POLITICAL MURDERS
Six Men Who DenOunce Hippo
lyte Publicly Shot.
CONSUL CORTE MAKES A REPORT
He Says the New Orleans Victims Were Killed
Because They We're Italians and Com
Detitors in the Labor Market.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Atlas line
passenger steamer Alvo, which arrived
from Haytean ports this morning, brought
news Of continued outbreaks and the
Wholesale slaughter of political prisoners
in all parts of the island. The Alvo also
brought news of the rumored shooting of
President Hippolyte. This rumor was
freely circulated in Jacmel and outlying
towns outside of Port-au- Prince, when the
Alvo left the former port on June 8. The
rumor could not be confirmed by the peo-
pie on the Alvo before she left Jacmel, but
it was discredited.
The populace of Jacmel was in fevered
excitement over what they termed an out
rageous murder, which had occurred the
day before. When news of the slaughter
citizens violently denounced Hippolyte.
Six of them were arrested and word sent
to Hippolyte. A squad Of soldiers came
back the next morning, took out the six I'M
fortunates and shot them TO death In the
public square in the presence OF their
friends and relatives. After leaving JAG
mel. the Alvo touched at Novassa island
and there again heard rumors Of Hippo
lyte's assassination. The steamer kear-
sage was also met there, her commander
having heard the news and being on his
way 10 Port au Prince.
In New York this evening the Haytien
minister, Price, and the officials of the
steamship company denied there was any
truth in the rumor.

LONDON, June 1.-THE popular crusade

of abating in strength or bitterness. After
lecture delivered Monday night at Car
narvon, Wales. by Henry NJ. Stanley, the
band played ''God Bless the Prince OF
Wales" The Welshmen, however, nc
sooner heard the first strains of the IA
miliar air than they raised a storm OF
Kisses which almost drowned the noise OF
the band.
In a letter published to-day IN the
Pail Mall Gazette, the writer asks why a
captain in a household regiment who ia
wanted by the police in connection with
the Cleveland street scandal, and who is
now residing Tunis, should have been al
lowed to resign when Sir William Gordon
Cumming was dismissed from the army for
his share in the Tranby Croft scandal.
At the last setting OF the BERN ondsey

the baccarat scandal and the parties con-
nected Herewith. DR.. Esmond moved in
energetic terms that the gam bling propen-
sites OF his royal hlghness the Prince OF

and an evil example to the youth Of the
nation. He also moved that copies of this
