by article 40 of the constitution of the
Haytian republic, public debts are guar

Spenser st. John, formerly British minis

head. The Haytian minister in Paris went
to a famous French banker to contract a
loan for Hayti, and naturally the capital
list asked him what security he could Of

1.-The constitution places the public debts
under the safeguard of the loyalty of the

Chicago, Sept. 8.-John c. Leigh, who
has been in Samoa for three months in
vestigating the political situation as cor
respondent of the London Times arrived
in Chicago to-day. In an interview he
said:
MY Investigations inspired me with
shame for the part played by the represen-
tatives of my country and America in the
events which led up to the hostilities of
last winter. 1t seems to me that Justice
Chambers and Consul Maxse tried to see
just how offensive they could make them
selves TO Consul Rose. They systemati-
cally ignored him and pursued a line
of conduct that it Is difficult TO find any
justification for.
Admiral Kautz, on the arrival of the
Philadelphia, followed along in the same
lines, seemingly making no attempt to as
certain the real condition of affairs. The
letters which he and the English naval
officers sent to the Germans were enough
to provoke the latter to retaliatory action
In my opinion the Germans showed a
patient and enduring spirit"
