NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET, the clearest result of the confidence optainea trom Nae President by the ready diplomat of the HeRaLD, @RNERAL GRANT AND ST, DOMINGO, By the above quoted interview with President ‘Grant by the HxRALD Commissioner the acquisition of the Bay of Samana appears to have been ques- tioned as likely w give trouble, and we cannot do better than give, textually, the passages in the Bexaxp which relate thereto:— HERALD COMMISSIONER—Your views upon this subject, Mr. President, I- am convinced: are the ‘views of the American people. But do you antict- = no trouble on acceunt of this St. Domingo, mana Bay Company? The PResIDENT—None in the world. I puree the men ‘of that company are practical bus! men, and will not needlessly get involved in ex- penuye diMculties. I expect, Loo, in the course of bext tenor fifteen years, that this company ‘Will have made such progress in developments of the great resources of that fine country trat our government and people will annex it, as a bar- in, at ten or fifteen millions of dollars, when we zit have secured it a year ago fora million and @ half—I mean the Dominican Republic. In any ee peace, and expect no trouble wi ay ti. HERALD CoMMIssIONER—The fulfilment of Piha prediction, Mr. President, will not be a surprising event, though the American iever of annexation ‘was very nearly cured by the cold bath of Alaska. Here the conversation ended upon the St, Do- mingo question. The future will tell how tar Gen- eral Grant has been right in his prognostication. ‘The Power of the Press. {From the Messager Franco-Americain, March 14.) It is now well known that the press is a fourth power in the State. he HERALD is more con- vinced of this truth than any one else, and it is not content to have simply a reporter er a correspond- ent in Washington. lt ordered a commissioner there, so that it might be represented by a kind of minister plenipotentiary or ambassador. This Commissioner of the HERALD in Washington on ‘Wednesday had an audience of the President, in ‘order to receive some explanations upon the policy which the government proposes to follow. General Grant repiled with gil the deference due to such a personage, and we shall probably perform 4 most agreeable duty to our readers by reproducing a portion of the con- versation published in the HERALD, (Here follows the substance of the interview referred to.) The HeRALD Commissioner,tiien interrogated the Presi- dent as to the tour which he had intended to make in the South. The President stated that he very Much regretted being compelled te renounce this journey on .account of oificial duties and other Causes, as the effect mignt have been very bene- ficial, His personal affairs, however, calied him to Bt. Louis, but he will probably not pursue his jour- Mey as far as California for the same reasons that have caused him to renounce his journey in the Bouth. Upon the question of Utah the President udclared, with much emphasis, that the laws must be executed, and that was the only condition un- fier which the Mormons could expect to live in peace. THE HERALD AND ITS ENTERPRISE, a oie ea (From the Elizabeth (N, J.) Herald, March 13,] WHERE'S THE NEXT WORLD TO CONQUER? Our namesake across the river is a wonderful fellow; he was delighted when there was a lost Livingstone in an African jungle, and away went a commissioner at a moment's notice, with carte Dianche to draw ad. lid. until Livingstone was drawn ut; and he was drawn out so far as he would con- sent tobe. Then Spain wasa thornin the side of Cuba, and off goes Mr. O'Kelly. The HERALD is not confined to one pa*hiinder. Mr. O’Kelly wil drown the shamrock this St. Patrick’s Duy in a sugar vat, if his life, of which O’Kelly seems so regardless, is spared, Then there was “special” to turn up irom the lava beds of Captain Jack, with a formidable page of double-leaded matter of Jack’s coming and tus going, and of the prospect of peace or chances of war. Do these HERALD Commissioners wrap themselves up in the columns of their paper as Kirby used to wrap himself in the American flag at the Bowery Theatre, and so disarm tomahawk of Vaptain Jack, lassoo of Captain General, and the fevers and implements of war of Central Africa? Toa verity there is a protection in the New YORK HERALD; 1t must be,as Mark Twain would say, the elixir of life. Our present point with our namesake is that in to-day’s issue of that sheet President Grant takes the place of Captain Jack and of Livingstone—the President of the United States has been caught and was most successfully interviewed. We will ex- tuse the “Commissioner” when he tells Ulysses that the “late inaugural has given general satis- {action to the country.” The Cemmussioner had a deep game to play, and so started diplomatically. To make along story short, the President does not see any need fora change in the Cabinet. Boutwell goes to the Senate, but his policy will be carried but. The President thinks we have financially een a success, and so he is in favor of “let well pnough alone.” Then as to Spain the President does not expect trouble with the Spaniards; he els that our sympathy—sympathy is a cheap com- modity—ought to goto Cuba, and he thinks that before another year Spain will see that Cuba may goon itsown hook without detriment to either a monarchy or a republic in the old land. In the matter of St. Domingo the President foes a big thing for the Samana Bay boys; the ead of the Nation thiaks that in ten or afteen years this country will take the bay off the hands of the boys at ten or fifteen millions. How Mr. Rowland Hazard’s eyes beamed wish gladness when he read the prophecy of Ulysses. wiand Us was that manipuiated the trade, and he is sec- retary of the company. The HERALD Comusissioner further extracted frem the President tnat his private affairs need some attention; he is going to St. Louis; he can- not go South, nor can he ge to Caitiornia, where the “HERALD Commissioner” urged him to go, and urged him, too, to cali and see Mr. Brigham and lithe Mrs. Brighams on the way. The President cannot and see them, but Brigham and the la- dies will learn from the HERALD to-day that they will be expected to obey the laws, We will say “amen’’ to that. The President does not apprehend any more trouble in Louisiana. Perhaps he thinks there has been trouble enough. For ourselves, we de not gee that the Guif Stute is out of tee muddle yet. And so the opiniens of the Presideut are before the country to-day; they will be telegraphed far nd near; the broker of San Francisco, as he lunches on raw ham, will read the HERALD Com- missioner’s stery. Brigham, calling on Mrs, Young No. Fifty-1ithe, will shed a tear at the pros- pect in store for the ome husband and many wive: as though the wives had not woe enough. T cable, too, will bear the news across the big sea, and Gladstene, as he calls with sad and not glad heart on Her Majesty to receive her commands, will regret that the tailure of a ‘ministerial meas- ure” in Engiand sheuid be the death of the Min- istry. “See, Your Majesty,” quoth Giadstoue, “in America they survive the failure of pet schemes of ‘the President. Ulysses wanted St. Domingo; ne sent @ commissioner down there; the comunis- sioner reported favorably, but the country reported adversely; the measure was lost, but the gevern- ment did not go out; there was no general elec- tion.” The Queen, mayhap, tells Gladstone to bear up; that, perhaps, by and by there would be ® change in the British Constitution. But we have got away from our starting point— our namesake across the river. The HBRALD 15 great, and forty cents a line, cash down, is the ERALD’S profit. THE HERALD ALMANAC, [Newport (R. I.)

TELECRANS TO THE NEW YORK HERAL®. The following special despatch to the Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent in the British capital :— Lonnon, March 14, 1873. The general rumor which has been circu- lating in London to the effect that the Right Hon. Benjamin Dirsach refused the Premier- ship during his audience with Her Majesty Queen Victoria, at Buckingham Palace, is believed, in very well informed circles, to be incorrect. WHAT TRANSPIRED AT THE INTERVIEW, The facts which transpired during the in- terview between the distinguished leader of the tory party and the Sovereign are, simply, thus: —Mr. Disraeli indicated to the Queen, in the most respectful manner, the difficulties he would have to confront if he assumed office as Premier, even if he were able to secure the aid of an efficient number of supporters in the House of Commons, considering the Parlia- mentary position of his opponents, and inas- much as it was absolutely necessary for him to consult with his political friends, he asked for a brief delay, and begged Her Majesty to accord it to him. EABL DERBY AND THE GREAT COMMONER IN CONSULTATION. Earl Derby arrived in this city from Paris to-night. His Lordship sought an interview with Mr. Disraeli immediately, and had a pro- tracted consultation with him. THE CRISIS CONTINUED. No decision was made, nor will there bea decision on the part of the noble peer and the ex-Chancellor until to-morrow. PROBABLE ACCEPTANCE AND A DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. It is possible that Mr. Disraeli will refuse the Premiership, but not probable. If he takes office he will, it is thought, finish up the public business by the end of the month of June and then dissolve the Parliament. CONSERVATIVE CALCULATIONS OF CITIZEN VICTORY. The conservatives all over the country are very confident as to the result of a general election. PRESS STATEMENT OF THE MINISTERIAL SITUA- ‘TION. The Pall Mall Gazette says Mr. Disraeli told the Queen yesterday that he was not prepared to forma Cabinet. The Gazetle is confident that under the circumstances Mr. Gladstone will be recalled to the head of the govern- ment. The Globe declares the latter assumption unwarranted. Lord Cairns cannot reach London until to-morrow, and meanwhile nothing can be determined, and all talk on the subject of the future Ministry must be pure speculation. The London morning journals contained no information of a more definite character in relation to the Cabinet crisis than that for- warded to the United States in last night's despatches. Disraeli Remains Reluctant to Under- take the Responsibility-What Was Said in the Clubs at Night=—Gladstone’s Chanees of Recall. Lonpon, March 14—11 P. M. Mr. Disraeli is still reluctant to assume the task of organizing a new Ministry. CARLTON CLUB OPINION. It was positively asserted at the Carlton Club this afternoon that one thing is settled— namely, if the conservatives take office Mr. Disraeli will not be the Premier; that Mr. Disraeli will inform the Queen to-morrow that it is impossible for him to form a Ministry, and will suggest that the responsibility be entrusted to the Earl of Derby, who has the support of the old whigs. WHAT THE REFORM CLUB THINKS. In the Reform Club the belief is that the power are sinking, and that Mr. Gladstone in @ few days will withdraw his resignation. GENERAL DISLIKE TO A GENERAL ELECTION. All’ parties are opposed to a dissolution of Parliament, AN. EMINENT. REFORMER LIKELY TO RBITRE YROM BEPRESBNTATION. It is said'that in the evant of a dissolution of Parliament John Bright will, in consequence of his poor health, retire altogether from the House:of Commons. MB. GLADSTONE’S IDEA OF RETIREMENT TO PRI- VATE LIFE. At the Cabinet councils. held on Wednesday and Thursday Mr. Gladstone repeatedly ex- pressed the wish to retire to private life, and his colleagues used every argument in their power to dissuade him from his purpose. THE LATEST NEWS. Lord Derby at Work at Cabinet Mak- ing—Materials at Hand, but Success Doubtful—Earl Granville and the Middle Course. Lonpvon, March 14—Night. The Earl of Derby is trying to form a Cabinet, to be composed of himself as Premier; Disraeli, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer; Ward-Hunt, Home Secretary; Sir Stafford Northcote, Secretary for India; Gathorne Hardy, Foreign Secretary; the Marquis of Salisbury, President of the Coun- ceil, and Cairns Lord Chancellor. Lord Derby's success is doubtful. EARL GRANVILLE’S CHANCE FOR THE HELM. If he fails Lord Granville’s ‘‘seratch’’ Cabinet will come in, and end with an appeal to the country. ENGLAND.

Last night Weber's great work was given for the second time at the Academy. There was a full house and fashionable audience. The performance throughout was of the same level as on Wednes- day, marked by the same successes and almost the same shortcomings. Mme. Lucca again received the most enthusiastic expressions of approval for her delicious singing and powerful acting through the second act, Her dramatic power is electical in its effect upon an audience, and last night, when the aria by Aunchen had barely bt bo condem- nation, Lucca at once riveted attention with her noble rendition of the remainder of the scene. Jamet’s Caspar was even more effective than on the first night. The orchestra, too, was improved; but the chorus seems past bope. The Roman candle and pasteboard demons were as smoky and ridiculous and offensive as ever. This afternoon “Mignon” will be the matinée performance. Un Monday night, “Faust.”’ Musical and Dramatic Notes. Miss @harlotte Cushman will go to Europe this Spring. The play written for Mr. W. J. Florence by the Count de Najac is a drama in five acts called “Faith, or the Jewish Brothers.” Mr. Florence is greatly pleased with the piece. Mr. J. H. Stoddart leaves Wallack’s next sea- som and is to travel with Messrs. Rockwell ana Ringgold, who are to quit the Fifth Avenue Theatre at the close of their present engagement. The ru- mor that Miss Fanny Morant was going to Boston next season is unfounded. Mr. John Brougham is to play Samuel Tapvlebot in “Uncle Sam.” M, Sardou seta S. T. up as a model of “ola’’ America, Miss Sarah will be played by Mrs, John Wood. Sarah is M. Sardou’s ideal of the fashionable American girl. Mr. Crisp is to be the Marquis de Rochemore, who adores Sarah in spite of her faults. One of the best parts appa- rently is that of Colonel Nathaniel Flibburty, the agent for the “Tappiebot cite’ lots, which will be given to Mr. Lemoyne. Miss Mary Cary is to play Grace Fiibburty, described in the bill of the piay asa married butterfly, with @ penchant for di- vorces.”” What a “penchant for divorces” is it is net easy to understand.

Senet A DEFAULTER FOR OTHERS. Lamberton’s Bank of Franklin, Pa. Sees $100,000 of Its Money Destroyed—Par- ticulars of the Tragic Affair. FRANKLIN, Pa., March 14, 1873, This community was shocked this morning be- yond expression by a report of the suicide of Thomas F, Anderson, cashier of Lamberton’s Bank, on Thirteenth street, Franklin, The injured man lingered in great agony till some four hours after the occurrence, when he expired, It appears that Anderson, who is a maa of about thirty-four years of age, camo to the bank at the usual hour this morning and unlocked the safe and removed the contents to the accustomed places, and had everything arranged for the transaction of busi- ness, Several customers came in, did what busi- ness they had to do, and left: without noticiag any- thing out of the way with the cashier. Im about fifteen minutes after the last person was noticed <oming out of the bank Anderson, the |. cashier, was seen stepping hurriedly from the door e! the banking house to the street. When he reached the street his pace quickened, and finally he commenced te run for dear life, having one of his hands thrust in his coat pocket. He hadn’t got far away when some persons, aston- ished at the action of the cashier, noticed smoke issuing from the main entrance of the bank and, supposing the house was on fire, ran across the street and entered the room, Here they found several members of Mr. Lamberton’s family, pale with fright, but reserving sufficient presence of mind to extinguish the flames, which were issuing from the grate and rising to some wooden work on the wall above. As soon as the flames were subdued it was discovered that the grate had been piled up with green- backs, bonds, securities and other valuable papers. As quickly as possible these were drawn out and water sprinkled over them; but it was found that most all of the heap was in harred state, and that some crumbied to ashes and was blown about the bank by the wind that came in through swing- ing doors. What valuable papers and money that lay in the middle of the basket which tie crazy cashier had piled in were tound to be tittle injured, But this was of meagre value in comparison with that destroyed. In the meantime a number of gen- tlemen had jollowed Anderson down Thirteenth street to his residence, which is three squares from the bank. When he reached the front door he turned the knob excitedly, and, finding the door locked, left the steps and ran ina side en- trance through a smallaliey, He entered the house, and, finding his wile in the sitting room, handed her @ letter, saying to ber, “lam going to do an awtul deed." Iie had a pistol in his right hand and his wile, supposing that he was about to kill some- body, closed the door and came over to him. She caught hoid of his arm and finally FeeR Diba the pistol, but the frenzied man shook her off again. She caught the weapon but Anderson pushed violentiy away through the open door os to the yard and peepiea out, put the muzzle of the pistol to his torehead and fired, His wife uttered one scream at the dis- charge of the weapon and Jeli fainting in the arms of lady friends who at that moment arrived at the scene. Her husband dropped tne pistol from his hand, staggered and fell, while @ small, purple stream fowed from a wound in his temple. The contents of the letter to his wife are not yet made known, but the substance is that he was car- Tying overdraits for several persens to alarge amount, and that he was determined not to leave any trace, and therefore destreyed the bonds and money. On his desk in the banking house he leit a letter in @ conspicuous place, the contents of which went on to state that all special deposits and bills receivable had been destroyed; that his death was that of suicide; that his family were ruived and disgraced forever It is diMcult to-night to approximate the loss by the bontire of bonds and mouey, but a rough esti mate puts it at $100.000, of which sum there will be recognized and saved perhaps forty thousand dol- lars, This includes Mr, Lamberton’#sndividual and overnment bends, the balance being securities, ‘his afternoon a despatch was sent to the United States Treasurer requesting that an expert be sent on immediately to examine what remains of the burned money and bonds. Until this party ar. rives and makes an examination the full extent of the loss can only be conjectured, Mr Lamberton had the utmost confidence in An- derson. He was 4 sober, industrious man, and his employer trusted him as he would one of his own family, There is ne way of accounting for the ac- tion of the unfortunate man, except upon the the- ory of his having been a detaulter to an amount es- timated at between $25,000 and $30,000, Lamberton was about Cheat: his hank to R. A, Cochran, formerly of the first National Bank, C. W. Gillfelan anjl others. The books were to be balanced and the concern transferred this week. Anderson, knowing full well that his crime could not longer be concealed, took this course to hide it if pos- sible. The opinion is expressed freely by business men In this city that the unfortunate man has been used asa catspaw by persons whose hames cannot be at present discovered. The cashier had not been known to use money in speculation or otherwise, it is said, except for household expenses, and it is generally conceded that whatever he defaulted somebody else is responsible for. An inquest was held over the body to-night, when, after hearing the testimony of a number of witnesses, an adjournment was decided upon till to-morrow. The dreadful nature of the crime has cast a gloom over the city of Pranklin, and the sad ending of a promising lile is the theme of general conversation. SOLUTION OF THE NEVADA IMBROGLIO, Vireinia City, March 14, 1873. In compliance with the order of Governor Brad- ley, issued yesterday, General Van Bokelen, with sixty militia and one fleldpiece, reported at Car- son this morning, and was ordered by the Gov. ernor to dispossess Lieutenant Governor Denver and to install the newly appointed Warden of the State Prison, and to use force if necessary. Aeopy of the Governor's order sent by the milita- ry commander to the State Prison, with a demand for an immediate surrender had the effect to cause the capitulation of the Lieutenant Governor, who said he yielded to military necessity and a superior force. The new Warden was then placed in oe sion and the militia returned to their homes. There is a strong probability that Governor Brad- ley will call an extra session of the Legislature for the purpose of impeaching the Lieutenant Gov- ernor, The latter bases his action upon a technical point in the censtruction of the law separating the oftices of Lieutenant Governor and State Prisen Warden, claiming that the law does not take effect until the Ist of April.

I have to-day received the following official report of the engagement between the insur- gents and the Spanish forces at Quacamayas, pointedly admitting a defeat of the latter. The substance of the document was made public in Havana yesterday, March 13, and requires no further comment to illustrate the tactics of the patriots :— ATTACK ON THE BATTALION BAILEN—THE SPANIARDS DEFEATED. As a part of the Battalion Bailen was taking position at a point called Quacamayas, six miles from Jiguana, it was received by a light musketry fire by a small band of insurgents. Reinforced by sixty men they attacked the rebels, who feigned a slight resistance, until suddenly a strong force under Calixto Garcia appeared, with the intention of involving the Spanish forces, compelling them to fight while retreating, which they state to have effected in admirable order, repelling the insurgents’ attacks of the machete with the bayonet.
