At Mauvaux Department du Nord, the ex-
pulsion of the Sisters led TO riot. in which two
persons were arrested. police commissary
and ten rioters were injured.
The resistance to the official decree in the
capital is developing into farce. The govern
ment allows the Sisters in the Rue Salneuve to
remain because an orphanage and home FOR
the aged are attached to their school On the

were ordered by their mother superior to leave
the place, were prevented from complying by a
band of fifty enthusiasts. who surrounded them
and shut them up in the schoolhouse. The police
are holding off from expelling them by force.
The situation in the provinces is more grave.
Telegrams containing petitions for clemency and
delay are pouring IN on President Loubet from
all quarters and a telegram from Brest says
that the outlook in several of the neghboring
towns is serious. Opposition to the authorities
was offered. but no casualties have been re-
ported.
At Lyons there no disturbance Ihe
schools there have been closed and the doors
sealed.
A meeting convened for the purpose of pro-
testing against the official decree ordering the
closing of the congregatonist schools was held
in Paris tonight. The meeting was presided
over by Jules Lamaitre, and addresses were
made by Francois COppee and other members
of the Chamber of Deputies and Munlclpai
Councillors The breaking up of the assemblage
was followed by disorderly scenes. Crowds cry
ing ''Vive la Liberte!" gathered, and the police
were obliged TO severe measures to dlsperse
them. Several arrests were made, among the
persons taken into custody being priest
Counter demonstrations were organized In the
streets those taking part in them singing politi-
cal songs and denouncing the Nationalists.

Powell, who is at Port-au-Prince. He says that
civil war has been declared throughout the
country and that General Firmin, aspirant

Prince The provisional government has been
dissolved. The acting President has sent a com
munication to the diplomatic corps declaring
that Admiral Killick is pirate, and asking
that the naval vessels of foreign countries
capture him wherever found. The precedents
show that the naval powers have decided to pay
no attention to any such proclamation but to
regard men in Killicks position as simply rebels.
