BL0ODSHED IN HAYTI.
Bloody Work Still Going On-Thc SAL

low Fever.

Dispatches dated Portau-Princc, January Is,
saw The work OF the military commission
which tried Salnavc and sentenced him to
death, is not yet ended. The cases of several
of his generals, and of the most prominent anu
influential Of his friends among the civilians,
vet etrcmain to be disposed of. In Port-all-Prlnce,
and in most of the southern towns the shoot
ing of piquets is going on briskly At Jere-
mic large number of these unfortunate peo-
nle have been nut to death, and at Jacmel
more than forty of them IRE In prison DOOM
ed to die on an carly day. The spirit of ven
geance has been fully reused, and the rictori-
ols revoluLionists have expressed their deter
nlinalion to crush ont the Salnaye party. The
Cacos arc crying out for blood, and unless more
moderate and mercifill councils prevail than
those ruling at present, reign ol terror may
be expected In EIayti.
The question of allowing eX-president Gett-
lard to return to Hayt has been mooted..
Grfllard is at present an exile, residing at
Kingston, Jamaica, the place TO which all the
rulers of Haytl whom revolution has driven
from power have successfully gone for asylum.
President Boyer was the first 10 seek refuge
there. nearly thirty years ago, and lie was iol-
lowed at different times By Herard, Richie,
Soulouonc and Gefrrard. Sanaye Is the only
President of Hayti whose life has been taken
by the victorious revolutonlsts, all the rest
AGAINST whom the people rose having been al
lowed to escape; and he has fallen u victim,
not because he was worse than the others, but
because he was the bravcst of the lot.
There is trouble brewing with regard to the
Dominican question as affected by the nego-
tiations of President Baez with the United
States Government for the lease oil the BAY OF
Samana and the eventual annexation OF San
Domingo to the United States. SaSct. the
head of the Provisional Government of lIayti,
Is the representative par excellence OF the Hay
tidn idea that it Is absolutely necessary to the
pcrpctuaton of the Huytlan nationality that
the territory Of both San Domingo and this re-
public should be preserved In Its integrity.
Saget is the personal friend OF Cabral, and the
political ally Oft the party in San Domingo now
In % arms against Baez. 1t is believed that he
stands pledged to both Cabral and Luperon,
the principal leaders OF that party, to render
them all the aid in his power in their insur-
rectionary movements, and that the war
steamers he purchased in the United States
three in number-will be placed at The dspo-
sal of the insurgents TO be employed against
Daez Should the United States Senate
ratify the treaty for the lease OF SANTANA, 1t is
all but certain that the American Government
will be brought into collision with the Hayti-
ans. There is a strong feeling among the Saget
party against the United States on account OF
the friendly relations which have existed be-
tween President Grants government and that
of the unfortunate Sanave, and that 1eellnS Is
intensified by the suspicion entertained by the
lIaytians that the Americans wish TO make
themselves masters of the whole country. The
triumphant revolutionists have the full sym.
pathy OF the English and French, who have all
along secretly aided them in prosecuting The
war against Salnavc. 1t is reported that LII.
peron, now at Turks Island, may be expected
here shortly to meet Cabral.
Financial difficulties are bcgnnil to press
sorely upon the provisional government. The
currency issued by Salnavc- is to be withdrawn
from circulation on and after February |, but
no one seems to know what is to be substituted
for it. This stale OF things is having an injll-
rious effect upon trade, and although coffee is
in plentiful supply. business is by no means
There has been dcal of yellow fever among
the shipping here, and numerous deaths from
it. The captain of the steamer Stars and Stripes
and two of the seamen are among the victims.
