WASHINGTON, July IL, 1913.
The Lawd Warrant Ha,cks-Baiance Due upon
e LooWs-D Disappearance of Gen. PsLiotc.
A correspondent of Baltimore paper of this
morning. asserts that the Sc Cincinnati, Dispatch,
Ia mistaken in supposmg that they saw soldiers Of
fering their land warrants for $50" He continues,
by saying, that, perhaps, discharges were offered
at less price than 800, and quotes the law to
show that they are of no value except to the sol
Slers themselves. The law says that any title or
claim to such bounty nights, made or executed
prior to the issue of the warrant certificate,
shall be null and void, &c, &c. The Cincinnati
paper, doubtless meant discharges, instead of war
rants and we cannot vouch for the fact that specu-
lators have been dabbling in them, notwithstand-
ing the law, since the close OF the Mexican
campaign There are more ways of killing dog
b. sides choking him with butter; and to such
shrewd fellows as these spectators upon the
property OF the poor and Improvident soldier,
the evadIng of the law is trltling affair.
They work it in this way: They obtain a
power OF attorney from the soldier, and pay
him $50 or $50, as the may be, in cash
at once. They then forward on the necessary
papers of the department here, and in due time
the warrant issued in the name of the soldier and
forwarded to the attorney. Meanwhile, the latter
has procured receip from the soldier leaving the
date blank, and when the warrant is received he
fills In the blank, and this makes the proceeding all
straight In this way hundreds of soldiers have al
ready been derauded of their property and diff
cult TO imagine how the evil can be avoided. The
SOLDIER, halt drunk, agrees to any terms by which
he will be enabled 10 keep up the spree ; and the
speculator in case he should feel twinge at Jew
ing the poor devil, shrugs his shoulders with the
reflection that he may as well have the money as
the dram shop.

The Proviso Committee of the .Senate-Ocean Steam
Navigation Mail Companies Executive Session.
II was resolved in the Senate to-day to give the
select committee OF eight on the territorial proviso
question, leave to sit during the sttngs of the Sc
nate. This argues some difficulty in coming to
terms, and it also argues resolution to reach
decision OF the question
On the resumption of the naval bill there was
some discussion on motion of Mr.. Miles, regula-
ting the payment of the ocean mail steam compan-
les according TO services. Mr.. Allen very clearly
intimated his intention, at the right time, to move
that at the expiration of the existing contracts, the
discontInuance, in toto, of the ocean steam COM
panles, agents for the transportation ofthe mails,
shall take place, and that the system shall be abo-
hshed entirely. Here is a threat of direct open
upon the system, fair warning, which II would
be well for the friends of the ocean lines to attend
to: 1t will be no child's play, when the war is
fairly commenced.
From causes of which we know very little, Con-
gress is beginning to apprehend that these ocean
companies cannot be made to.succeed-that they
will cost more than they can ever be made to pay
the interest for. And the chances are that after
the expiration OF the existing contracts, the system
will be abandoned, unless symptoms of war should
call for more steamers.
After the business of the morning hour the Sc
nate went into Executive session on the Pillow
case, as we understand. That's hard case.

MILITARY INTOLERANCE IN HAYrI.-MoRE Exc
cUTIoNs BY THE PREsIDENr.-The schooner Han
over, Captain Case, from Jacmel, July 1st arrived
at this port this morning. There had been no &C.
tual trouble at Jacmel; but matters were in very
unsettled state. The mountains in the vicinity
were filled with plquets, who were momentarily
expected to descend upon Jacmel, and there was
report, when Capt G. sailed, that they had fixed
upon the succeeding night for that purpose. They
outnumbered the inhabitants at the rate of about
dozen to one. As an earnest of what hope of
safety the inhabitants have from the government
1t is stated that the authorities OF Jacme having
seized band of one hundred piquets, placed them
In prison, when their chief produce document,
signed by the President which compelled tue re-
lease of nearly the whole number.
The President remained at Aux Cages, where
he had shot five of his prisoners three Generals
and two subaltens. 1t appears that the President,
the head of the religion of the island had given
orders to the chief priest to visit the prisoners,
and obtain by confession, the fact whether or no
they were inimical to the existing government.
The priest acted in accordance with his orders,
and replied that they were all in favor of the
government. Notwithstanding this, however, five
were led out and shot, three muartoes and two
blacks. The priest, fearing for his own life, fled
to Jacmel, and would take the first conveyance
from the country.
From and after July LIST, by an order of govern
ment, all duties on imports to be paid wholly

heretofore they have been paid two-thirds in paper
