SITE FOR CoALING STATION,
Island of Gonaives Looked Upon as

Minister Powell is much impressed with
the idea that the island of Gonaives. in
largest dependency of Hayu. would af-
ford the naval station which the United
States has SO long desired to possess
in these waters.
The island was granted under very lib
eral conditions some years ago by the

Only NJ. Alexis is now living and the
concession remains unexpected
NJ. Revere was one Of the few really
enterprising native business men that
Hayti has produced. He owned the Hay
ten line of coasting steamers. which con-
meets the capital with the principal sea-
ports, and was held in high esteem by
natives and foreigners alike.
While always keeping clear of personal
responsibility in connection with the pol-
itics Of the countries he was always con-
suited by the various presidents and min
listers whose rise and fall he witnessed.
The island of Gonaiyes is almost meal
culably rich in mahogany. 1t is mainly
composed of picturesque uplands, which
