AID SYRIAN. AMERICANS
New Law Is Now in Effect in Hayt
Island.

WASHINGTON. April The law
recently passed in Hayti requiring all
Syrian traders to settle their affairs
cease trading and leave the country
becomes effective today, according to
advices from Port Au Prince, and the
consequence of it's enforcement are
awaited with considerable interest by
the state department here, owing to
the fact that number of Syrians do
ing business in the island claim Amer
lean citizenship, and have asked the
protection of this government. White
the state department is not always
keenly on the alert to protect this
country's subjects, wherever they may
be, it is the prevailing opinion that
the most of the so-called American cit
izens among the Syrian residents of
Hayti are of the bogus variety, such
as are to be found in plenty among all
the West Indian islands. They obtain
citizenship papers in this country, Oft
times through gross fraud, and with
the single purpose of using them to
protect their commercial interests in
the islands where they have taken res
idence. Among those we'll informed
in the matter, the action of Hayti in
barring the Syrians is considered but
a natural result of the conditions that
have existed there for some years.
The Syrians are extremely obnoxious
to the natives, as they have managed
to obtain control of most of the retail
business of the island and are reputed
to be unscrupulous dealers and merci-
less creditors.
