ITALY'S TURN NEXT.

less Haytians

New York. Dec. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Port Au Prince says:
More trouble of kind similar to
Hayti, and Port Au Prince may have
to face another menace of lombard
ment.
Italy has long had claims against
Hayti, and these, it is alleged, have
never been settled.
One claim. which has been pending
since 1898, was the case of the merchant
at Port De Paix, whose vessel and car
CO. worth $50. 600, were, it is alleged, il
legally seized and sold by the Haytian
government. The other was that of an
Italian fisherman. who was assassinat-
ed here, the man who was accused OF
committing the crime not having been
brought to justice yet.
Italy. it is reported, intends to push
the settlement of these claims at once,
and rumors have reached here that
Italian warships are being sent there to
back up the demands.

Can be called Quickly.

The statement has been made that
the governor, in calling a special ses-
sion of the legislature, is required to
give 80 days notice prior TO the as
sembling of that body. This idea does
not seem to be sustained by the con-
stitution, which provides that the gov
ernor may convene the legislature in
extraordinary session by proclama-
ton" Nothing is said concerning the
notice which shall be given, and the
general impression among the lawyers
is that the legislature may be called to-
gether at a moments notice.
