AN ISLAND OF DISCoRD.
Fresh Outbreaks in Haiti and Santo
DOMINGO Reported.

Fresh outbreaks in Haiti and Santo Do
mingo this week indicate that those re-
publics do not intend to be crowded off the
stage by Venezuela said a gentleman
who has Travelled in these countries. The
fact is that both of these republics are In
financial straits and no government of their
own can extricate them. They have always
been revolutionary, however, and when
times were good it was a struggle to get
possession Of the public treasury. When
not in revolution the two republics were
at war with each other. And no English
American diplomatic question was half so
weighty relatively the questions which
engaged the attention of the diplomats OF
these two republics arising out of matters
between themselves. AS a matter of facs
they have never been at all friendly, though
Haiti is entirely African and Santo Do
mingo has an African population amounting
to about 50 per cent Of the total. The two
peoples have done nothing else but light
with each other for hundred years.
I'm recent years the attitude is shown N
the sentiments of the leaders. The la'e
Heureaux had one sentiment he proposed
often, One island and one republic On
the other hand Haitien general boastinE
of his army said no longer ago than 1899.
President Sam Is the father OF the army.
He Is undertaking reforms which will make
our army the equal OF the first armies OF
Europe When all Is ready we will drive
the DominicanS into the sea and the whole
island shall be ours
There have been constant disputes over
the boundary line, which is somewhere in
an impossible mountain. There is constant
quarreling over the smuggling which goes
on continually over the frontier, probably
connived by both governments. Both re-
publics had the same navy and no doubt
there was as much Boosting to their
merits as in Europe Santo Domingo had
three men-of-war-the Ell Presidente. INDIE
pendencia and Ell Restoration. In the revo-
luton which upset the HeureauX govern
ment in 1889 the commandant of the latter
vessel ran it on the reefs at Macoris rather
than fight against the revolutioniSts, and
there 1t lies today. Haiti had three-the
Toussant, Dessalines and Crete-a-Pierrot.
'The first had all its brass and iron stolen
by its own crew and sold for junk, and SO
IS out of service. Killick followed the eX-
ample Of his Santo Domingo predecessor
and put the Crete-a-Pierrot where it will
not be of much service, so that Santo Do
mingo probably now has the better navy.
But there has been little law. no justice in
the courts, little government and no prog
ress in hundred years Assassination has
been the fate Of many of the rulers since
independence was declared. truly a pleasing
picture for country claiming to be gov
eminent"
