CRUSH OUT THE REVOLUTION
Havana, Dec. 23.-Advices have been received
from Hayti to the effect that the dispute over the
seizure Of the American steamer Haytien Republic
has been settled The steamer has been delivered
to the American men-of-war, the Galena and the
Yantic and these vessels have honored the Haytian
feet with salute of twenty-one guns.
Among the people the action Of the United
States Government is considered an abuse of power
against helpless Nation, and this opinion is said
to be shared by some Of the foreign diplomatic
representatives
General Legitime has been elected President of
the Republic. He is now taking energetic steps
TO repress the revolution.

SECRETARY WHITNEY EXPECTED 1T.

THE SURRENDER OF THE STEAMER DIDN'T SUR
PRISE HIM-PLANS OF THE WAR VESSELS.
Washington, Dec. 23.-Secretary Whitney when
he saw the Associated Press dispatch announcing
the surrender of the steamer Haytien Republic
said that he had expected such termination OF
the matter. As far as the Navy Department was
concerned it was a satisfactory settlement OF the
affair He supposed claim for indemnity would
be made, but that was matter belonging 10 the
State Department.
The Secretary said that the United States YES
sells would cruise about in the neighborhood OF
Hayti for short time to protect the interests OF
American citizens and watch the progress OF
affairs. 1t would probably be a day or two be-
fore anything would be heard from AdmiralLuce.

GETTING THE NEWS AT THE NAVY YARD.

The first to bring the news to the Brooklyn Navy
Yard of the surrender of the Haytien Republic was
a Tribune reporter Captain Miller, the yard master,
was seen I'm his house there. and said, in answer
10 the dispatch which sent up to him by the
reporter, that the two war-ships, the fantic and
Galena II not delayed by the slowness of the Hayten
Republic, which they would accompany, would prob
ably arrive in New-York Bay within eight days, but
would not put up at the Navy Yard as before
they sailed they had been fitted out for winter
cruise and would therefore be sent out again. That
there was possibility Of ono or both steamers re-
ceiying orders by telegraph TO proceed at once to
Aspinwall be on hand to take part in any Panama
Canal trouble that may occur, he Acknowledged and
thought that after their arrival here they might
be sent back TO tho Isthmus for that purpose.
General Legitme's election, he thought, proves
that the report that II he gave up the captured ship
It would prejudice HIS countrymen against him, was
unfoundcd Lieutenant W. l. Chambers said that
the Calena and Yautc would come home under sail,
II thcy could not procure coal at Ports Prince.
Admiral Gherardi. who has been in Washington for
tVo or three DAYS, had retired when called upon by
Tribune reporter last night and refused to be seen.

ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING

faction OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
The American steamer Hayten Republic sailed
from this port on october with general cargo
for the West Indian trade She touched at Cape
Hayten Port a. Paix Gonaives, ST. Mares, AUX
Cages and Jacmel, and then returned to St. Mares
At Port a Paix about 300 passengers were taken on
hoard They were a motley crew Of blacks and all
wore arms according to the custom OF the country,
but the officers OF the steamer state that they dd not
know the passengers were insurgents Ihese passeh-
gems were landed at Gonaives on October Is, ana IL
is said that they there encountered and defeated
detachment Of Government troops. On tho return OF
the steamer to st. Mares she seized by the mano
war Dessalines on a charge Of running the blockade
The officers of the Hayten Republic state that they
had heard rumors of blockade. but did not know
whether the reports were true or false
The steamer was taken to Port -au Prince as prize
The members Of her crew were kept prisoners on
board for twentynine days and had no communtca-
on with the shore except through Mr.. Thompson the
United States Minister The Judges OF the Prize
Court Il is said by officers of the Haytien Republic,
we're inclined release the steamer, but they con
denrned her at the suggestion Of the French and
Granlsh Ministers. Through tho efforts of Mr. Ihomp
son the released on November 20 ana later
returned TO the United States.
In the meantime the United States cruiser
Boston had to Port auPrlnce to sustain Min
istcr Thompson and to protect American citizens and
property during the continuance Of the revolution Yel
low fever, however, broke out on board While she
was lying in the harbor and she was forced TO sail
for home on November 16. The State Department
pronounced the seizure of the Haytien Republic an
Illegal act and demanded the Immediate release OF the
vessel Following this and early in December orders
were issued for the dispatch Of naval vessels to the
island to sustain Minister Thompson in his de-
mands. The Calena and Yantic sailed from this
port on December H. The action OF the Gov.
crnrnent was based partly the ground
that no notice had been received by this Government
Of the alleged blockade and that no warning ha1 been
given TO the seized vessel All the requirements Of in
ternationa law were violated, and the owners OF the
Hayden Republic will bring claim against Hayt for

THE CLOSE OF LIFE.-It is a great
mistake to suppose that the useful
ness of life ceases with the power of
active service. When the tired hands
are folded in repose which their toll
has rightly earned for them, when
the weary brain is relieved from the
burden of cares and perplexities
which it has nobly borne, there
should be a season rich in blessings
and in influence which no one will
willingly forego. Then should come
the leisure vainly longed for in past
years, and the opportunity to attend
to many things and to enjoy much
that was before impossible. If the
busy life has also been an honorable
one, there are sweet memories, cher
ished friendships, the devotion of
children, the respect of society, the
power of helping others through the
accumulated experience and intelli-
gence of many years. The very
presence of valuable and beloved
face is blessing to those who look
upon 1t, bringing suggestions of we'll
earned peace and calm to the busy
toiler, and calling up emotions of
tender reverence in the eager and
boyant youth,

Beyond.
FOR THE MONITOR.

Tired one, so footsore and weary,
Thy faith in God is almost gone,
Thy life a ceaseless round so dreary,
Loose earth awhi e, and look beyond.
Thy life may seem sad, and darkened
BY storms of woe, heartrending, sore
Thy father to thy cry doth hearken
And bids thee look up with faith once more.
The thorns that pierce thv feet to-day
May lead thee to the heavenly gate
Of golden wisdom. Who shall say
But storms are sent our souls to elevate?
Each heartache but unfolds within us
A yearning for the heavenly shore,
And all our trials here but fit us
To enjoy that bliss foreyermore.
Then waste not thy life repining,
Nor cast one thought upon the past;
Each stormy cloud has silvery lining,
Though thy sky to-day be overcast.
Then, tired one, forget thy lonely sorrow,
Nor think thy lot the hardest yet to bear;
But hope for joy and comfort on the morrow,
Nor e'er forget Gods wondrous care
-Mrg Laura A. CltDnatn0S.

hand. But just as the clerk started to re-

hold on; wait until | get my wife" and he
rushed out of the clerks Office into the
treasurer's quarters and soon returned
with ii large red headed woman with
under lip prOtrnding
Now go ahead" he said and brought
up his hand.
The clerk performed his official duty
and the fellow wrote his name under it,
and as he was putting the seal on it he
noticed the document which read as fol-
lows: 81 solemnly swear that | shall not
look at Sallie Lee or any other woman
that would annoy or disturb my wife, SO
long Us we both live, so help me God"
The gentleman was from the country
and made the useless explanation that he
had been having little domestic trouble,
the cause probably being mostly with him.
The red headed woman seemed very much
pleased at her success in getting her hus-
band down to an oath, and as they turned
to make away took her dear husband bv
