anger of the crowd present that the

FEARS INTERFERENCE.
Why the Haytians Are so Willing to Break
OF Official Intercourse With the
United States.

NEW YORK. July 18th Atlas Line mail
steamer Athos, from Port Limoh. arrived
here this afternoon. Late in June the Athos
touched at Hayti, and according TO her Off
GERS. il was learned that Fred
Douglass, United States minister 10
Hayti, had left his post at
Port au Prince because the Haytian gov
ernment did not care TO recognize the rep
resentative of the United States, and it was
rather the desire of the Black Republic
to break off all intercourse with this coun-
try. The Haytian government, it
was said, fears the United States,
and in order to avoid interference
OF any kind from this government would
sacrifice official intercourse with ii.
There had been no report OF a revolu-
ton when the Athos touched at Hayti,
and no news of that country was
received Oh the return trip when
she put into Kingston except that Legi-
time was still there and that he was grow
ing in favor. The Haytians prefer him to
Hippolyte and only await his word to in
stitute another revolution.
DOUGLASS DENIES IT.
WASHINGTON, July minister Doug
lass when shown the New York telegram
tonight said that there was no truth ia it.
As far as he knew he
had received no intimation
either IN Hayti or here that the Haytian
government wished to break off all inter
course with the United States or was dis
satisfied with him as minister.
