist
ing works and everything about the mine is in
complete order. The owners Dillon oowan
Hines, have just had fifty tons OF the rock mllied
at the Green Emigrant mill which yielded S29
per ton. This is big yield for any ledge but
when we consider the amount OF rock that can be
taken from a four foot ledge we confess the mine
has prospective value that could not be easily
reckoned in dollars and cents.
