east Gale-Reported in No Inn
mediate Danger.
Special to THE MoRxISo O CALL.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. Feb. 3.-The
steamer Haytian Republic went ashore at
Double Bluff. opposite Foulweather Bluff,
at s O'Clock last night during a southeast
gale amid binding snOwstorm.
The steamer Is n 10 immediate danger.
Bad luck appears to still hover over the
steamer Haytian Republic. Several years
ago the vessel was seized by the Haytian
authorities during a revolution IN that
country. 1t was alleged that she carried
con traband munitions of war. and duringthe
controversy that followed the seizure the
United States came very near taking for
chile measures to make the little island
republic comes to terms.
For the past six months the Haytian Re-
public has been plying between Portland
and Puget Sound ports, carrying freight
for the Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
The steamer is OF wood, of 1889 gross ton
mage and was built at Bath, Me-, in 1885.
1t was while plying between New York
and Hsyti that she caused the international
controversy.
From the Atlantic the steamer was sent
around the Horn two years ago. and was
purchased by the Kodiak Packing Company.
The vessel is still registered at this port.
While running in opposition to the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company between this
city and Puget Sound, she met with two
accidents. On one occasion she went ashore
at Port Townsend, and soon after that was
badly stove In by collision with barge in
the Columbia River.
No apprehension is felt over her present
predicament. and it is thought that Captain
Ross, her commander, will bring her safely
into Portland
