VIII the Haytan Government, or that part Of It
represented by the Provincial Council DO liable for
the expense Of fitting the vessels Ofwar Galena
ana Yanuc The news from Hayti, by the way Of
Kingston, jamaica, published yesterday, was that
Lcgitime ard his Council had become Reconstruction
with the action OF the state and Navy Departments In
demanding the release of the steamer Hayden Repub
lie, and the fitting out Of several vessc,-ofwar to
enforce the demand, and had decided to spare them
selves this disgrace and send the Eayen Republic to
United states port. The dispatch also said that
the Atlas Alenc had arrived Kingston with
crew for the IIayten Republic, and that they would
start on Friday for Port Prince and would start
with the Haytlen Republic TO-DAY or tomorrow.
Minister Preston said yesterday that he could neither
affirm deny this 1t may be so,7 said he, but
we would not have the news except by steamer
nunication. The only cable to Hayti Is between san
tiago and ST. Nichoas, and the latter port was in
pos ession OF the rebels a. last accounts We COLD
only get direct from Port-au-Prnce by way Of
steamer to Cuba"
Mr.. Lord, OF Lord & Austin, strongly inclined
20 believe the report from Kingston stil,' said
be, as 1t reported that after the Hayden Republic
seizod of tho parts Of her engines
and the manhoc plates of the boilers were removed,
1t might not be possible to get these parts connected
getting the vessel out. Yet it is possible that the
vessel may be got ready and sent TO some United
states port before the Galena and Yantc reach there
in which case there would be nothing for them to
do But there Is another element to consider If
the people should find out that LeHtime had deliv-
cred up the Haycn Republic in the way that is
suggested by the dispatch from Jamaica, they might
feel Indignant and show their disapprova of such
a course by assassinating every white man on the
island, as they did number of years ago under
similar condition Of things
Acting CinsulGenera Singleton yesterday gave
consular certificates the steamers Andes and Cla
be of the Atlas Line both of which cleared for

100000 cartridges. General ContIeras has purchased
200 more Winchester rifles and $500 Winchester
carbines of the manufacture Of 1871, which viii
be sent TO Port su Prince the next steamer.
Apprehension Is felt for the safety OF the steamer
SANTANA which sailed from here for Aux Cages
Hayti, November %. She probably caught in

consignors fear that she is lost. and estimate the
value of her cargo at 100000. She a small
iron steamer of 343 tons, built In Liverpool two
years ago.
Notwithstanding the rimOrs yesterday that General
Legtme had arranged 10 sunended and send to the
United States the steamer Hayten Republic before tho
arrival OF the men-0fwar Gacna and Nanc at
Port Prince great ACTIVITY continued at the Navy
Yard in prep airing the Richmond 10 there, although

on board about one hundred tons Of coal. About
