Won't Regard this Paper Blockade,
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. denomination
has come to the State Department from
Minister Powell of the press report that
the Haitien Government has declared
Gonaives and some of the other Haitien
ports, which are in the hands of the
Firminists, closed to commerce.
The right of a government to close or
open ports in normal conditions never
has been questioned. But as certain
South and Central American republics
have showed a disposition to avail of
this privilege in case of revolutionary
troubles to close ports, which they did
not actually control, the State Depart
ment has adopted the policy of declining
to recognize DEGREES, which after all
are nothing more than paper blockades
This last Haytien order will not be al
lowed to interfere with the commerce Of
the ports.
