FIRMIN'S AR MY
Marching on Port au Prince, Whose
People Will Fight.

Port au Prince. Hayti, May 21-The ar
my of the north, Commanded by Gen.
Firmin (the most powerful candidate for
the presidency of IIaytD, and numbering
about 1900 men, arrived, Wednesday, at
Archaic, two days march from here
The provisional government COMMITTEE
of public safety has summoned all the
citizens to defend the capital, and as u
result the entire population of Port au
Prince is now under arms.
The people are very excited and appear
determined to make a vigorous resistance
to the entrance of the army of the north
into the city. The general belief is that if
Firmin persists in his intention to az
tempt to force an entry into Port au
Prince severe engagement will take
place.
AS this dispatch is sent the beating OF
drums can be heard on all sides and arm
ed men are gathering for the battle. The
m mbers of the diplomatic corps assem-
bled, this morning, and decided to pro-
test against the entrance of the northern
army into the capital. Unfortunately this
protest is not likely to have much effect
as there are no foreign men of war Ia
the harbor. Regret is expressed at the
absence of United States warship from
Port au Prince.
The United States cruiser Topeka sailed
from Port Royal, S. c., for Port au
Prince, May IL. She is due to arrive at
her destination, today.

purpose to fasten upon the American ar

Gen. Bell in issuing the concentration or

THE UNITED MINERS
VIII Allow Engineers, Etc, to Work
on an 3-Hour Day.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 21.-The three
anthracite executive committees Of the
United Mine Workers of America at
their joint meeting. today, decided to
permit the engineers and firemen and
pumpmen to remain at work, provided
the coal companies grant them an
S-hour day at present wages. If these
demands are not granted by June 2, the
men shall then suspend work. Although
the instructions issued to the local
unions do not specifically say that the
men shall go to work on that date il
the demand is not granted they are 80
construed by the committeeman. This
action was taken after two sessions had
been held. which consumed the entire
day.
At present the engineers, firemen and
pumpmen work 10 hours a day. Some
of the firemen work II.
The action of the committees is not
as drastic as was looked for.

THE FRENCH ENJOYS
To Rochambeau Statue dwelling Are
Received at Annapolis.

Annapolis, Md. May 21.-The initial
reception of the representatives of the
French republic who are here to par
ticipate in the ceremonies attendant
upon the unwilling of the Rochambeau
monument in Washington, Friday, took
place on board the French battleship
Gaulois in Annapolis roads, at o'clock
this afternoon.
The commissioners representing the
United states, namely, Col. Theodore
f. Bingham, superintendent of public
grounds in Washington, Assistant Sec
rotary of State II. H. ID. PIERCE and
Commander b. r. Rodgers, reached An
napolis from Washington on the 9.15
train and at once proceeded in car
riages to the wharf. where they en-
barhed on the dispatch boat Dolphin

steaming slowly over the shallow chan
mel to meet the incoming Gaulois. The
Gaulois anchored just as the Dolphin
appeared upon the scene soon the ira
ditional u guns were fired. This was
followed by two patriotic airs from the
band on board the Gaulois. Immedi-
ately thereafter the United States COM
missioners proceeded in a launch to the
Gaulois, and, as they approached the
French battleship, a salute of Is guns
was fired.
On board the French ship every prep
aration had evidently been made for q
most pleasing reception Of the Ameri-
can representatives. AS soon as the
commissioners touched the deck of the
Gaulois they were effusively greeted by
Gen. Brugere, Admiral Fourier and
their staff officers.
After greetings had been exchanged
the visitors We're escorted to the cabin,
where the brief ceremony of welcome
and response took place.

AT BATES COLLEGE.
Fast Fitting School Baseball
Contest, June 6 and 7,
Rents Hill, Bridgeton, Hebron and
Westbrook Will Compete.
Bates Trying to Arrange Another
Care With Maine.

Lewiston, Me, May 21.-(SpeciaD.-
the scene of the fastest interscholastic
baseball contest which will be held in
Maine this season. Under the auspices
of Bates College, a league made up of
the following fitting schools has been
formed: kents Hill, Bridgton Acad-
envy. Hebron Academy and Westbrook
Seminary. These teams will play for
championship on the days above men
toned, and the winners will receive a
pennant which is offered by Mr.. +. l..
Wall. the manager of the Bates base
ball team. On June 6, Friday forenoon.
kent's Hill and Westbrook will cross
bats on the diamond; on the following
day, Saturday, in the forenoon, Hebron
and Bridgton, the old rivals, will meet
and in the afternoon the two winning
teams will play the championship
game.
IL IS perhaps needless to say that
these four schools for years past have
been represented by the four fastest
hitting school teams in the State, and
the records which they are making this
season goes to show that they have
never taken d greater interest in base
ball and that their teams this season
are by no means below those of former
seasons. Furthermore there is. today
great deal Of rivalry among these
schools SO evenly matched in athletics
For this reason the coming contest on
carcelon field will be a hard fought
~
terest will be taken in it by the numer-
Gus friends of the academies as well as
by the State in general.
The object in having the interschoIas-
lis baseball league played off at Bates
is the fact that Lewiston is centrally
located with respect to the situation of
the four fitting schools. Besides this
there are many students in Bates who
are graduates of these schools and they
of course will be interested to see the
baseball contest.
The idea of inviting these teams to
join themselves into an interscholastic
league was proposed and fully arranged
by Manager Wall. Mr. Wall worked
faithfully to form this league, knowing
well that it would be a good thing for
the college, as well as the fitting
schools. in many ways.
Mr.. Wall, in fact, IS an ideal man for
manager of a college team. He pos
sesses rare business ability and is ac-
lively working not only for the good
of his team but as well for benefit of
the college. His career as manager OF
the Bates baseball team may rightly
be called a success iii more ways than
one.
Several of the students went to Bruins
wick. this afternoon, to witness the
game played there between Bowdoin
and the University of Maine.
Yesterday afternoon, the Bates sec
ond team played a game with the Lew
i9ton High school nine on GarcelOn
field. The Lewiston High won, Is to T.
This afternoon. the second team played
the Edward Little High school on the
Auburn Athletic Association park,
Bates winning, to y.
Manager Wall was at Brunswick, to-
day. to negotiate with the manager of
the University of Maine team concern
ing the arrangement of another game
