WARSHiP FOR HAYTI.
Minister Powell Says Trouble Is
Threatened on the Island.

Washington, March 30.-An American
man-of-War will be sent to Port au
Prince to protect American interests.
This determination was arrived at when
the state department received a cable
gram from Minister Powell, saying that
serious trouble is impending in Hayti
and it is doubtful whether the author
tiles can maintain peace and order
March 81 and April 1. The state depart
ment Immediately requested the navy
department to dispatch a war vessel to
Port au Prince. The navy department,
it is stated, probably will sent the cruis-
er Newark, Admiral Sigsbee's flagship,
now at Guantanamo, to Port au Prince.
The distance is only $50 miles and the
latter port can be quickly reached. The
Brooklyn is expected to arrive at Guam
tanamo today.
State department officials are unable
to explain the significance of the dates
March 81 and April 1 mentioned in the
cablegram from Minister Powell as the
days on which trouble might be expect
ed in Hayti.
J. N Lager. the Haytien minister in
Washington said tonight he was great
ly surprised to hear of Minister Powells
cablegram as he was not aware of any
threatened trouble in his country. He
has telegraphed to the president of
Hayti for Information on the subject.
Today the minister had a talk over the
telephone with the Haytien commits
sioner at New York who said he had
received a dispatch from the president
of the republic today and that it con-

lines. The company intends to build its
traction line across the viaduct so that
its cars will be operated from the foot
of Minnesota avenue in Kansas City,
Kan, to the junction in Kansas City,
Mo. in II minutes. 1t intends to de-
velop a system of terminals in both
Kansas Citys and to that extent will
be a competitor of the Metropolitan
system.
BY far the most important feature of
its plans is the development of a great
system of interurban tranction lines
reaching out into the various lively
cities of Kansas within 100 miles of
Kansas City. The road is to be extend
ed from its present terminus in Leaven-
worth and will run to Atchison and to
ST. Joseph. Another line will run to
Lawrence and Topeka ultimately, while
another line will run to Olathe and Pa
ola, and down into the gas and oil
country. 1t is not definitely decided but
quite probable the company will run
line later to Liberty. and from that city
to Excelsior Springs. It is certain to
be done if some suitable arrangement
for bridge can be made.

railroad became as bad as any of
them about Sabbath observaaces.

hold train five or ten minutes for a
friend to finish packing up or to con-
clude a business deal Sometimes, it
is also stated. when big meetings were
going on along the line the conductor
would stop the train SO that the pas
