The trouble between the uaytIen government and
the French arising out OF the indignities shown to
French officers at Gonaives some time ago, has not
yet been settled. On the arrival here OF the French
Admiral he ut once put himself in communication
with President Salnave on the SUBJECT insisting that
an ample apology should be made for the insult TO
the French nag at Conaiyes. Salnave promptly re-
sponded, assuring the Admiral that General Che
Waller. who Is In command at Gonalves, should be
required to apoe gize, and that in the event Of his
refusing to do SO he should be forthwith removed
from his command. Upon receiving this assurance
the Admiral left for Gonalves TO receive the
promised apology; but Chevalier, who has .
will Of his own, refused TO make the dmende,
threatening moreover, that II sanave attempted to
displacc and degrade him he would go over TO the
Cacos nothing was eft to the Admiral but to re-
turn to Port au Prince Before he got back, how
ever sanave mad let for the South to direct opera
tions against the towns still held by the Insurgents;
and so the Gonaives business as well as the compl.
cations arising out OF the Admiras refusal TO rccog.

nave insist upon Chevalier's apologizing to the
French and the latter desert to the Cacos It will be
heavy blow TO the government cause, OF which

champions. 1. 4se7 ...'as-
