Their Fire Returned and They Arc
Forced to Retreat.
NEW York, Dec. 19-Passengers on the
steamer Saginaw which arrived here
Tuesday ftsrnoon from San Domingo re-
port that on December Legitime's men
ofwar bombarded Cape Hayti, after grant
ing thirty six hours time for Consuls and
other foreigners to leave the place. About
fifty shots were hred. The natv YES were
fleeing to the mountains when the Saginaw
sailed.
The gun.boats dropped anchor four or
five miles OF the shore, lying broadside to
the town. The guns OF these vessels were
at hrst charged with blank cartridges
which were shot OF as notice Of the war
like intention Of the feet. The people fed
into the hills taking with them as much OF
their prof. erty as they could carry. Mules
were in great demand, and as the supply
was limited to fifty or sixty, fabulous
prices were paid for their use by the
wealthy residents, in some instances 500
being paid for the use Of one Of the
animals for one afternoon. Those Of the
poorer classes who owned mules preferred
hiring them out to using them to save
their own goods
At the expiration Of the thirty-six hours
time given for foreign Consuls to leave
the city the bombardment was com.
menced in earnest. The bombariing YES.

houses Of the poorer class. The other yes
sells followed suit an. fired wildly. In
few minutes. however. the shots began
to tear through the town, demolishing { G
bamboo huts and damaging the stronger
stone houses. Despite the warning they
had received to leave the town. many OF
the residents clung to their habitations
In fact, It had been impossible to re.
move many OF the sick within the
time allowed by the LegitimistA
White flags were placed on all houses
In which were sick persons, but this did
not seem to have any effect upon the gun
ners. None Of the passengers of the Sag.
nav can say how many persons were
killed but it is thought that at least fif.
teen or twenty lives had been lost up te
the time Of the sailing Of the Saginaw.
