T was but a short time after the rejection by the United Senate of General Grant’s pet scheme to annex San Domingo for a coaling station and a foothold in that region that I met the Hon. Ben ‘Wade, then ex-United States Senator from Ohio as he was returning to his home from Hayti and Washington. President Grant at that time was bending every energy of his adminis- tration to accomplish the purchase of a harbor in Hayti. The papers were as full of San Domingo and its acquisition then as they are now of Cuba and Spain. After an almost interminable discus- sion in the Senate a commission was agreed upon to go to San Domingo to | examine and report upon the proposed purchase. of this commission whose report was favorable, and again discussion strugsle ensued, continuing hotly for a number of days. “At last,” said Mr. Wade, “the day and the hour set for taking the final vote arrived. But few Senators were absent from their seats, und an interest almost painful in its intensity was manifested by all in the result. The friends of the measure were confident of a majority of six, while their oppo- nents were in despalr of being able to rally any more votes than such a ma- jority would leave them. “When the President of the Senate | States | Ex-Senator Wade was one | and | ennounced that the hour had come for taking the vote a Senator rose to a question of privilege and sent a paper to the clerk’s desk to be read. “There was the stillness of the tomb,” continued Mr. Wade, “‘as every one soon recognized the memorable lan- guage of Washington's farewell ad- dress. Not a word followed the reading, even the presiding officer’s direction to call the roll was by a look and a mo- tion of the head. In a silence that was oppressive the vote was taken and an- nounced. The measure had failed. Not only had it lost its majority of Bix, but many more on the affirmative had changed their intended ayes to noes, and San Domingo did not become a part of the territory of the United States. “The prayer of the good Washington had prevailed and we were free from entangling alliance: P.

The cave was quite large, how large T don’t knoyw, but Gei- ger told me that a stream of water ran through the back of it. “‘So, you see, we can't be starved out,’ he said. “From the main cave there were smaller side caves leading off different directions. Geiger and his chum had more guns in rocks around the walls of the cave. Geiger did not say so; but 1 am satisfied, from his remarks, that they could ‘not be starved out,’ that he has a lot of provisions stored in his cave and he must have ammunition in quantity. “I noticed also a lot of books and papers, quite a library. The latest newspapers were not very old. Each man had a comfortable bed. There was a ‘Dutch oven’ in the cave and other facilities for cooking. | _“Just how we fell into talking about Geiger’'s past life I don't know. He told me that he had mever been out wood Valley. He showed me a bill of fare from the Russ House dated August 15, 1897.
