President Sam Of Hayti Persists in Re-
maininu in Office,

New York, April 1S-Private ad-
vices from Port au Prince, by way Of
Kingston, Jamaica, are indicative of a
far more serious state of affairs in
Hayti than is generally known to the
outside world. The recent uprising in
The vicinity of Jacme, which was
quickly suppressed, is, according to
The Herald's informant, but forerun-
ner OF serious trouble for President
Sam. The letter continued:
'The political situation here is most
serious and every indication points to
general uprising of the people of
Hayti if President Simon Sam persists
in his announced intention of attempt
ing to remain in power after May IS,
on which date his term expires. Many
citizens have been imprisoned through
out the republic. In Port au Prince
the prisons were not sufficiently large

SAID TO BE A SUCCESS,
New Smoke Consumer for Railroad
Locomotives.

Chicago, April 1S-Oficials of the
Lake Shore have determined to do
away with the smoke nuisance on the
entire road by the use OF new smoke
consuming device.
Tests have recently been made by
the management of the New York Cen
trail which have been highly satisfac-
tory and it is said that with careful
firing there is no escape of smoke from
the engines. Regarding the matter an
official Of the road says:
''By the use Of the consumer the
comfort of the travelling public will be
greatly increased, as it will be possible
for passengers to open car windows
without being deluged with cinders and
smoke. We have found that soft coal
can be used. as the attachment not
only consumes the smoke but shows q
saving Of at least one ton of coal On

|TAE CANAL BILL IS Up
Debate on the Measure is Begun in
the Senate by Mr.. Morgan of
Alabama Today. f.
Outlines the Situation and Declares in
Favor of Immediate Construction
~ of Canal.
Closing Debate on the Cuban Recipro-
city Bill in the House is
Interesting.

Washington, April 1S.-Mr. Morgan
(Ala.), chairman of the committee on
)sthmian canals, at the conclusion of
foutine business addressed the senate
upon the Hepburn bill providing for
Nicaraguan canal.
He assumed, in beginning, that the
senate was convinced of the indispen-
sable character of canal-that it was
a national necessity-and that it was
only choice of methods and COM
parison of national advantages which
was left to decide "all questions of fl
nancial ability, of private interests,
of political bias having been relegated
to the rear by command of free, hon
est and powerful people. It is to reach
the logical results that should follow
the actual merits of the claim of either
ence, that will try to present an out
line of the questions that now require
discussion"
Mr.. Morgan said the subject could
be stated in six propositions. Inves-
tigation was complete and nothing
could be gained by delay; it was a
choice of two routes-Panama and
Nicaragua; the controlling factors
were the success of construction and
the best interests of the United States !;
the control of selection should not be
affected, all things considered, on ac-
count of expense, say within a limit of
$50,000,O00; the practicability of CON
structing the Nicaragua canal was be-
yond a shadow of doubt and within the
estimates; if the Bohio dam at Pana
ma should fail the only hope of canal
would perish while the failure of one
dam on the San Juan river would mean
construction at another point.
| Mr.. Morgan said none of the three
| commissions had expressed doubt Oh
apprehension as to, the Nicaragua
route. The supplemental report Of the
| last commission in favor of Panama
was based upon supposed gain to the
| government in cost of $5,630,504.
Mr. Morgan spoke of the clouds o1
doubt concerning the Panama route
He said the political conditions o1
Nicaragua and Costa Rica were more
| favorable than those of Colombia He
! said the commission had no authority
to accept an offer from the Panama
Canal company.

Consideration of Cuban. Reciprocity
o.. Bill Continued.
Washington, April 1s.-The house
began it's session at IL o'clock in order
to expedite debate on the Cuban reci-
procity bill. .. ...
A veto message was received from
ing Thomas F. Walter and was re-
ferred to the committee on invalid
pensions.
Consideration of the Cuban reciproc-
ity bill was then resumed and Mr.. Jen-
kins (Wis.) spoke on the political
status of Cuba, maintaining that there
could be no suspended sovereignty and
that at the present time Cuba was I'M
der the political dominion of the Unit.
ed States.
Mr.. Gaines (W. Va.) also opposed
the bill, declaring that it was unneces-
! sary and unwise.
Mr.. Warner Qlls.), who followed
was also against the bill. He insisted
that the measure was not along Repub-
lican lines and when he declared that
at heart a majority of the members on
the Republican side were opposed to
it the Republican opponents of the bill
gave him round of applause.
I Mr.. De Almond (Mo.) made a speech
which attracted much attention. He
employed vitriolic comment upon the
attitude of members with his accus-
I toned freedom. He commented upon
the statement of General Grosvenor a
few days ago that later the high rates
/ of the Dingley law would be reduced
and revised by the friends of that act.
| If the rates were too high he saw no
reason why the reduction should not
occur now and in this connection re-
ferred sarcastically to the Babcock bill
/ to place steel on the free list. Its au-
1 thor had voted against the bill in com
mittee and he intimated broadly that
the purpose of it's introduction was to
/ hold up the steel trust and other
kindred trusts for the benefit of his
party in the coming campaign.
4 Mr. Cushman (Wash.) made a
j breezy speech against the bill. He de-
4 c1ared that majority of the Republic
ans of the house were opposed, al

London, April 1S.-All the official
dispatches referring to the defeat sus-
tanned by the British troops under
General Butler at Spion Kop, Natal,
Jan. "a, 1900, were made public during
the day. Those hitherto unpublished

The controversy between General
Butler and Sir Charles Warren was
proved to be even more bitter than
previously limited at and new ex-
tract from one of Lord Roberts dis
patches brings additional censure upon
General Butler. Lord Roberts declares
that General Buffers endeavor to put
responsibility for the defeat on Gen
eral Warren was not justifable. Rob-
erts holds that it was Buffers duty to
intervene when he saw things were go
ing wrong. This remark was caused
by dispatch from Butler in which he
says:
Il saw no attempt on the part of
Warren to either grapple with the sit
nation or command his force himself.
We lost our chance by Warren's SLOW
ness. He seems to me to be man

never employ him again on an inde-

Butler explains that he failed to SUI,
persede Warren because it might have
discredited the latter with the troops
which was an especially serious mat

would have succeeded to the supreme
command.
