CUTRAGES IN HAYTI.


Restrained at Port gu Prince.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. l6.-The
State Departr eHt is in receipt of the
following lette from Messenger q Co.
of New York. received from the captain
OF one OF their vessels at Port au Prince.
The firm requests that Minister Bayard
order another gunboat down to Haytl
at once: The Northern ports are all
blockaded, in open violation of interna-
tlonal law, and the widest disorder
prevails In Port au Prince. Both parties
are partial 70 assassination. GEN Tele-
maque was basely assassInated. Port an
frluce, Petit Goaye, Ieogane, jeremie,
AUX Cayes and Miragoaue alone are III
favor OF Gen. Legitlme, the rest OF the
country having declared tor Gen. Hlp-
polite. The steamer Haytian Republic
was seized as pirate and not a blockade
runner. The Haytians wanted to
shoot all the officers and crew. but
the foreign c0nsuIs protested agair st
this, and the lives of the
Americans were therefore spared. There
Is only one man-of-war in the harbor OF
Port au Prince, and She is fving the
French flag. There are seven American
vessels now detained at this port, and
there IS absolutely no defense in case
the mob should take a notion to commit
depredatlons. The schooner Wm. Jones,
OF Boston, was recently seized by the
Dessalines and her captain informed me
that the Haytians fired a shot across her
bows, compelling her to heave to, when
they boarded her and put the crew in
irons. They then towed the schooner
to Port au Prince, where sheis detained
as a prize. This seizure was made seven
miles out at sea, and the captain ofthe
VIM. Jones has protested against this
illegal seizure to Minister Thompson.
The other American vessels cannot get
their clearance papers or cargo and
those which will be permitted to depart
Will have TO return to the United States
in ballast -

The Men Refuse to Work at Night to Ac-
commodate Gas Companies.
A general strike against a re-arrange
ment OF working hours IS threatened by
the iron workers Of Pittsburg. On ac-
count Of a shortage of natural gas during
the daytime the gas companies request
ed the mill-owners to arrange the work
ing hours so that the heaviest work
will be done at night, in order
that the consumption of gas can be
made more uniform. The manufacture
ers agreed to the change, but their en-
ployes, at meetings of the various ANAL
gamated lodges throughout the city, re-
solved to strike against any change III

cOmodate the mill-oWners but not the

BISMARCK EXPLAINS.
The Chance llor's Report on Frederick
Diary Interpreted by Himself.

Dlary interpreted by dllnsel1.
The Berlin North German Gazette
says that as the advanced Democratic
papers have continued to falsely inter
pref the chancellor's report to the EN-
peror on the subject of the late En-
peror Frederick's diary, it must again
refer to the fact that Emperor Freder-
lex, owing to his relations with the
royal family, never concealed his
regard for England and its
dynasty and policy lot even
before his father, who, owing 10
the good feeling toward himself of
Russia and her dynasty, was led into
policy of open discussion, which, be-
tween father and son was not advisable
for sociable as well as business consider
ations. The servants of the father
were bound by their office and honor
not to discuss these matters before the
son. The article in The North German
Gazette excites special comment owing
to the fact that the journal, which Is a
semi-oflicial organ, puts for the second
time mil er meaning on Prince Bis
marck's report on Frederick's diary in
referring to the English court.
