CUBANS IN HAYTI.
An Expedition Might Go From
There to the East End of Cuba.

PORT AU PRINCE (HaytD, May ..
l-(Copyrighted 1898 by the Associated
Press)-It is estimated that there are
about $4,000 Cuban refugees in Hayti,
the great majority of course in this
city. A singular absence of enthu-
siasm among them over the interven-
ton of America in behalf of their peo-
pie is remarked. If hope is at the fever
point, they do not show it.
At one special resort in Port Au
Prince. Cubans of nearly every class
congregate in the evening, drink.
smoke. play cards, sing and talk of
the war They evince by far less ex-
citement over hostilities than do the
Haytiens, who group themselves daily,
little before and little after the
hour of the siesta in front of the Res
taurant DE Ia I-aix, and the Hotel Cen
trail and divide their attention between
the movements of the gold premium
and the achievements, actual and pros
pective, of the Americans. The Wild
est and strangest and most absurd ru-
more find ready currency in the city.
The Chairman of the Cuban junta in
Hayti is DR. E. J. Nunez, who declares
himself an American citizen. Anoth-
er leader of the junta is DR.. E. Here
aux. DR.. Nunez is seriously consid-
ering the suggestion that if the Gu
bans in Hayti would secretly organize
force to join the insurgents the United
States would undoubtedly send arms
and munitions of war to some conve-
nient point at the eastern end of Cuba
for their use. They could pass from
here to Cuba in sailing vessels with
out much danger of capture. A re-
cent rumor that a Spanish cruiser had
taken an American three-master off
the Mole st. Nichols was received in
Port au Prince with absolute incredu-
lity and thus far there has been no con-
firmation of it, About a week ago
former Haytien General, Forsainville,
called on the American Minister and
offered to raise a battalion of 500 men
to serve under the American flag in
Cuba He was informed that the
American Government would not au-
thorze or sanction the recruiting of an
armed force in a foreign country as
that would be a fragrant violation of
international law. OF course, to equip
and provision such a force after it had
been landed in Spanish territory would
be different.
LIE report l0dI the OH1leu soldlcS
has negotiated with the Haytien Gov
ernment for the purchase of the gun
boat Crete A. Pierrot, one of the fin
est vessels in the latter's navy has
been circulated. Admiral Killock, the
highest naval officer of Hayti told the
correspondent of the Associated Press
yesterday that it was true and that
the Haytien Government had refused
the offer made to it, for the express
reason that it could not spare the
vessel. The craft has an imposing ram
and her armament is excellent, her
guns being of the latest type She
has an entire complement of rapid-fire
ordnance. Her officers would like to
serve under the American flag. Her
second officer is an American who was
in the Federal navy during the civil
war in the United States.

Then, he adds, the arms and ammu-
milton should be conveyed inland by
United States soldiers. The Captain
says the company which landed
through the surf at Cabanas had a
narrow escape. The soldiers were
nred upon by Spanish cavalry con-
eealed in the tangled underbrush and
the fire was replied to with the result
that one Spanish officer and three men
were hit, only one man on the Ameri-
can side was wounded. = latter, a
newspaper correspondent, RECEIVED a
slight flesh wound in the arm. The
Wasp and the Manning shelled the
woods and covered the retreat of the
soldiers to the Gussie. On Friday the
Spaniards tried to hit the Gussie from

shells burst close on board, but none
of the fragments struck.

Prices Of Imported Food Advancing
in Havana.

KINGSTON Uamaica) May 10
copyrighted, 1898, by the Associated
Press)-The French cruiser Fulton
from Havana on MAY Sth, arrived here
yesterday and landed thirty-eight refu-
gees at the quarantine station.
The Fulton will now proceed to San
tiago de Cuba with provisions for the
French Consul there, who has cabled to
Kingston requesting that food be sent
him and announcing that famine prices
prevail at Santiago de Cuba.
The officers of the Fulton until their
arrival here have been unable to obtain
any definite news of the battle of Ma
Mia. The first bulletins received iIa
Havana from Madrid We're not allowed
to be changed and official Havana in
sisted that the honors were about even,
as the American fleet had been unable
to land men.
1t appears from what the officers of
the Fulton say that the populace and
soldiers of Havana are disheartened by
the blockade and the improbability of
any succor reaching the city On the
other hand a great American invading
army is expected to land in Cuba short
ly.
The prices of imported food, salt meat,
fish and flour are steadily mounting at
Havana, but vegetables are to be had
there in plenty, and there is no proba-
bility of the troops actually starving
until the city is beleagured from the
landslide.

Captured Fishermen Say They Are
Pitiful

ditions in Havana, resulting from the
blockade are being gradually brought
out by information obtained from fish
ing smacks and other small vessels
captured off the coast
Affairs at Havana now appear to be
worse than at any time since the Wey-
Ter regime. The fishermen who at
first braved the blockade for the high
price which fish brought in Havana ran
the risk not for money but for food. A
number of these have been captured
by the vessels of the blockading fleet,
nearly all of them being released after
having been questioned by our officers.
They all unite in picturing the state of
things at Havana as being pitiful in

The Song That Was Unheeded.

She sang love song to him,
A song Of long ago;
The sweet old words she uttered
In fervent strains and low.
She looked with tender longing
Into his eyes of blue
She put into her love song all
The feeling that she knew.
But the song she sang was wasted,
Her loving was in vain,
His heart remained untouched by
The sweet old tender Strain.
For she was his young mother
And in her lap he lay,
And while she sang so sweetly,
He merely squalled away.
