Hayti's Evidence Of Friendship.


Washington. May 18.-The Haytian
government has given conspicuous
evidence of It's friendly feeling toward
the United States by settling the long
pending claim Of Bernard Campbell, OF
Brooklyn. which this government has
urged against Hayti. The settlement
was made on the basis of payment OF
$4,000. In closing the case the Haytian
government made 1t known that its
action was inspired by desire to con-
tinue the friendship between the two
governments. and was not intended as
a recognition of the justice of the
Campbell claim. This claim originated
through the enlistment of Campbell for
service as engineer in the Haytian
navy. He went to Hayti, where he said
he had suffered many indignities and
claimed reparation therefor.

of the Isle of Tortuga. off the north
west coast of Hayti and due north of
Port de Paix. near the entrance to the
Windward passage, who brought word
to the Haytian war department OF
what Is believed to have been a naval
engagement on Sunday.
The commandant reached Port de
Paix from the Isle of Tortuga in a
canoe. He reported to the war office
that throughout the whole of Sunday
very persistent cannonading had been
heard east of the island. and that from
its duration and intensity there was
strong presumption that very serious
action was In progress.
A thick fog at the time made 1t i'm

might be engaged.

Two Hunpred Thousand Corpses Lie Be-
tween pain aud Cuba.
Washington, Feb. Hon. Charles
w. Russell, assistant United States
attorney in the department of justice,
has just received the following letter
acknowledging the receipt OF a New
York draft mailed to United States
Consul Backer at Sagua Legrande. Gu
ba, whose district of Las Tillas en-
braces Santa Clara, the capital of the
province by that name; San Domingo,
Remidios and another city in the same
province in the eastern part of the is
land.
In explanation of his estimate of the
number of deaths from starvation, up
to the time of his recent visit, viz:
100000, Mr.. Russell says that he got
that number from the common talk in
Cuba. For instance, he asked Cuban
what the insurgents said about &C
cepting the offer of autonomy, and the
answer was that Spain had put 200, 900
ferring evidently to the reconcen-
trados.
II have certificates signed by the
alcades of the principal cities and
towns in my Sagua Legrande zone,
showing that my estimate of $4,000
perishing.souls was under rather than
above the mark
''To my mind, and to all Christian
people, there is but one, solely one, is
sue in this Cuban question, viz: desti-
tuition and starvation. The status quo
is as when you left, save the destitu-
ton grows and the death rate in
creases hourly. Say to the generous
people of America, who have never
turned deaf ear to the cry of the dis
tressed, whether at home or in a for
eign land, to send us food, medicine
and clothing for the sick"

try as delegates. They reported to
the Government of the Dominion Of
Canada the result of their observations,
and from this report extracts have
been taken, which are published below:
We have visited a number of most
desirable locations, and are highly
pleased with the country as a whole,
1t being beyond our highest expecta-
tons. We find here prosperous and
Weil-contented lot of people. They
nave comfortable homes, and their vast
nelds OF wheat and other crops in addi-
ton to their herds of choice cattle, in
dictate prosperity in the full sense Of
the word. In conversation with the
farmers throughout our trip we learned
that the majority of them came here
with very limited means, and some
with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now
well-to-do. They all claim that this is
the only country for a poor man, or
one with little means, to get a start
and make home for himself and fam
lily. AS you are aware, we were
little shaky and undecided before leav-
ing Detroit, but have determined since
that we, with our friends, will make
this country our future home. 1t is
far from being the wilderness we had
pictured it to be; it is, instead, a land
having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads,
markets, stores, churches, schools, etc.,
in fact, an ideal home for those having
the future welfare OF themselves and
families at heart"
