During the afternoon he talked with a re-
porter about Haytien affairs. He said {:
Everything was very quiet there, but 1t
seems to me to be the calm before the storm
and as l stated last week In another city
look for another revolution there very soon.
1t seems to me that the people are in con-

there | have seen three revolutions and three
fires. rhe last fire was little one only 80
houses being destroyed. Something like
1900 were burned in the others. Each fac

faci is. the town of Port-au-Prinee was
burned by both factions. 1 was there trying
to light the fire, but while | would be at
work at one end OF the house, the other
would strangely burst into blaze. The FIRE
would mysteriously travel against the wind.
A house 200 yards from the fire would burst
into flames. But the smoke was always
pitch black and smelled of kerosene.
