American Gnnboat sails.

Washington. March Ie.---An American
war vessel. probably the sunboat Eagle.
is now on the way from Guantanamo
to Port au Prince, Hayti, where the
Haytian Government summarily exe-
cuted several revolutionists.
The vessel is not sent there because
OF any serious apprehension on thepart
OF the offieielgSbere. that American in
terests at PORT au Prince or at other
points IN Hayti are In serious danger,
but as matter OF precaution.
The decision to send the war vessel
was reached today after the officials
had read the newspaper accounts OF
the executions. supplemented by the
information which the State Depart
ment received from the Island. Com
nander Potts whose hagship is the
cruiser Des Moines, is the senior oficer
at Guantanamo and he was directed TO
despatch one of his vessels to Hayti.
II is asserted that General Firman,
the Haytien revolutionary leader, now
refugee In the French consulate at
Gonaixes, Is at the head of another rev.
oIution against the constituted author
ities. and it is believed that the shoot
ing of the reyolutipnists at Port au
Prince is the direct result of the dis
covery OF this fact. The statement
that General Firman is fomenting an
other revolutionary movement is stated
In a dispatch received here by Leger,
the Hayden Minister. The dispatch
said In effect that letters from Ftrman's
TO Haytiens in Port au Prince had been
intercepted by the Government and that
eleven persons had been arrested to
whom these letters were directed. The
impression at the legation ia that these
are the persons who we're shot by the
Haytien authorities Saturday.
IT is not believed at the State De-
partment that foreign interests at
Hayti are seriously menaced. The dis
position of the administration Is to
keep hands off and to give the people
Of Hayti an opportunity to work out
their own salvation. 1t is realized that
in dealing in revolutionary movements.
stern repressive measures often are
necessary and the impression here is
that il is not up to the American Gov
eminent to interfere with the acts of
our neiRhbors unless the situation IL
such that our interests are in jeopardy
or that broad humanitarian measures
require us to interfere.
The Haytien Government Is anxious
that these men shall be required to
leave the country but the friends of
the refugees are opposed to sending
them away. The Government believes
that II they are permitted to remain
n will not be long before they will be
engaged in another revolutionary
movement.
Ambassador Sternberg of Germany,
who has just returned from a trip to
Cuba, was at the State Department late
this afternoon His mission was to seek
information of the conditions In Hayti

would give entire satisfaction or the
medicine would not cost the user
single cent, they were believed.
Ever since this announcement the
store of the Paul V. Mccoy Drug Co.
has been crowded by people buying
Rexall Remedies; all of which proves
that the Paul " Mccoy Drug store
has the confidence of the people
and that honesty is the best policy.
There is no ''cure-all'' among the
Rexall Remedies,-there are 800 diff.
ferent and separate medicines; one
for each human ill, and each unques-
tionably the best of it's kind.
