Is HIPPOLYTE CRAZY?
Queer Actions of the President of the Black
Republic.

Republic.
A New York special to the Philadelphia Press
says: According TO a letter received today by
gentleman in this city from friend in Port
au Prince the intelligent residents of that dis
tracted town believe that President Hippolyte
is insane.
His disposition to massacre his enemies is
not regarded an indication of madness. 1t
was his queer conduct on May 80, when all the
members of the diplomatic corps at Port au
Prince called on him to protest against the
violation Of the Mexican consulate as an asy-
lum of refuge by Hippolyte's savage soldiers.
-Four men. Gen. SOUL. NJ. Rossier, Leger Cauvin
formerly Hippolyte's minister Of justice). and
his brother, we're dragged from the Mexican
consulate and shot to death.
Mr.. Tweedy, the acting British consul, talked
very sharply to Hippolyte. He demanded to
know why the treaty which made the Mexican
consulate a refuge had been violated, and asked
what assurance the consuls representing the
other governments had that their sacred Offices
would be free from the invasion of assassins.
Hippolyte became very angry. He shook his
hand at Mr.. Tweedy, glared at the other consuls
and strobe to the door.
rs this the way" he exclaimed. s'to talk to
the president of this great country
With that he hurried out, slamming the door
behind him. The consuls looked at one another
in CONSERVATION Presently from an adjoining
room came the soothing notes of flute. Hip
polyte had resorted to music to cool his nerves
just the consuls were about leaving in dis
gust Hippolyte, looking suave and apologize
entered the room and apologized for his strange
behavior by saying he merely went out to give
an order 10 the commandment.
The letter says that Hippolyte had been sub
ject TO violent fits of insanity before he be-
came prominent in Haytian politics. and that
he was put in strait jacket once four or five
years ago. Firmin, his former minister of
foreign affairs, resigned because of the erratic
actions of his chief. IT is said that the black
president has frequent fits of crying. which are
succeeded by explosions of homicidal rage. His
assassination, the letter writer says is looked
forward to as certainty. but the reports that
he had been already killed are untrue.
