WASHINGTON. NAV 2-There is evidently
something curious in the relations between
the United States and Franco in regard 10
the Haytlan republic. Something is being
concealed, but the concealment appears TO be
on the part of France. The statement of NJ
Ribot, French minister of foreign affairs. in
the French chamber, that France had come
TO an understanding with the United States
in regard to the proposed session of Mole St
Nicholas, Havti, and that cousc-
quen;ly excitement was subsidinC and
that the United States squadron had
been Withdrawn from Port au Prince, is
received with undisguiSed surprise here by
the accuStodian. who is said 10 have author
lied counter statement that no uegotia-
lions have ever been had with France at
all on this subject, and by other branches of
the government the navy department. for
example, which has intimate knowledge of
the reasons t3T sending Admiral Gherardi
and his squadron TO Hayti In
formation isobtained that there was no
intention of making any demonstration
in connection withthe Mole 81. Nicholas
business by sending q squadron to Port
au Prince and that the order Tor its return
had nothing to do with the French govern
ment. When this IS explained it wiz leave
the French minister Of foreign affairs in
the attitude of Rudini in Italy of attempt
ing to make capital for home consumption
at the expense of accuracy in regard to the
good name OF the United States. There
are also other curious surround
ings to this affair Admiral
Gherardi, it is confidently stated, brought
back from President Hippolyte a reply
almost TO the verge Of inSOlencG in respect
TO the pledged concession of the cOaling sta
ton at Mole St. Nicholas. for the United
States, which he had up 10 recently pro-
fessed to foster. Ii is scarcely thought
such would have been sent without some
outside instigation. Rumors which have
for some time prevailed as to tho
withdrawal of Minister Fred Douglass from
Hayti. are now reported with increased
force. Another singular feature in the case is
that NJ. Roustan, French minister to Wash
ington, whose approaching transfer to
Spain was semi-ofiicially made from Paris,
has not yet withdrawn the denial he gave to
the statement OF his transfer. The denial
has been cabled back 10 Paris and remains
uncontradicted. NJ Roustan, who last
night said there was nothing in il, to-day
sends word TO callers that he is out, and de-
clines to say anything further on the sub
ieCt.

Kalakaua's Successor.

WASHINGTON. May Am interview with
Queen Lilirokalani on public affairs, re-
ported in the news from Honolulu, must
confirm the impression that the death of
King Kalazaua was blow to Americans i'll
the Sandwich islands. He was sincere
and ardent admirer aud friend of the United
States and its people. The interview re
ports his successor as saying that while she
likes Americans very much she likes Eng
hshmen more, and has her warmest friends
among them.
It is conceivable that adverse action on
the treaty proposed between the United
States and Hawaii might imperil this
friendship if the queens version is COR
rectly reported.

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, May 1.-The Evening Post
has sensational special from Washington
which says that Secretary Blaine has placed
himself in a position in regard TO the seal
fishery question which will result in great
personal scandal. There is evidence which
can be produced in court, if necessary, that
at Mr.. Elkins' request Blaine induced the
president to order an open sealing season.
Sir Julian Pauncefote then insisted upon
the reasons being given for the abrupt ces-
sation Of negotiations. Blaine claimed that
a close season would ruin the natives of
Seal Island. He had given an entirely diff
ferent reason to the president, mainly that
negotiations with England were not pro-
crossing at all.
Meanwhile, rumOrs connecting Blaine
financially with the Alaska company are
current and the scandal grows.
