Another Gale to Rival she Late Do-
 ssruesive Hurricane on the uassa-
 ohusests Coast.
 CoHAssETT, Dec. 11.-A storm which prom ises to exceed in severity that of three weeks ago set in this morning and has been con. stantly increasing ever since. The rain is pouring down in torrents and the wind is blowing perfect hurricane. It is possible that wrecks will be found along the coast to morrow morning. The sea is running Ire mendously high along the shore and mucf damage to buildings and streets on the water front will undoubtedly result. At Hull Cap tain Joshua James of the volunteer life-savint crew is keeping sharp lookout for marin, diasters.

Hayti,s weak Blockade.

States Consul Gutrie at Cape Haytien in a despatch to the Secretary of State dated the tenth ultimo says there has been no effective blockade at that port, as no vessel has been stationed off there. A vessel has, however, been cruising between here and Fort Liberty. He says six barks and eight schooners have entered Cape Haytien since October 16, when the alleged blockade was establised, which is ample proof that no effective blockade ever existed. This illegal state of affairs, he says, is becoming detrimental to our interests. He adds that he has not heard from Port-au- Prince for five weeks.

The GaIena and Yansio to Sail To-Mor-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-orders were is- sued by the Navy department to-day for the United States steamers Galena and Yantic to sail from New York to-morrow for Port-au- Prince, Hayti, to enforce the demand of this government for the release of the American steamer Haytien Republic. They will sail in company and be under the command of Rear Admiral Luce, who has been instructed to transfer his flag from the Richmond to the Galena. The owner of the Haytien Rspub- lie, by special permission of the Secretary of the Navy, will be passenger on the Galena, and it is therefore expected thas the vessel will be restored to him as soon as it gets in- to the possession of the naval officers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.--Senator Ingalls, to-day made long statement concerning the charge of Mrs. Whitney that he had circus lated stories of domestic infelicity at the White House. Ar.

In the course of his statement made to-day he pays warm tribute to Mrs. Cleveland and then says: "Whsn 1t becomes necessary for husband to obtain certificate of good moral charac- ter and then prove by the testimony of ex- perts that he is faithful, considerate and ten- der toward young, lovely and sffectionate wife, he may be innocent, but he is certainly uufnrtuaafa n

THE VyILLINIANTIC BANK CASE. Opening of What Looks Like a L0ns and Tedious Trial.

WnLIMANT1o, Dec. 1.-The trial of the
 case of the State vs. Henry Royce, ex-treas-
 urer of the Willimantic Savings institution,
 indicted for alleged dedication and falsii-
 cation of accounts began in the Superior
 court this afternoon, Judge Phelps presid-
 ing. The opening skirmishes between coun-
 sel indicate long and closely contested trial.
 State Attorney Penrose and ex-Speaker Hall
 appeared for the State and ex-Speaker Case
 and John L. Hunter for Royce. Frank F.
 Webb, now treasurer of the Willimantic
 Savings institution, identified as belonging
 to the institution books used in evidence. The prosecution then put in evidence the register of the institute, presented the en-. tries of four notes or drafts of $5, 900, each claimed by the prosecution to be false entries made by Royce to cover the dedication of $20, GOO These notes were entered and hav- ing been sent to the Continental National bank of New York for collection. Theodore Quintard, sshier of the Continental bank, testified that he had searched the records and correspondence of the bank and found no evidence that such notes as the above were ever sent there for collection. The court adjourned udtil 9:3O B. m. tomorrow and a session will probably be held tomorrow night.

Confidence in fhe Panama Canal Fafl-
 Ing Among she Frenchmen-The Gov
 ernmenB Cannot Interfere
 PARIS, Dec. 1.-The Panama canal crisis and the success of the Russian loan absorb exclusive attention. At to-day's sitting of the Panama canal committee two proposals were discussed, both aiming to prolozg the period for the meeting of obligations until the canal is in working order. The commit tee agreed to submit the proposals to the government. Financiers have no hope that the schemes of the committee will avert 6 crisis. There have been daily interviews be- tween Ministers Peytral and Floquet and N. dc Lesseps and the Credit Foncier directors. The result is that the directors maintain their refusal to advance funds to bolster up the Panama company without an explicit guarantee from the government, with the assent of the chamber. M. Peytral is un- willing to do more than to appoint fnan- cial commission to inquire into the position of the company. The public subscription closes to-morrow. There is small prospect that the bonds will be taken. Reports that the government will eventually subsidize or give guarantee for the Panama company are diseredited. Financial houses have their eyes open to the fact that America might not tolerate the conversion of the venture into State enterprise.

While the work is being carried on at

bruised.
Last evening about seven o'clock the
old board walk on Charles street, which
was damaged by the storm OF July 10 to
such IN extent that it was no longer
safe, gave way and fell. A considerable
length OF the walk Just back OF theSold
col0red Baptist church was raised on up
right timbers, which had the ground
washed out from under and about them
till they were rendered unsafe.
Attention was called'to the condition
of the walk in yesterdays lNTELLIGEX-

At the time there were two girls on it,
Mamie Junkins, daughter OF Lieut..
Junkins, OF the city police force, and
Mamie Williams. They were precipita-
ted down Il distance OF ten or twelve
feet, and Mamie Junkins rather pain
fully hurt about the arm and shoulder.
The other girl escaped injury. 1t was
fortunate there We're not more people
and heavier people on it when it fell, or
the result might have been serious.

Last evening about Z O'Clock, horse
belonging to Joshua Rine's livery stable,
and driven by Mr.. 7. 5. Riley, Chairman
OF the Democratic State Committee, took
fright at an electric motor on Main street
near Fourteenth, and becoming uncon.
trollable, reared and plunged in frantic
manner, cutting and scratching itself
badly, without damaging the buggy,
however, which was thrown on the side
walk.
The significant circumstance OF the
affair is the fact that the buggy was fill
ed with copies of Beyords MagG:iae
and other Free Trade literature, which
in all probability is the reason the ami
NAL, having "horse sense" tried to free
itself from the vehicle. He kicked on
Free Trade. The occupants, Mr.. j. Dial.
las Ewing aud Mr., Riley, both escaped
uninjured.
