CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti, June 1.-THE
remarkable audiences President Heureaux
granted on his gunboat, the Restauracion
in this harbor on Thursday last, deserve a
special record. My cable dispatch of that
day has already given a rather full idea
of hts statements regarding the recent at
tempted revolution in Santo Domingo, but
that the interview may be properly appre-
ciated it will be necessary to give it de-
scriptive setting.
l went out to the Restauracion accom-
panied by the American consul, DR.. Living
ston, one of the most intelligent colored
men. by the way, who ever had an official
mission to this country. and Mr.. A. ]. Red
par, who is III charge of the most success
full foreign enterprise here, and who met
Heureaux some years ago in his own capt.
tai. We did not need to send our cards
ahead of US, and were received on the quar-
ter deck by Ulysses himself, the dreaded
tyrant president, clad in modest naval
uniform of which short blue jacket with
small gold buttons and a white cap with
hardly any gold lace, were the conspicuous
features. He greeted US with a scrutiniz-
ing air, and with gesture of bonhomie
invited us to be seated.
Heurenux is n MulattO.
The president is a mulatto of medium
color, with rather regular features. show
ing the blending of the African and Cau-
casian types; a square Caesarean brow and
strong. resolute lips. though with O chin
slightly reeeding; broad, aeshy nose; fine,
crinkly hair, tinged with gray, and a coarse
and pronounced mustache, both cropped

and at first glance appear mild almost be-
nevolent. They look at you straight and
continuously while he is talking to you.
Unlike the eyes of most of his race in these
ATTITUDES, the whites are not injected with
blood and bile. and the pupils at times ex-
press contagious geniality that even the
poor prisoner expectant Of death recognizes.
HeureauXS manner, even in his most
dangerous moments, it Is said. can be
bland, caressing and patronizing, and they
even have a saying in Santo Domingo that
many of the poor devils he sends to the
tragic blank wall or freshly opened way
side ditch feel almost fiattered when he
tells them personally he cannot afford to
pardon them. 1t is no wonder his astuter
to study his smile more closely than his
frown.
The president is about five feet eight
inches in height, of athletic mold. though
his right arm is still half disabled from
the effects OF two old wounds near the ell
etc as if all that he did in public was nice
ly calculated. Yet he is capable of great
animation, volubility and vivacity. He
spices his talk with satire and irony, and.
occasionally, laughs broadly at his own
joke or epigram. 1t is impossible not to
mind and by the subtlety of his cunning

has been issued by the police department,
which has been instructed to enforce the
ordinance regardless of whom it hurts.
The start in this enforcement of the Or
dinance was made yesterday when Police
Sergeant Smith. accompanied by several
strong EARNED officers, made raid on sew
eral Main street signs. The owners of these
signs had been notified to remove them,
but no attention was paid TO the order.
The sergeant did not stop to argue with
the owners of the signs, but went TO the
places with a crosscut saw and promptly
cut them down to a level with the side
walk. In vain did the owners of the signs
object. They were told that they might
expect to defend themselves later in the
courts for violating the ordinance. All
other signs will be removed in a similar
manner unless their owners decide to COM
ply with the ordinance.
