Be Sent.

/ After period of quiet extending over
several weeks. the political troubles in
/ Haiti have apparently again reached a
crisis. In telegram received at the
State Department yesterday, William L.
Powell, the United States minister at
! Port au Prince, says that he had in
formation that the Haitien admiral
in the afternoon.
Another telegram from Mr. Powell,
which came Immediately after the re-
ceipt of the first, contained the in
formation that the Haitien government
disavowed the action of the admiral.
Owing TO the peculiar political situa-
tion which exists in Haiti. the State
Department authorities are not able def
nitely to interpret Mr.. Powell's advices
At last accounts the control of Port au
Prince and most of the principal towns
was in the hands of a provisional gov
ernment, headed by a former president
of the republic
This provisional government was indie
pendent of any connection with the con-
stitutional government of President
Jiminez. or the revolutionary party,
headed by General Firmin. who was
until recently the Haitien minister at
Paris.
A Former Outbreak.
An outbreak among the people of Port
au Prince resulted in damage to public
buildings. assaults en- legislative depu-
tics. and the abdication of President
Jiminez. VINO placed himself under the
protection CT the foreign diplomatic
corps and finally left the country, ac-
companied by some members of his
cabinet.
Firmin. who, on his return from Paris.
had landed at Cape Haitien and organ
lied a revolutionary army, was then
marching On the capital. The Hatien
admiral, whose force consisted of a sin
gle vessel, declared for Firmin and with
drew from Port au Prince for the csten-
sibe purpose of assisting Firmin in an
assault on seacoast towns.
Realizing the serious condition of af-
fairs, a number of conservative men in
Port au Prince organized committee
