LEGITIME TELLS THE STORY.


NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Legitime, the de-
posed President of Hayti. arrived here
with his family and staff on the Manhat-
tan. The whole party looked rather worn
ont and seedy. He goes to France, Satur-
day. but has not matured his plans for the
future
In an interview, NJ. Legitime gave the
following history of events in Hayti dur
ing the past year: ION Oct. IL, 1888. l was
elected President of the provisionary
government of Hayti. Everything was
done fairly and squarely in my election.
but intriguing spirits in the North accused
me of fraud and cheating. and Gen. Thele-
maqua came down with an army to declare
himself the President of the North
and South. /, of course, resisted his at
tempts and about week before the general
under Thelemaque had an engagement,
and Thelemaque was killed. / did not con-
splre for his assassination. He was killed
IN battle. But my enemies In the North
ate assassination on my part, and kept Up
that four deputies from the North
were on board the steamer Haytian
Republic with evil designs. and of
course it was prudent for us to seize them.
The seizure of this vessel was entirely a
mistake, a mistake for which we were
sorry, and this is evinced in the speedy
manner in which we turned hec over to her
owners, together with large indemnity.
i was duly elected President of Hayti on
Dec. IL, 1888 My election was formal and
regular. The war. you might say. was be-
gun at this period, and soon after
my accession to power. circum-
stances, and my rights, and my peo-
pies rights forced me to engage in
it. The war has been bloody one and of
long duration. Hyppolite came down from
the North. sweeping destruction before
him, and splitting blood in a most shame
full and diabolical manner, and can assure
you that the loss of many lives panied
me. Finally. finding that the increasing
numbers of the Northern army threat
ened my Southern country with de-
struction / decided that the
wisest and most proper course
for me to pursue was to resign and retire
| quietly and peaceably from the country.
was not forced to leave Hayti. nor was
there any surrender. My. departure from
Port-au-Prince was indeed an ovation to

reason to believe they love me. 1t is very
| possible that shall spend year in France,
and then perhaps return to Hayti. My re-
| turn, however, is undecided, and depends
entirely on the state of things"

Jacks little sally was about right The
game was played at the Polo grounds, In
the presence Of 2.195 people. The Hoosers
played great ball. the work of Glasscock
and Denny being marvellous. The Indian
apolis players showed remarkable quickness
in their preliminary practice. while the
Giants were more deliberate. yet were
equally as accurate. Neither side scored in
the opening inning. In fact. hits were not
made until the second. and then they were
not productive of runs. The third and
fourth innings were also quickly passed
over. and the on-lookers, remembering the
Hoosiers' record in Boston, began to grow
nervous In the fifth inning the local
players scored their first run. and but for
the stupidity of Gore might have scored
more. Richardson led off with hit to
right field, and O'Rourke then hit to
Denny, but was thrown out at first. AS 40
one was covering third base. Richardson
kept on running. and got there safely.

joyously. Gore hit up a little fly, and, sup

and then Bassett struck out. Rusie hit to
Whitney, forcing McGeachy out at
second. Seery was sent to first on
called balls, and when Andrews was struck
by pitched ball the bases were filed.
Captain GIasscock then went to the bat
and made pretty double-bagger that
cleared the bases and brought In three runs.
Denny followed with hit to center field,
and Glasscock scored. This made the West
ern Iaen three runs ahead. In the sixth
inning the Indianapolis men did poorly in
the field, and the Giants scored two runs
without hit being made Tiernan got to
first on an error by Hines and went to Sec
Ond on a wild throw by Sommers. Ewing
then got life on an error by Bassett and
an instant later cleverly stole second. Tier
nan scored on Wards long fly to McGeachy
In right field. Richardson then reached first
on a tumble by Hines, and Ewing
scored. Richardson ran to second on
a passed ball, but O'Rourke could not
bring him home and the inning closed with

The Boston Journal, of yesterday, re-
ferring to the incident in Tuesdays Boston
Indianapolis game on which protest was
Quade and Curry. Both were excellent on
base decisions, but McQuade gave cause for
some dissatisfaction on balls and strikes,
giving Richardson and Johnson, especially,
the worst of it, and failing to call strike
on Denny when the latter nearly turned
himself inside out in his effort to hit the
ball. In the last inning, with men on third
and second, one run needed to tie the game,
and Daily at the bat with two strikes on
him. the batter left his position in the box
and rubbed his hands in the dirt and while
SO doing Madden pitched the ball across
the plate, and claimed strike, which Nc
Quade refused to allow. Many spectators,
the writer among the number, gave ut
terance to harsh criticism of the umpire for
his refusal. basing their comment on the
fact that under similar circumstances
other umpiBes had allowed the play. But
a careful perusal of the rules fails to show
any authority for calling the strike, and, in
fact, the rules seem to imply that in such
cases the ball should not be pitched. A
batsman is punished for getting out of his
box to strike at a ball; the pitcher must
face the batsman when he pitches and the
counted against the pitcher shows the in
tent of the rules that ball shall not count
against batsman which he has no chance
to hit. And, after all, it would nave been
a rather small way to crawl out of hole
and the winning of the championship on
such technicality would rebound little to
the credit of any club"
