suffering painfully from lock-jaw
which was the result of a rat bite
She was employed in the family OF
Theodore Coleman, in the town of Wal

rat in the pantry, and it bit her
through the finger. The wound healed
and caused no trouble, but at length
her hand and arm began swelling, and
lock jaw set in. She was able to ride
home on the cars on Wednesday, but
she suffered great pain from nervous
spasms that came over her. After her
arrival home she grew worse and the
Catholic priest at Ellenville was tele-
graphed for to come and administer

the REVOLUTION IN nAYII.
Disastrous Il, sults Of . Rebellion.

HAVANA, July 22.-The English mai
steamer, which sxilst from st. Thomas
on the 18th, arrived here to day. sh'
brings advices trom ilavti To ths l2tl
inst.
The reports of the d-pIorable riot
at Portau Prince ar- confirmed. Thu
disorders, which were caused by a bit
ter party conflict between the Librrali
and Nationals, began on June 30. Dur
lug the sitting Of the Chambers a par
ty of Liberals fired upon Gen. Canal
brother ot the President and member
of tn. Chamber Of Deputies. The Gen
eral was not hurt, but the sitting was
immediately suspended.
Fierce fighting then began in the
streets. The Nationalists held the
palace. The Liberals erected barri.
cades and fortified many houses. They
killed the Minister of War, who was
trying to dispe 80 the mob. On July l
President Canal requested the British
Consul to assemble his foreign col
leagues in order 10 confer with the
rebels.
The United States Minister and the
French Charge d'Atfaires only complied
with the request, the others pleading
the risk to life from the bullets which
We're raining around. Therefore the
representatives OF England, France,
and the United States alone entered
into conference with the rebels.
President Canal offered the rebels full
pardon and leave TO embark unmoles
ted for any part they desired. The
rebels stoutly refused the conditions
and the fighting continued. On July 2
the President again resorted to the ser
vices of the diplomatic body. This time
the United States Minister refused to
interfere. President Canal thereupon
sent to the rebels letter, which was
torn to pieces.
On July Sd ths patience of the Presi.
dent became exhausted and hu deter
mined to act. Cannon were placed a
quarter of mile from the front Of the
houses occupied by the rebels. The
first shell set fire tO one Of the houses,
and Immediately all were ablaze. The
rebels scattered in every direction.
The fire spread fsarfully, sweeping
away four blocks of buildings. The
Finance Department, with all its docu-
pents, was destroyed. On July 4, the
Liberals had disappeared, and their
principal leaders had taken refuge in
the foreign copsulates. About 13O
houses were in ashes, and 300 men
were killed or wounded. Fortunately,
the commercial part of the town eS-
capped damage.
During the riots in the capital, Gou-
aives, Saint Marc and Arcahaie rose in
nsurrection, and at last accounts were
IN possession of the rebels. President
Canal had dispatched troops to those
owns, and expected to subdue the in
there shortly.
The Southern Provinces continued
quiet. Cape Haytien and
leighborhood have been the scene of
onstant fighting. Many rebels have
led to San. Domingo.

too much headway and spread rapidly
through the entire building. A por-
tion Of the hotel furniture was gotten
out, some Of the larger articles, beds,
&C., being broken with axes and thrown
from the windows.
The hotel was a large, three.story
building, the walls Of which were
cracked and thrown down by the heat,
