The Yantic is bark rugged vessel Of the

6-inch guns and two Gatlings, with officers

array of minor officers. Such are the ''de-
navy yard on Dec. II; such are the officers
who are to win renown, if And about the
time they should have arrived off Port au
Prince comes the latest information from the
queer island to the effect that Gen. Hyppolite
is in peaceful possession Of the north shore
with 5000 troops; that there is no real block
ade and never was, and consequently the
seizure of the Haytian Republic was purely
arbitrary, and, finally, that Of the only two
war ships il the Haytian navy the Toussaint
ran into German steamer and was sunk.
So the only formidable craft they have is the
Dcssalines, named after the founder Of their
peculiar republic. It is a coincidence worth
noting that this Dessalines was deposed and
shot.
As the Haytians are tropical negroes, with
an infusion of French and Spanish, it goes
without saying that they are revolutionary.
The Port au Prince government is about
such as would have resulted from combina-
tion of those of Louisiana and South Carolina
in 1876, with little spice of Paris and
Mexico thrown Ill The principal lberatcr
from French rule, Toussaint L'Ouverture,
died q prisoner of the French. Dessalines,
who succeeded and got the government into
shape, was shot. Christophe succeeded him,
was overthrown and committed suicide.
President, Or Dictator, Petion put down all
opposition, ruled twelve years and died-a
natural dcathl That is, if dying OF disease
can be called "a natural death" in Haytian
official circles. Then Boyer held power
long time, but was finally driven into exile.
Herard became president in 1913, and had to
fly the country in 1874. Gen. Guerrier sue
ceeded and died within year-rnysteriously.

much the fashion of the witty paragrapher
to speak of the American navy as composed
of ''scows' and tubs" that one may admit
a surprise on learning that the corvette
Galena is really formidable vessel, though
she did stick in the mud several hours in try

who goes on her in command Of the little ex-
