KINGSTON, Jamaica, May ll-An excite
| ment was Occasioned at Cape Haytien on the
nineteenth of April by the landing of a
boats crew from the United States steamer
Nantasket at Caerenag for howitzer prac-
tica.
General Alexis, commander of the de-
partment, choose to consider it a hostile
act, and posted troops to ascertain the rea-
son for landing foreign guns, and remCn-
strated with the American Consul. At re-
quest of the latter, Captains Carpenter re-
em mbarked his gun and men, and proceeded
to Port-au-P Prince, where the Haytien For
eIgn Secretary made a demand upon the
American legation for instant reparatiOn for
the insult
Since mailing dispatches yesterday by the
Rising Star considerable excitement has
been OccasiOned by the proceedings here in
regard to the American steamer Edgar Stu
art. 1t was stated in the dispatches that
the Edgar Stuart was seized by the British
naval authorities, and afterward liberated.
1t now appears that the captain of the
United States steamer Wyoming, Judging
that the Edgar Stuart had violated the neu-
trality laws of the United States, put an
armed crew on board her, and fully in
tended taking her to Key West, the port
which she cleared for.
The Cubans, however, protested against
this armed possession of their vessel in
British waters, and forwarded their protest
to the governor, through the collector of
customs, and it was reported yesterday af-
ternOon that the governor Of the island had
expressed the opinion, through the naval
authorities of Port Royal, that such pro-
cedure on the part of an American vessel
of war in an English harbOr was a hostile
act and serious trespass. How far this is
true can not now be ascertained, but it is
known that orders were issued by the gov
ernment here that the Edgar Stuart should
be allowed to clear for wherever she pleased.
What the captain of the Wyoming did
with his armed guard can not be learned,
but at five o'clock this afternoon the Edgar
Stuart got up steam, and very soon after
steam was made upon the United States
steamer Wyoming and Spanish man-Of war,
and there were evident preparations of put
ting to sea. At six O'clock the Edgar Stuart
dropped down to Port Royal to take on
powder and guns which were taken out of
her, closely followed by the Spaniard
Night coming on the Wyoming, which will
convey the Edgar Stuart to sea, took adj.
vantage of the time to coal.
The taking in of guns and powder will
occupy the fiIibuster some hours, and there
is evidently something in the wind. The
Cubaus, who have been spending a cOnsid-
cradle amount of money, got disheartened
when the WyOming's guard came aboard the
Edgar Stuart, and have been exceedingly
anxious to find out whether the U1ited
States government has approved of the.
project to carry them to Key West for trial.
If the United States approves Of the move
of the captain of the Wyoming the Cubans
are satisfied to give up the vessel; but, on
the other hand, if no answer is received
from Washington, or if it is doubtful or
evasive, or if Objecting to such course as
the captain Of the Wyoming contemplated,
they are prepared to 90 into any amount of
litigation. Up to the present hour it has
not been found out what the instructions
from Washington are. Thus the matter
stands now.
