covered-The Situation
In Hayti.

Gonaives Hayti, Sept. 10.-Investiga-
tion made by the correspondent of the
Associated Press into the sinking of the
Firminist gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot at
the entrance of this harbor Saturday
has shown that Admiral Killick, her
commander, personally fired the after
magazine OF that vessel, when the Ger
man gunboat Panther attempted to
capture her, and that he apparently
went down with his ship. The Panther,
which had previously attempted to
board the Crete-a-Pierrot, the latter
being moored to the shore, reversed her
engines when the magazine exploded
and an hour afterwards fired thirty
shots from her guns at the Crete-a-
Pierrot in order to finish the work Of
sinking her. The Panther then left
Gonaives.
1t is claimed here the rifles and ma
chine guns OF the Crete-a-Pierrot have
been saved. The body Of Admiral Kill
lick was recovered Saturday afternoon
and buried the same evening.
The surgeon of the Crete-a-Pierrot,
who was asleep in his cabin, and two
sailors of that vessel also perished. The
Panther expected to reach Cape Hay
tien on Friday.
A newspaper of Port au Prince on
July IA contained the following tele-
gram from Admiral Killick to General
Boisrond Canal, provisional president
Of Hayti.
"Gonaives, July 12.-Killick does not
fear anything. He will blow up his ship
and company for the sake of national
aonor. You alone remain responsible"
Previous to sending the message to
Canal 1t appears, Killick had received
orders from the latter to give up his
vessel to Lieutenant Reir, his second in
command, and it was also reported the
government had requested
he United States gunboat Marietta
md French cruiser D'Assas to capture
he Crete-a- Pierrot. hence the defiant
dispatch to Canal.

CUBAN HOUSE PASSES LOAN.
Payment Of $s5, 100000 to Be Guaran.
tesd by Customs Receipts.

Havana, Sept 1O.-The house Of rep
fesentatives has passed the loan bill by
q vote OF 48sto 2. The president is au-
thorized to raise a loan Of $35,000,0 900
! to be issued at 80, at per cent maxi
mum interest. The loan is redeemable
In forty years. Repayment will begin
after the first ten years. the amount to
be paid into the sinking fund and the
interest to be inserted in the regular
budget from the first year.
-Four million dollars of the loan will
be devoted to agriculture and the cat
tie industry, and s31.000,0O0 to payment
of the obligations contained in the first
transitory dispositions Of the constitu-
tion. Payment of the army is to be
made at q rate of salaries to be decided
by the governing council OF the revolu-
tion, from October. 1895. to Sept. IA,
1896, after the army lists are revised.
The president may raise the loan in
whatever number OF emissions he
chooses. The executive is authorized
to give the customs receipts of the ma
tion as a guarantee.
The last clause Of the bill is as fol-
lows |:
.In order that proper provision may
be made in the budget for the loan, a
specific permanent tax on alcoholic IL
quors Is created, and 10 per cent of the
customs receipts of the island is set
aside"
The tax on a bottle of brandy is fixed
at 30 cents, on whisky 40 cents per litre
on wine 30 cents, and on beer 10 cents
II Senior Artola obstructed the bill In
every way. He argued that loan would
be dangerous and might entangle the
republic. Senor Latorre said it would
be dangerous to pledge the customs re-
ceipts, as this would give the persons
supplying the money the right to inter-
yene In the management of the Gus
toms. The customs he added, should
be the last, not the first, thing to be
pledged. He urged the adoption of
stamp tax to meet the expenses Of the
loan. The bill differs somewhat from
the senate bill.
