ALL QUIET IN HAYTI.
A Reported American Syndicate With
Extraordinary Concessions.

A Cape Haytien special to the New York
Times says: Since the abdication and fight OF
Legitime affairs in Hayti have been Compare
lively quiet, and until the history Of this re-
public takes its natural course and repeats it.
self there is every reason to believe that they
will continue so.
soon to take place have been completed. Ar
Hyppolite is the only candidate il is safe to
conclude that he will be Hsyti's next ruler. So
far as can be learned his treatment Of the van
pushed has been extremely msgnanimous. but
there are whispers that mailed hand will ap-
pear under the velvet glove after he has been
firmly established in power ss president of the
republic. 1t il also said that another person
will appear as a candidate before the general
election. The name of this mysterious iudiyid-
ual cannot be obtained, but 1t Is not by any
means probable that there is now any person
in Hayti who would prove formidable op-
ponent to Hyppolite.
From an unquestionably Trustworthy source
L have been informed that Hyppolite, as pro-
visional president, has granted certain impor-
tant rights and privileges to an American syn
dictate, which act. it is understood, will be i'm
mediately confirmed after his election to the
presidency. This syndicate proposes TO furnish
capital OF S1S,0OO,O 00 and the government of
Hayti agrees to concede to it, exclusively, all
rights pertaining to the construction Of rail-
ways. telegraphs, mining building Of bridges,
establishment Of banks and institutions of
credit. 1t is also intimated that NJ 90 tistions
to this end have been some time pend
ing and that the syndicate has furnished mate
rial financial aid to further Hyppolite's cause.
That such a scheme could be successful without
the support OF the United States government or
that its promoters would enter into il without
such support Is a matter Of extreme doubt
The Haytians, whether blacks or munttos are
SO extremely jealous OF the white race that at
no point throughout the island can a white per-
son own in his own name land or property
This is rule that has no exception either in
the northern or southern portions Of the re-
public. Even in Cape Hayden, where the
white race Ii most popular, no foreigner can
own an inch Of iand--though, - a matter of
fact, many do, but their property ID in the
name Of some native. 1t has been noticed that
dwelling and business hsNses Of foreigners are
singularly subject to fires. and it has also been
observed that nearly all were incendiary in
character. The persons with whom have con-
versed in reference to this subject ackno Wedge
these facts but il seems TO be assumed that the
financiers are to receive the protection Of the
United States.
mander Sumner, arrived in the harbor on the
9Th instant relieving the KearsarGe, which pro-
ceeds north to-day, Admiral Gherardi having
transferred his nag to TIE Galens. A board Of
medical officers has declared Lieut. w. g.
Hughes of the Galena TO be unfit for service in
the tropics, and that oficer returns home ON
the Kearsarge.
The Haytian war steamer Belize, erstwhile
flagship Of the Legitime navy, but now the
property Of this happy and united people, en-
pennants of evsry conceivable hue. She
brought detach ,nent Of Hippolyts's troops
from Port-au-Prince, but NO news Of any i'm
portance.
