ton has broken out at la Vega, town
seventy eight miles northwest of ST.

ed men have risen under the command
Of General Ramon Pacheco. and Gen
eral Reyes, who is very influential in
those districts, has joined the insurgents
with several other generals, each COM
manding fairly important forces.
THE OUTLOOK IMPROVED.
Port an Prince, August 3-The politi
cal situation here has improved and
the city is calm.
The prompt action of the United
States Minister here, Mr.. William II.
Powell, in the case of NJ. Du Nivier, the
newspaper man. who was taken by the
police officer out Of the American Lee
CATION, has created am excellent impress
sion among the foreign population, who
consider that the action Of the Haytian
Government in surrendermg the prisoner
to the Minister on his demand, probably
avoided serious trouble.
The people who have been arrested
here are accused of plotting the over
throw Of the Government, and the
American Minister has asked the latter
to exercise clemency towards the pris-
oners.
WASHINGTON WANTS APOLOGY.
Washington, August 3.-Acting Secre-
tary 0f State Adee has received a cable
gram from Minister Powell at Port au
Prince, Hayti, confirming the newspa-
per reports Of the violation of his Lega-
tion by police officers who were MAX
ing an arrest. The Minister adds that
the person who was arrested Du Yiyier,
is citizen Of Hayti, and he seeks TO
know what disposition shall he made Of
him upon his return to the Legation.
Tive Department is now giving this
query consideration and it will probably
direct the Minister to surrender the man
to the authorities if it shall appear
that the proceedings are regular and
that he will be given Il fair trial. If
the IIayitian Government express re-
gret at the invasion of the Legation the
State Department will be satisfied.
