Port au Prince requested the American
Minister. Mr.. Powell, to extend his pro-
lection over an English subject at
Gonaives. The nature of the difficulty
into which this person had fallen is un-
known to the correspondent. and, In any
event, is not essential to the matter IN
question.
United States Minister Powell addressed
telegram in English to the American
Consul at Gonaives. AT the Office Of the
Government telegraph in Port au Prince
the message was refused because 1t was
not written in French according to the
regulations devised by the Government.
Mr. Powell declined to be controlled by
these regulations in communicating with
a United States officer on matters OF
purely official import and informed the
Haytien authorities that he considered
the effort to force him to use the French
language an infringement on his minis
terial rights. The Minister of the Interior
offered to frank the message and send 1t
gratis if he were permitted to translate
It into French beforehand. To this Minis
ter Powell refused to accede. and at last
the Haytien Minister yielded. 1t is said
that this is the first time the Government
has waived its regulations in this par
ticular.
