TWO CRUISERS FOR HAITI.
Both the Boston and the Kearsarge to Re
 Sent There Immediately.


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-The navy depart ment is doing all it can to hasten the arrival in Haytian waters of sufficient force to pro tect the interests of Americans there. Com nader Harmony, acting secretary of the navy, was seen by a correspondent. He said the Kearsarge will be ready to sail in three or four days. In the meantime the depart ment has been trying to communicate by telegraph with the Boston, which recently sailed from New York, and which is now at Graytown or somewhere off the coast of Nicaragua
 It is impossible to reach her by telegraph direct, because there is no line to the city where she is thought to be lying But in structions will be immediately telegraphed to the United States representative at the nearest point, and he will forward them by the most expeditions way to the ship.
 'The Boston," said the commodore, twill go to Hayti The Kearsarge will go too. It is simply question which will get there first, but one vessel will be equal to all needs of the occasion Whatever American vessels have been seized will be promptly taken back. The Haytian government has done a very stupid thing in establishing blockade with out giving any notice of it.n

OUTRAGES DUE TO EXTREMISTS
MT. Parnel1 Had Nothing to Do with Them-One Witness Shosts at Another. The SacI1vilIe Sensation Still the Alp sorbing Topic.


 The sackvilIe Sensation Still the Alp
 sorbing Topic.
 LONDON, Nov 2-At the sitting of the Parnell commission Capt O'Shea was re- called to the witness stand. He submitted the protest, referred to in his evidence Thurs day, regarding his exclusion from parliament by MT. Parneil.
 The taking of evidence of policemen who had taken shorthand reports, as to the cor rectness of their notes, was then resumed.
 The evidence given by the police reporters before the Parnen commission was decidedly favorable to the Parnellites. Sir Charles Russell cross-examined them thoroughly, and his line of questions brought out responses that indicate that the League saved the peo- pie from famine and despair, and that the outrages committed in Ireland were due solely to extremists who were opposed to lawful agitation in any shape. The opinion is now expressed that the inquiry will not continue as long as was at first thought The very nature of the testimony given thus far, and the apparent weakness of The Times case, seem to indicate easy and swift vic tory for MT. Parnell and his associates
 In tavern opposite the law courts Joseph Kavanagh drew a revolver and fired a shot at Planche Cox The shot did not take effect. Kavanagh was arrested and committed to jail on charge of attempted murder It is reported that both kavanagh and Cox had been cited to appear as witnesses before the Parnell commission. 4 five chambered re volver, with four of the chambers loaded, was found on Kavanagh. He stated to the poline that he carried the weapon for self de- fense, as he had been threatened with death for making certain disclosures.
 Although nearly one deplores the necessity for Mr. Bayards action ia giving Lord Sack vile his passports, the majority of English men who have expressed opinions on the sub ject are unshaken in the belief that the chief fault lies in tue needlessly cold blooded delay of Lord Salisbury, The latter is charged with the responsibility of the hunlil:atio of Englands representative, which could and should have been averted. Lord Salisbury failed to realize that, the approaching Ameri- can elections made promptness in the matter on his part imperative. His critics declare that he ought to have acted immediately in the affair, and recalled the minister whose ;ndiscretion and undiplomatic conduct made his presence in America as England's repre- sentative impracticable. They complain that Lord Sackville, though certainly to blame for the unwise letter he foolishly allowed himself to write, Hes ill treated by his own country men, and that the minister's long diplomatic service entitled him to mors careful and thoughtful treatment from his government.

 Jade with Small Arms.

Jade with Small Arms.
 BALTIMORE, Nov 2--Early i'll the morn ing the state oyster sloop Mary Compton sighted 400 or more boats which were en- gagged in illegal dredging on Swan Point bar, and swooped down upon them But the pirates would not fly. The oysters were plentiful and so were bullets and small shot. The police sloop had no sooner invaded the ground occupied by the dredgers than the latter opened hot fire with small arms The sloop answered with similar weapons
 The offenders did not seem to care button for this, and as a last resort the cannon with which the sloop was armed was turned against them The awful boom of the gun rang out upon the air, but still they did not scare. Not an inch would they budge and finally the Mary Compton turned her stern to the pirates and ingloriously fled for Ches- ter river. Her flight was accompanied by the ringing cheers of her enemies.
 After proceeding little distance the Comp ton caught sight of the police steamer Nc Lane and signalled her. The two vessels then proceeded to the scene of the late fight. But the dredgers concluded that victory over one war vessel was enough glory for one day, and they hoisted sail and left At night the dredgers again collected on the bar, and when morning dawned the commander of the Mary Compton was surprised to see the pirate tiewt again before him. The Compton again swooped down upon them. The dredgers stood firm and poured volley after volley into the hull. rigging and deck of the sloop. The Compton once more opened with her cannon but the law breakers greeted each fire of the big gun with derisive yel1s; but they finally withdrew. It is reported that that several of the dredgers were wounded.
