Haiti,s Financial distress.

FORT AU Prince, July 25.-Financial affairs
In Hippolyte's region have reached such q crisis
that it is absolutely necessary for the govern
ment to have ready money to meet current ex-
penses, and that at once. The government has
asked the merchants OF Port au Prince for q
loan Of sl,6O0,00o in paper. The promise was
made that the sum would be repaid in gold with
interest at IL per cent. per month. The mer-
chants, including those of all foreign countries,
doing business at Port au Prince, held meeting
and decided it would be unwise to advance the
money unless the Haitian government would
promise to redeem 100000 in paper issued by
the government under Legitimeis rule, and
which has never been repaid even in part

Italians ConspirIng to Take PItIsburg.
PIrrsBURG. April "a special from
Newcastle. Pa, says: Today Sebastian
Gabarrio, the leader of $50 Italians en-
ployed near WampuU, told a strange
story. GabarrIo, who is a naturalized
citizen and a property owner IN Wampum,
seemed to place considerable weight upon
the information impaired. He said a
strange Italian asked him il he would go
into a plot to avenge his countrymen who
had been killed at New Orleans. The
stranger said 20, 200 Italians would be
brought into Pittsburg in FIVE hours
time, and with the aid Of guns and by
surprising the citizens. they would be
able to take the city without much trouble.
He strongly urged Gabarno to get the
Italians at Wampum to consent to meet
Others in Pittsburg at a given signal. He
then told how every Italian settlement in
Allegheny and Beaver counties we're re-
ceiving the same information, and how
each settlement expected to send a large
delegation. In the afternoon the Pitts.
burg envoy left for Carbon to stir up the
Italians there. He said secret meetings
would be held in the near future to talk
matters over among themselves.
A dispatch from Wheeling states that
1000 Italians near Moundsville, now IN
ployed on the railroad and who have
been drilling, intend to 20 to New Or
leans, though for what purpose they re-
fuse to state.
Whatever OF truth there may be- in the
reports from Newcastle aud Wheeling as
to an attack on Pittsburg in case of
trouble between this country and Italy,
one thing is certain, for the past week an
unusual number of Italians have been
arriving in this city daily and today squads
OF twenty aud thirty we're unusually
numerous. The police department has
been quietly at work aud secured a list of
several hundred Italian boarding houses
and the daily invoice of strangers are
under strict supervision.

WASHINGTON, April 3.--The news re-
ceived at the war department of the
etfoIts being made by Western army
officers to carry out the provisions of tho
army appropriation bill authorizing the
enlistment of . 1000 Indian recruits is very
discouraRing. The officers report that
the Indians will not enlist in the infantry
under any circumstances, as they, abhor
walking. They will not enlist in the
cavalry except as scouts, because they do
not care to bind themselves for FIVE years
service, nor to be subject to removal to
distant parts of the country. Then, too.
they want their women with them, and
the great majority of the bucks are
physically unfit for military service. 1t is
doubted whether a single Indian company
can be recruited in the West, but the out
look in the South is more hopeful. At
Mount Vernon barracks, Ala. where the
Apache Indians VINO led the Geronimo
campaign are placed, it is said that the
lndians-some thirtv-iye or forty-are
about to enlist. These Indians are said
to be progressing rapidly IN the path of
civilization, and the almost incredible fact

A british subject Murdered.

NEW YoRK, April 3.-The old bound
airy question between Venezuela and Eng
land, and the ill-feeling resulting there
from, resulted in a murder last month.
William Campbell, a British grant holder
Of Barima, went to visit a friend on the
Venezuela side OF the Anacooroo river.
Three Venezuelan policemen went to ar
rest him, and Notwithstanding that he of
tered no resistance, one OF them shot him
10 the right hand, SCATTERING it badly.
de was soon released, no charge of any
kind being preferred against him. He
died in a couple Of weeks from blood pol
souing, induced by neglect of the wound
while he was in charge of the Venezuelan
police. This affair has aroused a bitter
feeling against the Venezuelans among
the British, and the Oemerara Ar0osy
prints a long article demanding that the
governor insist on the trial OF the murder
ers, and lntluates to the admiral on the
station that the services of a guuboat
may be necessary. The article says: I'VE
are not ~contoundlug the Venezuelan gov
with the rough men who repre-
sent them at Anacnoroo, but if that gov
should be unwise enough to
stand between the murderers and the
fate they have cnurted, our country
should not hesitate in resOrting to action
worthy of its name"
