The War Still Going On-Germany and
 France Said to Be Backing the Oppos-
 ing Forces.
 NEW YORK, Feb 2.-The following ad- vices from Port au Prince under date of Jan 15 have reached here by steamer:
 There is but little change in the situation here. The numerous arrests, inprisonments and subsequent trials and occasional execu- tons has quieted all expressions of open oppo- sition to President Lcgitilne's rule in Port au Prince. Hyppolite's forces remain near Laccaer the road to San Mare. The northern forces have received a fresh supply of arms and supplies, and they are now well equipped to stand an attack in their present position, to which point they advanced after their victories at Henche, St. Michael and Descaline. Only small part of Hyppolite's forces participated in the recent affairs at Grand Salina, where the southern forces claim victory.
 The small force retreate<i across the Arti- bonite and rejoined the larger force at Le Verte, which is being held against the south ern army, as the loss of that place would cut off communication with Cape Haytien, Gonaives and St. Mare. Gen. Prophete, min ister of war, commands the southern army approaching Goraives, and Gen. Piquant, minister of the interior, is approaching St. March, each commanding :, 900 troops Gen. Latariese has left Port Prince with rein forcements to attack Laccaer. The majority of the volunteers which compose the greater portion of the armies, are secured in the fields and brought in under guard, frequently bound and are immediately sent to the front l to defend their captors. Hyppolte's forces are | largely veterans of the former army and ad- mrers of the late Gen. Thelamaque, and con- | slider themselves his avengers.
 | In the event of the capture of his capital | Legitime will offer to establish his rule only over the southern departments, acknowledg- ing the northern departments under separate government presided over by Gen. Hyppohte Because Gen. Ancrona, commander of Touis saints batteries, fired on San Marc without orders, Legitime has placed him under arrest and ill double irons. The supporters of Legi | time state that he has the most pacific inten 1 tions and claim that his influences would leaC to the regeneration of the people of Hayti.
 It is stated that France is furnishing tn, means to Legitime for continuing the war, il the hope of establishing a protectorate ove the republic in the end. The German gov ernment is said to be supporting Hyppolite who could do nothing without their support on account of the blockade of his ports Tn north depends for supplies on what can com through the blockade and is badly off Can nibalism reigns there.
 Commander Kellogg, of the Ossipee, Ina sent report to the secretary of the nav stating that a disturbance occurred at tn coal wharf while the vessel was loading coa A dispute arose among the carriers, who bega to throw stone and coal at the sailors. One C the petty officers was hit by piece of coa and he, in return, knocked his assailant down This was the signal for general rush of tn natives. The officer of the deck, however turned out the marine guard, who forme across the wharf and kept the crowd bacl but did not advance beyond it.
