A CoNITIOy CT CHAOS.
Political Aspect If Cuba Is Now Very
Cloudy.


Cloudy.
Kingston, Jamaica, September 2S.--(Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press .)-The
political aspect in the Black Republic
(Hayti) is again becoming very clcndy'
Under the regime of HippolNe the late
president, who ruled with firm but brutal
hand, the uneasy spirits were kept TO some
extent in check and suspects were either
punished by imprisonment or at once ex-
lied.
The new president, Tirius Augustine ST.
mon Sam, is not a man OF the same call
ber either mentally OF physically as MS
predecessor and the constant disagreeueh's
with his ministers, the unjust ana corrupt
administrator of his dependents anu spoVe
all the terrible depression from wnlch the
country has been suffering during the iast
twelve months have combined TO reuse tie
nopulaee into a state of ferment, which,
unless promptly quelled, will have serious
results.
The appointment of Calssthen Fourchard
as minister OF finance few months ago
was hailed with delight by the people end
he was everywhere greeted as the savior
of his country. But the presidents jeai-
ousy caused his downfall and exile. He
is now in the United States, and, it is al
legged, is entering into an agreement with
Stewart, the new candidate for the presi-
dency, to stand or fall together in any at
tempt which may be made upon the presf-
Dental chair. Fourchard is expected to
arrive shortly, when the ball viii be set
rolling.
The prevalent misery among the people,
the resignation OF Firnlan the successor OF
Fourchard, and the exactions of the Cow
eminent caused condition OF chaos. Mer-
chants refuse to lend money, and as the
treasury has been depleted, revolution is
almost inevitable. The government, too.
is Awakening to the condition of affairs.
Port all Prince is filled with soldiers draft
ed from evepy part OF the country These
ragged, half-starved men will fight on
either side for the prospect of coed meal.
The mayor of Port au Prince has aopar-
emily declared war on foreigners. The goods
of Mr.. Melbar, an American citizen. were
seized and Sold at auction lately without
cause. The charge against him was
general one OF tripotage or mischiefmak-
ing.
similar act OF highhanded Injustice on
German named Obermeyer resulted In
the German minister taking the matter up.
and holding the government responsible. :.
Fourchard's friends In New York and
Kingston are using every endeavor to pro-
mote his cause and his many friends In
Hayti are not idle.
