D. C. , April 2fl. Sherman
r.ald tbo comraitn on foreign relations had
decided that tbe existing Chinese exclusion
legislation will not expire until 19W. there
fore there was no immediate need for action
on the question.
Morran' * Mlver resolution was then taken
tip and Teller addressed tbo senate. Mr.
Teller said : "We are told nnw a question
thut affected tbe welfare aud prosperity of
tbo whole country was no ot buch import
ance nnd consideration ns was tbo question
of having n certain man of one political
part3- elected ai chief executive for the nest
four years. That Influence bus been felt in
the bcnnto und felt in other places. Tbe re
volt ugnlnct tbe republican party in 1SSO wus
not ugnlnut tariff legislation , but against cur
rency 1'jfislation. Tuo great metropolitan
journals of tbo republican party had made
tbo ussBrtlon that the president would veto
a free silver bill ttao principal claim for the
nomination of the present incumbent. Tbev
had represented thut the president blood like
n wall against the wibhes of the bouse and
senate on tbe Bilver question , and that while
tbo people mitrht gut wild und while the sen
ute ( supposed to bo the most conservative
body In tho-world ) might lose ita judgment ,
the president , wr.b greater patriotism , with
gieater intelligence , with greater devotion to
the interests of the countrv , stood us the
bafeguurd tor Wall Ktrcet und its money bugs.

"No man could doubt that executive influ
ence hud been durluc tbe last veur tbo po
tent influence which governed republican
representatives in tbe bouse. He had been
for fifteen years nn observer of tbe power of
federal putromice. Tbe silver bill lucked a
tmijoritj in the bouse today because the dem
ocratic pnrtv was afraid that it the demo
crats in the bouse should put themselves on
record on tbo question of free eoinuco the
b'ate of New York would cast its votes for
tlit-republican party. He knew whereof he
| > eke when he haul the nanks of New York
City had organized theniEcl ves for tbe purpose
of defeating silver legislation. He ventured
tosny thut there wns not n national bunk in
the country that hnd not been appealed to by
tbut organization to contribute funds und in
fluence to tbe defeat of silver legislation ' '
C'jUilui ; to the political aspect of the ques
tion. Mi. Teller nsUod what was to bo the re
lation of the republican party to the question
of currenev as applied to silver. A republi-
euu administration hud besn elected on a
platform that had buen carefully aud delib-
eiately prepared und that declared tbo re
publican partv iv at , iu favor of tbo use of
both gold and silver us a monev uud con-
drmr. ) d the policv of the democratic ud min
is ! rullun in its efforts to demonetize silver.
Wasn't lutrroKted lu Silver.
"Many republican senators from tbe west
had oeeii s.o confiding us to actually believe
thut the platform adopted iu Chicaco had
mount whatitt-tld. That they had tnoucht
tbut the republican party was jn fuvor of kll-
ver as money. "Would any bane man sny to
him that bllver could be used as money in
the broud sense of the term if the mints were
pot opened to it as to gold" ! Thny had
thought the republican party actually con
demned tbe course of tbe late democratic nd-
ministrutioti in its efforts to repeal the
Bland act. Colorado had stood third in tbo
llbt of republican btates for tbe present ex-
ucuttve In every campaign in that state it
hud boon proclaimed that the republican
purtj WPS tue party of silver. Tbe dcmo-
rratlc nurtv , In deference to its candidate
nud to bU known hostility to silver , had
not dtred to speak ou tbe subject. The
oi.ly difference they could learn of was whoa
u lUstitiguished mctnocr of tbe committee ou
resoluiions in the democratic convention was
asked bv n member of thu Colorado delega
tion as to what was the plan k aboutjsilvcr und
his icpl > wns , 'Ctmti silver. '
They hud believed that they had at least
reached tbo point where tbe republican party
was in favor of financial ruhet to the people
by the utilizing of the great output of btlver
on equal terms with gold. But when they
caine bore In December in t they were met
with u proposition for tbe purchase of silver
bullion a proposition for mauit.g tbe United
btates treasury the agent through which sil
ver could pass into India and tbut wns ni ;
there wus of it. They hud been told by the
fnuuds of the administration that if thev did
pot accept they would got nothing We
made the light for lice coinaco here in tbu
oody , uud wo won.'e lost it in the other
body , although 1 never have douoted , nor do
1 believe that ntiyouo else bus doubted , that
there wns n clear majority lu that house in
fever of Irue coinage , uud that it was onlj
restrained from expressing its wish by undue
and improper executive interference. We
made ti light for the best thing we could got.
We got out little of what we wanted , uud yet
we got something that is better than noth
ing , and we got that because the executive
knows , because tbo opponents of free silver
in this- chamber know , thut if wo did not get
that wo should present to the executive a
Ires coinage uill which he would be compelled
uithor to rfign or veto.

"My attention hns been called , becotidly ,
to bouio public utterances in reference to
which I desire to make u statement. There
came from tbe hojse of the last congress u
inli which has boon commonly dubued tbo
'force bill. ' It was an election law. 1 was
u member of luo majority of the committee
to which it was referred. 1ithout my vote
that bill eould not have gone to the senate. I
contented that it might bo reported , but J
reserved the right to move any amendment
to it uud propose any modification of u de
claring that as it thun stood n would not re
ceive my vote. Neurlv two years buvo unco
cltpsod. 1 have read the bill with care uud
attention moro than twenty times , und 1 rc-
peut now , thul if it is presot.ted to mo now
with tbe alternative of partv support or
partv dismissal , 1 bbnuld not vote for the
bill. A more infamous bill , in my judgment ,
never passed the threshold of the doors of tbe
scimte. Avowedly in tbo intercut of good
government it u us instigated iu tny judc-
inent by men whose Interest it w us to pre

Texox , has reported to General Srlioflela tbat
the grand Jurv of Davull county. Terns , has
ignored the charges made Rgaiust the United
States troops and state troops in coonuction
with the Hawa campaign. Tne grand Jury
reported that they hnd investigated tbe
charpts and found absolutely nothing in
them. General Stanley also forwaruod a
copy of a letter written to him by Captain
McNnal of company E , state troops , saying
that be bad psraoaaUy invcuticated the
charges made against Captain J. D. Bourke
of the Third cavalry and found each charge
to be false and malicious , having originated
in every case with Gar/a's men nnd sympa
thizers and mcu who love the Mexicans for
tbelr votes.
Tbe Recrstarjt. of stntn hns received a dis
patch from Minister Charles Emer/ Smith
at St Petersburg dated the 1st instant , re

among other things : "I am very deeply
touched by the Interest and kindness which
tbe people of tbe United States ure showing
in setiding sh.p loads of flour to my suffer.ng
people. Those offerings ara great nnd gen-
brous , they indicate a svmpathy and friend

information bus readied the Herald in re
gard to one of the most sensational utid re
markable international transactions which
has beau known for many years , and which
cannot fail to make a grest stir in England
and Germany. TUo transaction consists of a
virtual sale of the island republic of San
Domingo to a private company in tbo United
Status , the sum agreed upon being fixed at
$ 59:1,090 : in 5 par cout debentures , secured
ontboievonue from tobuoeo , otc. The con
cession had been sold by Messrs. Westorn-
dorfl. tbo well known bunkers of this city ,
nud the representatives of tbe San Domingo
bondholders.
At present nothing remains but the Btgnn
tures of tbe American representatives to
complete tbo transaction anJ secure to the
United Slate * this most important harbor
and coaling station. The bolder of this con
cession practically lulos the republic , b >
cause be pays tbo officials and rocoivcs tbo

J'ut Through Uapldly.
A striking feature , however , is the stute-
mentvhlch ib made that the scheme has
been approved and endorsed by Secretary
Blaine and ii.bupp3rl.od Dy Messrs. Gould
and Dr. Ojrdon Mais. It is also btated thit
these gentlemen arc going to spring it upon
tbe United Slates us a campaign weapon ,
somewhat upon the same lines as those on
w iich Bouconsfield secured control of tbo
Suez canal for England. The transaction
bus been mshod through with unprecedented
rapiditv , all the details baring boon arranged
in fourteen days.
On top of tais coaos the rapart tha t Mln
istor Phelps at Berlin has officiillv inter
vened in the action of Germany in San D >

snubbatt by the under secretary of foreign
affairs , who is quoted as having said thct he

sessed protectorate poxvers over tbe republic
of San Domingo. Barou ron Olegar , the
London company promoter , together with
his solicitor , Mr. Wilson Thomas , is await
ing tbo arrival ot the American bignataivE.

This picturesque seaport is In n terrible
state ol excitement over the complete rout
of the government troops on April H , At
sundown on that date Pulacio's nrn.y made
its final nud it.tilo attempt to dislodge a
force of insurgents under command of Gen
eral Mora , who were entrenched at u spot
Just bsyond Polito. 1 wice the government
soldiers bad uttacKod tbo enemy and failed
to drive them from their nositlon. Disoou r-
ngod over tlioir ill success , Palacio's troops
showed elgns of panic , but under tbo stirring
appeals of their loader they rallied and again
charged tbe foe.
Tno encounter was brief but furious.
They were defeated nil along the line , and
turning fled in every direction. The insur
gents followed in hot pursuit and did not
abandon it uutil tbo terror stricken govern
ment troops were well on the road to this
town.
Jinny Itrad nnil Dytnc u tinrirld. .
There were many dead , dying and wounded
left upon tbo battloilold. Some of them
were rebels , but the large majority were fol
lowers of Palacio.
The government soldiers did not etop to
carry their dond and injured from the tceno
of their rout but Btraccled into Puerto Ca-
belle , startling tbe whole town with tholr
Etor.v of complete defeat. Tbe excitement
their presence caused was further height
ened by ths arrival of a train tbe nest morn
ing bearing eleven dond or wounded soldiers.
Those had been picked up on tbo field alter
the insurgents bad retired.
Nothing definite could he learned as to tbe
exact number of tbo slain , but it is officially-
announced that the government lost one-
third of its force in the encounter. Of this
lois by far the greater portion was caused
hy desertions. As soon as Paiacio's men
savi that they were overcome many of them
threw down their arms and went oves-to the
enemy. This is just what the authorities
have been fearing all along. The govern
ment troops uro poorly fed and paid and
greatly discontented. A large proportion of
them are ut heart sympathizers with the
revolutionists. They only await tbe oppor
tunity to desert.
rorcoil Into thr Knnlcs of the Army.
The news of the battle's result spread tar-
ror throughout Puerto Caoello. It was al
most immediately followed by a general con-
fccnptlon order. The town has 9OOD inhabi
tants. Every able-bodied mau among thoa
hns been forced into military berrica. No
one has boon allowed to cscano duty. The
shops , warehouses , , mole , wharves ,
' ' '
custom bouses , postoBcg nnd in'a'nu-
fautorioi have been visited nnd
every clerk , drayman , dock laborer and
stevedore compelled to quit work at once and
enroll himself in the ranks of Palnclo'b de
fenders. This Btato of affairs naturally hus
bad the effect of almost Daralyzins the enure
commerce of the port. The stores have all
been closed , there being no one to conduct
their business , the Dublin gardens are de
serted. Women keep within doots , not dar
ing to venture out , except when absolutely
compelled to do 50.
The French steamer which arrived the
other day from Marseilles on its way to the
Isthmus was unable to load tbo imports in
tended for Venezuela , nnd had to proceed on
its way with the goods. A German steamer
bad begun discharging railway material be
fore the news of the figbl reached Puerto
Cabello , but as soon as tne official order to
conscript every one was issued work on the
vessel bad to bo suspended. The force loft
to handle the coffee crop is so small us to ba
altogether insufficient.
The government , immediately upon being
notified of tbe defeat of its troops , ordered
detachments from all points to this town.
Jlf'lnlort'rim'iitK fur J'jihicla.
The day after the battle reinforcements of
l\S'J \ men arrived from Vulencla , which is
twenty miles to tbo southeast of Puerto Ca-
D9lio , und from La Gunyra. Other small
bodies are coming into town daily ftom other
points. As soon as they urnve they are sent
to the front.
Every one here is cxpscting that Puerto
Cabello will be attacked at any moment bv
tbe revolutionists People are hurrying from
town to places of safety , taking with them
their movable property. Such ol the mili
tary us buve not beeu sent to the front are in
the large garrisoned fort and barracks ready
10 bo called out ut tbe first indication of tue
euemy'b advance.
Grimm ] Mora's I'luiih.
It is probahlo that General Mora will not
at present attempt the capture of Puerto Ca
bello.
If such bad boon his intention he would
undoubtedly have advanced on the heels ot
the routed government army. In ull likeli
hood he will remain whuro he now in at
Merit und Punt-a Cbunoz , two impor'ant
points , and endeavor to dold them , auamto
all effort * of tbo government to drive him
away. In this position be is enabled to land
arm * and munitions of war. and to forward
them to General Crespo via Uruma. Mjmtal-
bauo and Tucuryelo.
Considerable of tbe equipment of the rebel
forces hus already been forwarded over this
route , but more Is expected. When the last
consignment of urms end ammunition baa
been put in Crespo's possession Mora will
abandon bis present pu&l of vantage.
Whether or cot be will then attack Puerto
Cubello is problematical. Most probablv ha
will join tomes with Crespa ana the com
blncd rebel trrny will tbeu begin its advance
upon Caracas.
