TROUBLE AT HAYTI.
n HAS LED TO THE SEIZURE OF
SOME AMERICAN VESSELS.

They Have Been Detected, So It Is
Charged, with Conveying Arms and
Munitions to the Insurgents, and the
Kearsarge Goes to Look After Them.
When President Grant attempted to annex
the San Domingo end of the Island Of Hayti,
and was vigorously opposed by Senators
Schurz, Sumner and others, the American
people were suddenly awakened to the fact
that they had at their very doors, and wait
ing to be taken, one of the richest and most
interesting islands in the world They were
literally surfeited with information about it; |;
for annexation was made an administration
measure" and fought over in the senate dur
ing all of 1870, and early in 1871 commits
zion sent to the island by vote Of congress
was accompanied by corps Of keen eyed
correspondents. All agreed that the prov
ince was literally full Of undeveloped wealth,
but it was assumed that, ave really do not
want the country if we have to take the
people with it."
The excitement ceased as suddenly as it
rose, and for seventeen years Americans ig-
nored Hayti; then it was announced that
they had had another revolution there and
the two districts OF the island were united
under one government, and now It appears
that there Is An instruction, that the
Haytian rulers have seized some American
ships on the ground that they took arms to
the 'rebels," and that Secretary Bayard has
sent thither a naval cruiser, the famous
Kearsarge that destroyed the Alabama. So
interest is revived in the black-and-tan
republic
Hayti is historically the most interesting
of islands, for on the first islet of its coast
was land in the New World sighted by Co

local expenses There is no deep mining
now, and only little washing of gold sands
by the poorest class Of people The island is
easily capable of supporting ten times its
present population, and in great comfort,
but there must be more efficient govern
ment
The late difficulty appears to have grown
out Of the fact that the Hayti authorities
declared blockade of the ports held by the
insurgents without giving other governments
the notice required by international law.
The British schooner Alta sailed from New
York Oct. 10 with cargo largely composed
OF arms and other munitions of war which
were supposed by the firm that furnished
them to be designed for Venezuela She was
found cruising in Haytian waters. and was
seized by the Haytian man-of-war Toussains
L'Ouverture. When the Haytians found that
she had on board 1876 boxes of rifles and
corresponding amount Of fixed ammunition
they at once began vigorous hunt among
other vessels from the United States and
seized the Hay.ian Republic, a steamer
owned in Boston. The offense charged
against this vessel was that of carrying some
armed insurgents from one port to another.
Other American vessels were put under an
annoying surveillance. and the relations he
tween the two republics became, as diplomat
lists would say. strained" Hence the dis
patch of the kearsarge, ordered by Secretary
Bayard.
The American steam sloop Kearsarge is
the same that, under command of Capt A
Winsl ow. won such renown by sinking tho
famed privateer Alabama, Capt. Raphael
Semmes near Cherbourr France on S,1n-
day, June 10, 1864. Even for that time the
Kearsarge was not a war vessel Of the first
class. and Capt. Winslow had arr1or plated
her miidle ss.tiou by the naval device Of
wrapping them with cable chains, which
were planked over. Capt Semnes after
wards complained bitterly OF this deceit"

A party of four OF US visited Nan King, the

lumbus He landed there in December, 1892,
and named it Hispanola, meaning Little
Spain" The simple and unwarlike natives
died off rapidly under Spanish rule, and were
replaced by negroes to such an extent that
the latter grew too strong to be kept down.
In 1852 1897 the Frenca obtained possession
of the west half Of the island, and developed
it so rapidly that it long furnished all the
cotton and sugar consumed by France, and a
surplus was sold to the rest Of Europe. The
division between French and Spanish sections
continued till this year, the former known as
San more correctly Santo Domingo, and
the l. tier as Hayti. The French revolution
resulted in the emancipation OF the negroes:
Bonaparte in 1901 attempted to restore
slavery, and then rose the great Toussaint
LOuve1ture. who maintained Independence
till be was betrayed and taken TO France,
where he died The wars that followed were
long and terrible but in the end both sections
of the island became independent.
There has since been, on the average,
revolution once in seven years, and two or
three short wars between the two govern
ments The island is 400 miles long, its area
% 900 square miles and its total population
750, 900, OF whom nearly 200, 600 are whites or
nominally so, the rest of all shades from pure
black down through griffe, metif, mulatto,
QuadrOon and octoroon to melanoid and leuco-
melanoid, the last two known to have African
blood only by their family record, as none
but an expert GOULD trace the trituration.
No other tropical island can compare with
Hayh for general healthfulness; the average
of life is equal to that OF the United States
Only once in ten years the mercury rose above
95 degs. on the central lands, but it has gone
to 104 degs at Port au Prince. The soil is Of
inexhaustible fertility, the forests abound il
the most valuable hard woods the mountains
are rich in minerals Of all kinds, and the gold
mines were once so productive that from a
single district the viceroy of the Spanish
province sent home the annual tax of $780,
