Japan, Borneo and New South Wales

He THREATENS TO
MASSACRE NATIVES
Unless Given His Own Way and
Permitted TO End His Term Of
Office Says He viii Write
His Name In History
viii XIII Enemies.

Port au Prince, Hayu, April ga
While there have been many arrests
of natives suspected of sympathy with
the late revolution and political pris-
oners continue to be brought in in
patches from interior points, there
have been no more public shootings
here. Indeed the government denies
THAT any more executions have taken
place. This, however, is incredible
in view of the fact that many per-
sons are known to have been dragged
from their beds at night and that all
trace of them has been lost.
In the executions of March Is last
President Nord Alexis achieved the
double purpose of obliterating as
many of his foes as he could lay
hands on, and striking terror into the
hearts of those who were beyond his
reach Since then his name and that
of his ferocious lieutenant, General
Jules Alexis Coicou, who personally
directed the shooting of the prison
ers, including some of his own blood
relatives, are mentioned only in whis-
pers. All Hayti trembles before them.
Alexis has made the significant
statement that If he is not permitted
to end his term of office unmolested,
he will, rather than submit to depo-
sition write his name on the scroll OF
fame in the blood of such a massacre
as Hayu hJs ret sceg sirce the days
OF Desalines once hIoWn as Jean
Jaques No one doubts his ability to
carry out this threat, which Is under
stood to be intended as a deterrent
not only to revolutionistS, but to any
attempt at foreign interference in the
affairs of Hayti.
With order restored and their lives
and property under the protection OF
ships of war, the foremost question in
the minds of foreign residents Is
whether the time has not come fGr a
final solution of the Haytian ques-
tion. All agree that Iayti, during her
hundred and five years of independ-
cnce. has not shown great capacity
| for self government, and the affairs
OF the island have now reached about
the lowest ebb in its history. Desti-
tuition prevails on every hand; ragged
| soldiers swarm the streets beggn
pitcousy. and even officers, bedizened
IN dingy gold and silver lace, beg. cap
in hand, and are profuse i'm thanks
| for a dole of > cents. The soldiers
! beg because their pay when they get
it amounts To less than 80 cents a
month, and what else they are able
! to secure is small. \ general receives
/ 200 gourdes a month, equal to $21,
so that in order To live he must add
/ to his income as best he may. Sim
! ilarly, all government officials who
are paid in the dcbased currency, are
| expected to recoup themselves in
| some manner.

licved that his illness is of a nature
that might be expected in man OF

Washington, April 23-President
Roosevelt yesterday signed the en-

opinion from Attorney General Bona
parte that the measure was constitu-

The bill makes railroads or other

jury or death of an employe if the in
jury results in whole or in part from
the negligence of any of the officers.
agents or employees of such carriers
or by reason of any defect or insuffi-
cheney in equipment. This provision
Is made applicable to carriers in the
territories, the District OF Columbia,
the Panama canal zone and other pos
sessions of the United States. 1t Is
provided that in any action brought
under the provisions of the bill the
injured employe shall not be held to
have assumed the risk of his employ
ment in any case where the violation
by the safety of employees contributed
TO the injury or death of the employe.
ANY contract rule, regulation or de-
vice to enable the carrier to exempt
itself from being liable under the act
S rendered void by a specific declara-
ton to that end, Provision Is made,
however, that the carrier shall receive
credit for any contribution made to
the employe or his family in the form
OF insurance. relief. benefit or indem-
| nifty. An action for the r,seo tery, OF
damages must be commenced within
two years from the date of the cause
of the suit.
In his opinion the attorney general
indicates that the bill is confined in
its scope to common carriers by rail-
roads" as distinguished from the act
declared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court which embraced AL
common carriers engaged in Interstate

| The attorney general then SHOWS
| through court decisions and constitu-
