The statement has been made, apparently on
good authority, that this government 10 Sc

all diplomatic relations with Hayti. While this
could not be verified by SrAR reporter either
at the hands Of naval or State Depart

to be more than q small foundation for the
story. The action of the Haytian government

United States for q coaling station 10 re-

Minister Firmin to the special commissioners

been taken by the officials here.

just now would serve double purpose. 1t
would even things up with that small nation,
and 1t would also give the government here q
chance to dispose Of Minister Douglass by Civ

for an indefinite period.
AN UNREDEEMED PLEDGE.
A special telegram from this city to the New
York Herald says: During the uprising two
years ago Hippolyte sent commissioner to this
country who virtually pledged to the United
states the lease OF q coaling station and certain
commercial privileges in the event Of the
United States lending her moral support to
Hippolyte. This the United States did and it
proved the turning point in the uprising in the
black republic, for shortly afterward Legitime
was deposed. Recently a commission was sent
to Port au Prince to secure fufillment of the
pledges. Instead they received q very irritat-
ing reply, in which Hippolyte absolutely declined
to enter into any negotiations for the Lease Of
the mole and Directing to the continued pres
ence in Port au Prince Of United States men,
of-war The letter completely ignored any OBJ
legation toward the United States. Minister
douglass will soon be in this country again on
a leave of absence, and it is probable that be-
fore his return all diplomatic intercourse will
have ceased. 1t will lie with Hayti to make
such apologies and repatriation as may be re-
