HAITI IN A FERMENT
Natives Want to Force Ameri-
can Intervention.
NO HOPE OF REVOLUTION
Merely Want Foreign Protection of
Residents.
STATE DEPARTMENT IS QUIET
Determination Expressed to Adhere
to Hands OF" Policy-United
States Interests Small.

PORT AC PRINCE. April 9.-There is
reason to believe that measures are now
being taken in this city to force the in
tervention of the United States if possl-
ole At the moment apparent tran
1ullity prevails, but there is good au-
thority for the statement that hostility
against the present Haitian government
growing more intense.
1t is rumored and the rumor is a very
general one. that those who are opposed
the present government including the
,etter classes of Haitians. contemplate
movement which will bring matters to
'risis within very short time. II is
aid that they will take advantage of
he presence in the harbor of the United
States warships to make an armed dem

A prominent Haitian official. who is
highly esteemed in the foreign colony,
said today:

perpetuating it's power through sheer ter
rorism.
What ground has the United States to
intervene in Haiti?"
That is the question which is invariably
put by officials of the State Department
when inquiry Is made concerning the re-
ported desire for American Intervention
constantly indicated in press dispatches
from Port au Prince and European
sources.
That the United States has no ground to
interfere with the Haitian government Is
made clear at the State Department. The
only exception to the traditional policy
of non-nterference would be In case
American interests were in jeopardy, and
i; is added significantly that American in
terests in Haiti are infinitesimal
The evident intention to adhere to the
policy of hands off, in Haiti is declared
to be in accordance with the general and
broader policy of the United States gov
ernment, that of discouraging revolutions
in the western hemisphere. To further
that policy revolutionary refugees are de-
MED asylum in United States legations.
