The Presidential Guard continues to occupy the

number of armed men were ordered to-day
TO plumber the house of TanCrede Auguste, the
former Minister of the Interior, which is situ-
ated in the vicinity of the French Legation
But the pillage Of the house was prevented by
an energetic protest made by the French Min

mer Minister of Foreign Affairs. and sent by the
provisional government of Hayti, started at .
o'clock this morning for Cape Hayten on board
the steamer Mancel, with the object of endeav-
oring to arrive at an agreement with the leaders
of the revolutionary forces in the northern part
of Hayti and prevent a civil war 1t is gener-
ally believed here that the delegation Will meet
with success as it is known that lack of funds
is preventing the northern forces from marching
on Port-au-Prince.
Quiet has been entirely re-established here
All the administrative offices have been
opened.
The correspondent here of The Associated Press
had an interview yesterday with eX-President
General Sam on board the Olinde Rodrigues,
which was detained here by the French Min
ister NJ. Duprez. General Sam said he had
resigned his office with the conviction that he
had done everything possible for the prosperity
aI 1,f
most was the attitude of the Presidential Guard.
which remained loyal TO him up to the last
moment. The general also paid tribute TO,
the Haytian navy, which, he declared, main
tanned a correct attitude until after his en-
barkatiOn.
According to General Sam the population of
Port-au-P Prince. instead of being hostile to the
former President, was in sympathy with him,
shown by the behavior of the people as he
left the palace and passed through the city on
his way to the Olinde Rodrgues cries of Viva
Sam!'' being raised. General Sam further as
serted that he leaving Hayti fully satisfied
that he had served his country with the great
est loyalty and patriotism.
1t has been asserted in the newspapers here
S2500000 but the general in a published inter
view, protests against this assertion, CHASING
it a calumny.
The latest news received here from the north.
of Hayti is to the effect that General Firmin,
the former Minister of Hayd at Paris, who re-
Gently landed at Cape Haytien, placed himself
at the head of the revolutionary forces and
seized the custom houses at Cape Hayuen and
Gonaives. Having requested the manager OF
the National Bank. NJ. de la Myre. to advance
him $4,000 meet his expenses. he met
with a refusal. The belief here, however, is
that the National Bank officials are favorably
inclined toward General Firmin, who is by far
the strongest of the many PRESIDENTIAL candl-
dates in the field.
The provisional government, headed by NJ.
Boisrond Canal, former President, is much in
censed against Admiral Killick for having left
Port-au-Prince with his warships without the
consent of the government.
The President of Hayti receives a salary Of S2i 900
a year. General Sam elected President on
April !. 1896.
