The Haytien Troubles.
Capt. Shutter, of the Dutch stea ner
Prince Mauritz, which has Just arrived at
New York, reports everything quiet at
Port-au- Prince, from which port he sailed
direct for New York on the 22d ult. Legit-
ime was inaugurated president with great
pomp and ceremony on the 10Th. The
Galena and Yantic were in port at the
time. The Haytien Republic was lying
outside the harbor moored to buoy.
President I.egitime boarded the Galena
and had Il conference with Admiral Luce.
1t is understood he made no resistance to
the demand for the release of the Haytien
Republic. The Yantic grounded IN the
inner harbor. Her officers afterwards
made survey of the harbor.
The chief officer made statement to a
reporter that he found no excitement at
Port-au- Prince, and that at other ports
where he stopped he found apparent gem
eral satisfaction with Legltime's presi-
dency. The captain states that there was
no truth in the story of the bombardment
of Cape Haytien. though all the northern
ports were blockaded.
1t is understood at Havana that the
United States Government has made de
mand on Hayti for S2,0OO.OOo to pay hel
for the trouble of fitting out memo war
to effect the release of the American steam
er Haytien Republic, which was unlaw
fully siezed b. Legitime's followers. The
owner of the vessel has demanded
100000 indemnity for the loss of hel
passengers.

ergetic efforts of a few cool-headed white
men that an open fight was ayerted. The

Horrible London Murders.
Saturday the mutilated body of boy
was found in an clubhouse at Bradford.
II was recognized as that of John Gill,
Syears of age. The boy had been brutally
murdered. His legs and arms had been
chopped off in a rough manner and tied to
his body. His ears had been cut, there
were two stab wounds in his chest, and
his heart and entrails had been torn out.
The remains, when found were wrapped
in rough covering. The police believe,
from the clumsy manner in which the
body was mutilated, that the crime was
the work of drunken lads whose imagina-
ton had been infamed by reading ac-
counts of the Whitechapel atrocities. A
milkman has been arrested on suspicion OF
having committed the crime. The MUIR
dered man had occasionally accompanied
him on his rounds. The prisoner was the
first to recognize the remains.
The murdered and mutilated body IF
another youth has been discovered at
keighley, niue miles from Bradford.
The accused milkman, whose name is
Barrett, was taken before magistrate in
the afternoon, and was charged with being
the person who was with the boy when last
seen alive, and when he was missed. the
milkman was asked if he knew anything
about his whereabouts. He denied any
knowledge of him. A bloody sack and
knife fitting the wounds in the boys chest
have been found in the prisoners lodg-
ings. He has been remanded for trial.
