ELUDES THE REBELS
Gen. Leconte, Reported Slain, Escapes
by Sea and Survives Many
Hardships

Port Au Prince, Fayti, Nov. 2s.--Gen.
Leconte, who was reported a few days
ago to have been killed at Jeremie by
the reyolutionists, arrived here yester-
day, thus confirming the reports current
Thursday that he had succeeded in max
ing his escape from the enemy.
He got away in a rowboat with four
officers and two sailors. They were at
sea for three days without provisions,
and finally succeeded in reaching land
at Petit Goave, The general declares
that there were no executions at Jereme,
and that the reports that three men
had been put to death there on his or
ders were incorrect.
Leconte has taken UP again the duties
of minister of teh interior, and General
Auguste, who filed this post when Le-
conte was thought to be dead, has been
made minister Of public works, in sue
cession to Nj. Laraque, who has resigned.
Three divisions of experienced troops
left here yesterday for the south to take
the field against the rebels. These
men are enthusiasts for President Nord

The French schoolship Duguay Trouin
is expected here any day for the protec-
ton OF French interests.

1t is understood that the Sickles

Of the department containing inquiries
from the bureau of forestry. At first it
was thought that the bureau of pubica-
tions, the bureau of forestry and the
bureau of statistics were all involved in
this effort to aid Taft and Sherman at
the governments expense in violation of
law, but the inquiry seems to be mar
rowing the matter down to the bureau
