New YORK, August l9.-The West
India letter says the American Minister
NJ. G. Bassett. in Port-au- Prince, daily
expects an outbreak among the Haytian
people. He has General Carol lodged in
his house under the protection of the
American flag, and refuses to surrender
him to the Government. He has re-
quested the United States Government
to send him man -of-war for his protec-
ton. Mr.. Bassett's house is surrounded
by guard who daily insult him and his
family. Carol was one of the chief lead
ers of an outbreak recently against the
President, and has been condemned to.
| death.
The Times has special from Augusta,
Georgia, about reported instruction of
negroes. 1t says two days since a letter
was found at Williamson's store, in
Washington county, place where col
ored militia drills, ordering a massacre
OF the whites on the Goth instant. The
order was signed by one Harris, and
stated that Rivers, n colored militia
general of South Caroline, would be
present and direct tho movement. An
order says: xii every white man, and
all --- you can; have all your
companies ready. Kill with axes, hoes
and pitchforks, and get powder and shot
as you kill" After finishing the work
in Washington county, the negroes were
directed to move toward Barlow, in JEFF.
ferson county, where they would be
joined by Rivers. At first many thought
this was hoax to scare the whites; but
yesterday letter was found in Jefferson
county, to colored companies, giving
substantially the same instructions. The
whites, apprehending danger, telegraphed
to Macon for ammunition, which was
promptly furnished and distributed to
local companies, and every preparation
made for conflict, but measures were
taken to prevent collision, and by dusk
this evening eighty negroes, charged with
being ring leaders in the move, had been
arrested. 1t is alleged the correspond
ence captured shows the existence of A
conspiracy among the negroes extending
through the counties OF Washington,
Jefferson, Johnson and Burke. II ia
now feared that the whites will not await |
the process of the law. but will lynch the
prisoners. Moderation is counseled.
but fears for the worst are entertained.
Many believe the affair is exaggerated,
that no mischief was intended. A let
ter, somewhat similar to the one above |
mentioned, was intercepted in Hancock
county sometime ago and the whites
armed, but no conflict came. At pres
ent there is great excitement in the coun-
ties threatened and the slightest imprud- |
ence may cause the most serious conse- |
quences. In an editorial notice of the |
above dispatch, the Times says: Up to
the present point the alarm seems ludi. |
crous, but when we think Of the possible
fate OF the negroes in the hands of the
militia, crazy with fear, it has serious
look.
NEW YORK. August ia young Ger
man named John Kane, alias Sitting,
surrendered himself to the police of New
York, saying, on the Goth of May, with
three other tramps, he was concerned in
the murder and robbery of an elderly
German about 40 miles this side of Pitts |
burgh.
CHICAGO, August ia Washington
special says the State Department peo-
pie are much chagrined at the escape of
the Uruguay with supplies for the
Cubans. There has been most perfect
system of cooperation between the
Spanish authorities here and Fish in all
endeavors to prevent anything in the
way OF substantial sympathy with Cub
ans. The Edgar Stewart was the last
privateer that has attempted to aid the
Cubans. She was prevented by the
careful spy system of the Spanish
service in this country and the earnest
efforts OF our Governmental as represented
by Mr.. Fish. The Spanish people COM
plain very much of the administration,
as represented by the President, being
so much in sympathy with the Cubans,
and openly claim if Mr.. Fish had been
in town when the first information came
OF the Uruguay, her departure would
never have been permitted. The State
Department is at present under the
charge of Young Cadwalder, and his
management gives a great deal of dis
satisfaction. There is no belief here
that the Uruguay will be captured. The
naval officer detailed in pursuit would |
not make any capital by too great zeal in
the discharge of his duty. The Navy
Department is making much out of the
affair at Tripoli, where reparation is to
be demanded for an insulted Consul. 1t
is expected ty this time every man, wo-
man and child in Tripoli has been
ground into the dust in being taught |
that no Insignificant power can venture
to insult the United States with i'm
punity.
