was raining. He met two white men
near Fourth and Court, and they be-
gan talking to him, as they proceeded
through the darkness together, They
went two or three blocks side by side,
Mr.. jackson suspecting nothing, when
suddenly one Of the men struck him in
the face with something, and he be-
came unconscious. He soon revived
and went home, thoroughly mystified
over the attack, as the men were
strangers, and there was no evidence
that they had searched him for valu-
ables. He had left his money at the
office, and consequently lost nothing.
Near the scene Of the assault he re-
membered breaking of the ferule Of
his umbrella, and Sunday morning
went back to look for il NeAssy he

used to knock him down. He turned
; q. /. over to Ma.shal Grow this morning,

telephone wires were crossed and
broken, but no serious damage is re.
ported from anywhere.
The temperature was SO at its high
est yesterday. and 20 for minimum

ture, blowing down trees, fences and
wires, and one small house near Sixth
and Campbell streets. Boats had to
hunt the shore, but none of them suff-
cred any damage.

Lively Fighting Reported at Hayti
and Excitement is High.
Revolutionists From North Engage the
Fleet-Consuls Not Notified of
Bombardment.
FOREIGN RESIDENTS IN DANGER

Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 30
There has been much fighting here

miral Killick, commander of the Hay
tien feet, disembarked . further de-
tachment Of troops and large guam
tity of ammunition at 4o'clock yester-
day for the better protection of Gen-
eral Firmen, one Of the candidates for
the presidency Of the republic.
By o'clock there had been several
lively engagements between men Of
the fleet and revolutionists from the
north. Several machines guns were
set up in . commanding position by
General Firmen' force and an attempt
was made to drive the men from their
position. Notwithstanding the fire
with the machine guns. detachments
from the northern revolutionists made
several attacks upon General Firmen's
followers and the latter were eventu-
ally aislodged.
In the meantime the vessels under
the command of Admiral Killick were
bonn barding Cape Haytien. This
action was taken without previous
notification to the foreign oonsuls
here. There has been lively rain Of
shots down the streets Of Cape Hay
ten ali day long. -.-
At the moment Of filing this dis
patch the foreign consuls, under pro-
lection OF their various flags, are with
Generl Firmen, and are able to en-
bark on the government gunboat Ore

fire and in considerable danger.
The foreign residents of this port
are at present exposed to the lawless-
ness and savagery of the combatapts.
Deep regret il expressed that no
warship of foreign power is in the
harbor to afford protection to foreign
residents.
Great excitement reigns here and as
this dispatch is being sent the firing in
the streets eontipu es.
