spared, may be retained for this purpose

wishes to be discharged or to remain in

U. s. GunbOat Kansas.
New York, October 5O.-ThS st.
Thomas correspondent of the Herald un-
der date of October 7th, states that the U.
s. gunboat Kansas, Lieutenant Command
er c. H. Wells, arrived there ON the 9TH
inst, from Cape Haytien. The Kansas
fefJ fhiiadvfp4li-,- li-,-~..-tba 9Th of August
and arrived at the Cape on the I4tk, re-
manning there until the I'd inst, in con-
sequence of matters connected with the
revolution, which has since terminated
with the understanding that the town
shall be given up to President Gefrard.
This arrangement was brought about
through ths action taken by the United
States Consul Folsom, who was at one
time in some danger through the savagery
of the insurgents under Salhave, who held
the town. Captain Wells wrote to the
Consul to aequaint those who considered
themselves the authorities that he would
resort to extreme measures should any in
suit be offered to the American flag through
the person Of the COnsEl or otherwise. He
also notified him that he would hold the
said authorities to account if they cOItin-
ued totake away soft coal belonging to the
United States government. The Captain
of the British gun-boat Farron operated
with Captain Wells in this matter.
The town of Cape Haytien was never
at any time held by more than five hun
dred insurgents, and the insurrection was |
confined within its limits. Captain Wells |
thinks that one hundred determined men |
could have taken it at any time. In fact,
the attempt at revolution is regarded as
very contemptible affair.
Salnave is said to be the man who shot
at and wounded Jefrard's minister of
State, for which crime he had to abscond
beyond the sea. Hence his hatred Of the
Jefrard government.
When the kansas left Cape Haytien !
the United States steamer 'De Soto" Cap
tain Walker, and her Britannia Majesty,
steamer "Bull Dog" were in port.
