CAPE HAYTI BOMBARDED.
The People Allowed Thirty-six Hours
in Which to Depart.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Capt. Kelly, of the
steamer Saginaw, which arrived to-day
from Hayti, would not make any report of
Haytian affairs, but it is learned from other
sources that the steamer Haytien Republic
was in the harbor of Port au Prince when
the Saginaw sailed and that the insurgents
were to attack Cape Haytien on Dec. 5.
Passengers from Hayti per the steamer
Saginaw, which arrived to-day, report that
on the morning OF Dec. four of President
Legitime's men-of- -war--the DessaliAes,
Lehze, Toussaint, LOverture, and one other
-bombarded Cape Hayti. The gunboats
dropped anchor four or five miles off shore,
lying broadside onto the town. The vessels
guns were fired with blank cartridges to
give notices Of warlike intention.
FLIGHT OF THE PEOPLE,
The foreign consuls in the city sent out q
petition to the commander of the feet.
asking time to get out of the city. They
were given thirty-six hours to evacuate the
town. The people fled into the hiis, taking
all the possessions they could eonvenie, ,tly
carry, pack mules being the only convey
ances available Shortly after daybreak,
on the second day after the arrival of the
fleet, the Haytian officers trained their guns
on the town, and the bombardment COM
menced. Operations were begun at this
early nOur because Iavorlng tide
enabled the four vessels to lay broadside to
the town. The Toussaint firedth first shot,
which went whistling through the air and
buried itself in the sand on the beach just
in front of the frail thatched bamboo houses
of the poor. The other vessels followed
suit and fired wildly. In a few minutes,
however, the shots began to tear through
the town, demolishing the frail structures.
HOW THE BUILDINGS STOOD IT.
The bamboo huts succumbed easily, but
stone buildings in the central and more ele.
waited portion of the town were not so
easily destroyed, the heavy walls resisting
the firing for Sc eral hours. Despite the
warning they had received to leave the
fated town, many of the residents clung to
their habitations, in fact it was impossible
to remove many of the sick in the city
within the time allotted by President Legi-
time. On top of all the houses in Which sick
person was known to be white flag
was placed. None Of the people who ar
rived to-day could estimate with any degree
of accuracy the number killed. President
Legtime is by degrees losing the confidence
of the people, and most all the sympathy is
with Gen. North.

GOULD AND THE BIG DEAL
A DENIAL THAT HE IS PL AIMING
TO SCOOP THE TERMINAL.

Neither He Nor His Son to be Elected
Election-His Purchase of stock on
Account ofa Desire for Friendly Re-
lations with the Lines Controlled by
the Syndicate.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-There is as much
Interest and discussion in Wall street con-
corning Southern railroad affairs, as in the
very heart of the territory to which the
various lines belong. Jay Gould's recent
acquisition of an interest in the Richmond
Terminal Company, has led to considerable
guessing as to his ulterior object, and some
theoretical stories have been circulated.
President John II. In,nan was seen tonight
and asked for plain statement of the facts
in the case, he replied: "Mr Gould did re-
Gently buy block of Terminal stock. This
is about all the truth there is in the current
talk on the subject.
NOT TO ENTER THE DIRECTORY.
There was not, nor is there now, any
agreement that either his son, George, or
he, shall be elected to the Terminal direc-
tory. Mr.. Gould says he bought his Ter
mlnal stock first, because he believes in the
Unlimited possibilities of uthern develop
ment and, secondly, because If the immense
advantages he sees to his southwestern sys-
tenn of roads by the extension of the Geor-
gla Pacific now under construction to Ar

hlm) that he believe, it will be perfectly
practicable to make such traffic arrange
ments between his lines and tho Terminal
system as will enable us to control vast
amount of business from the west for Sa-
vannah, Charleston and Norfolk, all of
which is now shipped east via routes north
of the Ohio river.
NOT PREPARING FOR A SCOOP.
This is the most unequivocal explanation
of the matter | can give you, and any sus-
picion that Mr.. Gould is planning to capt
ure control of the Terminal company, or
las made any stock deal by which he Sc
cures representation in the Terminal man
agement, is, so far as l know, unfounded
The number of Terminal directors was in
creased ut the annual meeting the other day
simply because of the increased mileag9
through our purchase of the Georgia COM
pany. 1t is now expected TO fill one Of those
new places with a prominent southerner,
and the otner will probably be given to a
well known New York banker. At an im-
pOrtant meeting of the Terminal company
directors in Wall street this afternoon it
was agreed that it would be bad policy to
begin the dismemberment of the Terminal
system by the sale of the East Tennessee
lines to the Norfolk and Western Company.

A SANITARY INSPECTOR.
The Government Asked to Create
New ONCE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Senator Call to-
day introduced bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint an officer on the retired list
Of the army who shall be skilled in the
management of the quarantine and in the
treatment of the yellow fever, to serve as a
sanitary inspector under the direction OF
the marine hospital service A letter ac-
companying the bill, signed by p. Nc
Quad, president of the jacksonville Auxili-
ary Sanitary Association, says: That
such an officer should be appointed
after the experience of the past summer
we feel sure but few if any will deny.
Such an officer acting under governme t
authority ready to inspect and investigate
the sanitary condition Of the various towns
of this state would have wholesome infiu-
ence in compelling the local authorities to
be more careful of the sanitary condition
of their respective places, and would fur
thermore prevent the concealment of sus-
picious cases of sickness, investigate cases
promptly, and if danger existed, take
measures to protect adjoining communities
and thus avert an epidemic" The letter
suggests DIR. Joseph Y Porter as a man
pre-eminently fitted for such a place, if it
should be created.

HOLIDAYS IN CONGRESS.
REPUBLICAN SENATORS MAKE A
WEAK BLUFF.

A Pretense That They Would Continue
In Session in Order to Discuss the
Tariff Bill-They Eagerly Accepta
Chance to Make an Alleged Compro-
mise with the Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The senate re-
publican leaders INDUCED in a little bun
combe to-day, which will probably be no
more deceptive elsewhere than it was in
Washington. They thought they saw in
the House Christmas recess resolution fine
opportunity to make little ad captanduno
demonstration which would induce the
belief that they were exceedingly anxious
to pass tariff bill. So they held a caucus,
because they knew they could not count on
all their men, resolved that the House
might have its recess, but that the Senate
would take none except on Christmas day
and New Yeans, and, moreover, that it
would work nights on the tariff bill.
COULD CONTROL VOTES ENOUGH.
Now, they knew very well that they
could not make all their followers live up
to this. They k ew that they would keep
dropping out until there would only be a
handful left by Christmas eve, but they
learned also later in the day that they could
not count on al their followers to even
vote for the res luton; hence their willing
ness. af er the democrats had exposed their
pretences, to let the matter go till to-
morrow and agree upon compromise
Ta-morrow morning they will hold
another caucus for the purpose
of formulating a proposition upon which
the democrats will unite with them. 1t will
provide for a Christmas recess probably
from Saturday night until the Friday after
New Years, with strict attention to the
tariff bill before and after

RIvERS AND HARBORS.
Mr.. Frye Says He is Not Opposed to
the Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.--Chairman Frye,
Of the Senate committee on commerce,
denies the statement that he is opposed to
the passage of river and harbor bill at
this session, and that the committee will
pigeon hole it. He says that as soon as it
comes from the House it will be given due
and favorable consideration by the com
merce committee, and will be reported to
and passed by the Senate, provided it
comes from the House in time.
Chairman Blanchard of the House
committee on rivers and harbors, believes
his bill will get through and will be signed
by the President, but he is discouraged at
not having "A chance to get it up Saturday
nor again to-day. 1t looks now as though
it would not be considered in the House
until the middle of January. By that time
it will have to take its chances with the
twelve regular appropriation bills.
