Mr.. Blaine is desirous that his name

ION of the business OF the State Depart
ment.
Among Mr.. Blaine's official and DIP

garded as the greatest single achieve
met OF the administration, ami they
fully sympathIze with his wish To have
his name appear in connection with the
final and formal act.
The President IS so much gratited
with the broad and liberal spirit III
which Prime Minister Cauovas has met
the approaches of the United States and
recognized the force of our peculiar
commercial interests with Cuba that he
intends in his next annual message,
and 10y other means IT necessary, to
urge upon Congress the propriety of
Lowering considerably the Mckinley

Portau-Prince during the insurrection.
reached Navassa and reported that
President Hippolyte had been shot and
killed 10y one of the insurgents. The
report had not been further suhstsn-
tiated when the Alvo sailed. The story
of the revolt and subsequent murder
of Rlgnaud which tins vessel brought
entirely agree with the reports which
have already been published. HIP
poiyte Is supposed 10 have been killed
on June 3 or 4. The Alvo did not
touch ut Port-au-P Prince. but lay Tor
two days III Jacmel harbor, and her
captain and passengers obtained from
many authentic sources an account OF
the lnsurrecton IN June.
The first newsof the outbreak reached
Jacmel on June 4. The town lies on
the other SIDE of the island aud isabont
fifty miles from port-au-Prince. Early
on Thursday troop OF soldiers IN fuli
marching order came into the town.
From their uniforms it was seen that
they belonged To HippoIyte's own regi-
ment. They marched straight to the
Jail, which stands on an open space IN
the center of the town. Six political
prisoners who had been concerned IN
plots or Instructions at various times
were confined: there. The captain OF
the troop, after few words with the
officers III charge of the prison, marched
with his men to the cells where the
prisoners were confined. and without u
word OF explanation, dragged them out
luto the open square. Most OF
the prisoners were asleep at the time
and were led out into the sunlight
half dazed. Before they could fairly
realize their position the captain gave
the word OF command, the soldiers
drew back few PAGES, raised their
rifles to their shoulders and fired vol
ley. The prisoners fell to the ground
without groan. Each was instantly
killed. BY tins time half the city was
fiocking TO the prison and rum"rs flew
from mouth to mouth of the battle
which had taken place at Port-au-
Prince. The news of the murder of
Regaud, the French merchant, aroused
great indignation. The inhabitants,
however, were afraid to take sides IN
the affair until further particulars ar
rived. Later in the day the soldiers
return ed To Port-au-Princc. The great
est excitement prevailed at Jacmei.
