NEW YORK, June 1o.-lSpeciall-Ac-
cording TO letter received from Port
au Prince yesterday, President Hippo
lyte nttem pied on May 90, to take four
political prisoners from the Mexican
consulate in Hayti, when the entire
diplomatic corps called on the presi-
dent May 30 to protest against this
violation of international law. Hippolyte
attempted to play high handed game
OF bluff and he might hayo succeeded
had not the German consul threatened
to report the matter to his governments.
Minister Fred Douglass, it is said in
the letter, stood troubling with fear,
and heard tho black ruler insult tho
flag of every civilized nation, including
his own. and ho did not dare offer anv
protest. Terror reigns supreme at Port
au Prince: llippolytc continues to kill
his enemies, but thoy accumulate faster
than ne can kill them. The real insti-
gator and leaders OF tho movement
against him have escaped his ven
gcance. Some of them are secretly at
work III Port ali Prince
llippolytc, the writer thinks, is un-
ao""SSuiJ SiHHy. ~ Is stated that WlCn
the consulS called on him he became
angry and rushed out of tho room and
was soon after beard playing flute in
the next room. Tho consuls were
leaving when tho minister OF foreign
affairs camc in and begged them to re
main, saying tho president hal bee
summoned away on important matters,
out would return immediately Tho
minister then went out and apparently
demonstrated with Hippolyse.as he soon
re-entered tho room and accused himself
on the same grounds mentioned by his
ministers.
Referring again to Minister Douglas
tue writer says ne evidently regards the
llaytien government with much mora
verneratlon than his own. The writer
vigorously adds that as the United States
claims moral jurisdiction over IGayti
it is about time minister of some DO
cision was sent there to replace Doug
las. Members OF the diplomatic corps
have appealed to Douglas to sustain
the moral position the Monroe doc
trine calls for. but in vain.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-ISpecial l.
The North American Commercial Com
pany, by its attorney, to-day filed with
the Acting Seer etary of the Treasury a
protest against the United States Gov
ernment in preventing that company
from taking tho number Of seals stipu-
lated in the contract.
The company presents claim for four
hundred thousand dollars loss by being
compelled to stop taking sosls on July
goth last year, when only one. third of
the contract number of seals had been
taken.
Tho company also gives notice it
Will claim from the United States re-
endorsement for the loss sustained dur
ing the year throughout and with the
agreem cnt with the english government
recently promulgated by the President.
Another claim OF $4,000 is presented
for. expenditures which the company
has made in providing for maintainancc
and education of tho islanders OF st.
George ard st. Paul, which cXpcndi-
ture were imposed upon the company
under terms Of its contract with the
United States
The protest ends with this para
graph: "lf it may be assumed, as Eng.
land has asserted and this Government
has denied, that tho eastern portion of
Bering sea is not marine territory Of
the United States, but is high sea-
the CON pany respectfully submits
that it is not competent for Great Brit
ian and the United States alone or for
any other two governments to deter
minc who shall be permitted to navigate
these waters or to operate fishing and
taking seals on the high seas, and the
company respectfully points out to the
honorable Secretary Of the Treasury
that its rights have been overlooked by
said agreement between the two govern
ments in that it deprives the lessee from
taking seals which it is authorized to
take by law and its contract with tho
United States, thereby inhicting Il
severe loss upon said company in order
to obtain the consent of England to
arbitrate tho question as to tho right
OF Canadian poachers to destroy tho seal
industry by pclagic scaling"
