Douglass May Return to America.
King Kalakaua's Successor on

Making Campaign Fodder.

WASHINGTON, May 2-There is evidently
something curious in the relations between
the United States and France in regard to
the Haytian republic. Something is being
concealed, but the concealment appears to be
on the part of France. The statement of M.
Ribot. French minister of foreign affairs, in
the French chamber, that France had come
to an understanding with the United States
in regard to the proposed session of Mole st.
Nicholas, Hayti, and that conse-
quently excitement was subsiding and
that the United States squadron had
been Withdrawn from Port au Prince, is
received with undisguised surprise here by
the accustodian, who is said to have author
lied counter statement that no negOtia-
lions have ever been had with France at
all on this subject, and by other branches of
the government, the navy department, for
example, which has intim ate knowledge OF
the reasons for sending Admiral Gherardi
and his squadron to Hayti. In
formation isobtained that there was no
intention of making any demonstration
in connection withthe Mole st. Nicholas
business by sending a squadron to Port
au Prince and that the order for its return
had nothing to do with the French govern
ment. When this is explained 1t will leave
the French minister of foreign affairs in
the attitude of Rudini in Italy of attempt
ing to make capital for home consumption
at the expense of accuracy in regard to the
good name of the United States. There
are also other curious surround
ings, to this affair. Admiral
Gherardi, it is confidently stated, brought
back from President Hippolyte a reply
almost to the verge of insolence in respect
to the pledged concession Of the coaling sta
ton at Mole St. Nicholas for the United
States, which he had up to recently pro-
fessed to foster. 1t is scarcely thought
such would have been sent without some
outside instigation. Rumors which have
for some time prevailed as to the
withdrawal of Minister Fred Douglass from
Hayti, are now reported with increased
force Another singular feature in the case is
that NJ Roustan, French minister to Wash
ington, whose approaching transfer to
Spain was semi-officially made from Paris,
has not yet withdrawn the denial he gave to
the statement of his transfer. The denial
has been cabled back to Paris and remains
uncontradicted NJ. Roustan, who last
night said there was nothing in it, to-day
sends word to callers that he is out, and de-
ciines to say anything further on the sub
ject.

confirm the impression that the death of
King Kalakaua was a blow to Americans in

and ardent admirer and friend of the United

ports his successor as saying that while she
likes Americans very much she likes Eng
lishmen more, and has her warmest friends
