Lying OF the Island of Tortugas.
Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 29.-Gen. Fran
co.'s Manigat. who has been plotting to
start revolution in Hayti, was arrested
to-day as he was leaving Kingston to
board a vessel which had brought arms
and ammunition for him from an American
port. Manigat and his men planned to go
on this vessel to Hayti and begin hostili-
ties at once.
POLITICAL REFUGEES DEPoRTED.
New York, Jan. 29.-The Clyde line
steamer Ell Callao, which arrived last
night, makes stops at number of Hay
tian ports. Her officers had heard moth
ing of the troubles in Hayti or San Do
mingo At st. Marc, however, they said
that the government of Hayti had put
aboard of her two colored men,
who were political fugitives from
Santo Domingo. Their passage
was paid to Anagua, an English possess
the political agitators to deal with that it
can handle, the officers said, and it de-
cided to get rid of the Dominican refugees.
The two men, however decamped at Port
de Paix. At this port another Dominican,
also refugee from his own land, was put
on the El Callao to be taken to Anagua,
but he also left the vessel when she
touched at Cape Hay tien.
WAR SHIP ON THE WATCH.
While the vessel lay off the harbor of
Cape Haytien, the officers noticed out to-
ward the Island of Tortugas a warlike
little steamer of about 800 tons. She was
brigantine rigged and was painted black
She was cruising about and seemed to be
keeping a sharp lookout on all the ship

to that of one of the Haytien gunboats.

lookout for the two vessels said to have
been purchased by the friends of Gen.
Manigat to take part in his proposed re-
volt against the government of Hippolyte.

president an Official document telling him
how the black republic should be con-

When Mr. Smythe was appointed min

negotiations for the requirement of ST.
Nicholas Mole as a coaling station for
United States naval vessels. but it is said
that newspaper publication of the

the state department is anxious to hear
whether the report of Mr.. Smythe's al
