OF arrests on suspicion. although Il does
not appear that any arrests were made
upon q regular charge OF treasonable acts
The arrests were quite numerous and IN
one Of Mr.. Powe.rs dispatches he states
that there were sixty-nine persons In jail.

tinctly states that the government authors

and that none Of those arrested on sus-
picion have been shot.
Concerning the affair In the United

and protested against this invasion OF the

excitement Du vkier had been removed 10

and NJ Saint Victor followed his per-
sonal rebuke 10 the soldiers by note -
Mr.. Powell expressing his regret for the
occurrence. This was regarded as most
ample reparation. and as the Haytien gov
eminent made no further effort to secure

closed.

Special Dispatch to the Post-lntelligencer
WASHINGTON. Aug. 15-Edward Atksn-
son and his anu-expans.onist colleagues
. new political party. to be represented In
the nexr national campaign by candi-
date for president.
A close friend Of Richard Croker says
this is the cause Of the sudden change Of
the Tammany chieftain respecting the
Philippine question. The new party il to
be named the Continental Expansionist
Party" and viii oppose bitterly the exten-
SION OF Jurisdiction over territory not con-
tiguous to the present states. The whole
project, however. is contingent upon the
nature OF the message President Mckinley
sends to the forthcoming session OF con-
gress. The proposed new political party
will be launched II he does not disclaim the
intention to hold the Philippine perma-
nently. not otherwise.
Reed Was Sounded Ahout IL.
Atkinson and hts colleagues have been
considering the project for some time. and
prior to the departure OF Reed for his Eu-
ropean vacation they approached him with
the proposition TO make him the candidate
for president IL the organization OF the
new party was perfected. Reed declined
to accept the nomination, but, while not
committing himself positively. It Is said he
did not discourage the forming Of the new
party.
From Reed. Croker learned the plans Of
the anti-expans.onists- Croker saw the
great advantage he would derive II he fore
stalled the action Of the. proposed new
party by announcing his own changed a.ti-
tude and his present opposition to the ex-
pansion policy OF Republicans. Without
doubt he hoped thus to be able to take
"a part and possibly TO direct the proposed
new political movement and make It .
mere adjunct OF the national Democratic
organization. His Endorsement Of Bryan
wouiu in no manner interfere with this ar
rangement. for 1t would DO q very simple
matter to drop Bryan at the last moment
