LEGITIME sTIRS UP DIsCORD.
Port-au-Prince Under Martial Law as
Consequence.

consequence.
New YoRK, May 10 Martial law has been
proclaimed in Port-au- Prince, armed soldiers
patrol the streets night and day ana no ono
is allowed to enter or leave tho city without
a passport. The Haytian capital is literally
in state of siege and the cause of this con-
dition of affairs is the agitation caused by
supporters Of General Lcgitime, the deposed
president
This was the news contained in letters re-
ceived yesterday by merchants engaged in
the Haytian trade in New York, and it
amply proves that there is more than grain
Of truth in the recent reports of another
threatened outbreak in the little island re-
pubic. 1t was also announced that Mr..
t'irmin, minister of finance and foreign af-
fairs in President Hippoyte's cabinet had
resigned, though no explanation of his con-
duct was given. Nj. lie Chard, the letters
stated, had been appointed to temporarily
fill the vacancy.
The report that any attempt had been
made on the life of President Hppolyte was
denied. He has been IN Port-au-Prince
since April % and no attempt therefore could
have been made TO kill him in Jayni at the
time given in the report of some DAYS ago.
There was rumor current among the
merchants down town yesterday that Hauni-
bal Price, present minister from Havti at
OF permanent minister of finance and foreign
affairs in Hippolytes cabinet.
Everyone in any way interested in Hay
tian commerce eagerly discussed the new
phase affairs had assumed. The exact date
on which martial law was proclaimed In the
Haytian capital was not given In the letters
1t was said the supporters of Lcgitme had
been actively engaged in stirring up a
feeling against the presidents admins
tration So far as known the work of
these agitators was confined to Port au-
Prince, where Legitimes influence has al
ways been strongest The deposed presi-
dent who is now sojourning in Jamaica has,
it Is said, been regularly posted on the work
Of his secret emssaries. President Hippolyte
too, has not been mapping, and he is now de-
termined to nip the threatened uprising in
the bud and at the same time, if possible, bring
the guilty ones to justice. VINO Legltime's
agents are is not even hnted at. In other
parts of Hayti everything is peaceful and
commerce thrives. The result is that Haytis
finances are steadily improving
So far as the ceding of Mole ST. Nicholas to
the United States for a coaling station is con-
cerned, it was said to be as far from realiza-
tion as ever.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Dec. 10.-Mrs.

poisoning of Mrs. Bertha Erickson. who
had been allowed to go free pending
the procurement of bonds which had
been fixed at So, 600, was arrested at her
farm Wednesday and taken to the
county Jail. About one hour after in
generation young man of about
twenty-five called to see her, and the
two engaged in fifteen minutes CONVEX
satiOn. He told her he was from Rice
Lake and en- route TO Chicago to pro-
cure eminent legal talent to conduct
her case; that he had just left William
CarsOn's residence, where he had talked
with her attorney, V. W. James, and
Gen. Burlington, one of her bondsmen,
and they had requested him to get all
points from her as to the death
of Mrs. Erickson. He left. but
returned at 10 O'Clock. and had second
interview, during which Mrs. Russell
called up. as she supposed, by tele-
phone, Mr.. James, and the answer came
back that everything was all right. She
expressed satisfaction at the situation,
but in few minutes after the stranger
left Mr.. James. who had been appraised
Of the strane er's call by the COUNTY Off
GERS, called at the Jail to pronounce the
whole affair mystery, and that neither
he or MesSrs. Carson or Burlington had
seen the man who had interviewed Mrs.
Russell. Who answered the telephone
is mystery. Mr.. James was very in

sell was much worried in mind to think
she had thus been led into making

resented himself as near friend to her

to go TO bed and sat in the loom with
