KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. 15.-The Hay
tlans are IN a state OF terror at the rumor
that United States war vessels are on their
way here 10 demand the release Of the seized
steamer Haytian Republic The government
dare not fight, and they fear that to surren-
der the vessel In open port at the demand Of
q Foreign man Of war would make them un-
popular and weaken their authority at home.
Hence they have decided upon very shrewd
move.
The Atlns line steamer Alene, Capt,
Seiders, which arrived from New York last
night. brought with her crew under CON
tract with Minister Preston They sailed for
Port au Prince at midnight on the steamer
Arran, also Of the Atlas line, which has been

They win then leave Immediately for New

rive Chief officer Williams, OF the Alene.

company have contracted with Minister
Preston 70 deliver the Haytian Republic at
New York, and thoy hope TO accomplish it
in th.s way.
hayt thus expects TO be spared the dis
grace Of being compelled to deliver the vessel
on the demand Of foreign man OF war The
government also hopes 70 escape the payment
Of indemnity. It Is great scheme.

MIR. Kemper, Of westport. Marrics TITS
Boautifm Victim. to Escape Serving a
Term In Jail-A Sensational AFFAIR.
WEsTPoRT, Conn, Dec l5.-Great excite
ment prevails over a scandal in high society
circles. The principals in the affair are
Brinton NJ. Kemper, the youngest son Of the
Hon. Charles II. Kemper, and Miss Thomar
j. Weaver, the beautiful and highly accom-
plished daughter Of William Weaver, a re-
tired manufacturer. Young Kemper has
always been Of a rather wild disposition, but
his good qualities have so much more than
offset his bad ones that the latter have been
overlooked. The young man is possessed Of
splendid physique, is athletic well educated
and handsome.
Miss Weaver is very attractive in appear
amen, has a beautifully moulded figure. is a
brilliant conversationaiist and an acknowl-
edged leader in the most select society. The
young couple became acquainted about one
year ago and seemed so admirably suited to
each other that other young men in the
town, who had been baslIing IN the light Of
Miss Weaver's smiles gradually dropped out
till the pair Of lovers were left almost en-
tirely by themselves. Not long ago their en-
gagement was informally announced. but
the time or the place for the ceremony had
not been positively decided on.
Everything with the young couple won't on
smoothly until early last November when a
suspicion arose that an early marriage would
be advisable. The plan did not meet the
hearty approval Of the prospective groom
In fact, whom pressed for an explanation he
made the astounding declaration that nothing
was further from his thoughts or intentions
than marriage.
Matters came to a crisis on Tuesday even
ing last, when young Kemper made his usual
call 1t was his purpose to announce his in
tention Of going south for the winter. AS he
entered the drawing room the young lady
pleaded that marriage was absolutely neces-
sary in order 70 preserve her good name, but
her pleadings were useless. Meanwhile an
other scene was being enacted outside on the
lawn Chief Constable Frederick Kemrer
and posse Of assistants were surrounding
the house, and just as Miss Weaver was
about to give up all hope the officer, in com
pany with justice OF the peace, the town
clerk and several lawyers, filed into the
room, and the young trifer with woman's
affections was placed under arrest.
The laws made and provided for such cu;.
prits was read, and the prisoner was given
the alternative Of serving out a term in Jail
or consenting to an immediate marriage.
After good deal Of argument the latter
course was adopted, and the ceremony was
quickly performed.
Since Tuesday evening young Kemper
seems 70 have become a changed man. ON
Wednesday evening be called at the Weaver
mansion partly intoxicated, aud in a fit Of
anger at all that had occurred snatched a
blooded pug dog from the arms Of its mis-
tress and killed it on the spot.

extremely anxious to become part Of the

expression Of opinion on the part Of residents
OF the United States which would Indicate
that the desire Is at oil widespread that
Canada should bo incorporated into this

Even the policy OF commercial union
