ARRIVAL WAS oPPoRTUNE.
Commander McCrea Reports on Condi-
tions at Cape Haitien.

The Navy Department has received a
mail report from Commander McCrea Of
the gunboat Machias, dated Cape Haitien,
July 81, detailing the conditions as he found
them upon his arrival from Colon whence
he sailed for Haiti under instructions o.
the department. The report is as follows:
In obedience to your order to proceed
Immediately and consult with the consul
at Cape Haitien, arrived here on the 2Sth.
coming as fast as 1 could without using
forced draught. Any delay in arriving is
due to the ships foul bottom.
THE arrival of the ship was considered
very opportune, as an attack by land and
sea was considered imminent. 1 called on
the provisional governor, Gen Nord Alexis.
who is also secretary of war in the pro-
visional cabinet. He told me he wae too
much engaged as governor. and practically
in the field. to return my visit at once but
would be glad to do SO if we remained i,ere
long enough. He also declared he did not
consider foreign interests menaced also
that there must be an end to this move
ment very soon. The movement I,self he
could not very clearly explain for the rea-
son that his own advices were very meager
and unreliable.
Il told the consul to communicate to the
foreign consuls that 1 would object to any
bombardment by the rebel ships without
due notice. There are no important Amer
ican interests existing at this place. Busi-
ness is at a StandStill.
Most Of the business houses have sealed
their doors, and rendezvous have been as
signed all foreigners at the consulates. or
in the adjacent houses over which the flag
are hoisted.
"On the S1st I called again on the gov
ernor, General Nord Alexis. He told me he
had received large consignment of arms
and ammunition, and would Immediately
advance against the enemy. To my ques-
ton, Do you know of any antagonism
against the foreign consuls or merchants
by the lower classes of citizens? he re-
piled, No, I do not think it exists We
then entered into an arrangement by which
he was to inform me, by signal, of his re-
treat, In which case l agreed to land and
protect embarkation of foreigners in case /
considered it necessary. He reiterated the
statement that a man of war in the harbor
now was most welcome and necessary as 1t
prevented a bombardment, and preserved
the peace of the city. The health of the
ships company has improved materially.
There are only five en- the sick list. oniy
four of whom have fever. There have been
III all thirty-two separate cases."

Nathaniel Mckay Was Not a
Millionaire.

Washington, July 17-It is now al
legged that Nathaniel Mckay, the late
reputed millionaire, who died suddenly
at Atlantic City, and for whose estate
several women threatened to make
fight, left a fortune not to exceed $780,
900. In explanation it is said that al
though he made large sums, he spent
money lavishly. He was a notable en-
tertainer. Each dinner he gave was
intended to eclipse In nagnificence
any he had ever given before. His
house warming dinner at 1871 Is. st,
given only a few weeks before his
death, to the Speaker and leaders in
Congress. is said to have cost at least
$1,000. In past years he also main
tained splendid summer residence
at Atlantic. City, where his hospitality
was no less lavish than in Washington.
He took frequent trips to Europe. and
his mode of life generally prevented
the accumulation of such wealth as
was credited to him.
