INDEMNITY DEMANDED.

Santiago, Dso. 26)-The aaIepa and the
Yantio arrived here en- the goth instant,
aud, as already been cabled, the Haytien
Republic was promptly delivered TO them
by tho Haytien authorities upon the de-
nand of Admiral Luce. x
Her owner, Mr.. Moore Of Boston, has
demanded an indemnity of $3.50, 900 for
the damage done to- the ship and for the
detention of her crew and passengers, to
which the Haytien government offer some
objections. because of the amount
claimed. The question of damages will
be left to arbitration and will doubtless
be satisfactorily settled. Meanwhile the
steamer will be prepared for sea, and
upon the arrival of crew from New
York will sail for that port.
Legitime is very uneasy over the situa-
| ton, and evidently feels that he is by no
means perfectly secure, even though he
has been elected president by vote of a
majority of the constituents, or deputies,
selected by the people at the election held
in September and October. This Ia EVIL
denced by the fact that the LIE Grande
Riyiere, Hayden gunbost, sailed here
yesterday manned by Haytiens, but fly
ing the tricolor of France at her stern.
Her destination is Mole st. Nicholas,
northern point on the line of the
French cable, and her ustersible
mission is the recovery of email French
steam launch, said TO be held by the in
surgants. The real reason for the trip is,
