A curious story about the United States and rei iproclty was put in circulation in this city yester day. The governments of Great Itritain, Germany and Italy, so tlie story ran, had observed with a burning jealousy tho great advantages which the Americaua were reaping from the reciprocity treuty with Sail Domingo, and hud entered into a common conspiracy to destroy that treaty. Just what part Grint Britain and Italy had taken or were to take in these maneuvers was not quite plain iu the story as it was given out but the deeds of Genua ny were indisputa bly set forth. Germany, It appeared, had offered to Ulises lleurcBUX, presi dent of San Domingo, an annual bribe of f 50, 001) for life if lie would declare the reciprocity treaty with the United Stiitcs abrogated "It is true,' said the Dominican con sul here, "that the countries here men tioned have made a demand in San Do mingo, iu w hich they claim that under a clause to be found in former treaties each is entitled to receive ull the favors from San Domingo that are or may be extended to the most favored nation. "That lieing the case, San Domingo was naturally alarmed. The attitude of Germany was especially dangerous, as our tobacco trade is with Hamburg, where we were threatened with n duty that would have lieen fatal to our busi ness. For England and Italy we did not line so much. Still, if we should be compelled to accede to the demand of the tripartite we would have to send all our sugar to London. For this Mm United States would rei in pom the sugar duties. I was sent to see Secre tary Foster and conferred with him on the subject and we had a long talk. Were you instructed to say to Secre tary Fotcr that President Ileureaux would see that the treaty was main tained if he was promised an annuity of?T5,0()0a year?" was asked. "No, I wasn't'' answered the consul, smiling, "aud as fur us I know no suggestion was ever made. 1 do know that the American minister to Ilayti, Mr. Durham, und the German minister to the suine country, have lnith left Port au Prince nnd are in conference with STRICKEN HAMBURG.

They are accompanied by 1,000 of the r'orgy bearing sacred symbols and images. The pilgrims passed last night in the village of Mitischiki in the open uir.
