that, although the loss is between two and three

WIN. Ogden and Geo Smith had pledged their
millions for an immediate guarantee that Chica-

hundred and ten thousand homeless, foodlcss
people to be taken care of until May, which will
cost, at least $4,000 OOO, and require even all the
immense sums that have been subscribed.

some increase in diarrhea and dysentcry within
a few days. The demand for transportation to
leave the city is small. The department Tor the
distribution of supplies is in gratifying cond-
ton.
Considerable feeling exists in regard to the
conduct of the Republic insurance company, in
resolving to pay twenty-five cents on the dollar
and disband. Ii is claimed that the company
has four millions capital, one million paid up
and the rest in shares. The stockholders pro
pose to pay only the cash on hand, and not col
lcct the notes. The policy holders refuse to re-
ccive twenty-five per cent and litigation is
probable.

Unsuccessful Attempt of IA Spanish Consul
TO Capture TINT Well Known Vessel, etc.

NEW YORK, Oct. pa Port au Prince let
ter, of Oct 9th, gives the details of the attempt
OF the SpaniardS to take possession of the steam

two Spanish war vessels One, having on
board Spanish admiral, sent communication
to the Haytien government, demanding in forty
eight hours that the Hornet be given into their
hands; unless the demand was complied with,
the Spanish authorities would proceed to take
her. A claim of $4,000 in gold was also
put in, by way of indemnity, that being the
amount alleged TO have been expended for coal
and other necessities of watching the Hornet.
As no answer was given TO this requistion, a
meeting was held on the 7th composed of the
ministers ofFrance, England and America Mr..
Bassctt-who afterwards proceeded to President
Lagets palace for conference. The president
being at Aux Cages, Mr. Bassett only saw the
minister of the interior. Mr.. Basselt claimed
on behalf of the American government, that the
Hornet was no pirate, and, consequently, had
right to claim full protection as an American
vessel, and in his official capacity he would do
the utmost to shield her. The minister stated
that it was out of his power to comply with the
demand Of the Spanish consul, the Hornet being
under foreign flag.
The diplomatic corps concurred in the minis
the Spanish consul decided to haul his flag
down, went on board the admiraPs ship, and
sailed for Cuba, to obtain further instructions.
No American war vessel was in port. Every
precaution was taken by the officers of the Hor-
net, and, with the consent of the Haytien author
