AFFAIRS IN HAYTI.
Committee Of Eleven Appointed to
Take Charge.
lRY Associated Press. !,

Take Charge.
{By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1.-THE
State Department has received the follow
ing cablegram from United States Minis
ter Powell. at Port au Prince, respecting
the present crisis in Hayti:
"A committee of eleven has been or
sanized for the conduct of affairs. The
chairman of the committee is ex-Presi-
dent Canal. Committees Of this charac-
ter have been organized in all of the
cities of the Republic. All is quiet at
present"
The latest news received here from
northern Hayti is that General Firmn.
the head of the revolutionary forces, hav-
ing requested the manager of the Nation
al Bank, M. de la Meyer, to advance him
$4,000 to meet his expenses, met with q
refusal. The belief here. however. IS
that the National Bank officials are IA
vorably inclined towards General Firn,1o
who IS by far the strongest of the many
presidential candidates in the field.
The provisional government, headed by
NJ. Boisrond Canal, a former presi'ienE.
is very much incensed against Admiral
Ktlllck for having left Port au Prince
with his warships without the consent
Of the government.
