Representative 81 France Advises Ref.
uoees In French Legation to Sc.
cure Arms and BE Prepared to De
fend Themselves 1T Attacked.

Port Au Prince, April 1.-The spir-
1t of uncertainty and Of unrest still
prevails in Port Au Prince. The re-
cent abortive attempt At . second mn
rising mere i which General Lar
raque, chief of the cavalry, and sew
eral other army officers are alleged to
have been implicated, has given the
government q cause for searching all
quarters Of the city in the hope Of
finding others suspected with being
involved in the plot.
The French minister to Hayti, M.
Cartern, has recently shown consider
able alarm concerning the action the
Haytien government may take against
the refugees now In the French lega-
ton. Some Of the refugees them
selves say that the minister has ad-
vised Them to procure pistols and as
much ammunition as possible SO Eat
they may be prepared to defend
themselves. According to the refu.
gees NJ. Carteron told them that he
was unable to guarantee protection in
the event Of an attack upon the lega-
ton by government troops.
The French minister, when asked
today with regard to this statement,
declined to deny or affirm it, but he
did say that he made a representa-
ton Of the case to M. Berno, the min
lister Of state, pointing out to him the
French contention that giving sane
tuary to the refugees was an abso.
lutte legitimate proceeding.
Government c%onclliatory.
It is generally believed here that
the alarm of the French minister is
%unfounded. UP to the present the
governments attitude has been a
conciliatory one and it seems to he
its intention not to offer the slightest
excuse for foreign Intervention. There
are rumors here that the summary
executions continue In nearby coun'
try districts. For a long time past
the government has had large mum.
Der Of so-called political prisoners on
hand and it is reported that almost
nightly some Of these are taken from
the prisons, transported to the coun'
try districts not very remote from the
city and shot. This the government
vehemently denies.
The French cruiser D'Estrees has
not returned here from the island Of
st. Thomas, where she took the refu
gees from Gonaives. The German
cruiser Bremen returned yesterday
from Kingst4 and the United states
cruiser Des Moines and the gunboat
Marietta are still here, the gunboat
Eagle having left two days ago anG
the gunboat Paducah having sailed
for Guantanamo today, where she will

tional convention, which will meet
here tomorrow. s@.
The majority of the members Of the
peoples party and the various re-
form organizations which will partici-
pate in the convention rebuffed the
Bryan people at every turn. They
also refused to classify Bryan as any
thing but a democrat, who has no
right to participate in the councils Of
the populist party or to receive CON
s%ideration at its hands.
The Bryanites will carry the fight
into the convention as a last resort.
Their demand was for a postpone
ment of the convention.
They declared that in their opinion
the nomination Of candidates at the
present time is premature and that 1t
would be wisdom to await the action
of the republican and democratic con-
ventions before placing a ticket in

are in q minority as compared to the
Watson men, but claimed to have let.
