Moreno's Transpacific Gable.
WASHINGTON, Jan. BE. G. Mo-
reno, who claims the honor of having
projected the transpacific cable, was
before the House Committee on For
eign Affairs to-day in behalf of that
enterprise and to advocate the ex-
tension of time allowed in the charter
for its construction authorized by
Congress in 1876. He said there was
no doubt that the necessary capital
could be obtained. The Hawaiian
Government and those also of the
countries of eastern Asia would I'M
Goubtedly assist in carrying out the
project. A subcommittee will take
Moreno's recommendation into con-
sideration and make n report to the
full committee.
The Canal Scandal.
The canal scandal is still agitating
France and disgusting her neighbors.
The Ribot Ministry has gone to
pieces, de Freycinet is out and PTesi-
dent Carnot is hard pressed to avoid
impeachment. At the same time the
Royalists are plotting to bring about
coup to overthrow the Republic,
and have been shown to be mixed up
in the general disgrace. The trial of
the accused bribers has brought
Charles De Lesseps to the witness
stand, and he is wrecking revenge on
those who wrought his ruin, by testi-
tying freely as to who was connected
with the scheme, and who accepted
brides, etc. His testimony shows that
the whole thing was the most collos-
sal fraud of modern times. The con-
yiction of the accused is said to be
certain. The foreign correspondents
have told too much truth to suit the
Government, and they have all been
ordered to quit France, or suffer arrest
and punishment.
Revolution in Hayti.
A dispatch from Jamaica says that
the threatened revolution in
Hayti against the Government OF
Hippolyte has broken out. Messages
have been received stating that a bat
tile was fought this morning in the
streets of village called Lannee de
NeaH, settlement back of Port au
Prince. AS soon as word of the upris-
ing was received at the Government
house, Hippolyte issued orders fol
10 ho tol in oh NJ
time little army of 800 soldiers anC
20 commanding officers were on the
way.
While fighting was in progress a.
this point, news was received at POr
au Prince of another uprising near St
Michael, and that residents were il
terror of the result of this uprising
All places of business were closed anC
even the private residences were bar
ricaded and occupants sought safer
shelter.
Troops are under order to leave to
night to suppress the rebellion, ant
they will be fastened with all tn,
speed that the limited facilities of the
republic offer. President Hippolyt
at once issued manifestos announcing
that these uprisings are nothing NOR
than emeutes, and that there is NJ
organized rebellion or armed opposi
ton to the Government.
In the elections which were hell
day before yesterday Hippolyte'
friends and relatives were chosen Dep
uties, but their success is due to tn,
display of force at the polls, which
terrorized voters. Armed troops wer
stationed at the polling places, and a
the point of the bayonet the ballot

of the President.
Notwithstanding the encouragin
terms used in the manifesto of tn
President he is undoubtedly fearful {
a general uprising and is in terror {
his life. The guards about his hous
have been doubled and other precal
tions We're taken to insure his pc
sonal safety.
