Streets Flowing with Blood.

PORT Az PRINCE. June THE
massacre of St Bartholomew has had a
reproduction here lately. There have
been rumors that a revolution against
Hyppolite was imminent, and these having
reached his ears he caused the arrest of
about eighty suspected persons. Among
them was Gen. Sunny, who hid himself
when informed that he was wanted. Fail
ing to secure him, his wife was taken
instead and thrown into prison. An out
break occurred May %. A former cabinet
minister at the head of a band OF well
armed followers, stormed the prison and
released 200 prisoners, who we're provided
with arms and when Hyppolite's troops
arrived there was a bloody battle. The
rebels were routed and their leaders shot
at once. By nightfall forty men had been
put to death. Others were captured and
shot on the three following days. Every
man suspected of being in sympathy with
the insurgents was put to death without
trial as soon as captured. Most of the 200
prisoners released from iail by the
insurgents were ~recaDtured and shot.
The outbreak seemed to have been re

the most popular merchant Of Port-au-
Prince. Hyppolite suspected him of be-
ing in communication with Legitime and
OF having brought a cargo of arms for the
rebels. Byppolite vent to his house with
a detachment OF soldiers. Rigaud denied
that ne had any arm concealed either at
his store or house. The president called
him into the street and had him shot
down by the soldiers,
The next morning a nephew Of Rigaud's
called at Hyppolite's house to ask about
the killing. not knowing hat his uncle
was shot by the presidents order. As
soon as he stated the object OF his visit,
IyppolIte had him dragged into the
street and shot. About the same time
Alexis Rossigonsl, an inoffensive and
much esteemed man, was shot down with
u warning. Another man was put up
against the cathedral wall and butchered
Seventeen men were executed in a batch
and even as this letter is being written,
June !, an occasional volley tells that an
other wretch has gone down.
There Is no fighting in the streets to
excuse this. Every execution is carried
out in the most cold -blooded way, the
executioners being soldiers belonging to
the most degraded type Of men and who
seem to enjoy the bloody task. Day and
night Hyppolite's troops patrol the streets
searching for persons suspected OF being
in sympathy with the insurgents. Bust
ness is practically suspended. The bodies
ofthe rebels shot are left lying in the
streets for hours.
Today a grand festival OF peace, so.
called, is ordered by Hyppohte. The
festival is to celebrate the fact that the
rebels have been defeated and peace es-
tablished. 1t is impossible to enumerate
in detail all the murders hat have been
perpetrated under the color of the law.
1t is estimated that from May % to June
]. 300 persons have been put to death.
No one can say how long this state of
affairs will last, or what the result will be,
nor can anyone who has not been an eye
witness of the scenes of horror enacted
have an idea of the terrified condition Of
the people of Port au-P Prince.

FOR GODS SAKE DON'T"
Mysterious Murder of a Pretty
Young Woman.
Her Body Found Floating in
the Delaware River.
Children Burned by the Ex-
plosion of Powder.

CAMDEN. N. j., June 9.-The body OF
a pretty young woman was found floating
in the Delaware river above the Vine
street ferry landing today. The only clue
to the unfortunate woman's identity was
a pocketbook picked up at the wharf con-
tanning a receipted millinery bill in the
name of Blanche Humphreys. Several
articles OF wearing apparel were also
found. A deck hand on the ferry boat
recognized the body as hat of a Girl he
saw on the boat last night, accompanied
by two men. Mrs. Coleman, residing
near the river, states that near midnight
she heard a scream and a female voice
crv out: For Gods sake, don't" and
then heard a splash.
Later-Tonight it was learned that her
name was Garry Burrough. and that she
had been working for a millIner. Nothing
is known about her.

A CORRESPONDENT in other columns
calls attention to the practice SO popular
in the San Francisco dailies OF alluding
to Oakland as the second city in the
state. 1t is hard to resist the conclusion
that they do this knowingly, for the
table of the populations of our Cali
fornia cities was published by authority
of the census bureau, and Los Angeles
led Oakland as she did every other city
on the Pacific coast. 1t will be great
surprise to those who have watched the
course of the press of the Golden Gate
this applies at least to the dailies-when
it shall be found doing justice to Los
Angeles. Not even the fact that this
city and county contribute nearly half a
million dollars to the state treasury over
and above what they get back in the
school fund will procure us the scantest
justice. Well, we are inclined to think
that we can stand it. Our ratio of growth
is nearly fifty times that of San Fran
cisco herself, and we are not downright
novices in footing our own horn. 1t is
not too much to say that it is the enter
prise and productions of Los Angeles
and the other southern counties that
keep California before the eye of the
nation and of the world

will make believe she is orful sweet on
another girl or feller if they come TO see
her, and when they are gone she VIII say
"Horrid old thingl"
If yer don't do what girl tells yer, she
says your horrid. Idratherb be horrid than
be soft. If you do what girl tells YOU
you will do all sorts of foolish things.
Girls can be good in school every day II
they feel like it. shud think they would
git tired, and have to do sumth1ng wonse
in while; know feller does. Girls say
fellers act orful, but when girl gets ago
ing it she acts orfler than any feller burst
They don't care for nuthing.
If a girl wants feller to carry her books
home she amt satisfied unless she gits the
same TELLER the other girls want, whether
she likes him or not.
Girls is CRATE on having secrets mean
telling secrets. They make secret out OF
nothing at all, and tell it around to all the
other girls, orful quiet, just as II it was
sumthing dredful bleeve girl likes to
make bleeve they are doing sumthing
dredful.
Girls olways gifts their joggerfry lessons
better than a feller, but if they are going
anywhere they don't know their way bit,
and they are sure to git lost.
If girl don't feel like doing a thing you
can't make her, no matter whether she had
orter or not. If she WON'T she won't, and
she will git out of it somehow. That is all

Los ANGELES is about to astonish the
sporting world, and she will do things
with rush. This week, particularly,
will be distinguished by great activity.
This evening rod and gun club will be
organized, and its membership will en-
brace our best and most progressive citi-
zens. They propose to buy grounds and
erect club house, and to inaugurate
regular tournaments on the Keystone
plan. 1t will be the most bang-up club
in the state, and we will send team up
north to contest with the champions OF
that section. The Tennis club has also
got big movement onto itself. 1t, too,
will erect club house, and go in for
excelsior" The Bicycle club will like
wise come to the front. Altogether this
city and county never looked so ''peart"
and clipper as they do today. These
are all gentlemen's sports, and even
precisian cannot help wishing all these
enterprises godspeed.

CHICAGO DRIvE-wHERE 1T WILL LAND
HER.

When the people of Chicago made a
giant fight to have the.Columbian expo
sition located in their midst, they knew
well what they were about. The deni-
zens of the windy city have the genius
and instinct of success. If the New
Workers had known what was good for
them, and had made anything like
combined effort, they could readily have
secured the prize. But they were too
supercilious for that, and were too bus
lily engaged in trying to convert Ward
McAllister and his four hundred sons
and daughters of tinsmiths and saddlers
into brand new shoddy patricians, to
pay any attention to so footy thing as
the worlds fair. At bottom the people
of Gotham really wanted the exposition
to be held in their city, but they had
become so habituated,to the ''la de dah"
languor that they allowed the fair to
slip away from them. Chicago is now
reaping the benefit of New York's
folly. Since the announcement that the
Columbian exposition was to be located
in the "windy city" people have poured
in there by tens of thousands. The di-
mensions of the city are visibly spread
ing day by day. Real estate has already
enhanced from twenty to fifty per cent,
according to location. Rents have ad-
vanced from fifteen to twenty per cent,
and the increased profits of business and
the activity of the labor market justify
these advances. By the time the
exposition shall be fairly under way
there is no doubt but that the greatest
scence of activity ever chronicled on the
American continent will be witnessed in
Chicago. Visitors by the hundreds OF
thousands will crowd in there daily, and
they will disperse shekels galore. The
windy city will get boost" from the
exposition which will, in the current de-
hood of New York in population if not
in wealth. The commerce of the lakes
is destined to attain gigantic dimen-
sions. 1t already far exceeds our for
eign commerce. Chicago is now and will
probably remain the great center OF that
enormous trade. She will be to the
lake ports what New York is to Chicago
and Philadelphia. Her Atlantic rival
may tower over her in magnitude of the
dealings with foreign countries, and the
clearing house exhibits of New York
may continue to dwarf those of Chicago,
nevertheless there are men of middle
age who will live to see the city by the
lakes take the primacy of the city by the
sea. If there is one place the people of
Los Angeles ought to pattern by it is
Chicago. We should light our at present
modest rush-light at that splendid fam
besu. and prepare to do little illumi-
mating on our own account in the "sweet
by and BY"

THERE never was a better movement
started in Los Angeles than the Tax
payers Protective association. 1t ought
to be energized and expanded. Its mem
bership ought to embrace the leading
property owners of this city and county.
Its effect can only be salutary. Admit
ting that there may have been no down
right stealing in the knowledge of the
board of supervisors, there is little
doubt but that there have been gross ir-
regularities and extravaganza. The
same is true of the city government.
With Ell Hammond, the defaulting tax
collector, with forged warrants innum-
cradle, and with the appalling total of
$25 and upwards of taxation for every
man, woman and child in the city of
Los Angeles, it is high time that the
taxpayers should be on the alert. The
accounts of both the city and county
should be overhauled from turret to
foundation stone. If there has not
been thieyery there has certainly been

IrALY'S NAVAL ARMAMENTS = POSI-
BILITIES.

Now that Marquis Rudini has got
his back up again it may be of
interest to know how Italy stands
if a conflict should follow these
rather rasping diplomatic notes.
Italy has ten ironclads, five steel war
ships and two wooden war-ships, all of
the first class; twenty-one war vessels
of the second class; twenty-seven of the
third class; fifty ocean torpedo vessels;
sixty torpedo boats of various classes;
twenty-three ironclads for coast defense
in all navy of 25S guns and manned
by 1876 men. This is a pretty formid-
able showing as compared with the
slender navy of the United States. Yet
it is we'll to bear in mind the fact that
the Italian ironclads may or may not be
serviceable, and the United States has
always been remarkably lucky on the
seas. Admitting that these bulky yes
sells could stand voyage across the At
lantic, their enormous consumption of
coal would soon make them helpless, as
Italy has no coaling stations on this side
of the Atlantic. The perfection to
which submarine torpedo boats have
been brought of late years is not gener-
ally understood. About two months
ago an experiment of remarkable
character took place from the battery,
in New York. About. 8 O'Clock in the
evening the inventor of very destruct-
i've submarine torpedo jumped off
the dock and swan off to war ves-
sci lying in the water, and attached the
torpedo to it. No one on the ship knew
anything about the perilous attachment
until the inventor and his friends rowed
off to the man-of-war and pointed it out
to the captain and officers. If the auto
matte apparatus that explodes the tor
pedo had been adjusted with that view,
there would not have been scrap of the
ship left. 1t is the possibilities of the
torpedo and the equivocal value of iron
clads that will impart to the next naval
war an exceptional interest, apart from
the merits of the issues involved. 1t is
not yet three months since one of the
luOSb ulclCo Ol
in an elaborate article in leading Eng
-lish magazine, pronounced the ironclad
navy of Great Britain absolutely useless,
and had no hesitation in saying that his
country had thrown away her money in
a most absurd fashion. This gentleman
was certainly competent to speak intel
ligently on subject which he had
studied exhaustively both in theory and
practice. Should Italy and the United
States have brush we would not be
left long in doubt as to the efficiency of
ironclads. Those ten ironclads and five
steel war ships would soon settle the
question one way or the other.
