June 5.—Twelve of the t wenty odd prisoners in the New Han- ver county jail, seven of them under final sentence, made their escape this torning between 12 and 1 o’clock. They are all colored and were confined in a cage together. One of the number feigned sickness, and when Jailer Ed Capps, who had been aroused from his sleep, went to hand one of them a glass containing medicine through the cell door, they made a rush upon him anil choked him down. The negroes then fled out through the residential portion of the building. Five other colored prisoners in the same cell did not care to es cape, or could not find their way out in the darkness. The senate seems to be of the opin ion that a Monrooless Monroe doc trine would just about fit the San Do mingo emergency. Warning.

This is not a matter for the govern we were fishing. You have supplied our wants most generously. Out of the abundance of your larder you have ministered to the wants of two hungry strangers, and with a hospi tality rare indeed in these days of sordid greed, you have refused to ac cept any remuneration for the same. It is scarcely necessary to assure you, madam, that we shall always hold you in grateful romemberance, and should it ever be in our power to re quite the favor you may depend up on our doing so with the liveliest, sat isfaction.
