HAITI's NEUTRALITY.
1t Is Announced, Although the

In an interview yesterday Alfred St.
Leger. charge d affaires of the Haitian
Legation here. stated that his government
would observe strict neutrality during the
conflict between America and Spain. He
indicated that what moral influence Haiti
possessed would be exerted in behalf OF
America.
The people of Haiti knew the extent of
Spanish tyranny in the West Indies when
Spain was more powerful Amy Spanish
warshp which happens to put into port
at Haiti for coal or supplies, he SAID,
will be furnished with only enough to
enable her to make the nearest home
port which will be Santiago de Cuba or
San Juan Porto de Rico.
Mr. St. Leger stated that he has been
notified by his government To be neutral
in all dealings with this or the Spanish
government. He minated. however that
the impending conflict is looked upon by
the Haitian people with some sense OF
qualification, but that he must be eau
tious in interpreting their sentiments.
Spain. he indicated. is coming 10 the end
of her rope and will soon be placed in a
position where she cannot continue her
cruelties and violations of the Laws or
humanity. Mr. St. Leger made his state

If Capt Gen. Blanco should ever
get in bad oder at Madrid there is
career for him in this country as a Fourth
of July orator. His address to the army
and people of Havana. in which he
calls the outragers and butchers of wom-
en- and children heroes is model of
that kind of rhetoric. We feel sorry for
Blanco. He must be getting hungry un-

concentration by pacific blockade" We
think the President ought to be more
merciful and send shell into the palace

fort. We can stand it if he can.
