The latest news from Hayti shows
that Legitime is now in a precarious
situation. The troops of Hippolyte
have overrun the whole country
pursuing Legitime to Port-au-Prince
! his last stronghold. Hippolyte had
$1,000 men before the place, while
Legitime, with much smaller force,
was making last stand, four miles
from the city.
In another yacht-race the Val
kyrie led for twenty miles, when she
was overhauled by the Yarana. The
wind then died out. Both vessels
! got becalmed and the race was not
finished.
American Affairs.
In response to letter dated May
31st from Hon. w W. Morrow of
San Francisco, stating that the work
men on the. cruiser Charleston had
contributed each 10-cent silver
piece, making a total of $50, to be
used in enriching the metal of the
Charleston's bell, the Secretary of
the Navy says:
Among the many and costly pre-
sents that have been lately made by
towns and by individuals to ships of
the navy, there is none that the de-
partment values and appreciates
more highly than this spontaneous
offering from the workmen of the
Charleston. 1t was peculiarly ap-
propriate and graceful thought that
led them to cast a permanent memor-
ial OF their united labOrs. The yes
sci was named after one of the oldest
historic cities of the Atlantic Coast
and built in the metropolis of the
Pacific, and it may be regarded as a
type of the strength and unity of our
Republic, and the ring of true metal
in its bell, due to the free contribu-
tons of the 1000 men who built this
ship, will be a constant witness to
the independence and patriotic spirit
of our best citizens, the workingmen
Of America. Very respectively,
B. F. TRACY, Secy.

cred, and if satisfactory the request
will be granted.
