More Trouhle.

An American man-of-war sill be ent
to Port-au-Prince to protect American
interests. This determination was ar
rived at yesterday when the State De-
partment received a cablegram from
Minister Powell saying tina, serious
trouble is impending in Hayti, and it is
doubtful whether the authorities can
maintain peace and order ON March 81
and April /. The State Department
Immediately requested the Navy Depart
ment to dispatch war vessel to Port

are unable to explain the significance Of
the dates, March 81 and April /, men,
toned in the cablegram from Minister
Powell as the days GU which trouble
might be expected in Hayti. 1t can only
be surmised that another revelation is
imminent on the island.

The Philadelphia North American
in mentioning the recent decision o the
Maryland Court of Appeals concerning
the constitutional amendment says:
The Maryland Court of Appeals
Thursday decided unanimously in favor
oil the constitutional amendment adopted
by the last legislature for the disiran-
chisement of negroes. Thus Cover ;Or
War6eld (republican) will be compelled
to proclaim the amendment so that it
can be voted on at the fall election.
This is regarded as victory for the
democratic organization.
Gov Warfeld was elected as a demo
crat, but his action in several party
matters after he became governor was
calculated to make others, as we'll as
the usually well informed North
American, think hs is is republican.
But the decision of the court was a
democratic victory all the same,

RussIa,s InternaI Troubles.

St. Petersburg, March 30.-rhe in-
ternal troubles of Russia are increasing.
Late reports show that the disorders are
being kept up in many quarters. The

santry looted the estate Of the Princess
Jussapofi in the Vononenz district.
Cholera is spreading in southern Russia,
adding intense alarm to the general I'M
rest. The strike situation in the Riga
district is not improved. The social
democrats are blamed to some extent in
fomenling the disorders and several local
leaders OF the social democratic federation
have been arrested.
The bold stand taken By Besiarbetza
of the Journal Of Kroussivanj, whose
Office was recently stoned, has startled
the leaders. Referring to the demon
stration against him the editor publishes
the following: ave only write to say
that these and similar methods are stupid
and useless; stupid, because they only
increase the sympathy OF the public for
our paper and therefore react against The
object of the outrage, and useless, because
our windows are insued. At the same
time we inform our friends that the life
of the editor is insured for 800, 900
roubles, and his will provides Cor the
publication of the paper after his death
without any change in its tendency"

Fire in the Subway.

New York, March S0.-The FIRE in
the subway at 168th street which fol-
lowed an explosion yesterday, when a
runaway train crashed into bulkhead,
said to contain dynamite, was extin-
guished early this morning, after the
fremen had practically flooded the tun-
mel at that point. The marlborough
Company officials deny that the fire was
caused by an explosion of dynamite
loaded on a car for use in blasting
operations. They say several barrels of
lubricatiug oil were set on fire by the
runaway train striking the bulkhead
aud causing short circuit. Flames
followed the explosion. No lives were
lost. The fire will delay the opening of
the upper end OF the subway. Loosened
by the fearful heat the brick roof of the
tunnel fell this morning and crushed to
death Samuel Lyally, fireman on an
engine. Portions of the tunnel roofing
had been caving 10 all night, and the
bosses had warned the fremen Of their
danger.
