NEW YORK, June 10.--A letter from
Port-au Prince, dated May 30th, gives the
following: 1t is stated on good author
ity that Hippolyte is within two miles Of
Port-au-Prince, and there is no doubt
that in few days the war will be ended
with the army of the north the victors.
Legitime's men are DESERVING him, and at
Grand Daline, one of his generals, com
manding 5000 men, surrendered all his
force to Hippolyte. 1t is impossible to
say when Hippolyte's army will fall on
the town and massacre every one in If.
The Legitimes have hardly any men
TO guard the place and it would be an
easy matter to capture it. Most of the
Legitime's navy are lying in the inner
harbor being afraid if they venture, out
they will be captured by Hippolyte's
ships.
NEW YORK, June 1O.-The steamship
Ailsa, from Port au-Prince arrived this
morning. The first officer told reporter
he heard nothing of the reported over
throw of Legitime. This statement was
made TO him by two officers of the Lee
gitime Hippolyte's force within seven
miles of Port-au-Prince, but the opinion
was then expressed that there would be
no decisive fighting until fall on
account of the bad condition of roads.
The Ailsa carried transferred mail from
Hayti, which LETT there May 80. By this
mail advices we're sent to local firm by
its Haytien representative to the effect
that Hippolyte's force is within 81 miles
of POrt-au Prince, and that Legitine is
still In power. The news brought by the
Ailsa leaves the outcome of the Hayden
troubles still in doubt. A cablegram from
London, dated May 81, stated a dispatch
was received there from Hippolyte say
ing that he defeated Legitime, occu-
pied -Au-Prince and proclaimed
himself provisional president. 1t is con-
sidered unlikely that all this could occur
in one day after Hippolyte, twenty one
miles from Port-Au-Prince, as stated in
advices already mentioned, and report
fifteen days earlier, the armies being sep
arated by only seven miles makes matters
appear still more confusing.

Three Persons Found Alive in the Wreckaoe
at JOhnstOwn
YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, June S.-When the re-
lief committee was working around the
big pile of debris at the bridge a bow
named Eddie Scbeaer was found alive in
the pile, having been imprisoned since
last Friday. The father of the boy who
had also escaped the deluge, was notified,
and had him conveyed TO a place where
he would be carefully looked after. The
boy is es yet unable to give an account of
his terrible experience, being very weak.
1t is feared he canLot recover. About the
time Eddie Schoefer's rescuers came
across him another party found a mother
and daughter alive. They were at once
removed and placed with friends. Neither
sustained much physical injury, but both
were very weak from nervous prostration
and hunger. Il is thought they will re-
cover.

Would-be Lynchers Cool Down on Reaching
the Jail.
SPARTA, Wis, June About fifty
men started from near Shamrock, to
come to this city on Friday, for the
purpose of lynchiug Jack Richards, the
man who murdered John Mooney here
about two months ago. When within
one mile of the city they tied
their teams and came istly
into town little after midnight, and
gathered around the courthouse. After
walking around the building a few times
the leader of the party said that if four
or five of them would go with him, he
would GO inside and see how the ground
lay. AS there was no one else in the
party who had the required amount of
nerve, that scheme had to be given Up,
and no other scheme could be thought of
by which they could get Richards without
going in after him. They quietly slipped
away as quietly as they had come, having
accom- plished nothing.

with making two attempts to wreck trains
on the Chicago 81 Alton road. The first
train TO approach the obstruction was a

ties on the tracks. They were thrown off
and the company's officers notified. Half
an hour later a passenger train came
along to the same place, and the ties were
again found on the rail. The train was
stopped just in time to prevent an

detective, Mr.. Cain, found the boy acting
suspiciously. He watched him long enough
to satisfy himself that Krans was about
to replace the distractions, and then
