HAYTI.

The Recent Attempt at Revolution.
NEW YORK, May 15.-The following
from Kingston, Jamaica, May S, gives the
story Of the latest sO-called revolution in
Hayti: Saturday the lst of May was cele-
brated as the Annual Agricultural Festival
Of Hayti. On the evening previous Presi-
dent Dominique was advised of a cOnspir-
acy to aSsassinate him the following day,
with a view to establish Monplaiser Pierre
in the Presidency, supported by Gen. Bryce
and Gen. Cana. While the President was
in Church three separate bodies of troops
were sent to the President of the cOnspira-
tors. Gen. Bryce, residing Immediately
opposite the British Consulate was first sur
rounded. He refused to surrender and
shot down four Haytien officers before
he was fired upon and mOrtally wounded,
when he crept into the British Consulate
and died. A shot intended for Gen. Bryce
killed a servant Of the British Consul. A
servant of Gen. Bryce was also killed.
When the troops reached the residence Of
MOnplaiseT Pierre, who was the candidate
for President when Gen. Messages term ex-
pired, be resisted until wounded, when he
retired to the attic and shot himself. When
Gen. Caval was met he was in the vicinity
Of the American Minister'S residence, at
the head Of body of soldiers. These, on
seeing the Government forces, fOrsOOk Gen.
Cayal and fled. The General went into
Mr.. Ba sets residence, under the stars and
stripes, where he remained.
The scene which followed these incidents
is indesCribable. The President, a man Of
overwhelming passion, directed the arrest
Of every person suspected, and arrests were
made throughout the republic, causing a
general panic. Several houses and stores
were pillased and burned.

MRS. OATES.
what She Has 90 Say About That
Husband Of Hers.


The Cincinnati Times publishes a card
from Mrs. James A. Oates, in which she
says: sit has been publicly claimed that
the union between Mr.. Titus and myself
has been, up to within the past three months,
one Of even agreement and pleasure; this,
unfortunately, is the direct opposite to the
truth. The troubles which have attained
their cOnsummatiOn here, have most Ger
tainlY extended over a period Of two years
these troubles being always Of that IN
happy description to which it would be
both needless and painful to give a
more detailed publicity. So, too, it
has been asserted that my near
relatives and members Of my company have
had much to do in widening the breach be
tween Mr. Titus and myself; this state
ment has as little foundation of truth as
the former. Lastly, with regard to Mr..
AllinsOn, it is TO the business tact and
energy Of this gentleman, as agent Of the
company, that l must in all justice at
tribute much Of our success here and else
where. As to any ether relations than
these purely business ones between Mr.
AllinsOn and myself, emphatically deny
the base insinuation as being entirely and
absolutely unworthy Of credence. The
publication of the sensational articles re-
ferred to, is to me and to all acquainted
with the facts of the case, only a proof Of
mischievOus and angry invention"

NEW YORK, MAY ia reporter for the
Brooklyn Eagle has mad an interview with
Henry Z. Bowen, in which occurs the fol-
lowing:
RepOrter-I would like to ask YOU one
question wltL regard TO the paper called the
Submission" which was drawn on the
night of arbitration. How do you explain
the fact that on the CIOss-eXaminatiOn Of
all the members, the plaintiffs counsel did
not ask them if they had seen such a
paper?
sMr BOwen-Because they did not know Of
its existence. On the night of the arbitra-
ton a friend came to me Git was StOrrs)
and he said to me: "BOWen, they are lay
ing a trap for you down there" l asked
s.In what way?" He answered, "Why they
are going TO bring in TiljOn's
charges of seduction against BeeCher,
and all other difficulties between
them and are TO make them part
of your settlement. They want to have
them settled at the same time" l an
swered that they wouldn't draw me into
that trap, if had my senses about me. So
l went there and the Submission" was
drawn up. 1t stipulated that the business
difficulties between Tilton and myself
were only to be considered. Il was laid
on the table, and after the arbitration was
over, l put it with the two cancelling con-
tracts into mypOcket, locked them up inmy
safe, and forgot all about having the Sub
mission" TiltOn forgot it, MOultOn for
cot it and their counsel did not know any
thing about it. Tilton's lawyers came to
me seven or eight times to try and get me
to make some statement of what l would
testify, but | said l would not say one
word until | was under oath and on the
witness stand. Then, when l got there,
Fullerton stood up and, trembling, put
the question to produce ali the papers
in my possession relating to the case. did
so, and when they saw the Submission"
TiltOn, MoultOn and TiltOn's lawyers were
delighted, while Beecher's side were thun-
deTstruck. Now, l have not spoken one
word TO TiltOn since that arbitration, and,
as for the members Of the committee, they
testify that they don't remember about
such paper. Well, there is the writing Of
il in MOulton's big, scrawling style, with
Tilton's signature, and three good, sub
stantial, living witnesses TO the truth Of
my statement. What more is wanted?

JUDGE NELSON'S CHARGE.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Judge Nelson is
outlining his charge to the jury in the Til
tOn-Beecher case. His HOnOr's ideas Of
what a Judges charge should be are some
what different from the practice which has
obtained with some Of the Judges in State.
Judge Nelson is opposed, Is a general rule,
to any comments by the Judge
upon the testimony as presented. He
believes in confning his charge to an out
line Of the case as presented, the points in
the evidence that are entitled to particular
consideration. The charge will probably
OCCUPY from a day to a day and half. 1t
is stated that after the verdict is rendered,
whatever it may be, the counsel for TiltOn
and Moulton will press the criminal indict--
ments found against them by the grand
jury last fall to some sort Of issue.

Knoxville Press and Herald, May a.
The usually quiet town Of JOnesborO
was thrown into an excitement on We'd
nesday night by the report that Hines and
Bish, two Of the prisoners in the county
jail, had broken out and escaped, after as
saulling and nearly killing the IaileT. In
qUiry proved the report only too true. It
appears that Jailer Young, upon entering
the cell, had BEEN struck with a heavy iron
bar, which the prisoners had secured, and
rendered senseless. The two men, Hines,
a negro desperate, and Bish, imprisoned for
hOrse-stealing, made good their escape
The alarm was given and pursuit made
without success. DR.. W. r. SEWER was
called % attend Jailer Young. he found
him unconscious from a blow on the back
Of the head. After proper treatment he re-
vived, and is not thought TO be danger
ously injured. The regret at the escape Of
the two prisoners is widespread, as it was
hoped they anld finally secure their de-
serts in the penitenJiary.
