Hoppolyte's star Seems to Be

Some Interesting Incidents of the
Struggle-A Legitimest Generals
Bold Move-JeaIousy of An
Arbitrary ard Cruel
President.

PORT AU PRINCE, July 26.-The gods of
war seem to be favoring Legitlme lately. his
stock being now rapidly on the rise, and
fair prospect Of an early ending Of the war
is now seemingly assured. Ten days ago
Hyppolite offered to pension Legltime If he
would peacefully surrendered and leave the
country, but he bravely said that he would
die in arms defending his beloved country.
A few days after this Gen. Salnair, Of Hyp-
politics forces, had made arrangements with
the Legitimlst General in charge at La Coup
fortress, four miles back from the city, that
the place was to be surrendered at midnight
on July 18th, and Gen. Salnair was so pleased
with himself over this stroke of Haytien
diplomacy that he had to tell it to French
man from Port-au-Prince who was dining
with him. The Frenchman after leaving
made all haste to the city and sold the secret
to General Monplaisir, the Legitimist Minis
ter Of the Interior, who started at once for
La Coup with a small force and two Gatling
guns to prevent the accomplishment of the
treachery. He arrived in time and, person
ating the traitor, talked with the enemy, who
pretended to be a body OF Legitimes troops
on their return to the city. He got them in
q good position in front Of his Gatlings and
then ground away on one of the guns him
self, killing eighty and wounding great
many more. On his return to the city next
day Monplaisir was the hero Of the hour.
But his popularity warned bim that he had
better return to La Coup, since the Presi-
dent began to show that he did not want so
powerful rival In the city and intimated
thai there were ways of wiping out such
people.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Rear Admiral
Gherhard reports from Port au Prince to the
Secretary of the Navy. under late of July
25th. The Legitime government has de-
livered to the U. S. minister $500 compen-
sation for the seizure and detention of the
steamer Ozania. The money is now on board
the United States ship Kearsarge with a
view to its safe keeping, subject to the
orders of the State Department.
A letter received in this city from Hayti,
written July 25th says;
"All is quiet at Port au Prince. The delay
In attempting to capture the city has given
the Inhabitants great confidence. TIE rainy
