Matthews, of Tehama, eaid he had
heard that the Democrats OF Les Angeles
are opposed to the Charter.

commission which prepared the Charter
was composed of eight Democrats and
seven Republicans. The City Council,
which is Democratic, has approved it.
and the Democratic City Central Com
mittee has indorsed it.
The only Democrat opposing it so far
as he knew is an individual representing
the State Central Committee, who had
been going about lobbying with members
of the House. The resolution was refer.
red by vote of Al to &c.
The Committee on Federal Relations
reported favoring the Senate concurrent
resolution relating to the National

A NAVAL OUTRAGE.
A Haytien GunbOat Attempts 10 Rur
Down an A mericaM ship.

A HaYtten Gun BOAT Attempts 10 H u u
Down an a merican ship.
PoRr AU PRINCE, January 3.-The
steamship Haytien Republic was run
into by the Haytien gunboat Novelle
Voldrogue on the night OF December
goth, inflicting slight damages to both
vessels. The Hayten gunboat was en-
tering the harbor at full speed and could
have steamed to her anchorage without
any change of course, but when within
200 yards of the Haytien Republic her
helm was suddenly put to port and re-
manned 30 until she struck the vessel,
then the engines were reversed. She
backed 200 yards and again steamed at
full speed until short distance from the
Haytien Republic, when the course
was slightly changed, just missing
her. The gunboat was hailed both
times, but no answer was made; neither
did her captain attempt to ascertain the
amount of damage she bad done or offer
assistance. After ascertaining the
amount of damage done, the Galena
sent an armed boats crew to the offend
ing gunboat, where the statement was
made that the jamming of the tiller
ropes was the cause OF the collision. The
opinion prevails that it was deliberate
attempt to sink the released ship. The
question is broached whether the scheme
was not originated by higher authority
than the captain of the gunboat.
The Galena's officers met the next day
and demand for an investigation was
made upon the Haytien government.
An indemnity OF 100000 has been
agreed on for the seizure Of the Haytien
Republic. She will return to New York
about February 1st. Admiral Luce has
notified the Haytien Government that
he considered the blockade of all north
ern ports voluntarily raised, because of
the desertion of their post by all the
Haytien blockading squadron. He wrote
