wood and Alice, but no n was seriously
hurt.
The Hungarian rioters proceeded to

Daglon, who was riding in a buggy. He
tried to pursuadc them to stop and return
to work, but the infatuated mob over
Mrned his buggy and beat and cut him
so badly that his life is despaired Of.
The Hungarians reached Bessemer and
went TO the house of an old man named
Gilhooly TO look for the mine boss, and,
failing to find him, the old man was
beaten and the windows broken. "A man

which arrived from Hayti last night,
brings Haytien news up to the evening
of July 26. When the Alvo arrived at
Port au- Prince the noise Of H~ippolyte's
cannon could be distinctly heard firing at
the town. The attacking force was at
the west OF the place. about two miles
away. With the aid of a powerful glass
HippoIyte's forces could be seen. In the
harbor was a tugboat of about 100 ions
burden. She carried a few heavy gums
and was in Legitime's service. During
the afternoon of July &c the Panama was
ordered to attack Hippolyte's lombard
ing party. AS soon as the little tug got
within firing distance she began TO blaze
away. She kept it up until darkness set
in. The bombarding by Hippolyte's
forces was kept up all night. The Alvo

OFFICIAL NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - Information
from Hayti under the date OF July %
says eNefytH ~ rs quiet ut IoFt-du' rlnCe
and that the delay in attempting to cap
ture the city is giving the inhabitants re-
newed confidence In hurting the cause Of
the northern party. The near approach
Of the rainy season is disadvantageous to
Hippolyte, and ii is thought he will have
difficulty in keeping his forces in the
field without large defections. Frequent
firing was kept up, it is said, by the forts
on the northern side of the city and
Hippolyte's advance forces could be seen
from the decks of the vessels in the har-
Dor. The commander of Lacoupe had
been bribed to give up the place for
$40, O0O. A Frenchman dining with
General Albert Salnoue, at his camp,
learned of the scheme, and on his return
to Port au. Prince divulged it 10 the au-
thorities, who with a few troops and
Calling guns easily repulsed the advanc-
ing columns Of Salnoue. 1t was said If
this scheme had been successful Legi-
time would have accepted H~ippolyte's
offer to a pension and left the island.
Lacoupe is controlling a large part of the
water supply.

EouIapger Coming TO America.

New York, Aug. 8.-A prominent
member Of the French colony who has
been for a score Of years on intimate
terms with Henri Rochefort yesterday
received a letter from the noted editor
and r%evolutionist which indicates that
both himself and General Boulanger will
be temporary residents OF New York be-
fore many weeks. The letter says that
the hostile attitude Of the French gov.
eminent and the apparent desire OF
the English Government to main.
tain friendly relations with its
neighbors across the channel has forced
them TO the conclusion that, in the event
OF extreme measures being jnaugurated
by the high court of impeachment, they
should seek a temporary asylum in the
United States. The great republic"
says the renowned Henri, that for no
short period was a haven of rest and
safety to Joseph Bonaparte, will not, |
am sure, refuse its protection to the illus
trious general who today is the idol of
his country, and who is yet desti ned to
preside at the elysee over the destiny
Of France" 1t is gathered from the
communication that the general and his
compatriots, should they find it necessary
to cross the Atlantic, desire 10 avoid all
notoriety and display, and the recipient
of the letter states that arrangements
have already been made by which they
will be the guests Of a wealthy Frenchman
who has an elegant summer home at
Plainield, N. J. The question of a re-
ception in their honor will not be decided
until after their arrival.
