THE TRUTH ABOUT HAITI.
Fred Douglas Says President Hippolyte

Is Level-Headed and Popular.
New YORK, July 3.-Frederick Douglas,
United States minister to Haiti, arrived
here this morning on the steamer Prince
William.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 3-Frederick
Douglas, minister 10 Haiti, reached Wash
ington City tonight. To Post reporter
tonight he said the story that he was COM
PEELED to remain indoors during the re-
cent trouble in Haiti was hoax. Speak
ing of the revolution he said that for
time things were exceedingly uncomforta-
bic. President Hippolyte was equal
to the emergency and the rebels
were soon glad enough to flee to the
the mountains. He had warned them
that it would be dangerous to make the
attack, but they thought otherwise. They
only numbered about sixty, but it ap-
appeared to him, said Douglas, that they
had million guns and knew how to use
them. All is quiet now, he added, and he
did not think there would be any further
trouble soon.
Hippolyte has taught the would-be
reyolutionists lesson they will not soon
forget. He has shown himself a level
headed man, and stands higher up with
with his people than ever before. The
president is exceedingly popular in Port

THE CHARITY BALL.
Repeated Before q Brilliant Audience
ssNerves', for Tonight,

Repeated Before Brilliant Audience
sNerves'' for Tonight.
''The Charity Ball" was repeated last
night before very large audience at the
opera-house and again gave exquisite de-
light. The beauty of both the play and
the company in this. performance, lies in
the extreme natuFdlness of every scene
and incident, and the fact that every part
has been SO appropriately cast. The
audience sits and seems to behold
life in perfect reality presented on
the mimic stage, and passions and
weakness. mirth and pathos follow each
other in quick succession. Sadness is
chased away by charming comedy, and ere
surfeit of laughter is felt the deeper and
nobler sentiments are awakened with COM
plete continuity of thought. Though "The
CHARITY Ball" was given before on
Wednesday evening it drew last night the
largest audience of the Lyceum season.
Mr.. Kelley, Mr.. lie Moync, Mr.. Walcot,
Mr.. Wheatcroft and Mr.. Bellows again
revealed their bright talents and extraor-
binary powers, while Miss Cayvan, Miss
Shannon, Mrs. Walcot and Mrs. Whiffen
renewed their triumphs of the first per-
Torrance of 1.-The Charity Ball."
In the afternoon today "The Wife" viii
be repeated. This was the play selected
for the opening night, and through it the
Lyceum company at once jumped into
popular favor. This will be the last OPP
portunity that the people of Seattle will
have to witness this brilliant play, and
from present indications the house will be
completely filed.
A special interest will be attached to the
production of Nerves" tonight. 1t will
serve as the company's farewell to Seattle,
and will be given before great and dis
tinguished audience The mayor and
council Of Seattle, and q committe of the
Chamber Of Commerce will entertain at
the opera-house all the prominent Fourth
of July visitors, thus many eminent
men of other communities will be present.
"Nerves" is the only strictly farce-comedy
played by the Lyceum company, and it
teens with wit, humor and amusing COM
plications and situations. Following is
the cast of characters:

Narrow Escape From Drownipr.

James Johnson and John Bruhn had a
narrow escape from drowning last night at
the Jackson street slip. The two men
placed tool chest and other heavy arti-
cles in small rowboat and then got in
themselves. One of them stepped on the
gunwale of the boat, which tipped far
enough to allow a large amount of water
TO rush in and sink it. The men grasped
the edge Of the slip and hung on. When
their cries finally attracted the attention
OF two boys who were passing, they had
been in the water for half an hour. As
sistance was procured and the men drawn
out of the water. Both were nearly ex-
hausted and could not have held out much
longer

An Intercep.ed Dispatch.

Senator w. C. Rutter was in the city last
evening, and to Posr-ISTELLIGEScER re-
porter made complaint that dispatch he
had written 10 his friend, George Parks. at
Gilman, Tuesday night notifying him that
the militia were coming, had never been
received by Mr.. Parks. Mr.. Rutter says
that upon learning that the militia were
going to Gilman, he asked Colonel Haines
if he might not notify Mr.. Parks of the
fact, and was told that he might. He then
wrote the following dispatch:
SEATTLE, June 50, 1891.
George Parks, Gilman, Wash Two companies
of militia leave here at once to arrive at Gilman
about daylight.
Keep the miners cool under all circumstances.
W. RUTTEE.
Senator Rutter says that Colonel Haines
said it would be all right to send the dis
patch, but that NJ. Keith Jones took it
with the remark: "You can't send it, but
will" Mr.. Parks never received the dis
match
