The Tribune this morning prints an

lady admits signing the confession, but
says her husband forced her to do So

HAYIrS LATEST ACT.
why the Steamer Haytien Republic Was
Condemned

Condemned.
New YORK, Nov. 21.-Consul-General
Bassett of Hayti yesterday received from
his government full and complete re-
port of the grounds on which the steamer
was confiscated. His account is as fol-
lows After her capture she was taken
as prize TO Port-au- Prince. The ques-
ton as to whether she was really a
blockade runner was then submitted to
court composed of some of the most
learned and Influential men in Hayti.
1t was presided over by Hugon
Lechaud, and with him were Macmillan
Laforest, j. Devot, j. n. Leger and
Dantes FORTUNATE. The vessel was &C.
cused of bringing $50 armed insurgents
from Cape Hayti to Gonaves, and also of
landing cannon at Cape Hayti for the
use of the rebels Captain Compton was
also charged with making complete
circuit of the Island of Havti, stopping at
every little port, even those not open TO
foreign vessels, and landing rebel com
missioners who melted the inhabitants to
instruction.
Reference in particular was made to
the steamers visit to Jacmel, where the
rebel commissioners succeeded in creating
quite rebelllous feeling among the peo-
pie, which required some time for the
Government to suppress. 1t was after
leaving Jacmel and going around TO ST,
Marc that Captain Compton was cap
tured and ordered to Port au. Prince, not
only charged with being blockade.run-
ner, but also with aiding and abetting the
insurgents. The Prize Court rendered a
decision on October 81.
IT, found thn (iantain u,iltu NJ aUpry
one of the charges brought against him;
holds him responsible for the disturb
ances in Jacmel, and, in addition to con.
fscating his vessel, imposed a fine OF
$50, 900 upon him and the owners, claim
ing that the expenses incurred in sup
pressing the rebellion should be repaid
by those who were instrumental in bring.
ing it about. The court also directed thai
the cargo of the steamer be landed and
examined, because of Captain Compton
refusal to show his papers or tell the ma
ture of his cargo.
All contraband goods were seized by
the Government. The merchandise OF
neutrals was not molested. On identiti
cation it will be handed over to them
The conduct of Captain Compton, said
the Court, in refusing to show his pa
pers was sufficient to excite Legitimate
suspicion" that he was carrying contra
band goods, Consul Bassett, in speaking
of the decision, said yesterday:
at is just and honest decision. II
is founded on facts which cannot be dis
puted, and do not think, in view of the
fair and explicit decision of the Prize
Court, and its reasons for its decision
that the United States will feel disposed
to interfere in the matter. The question
of paying the fine imposed by the cour
is Identical with the dispute between
England and the United States in regard
to the depredations of the cruiser Ala

sation with friend said:
"Spalding has on foot n scheme which
for boldness an scope tops anything
ever before attempted in the field of
sports Instead of returning to America
via California, he has hit upon the idea
of taking the two teams around the
world coming home via London"
HAS the scheme assumed definite
shapeY was asked.
Eyes; Mr.. Spalding is beginning to
dicker with transportation companies.
On the 10th he signed q contract with S.
Stamford Parry, general European agent
Of the Burlington Road, to look the mat.
ter up at the European end and report
whether the plan was feasible. On tho
18th Mr.. Parry left for the East. Within
few days he wi sail foi England and
the Continent, and by the time we land
in Sydney we shall know something
more definite.
"The trip will be across the Indian
Ocean to India, up The Red Sea and the
Suea Canal, where a side trip will be
made to Cairo and Alexandria. Thence
the route will be across the Mediter-
raneau to Brindisi, Italy, and thence by
rail and water TO Rome, Vienna, Pars
Berlin, London, Liverpool and Dublin.
Though nothing positive can yet be said,
can say with much surety that the
