scarcely ever frequent the orchard

else that during a process OF hazing the
revolver was discharged.

Dixon was the favorite at odds OF 5

showed such smartness that the odds
turned in his favor. Dixon seemed
quite unable to cope with the English

made a determined effort, which he
kept up until the end, but he could not

BLOCKADE NOT EFFECTIVE.
United States Will Disregard the Hays
tien Blockade.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 11.-Minister
Powell has confirmed the reports that
Gonaives end other Haytien ports held
by the Firminists have been declared
closed to commerce. The state depart
anent has decided to disregard the de-
cree.
The right of the government to clos,
or open ports in normal conditions
never has been questioned. But, as
certain South and Central American
republics have showed disposition to
avail themselves of this privilege in
case OF revolutionary troubles, to close
ports which they did not actually con-
troll, the state department has adopted
the policy Of declining to recognize
such DEGREES, which, after ALL are moth
ing more than paper blockades
Therefore, this last Haytien order
will not be allowed to interfere with
commerce with the ports named, unless
the Haytien government can. by dis
play Of naval forces, either drive off
the Insurgents or maintain an actual
blockade.
In taking this attitude toward the
titular Haytien government the state
ing, but is simply following an unbrok.
en- line Of precedents which has been
found to conserve best the interests
OF all neutral powers in such cases.
There is no disposition to question the
propriety of the issue of the decree, it
being recognized as an essential pre-
liminary step on the part Of the Haytien
government II 1t actually intends to
blockade the three ports named.
The exact attitude Of this government
As best shown in famous letter writ
ten by Secretary Bayard in 1885 to Mr..
Becerra, the Colombian minister here,
at time when the Colombian govern
ment sought to close, by decree. some
ports in the hands OF the insurgents.
Mr.. Bayard laid down this doctrine.
which has since governed the state de-
partment:
II am bound to conclude, as general
principle. that decree by a sovereign
power closing to neutral commerce
ports held by its enemies, whether do
1nestic or foreign, can have no inter-
national validity and no extra territor
ial effect in the direction of imposing
any obligation upon the governments
Of neutral powers to recognize or con
tribute toward it's enforcement by any
domestic action on their part.
"Sucll decree may indeed, be nee
essary as the municipal enactment of
the state which proclaims it, in order
to clothe the executive with authority
to proceed to the institution of a for
NAL and effective blockade. but when
that purpose is attained its power is
exhausted ~.
