Government Threatens to Go After
Refugees Under Foreign
Protection.

Paris, March 1.-THE situation be,
tween the Haytian government and
France has become acute and critical.
The French legation at Por1 au Prince
is menaced and general massacre of
the white residents of the island is
feared. This information was con-
veyed in an official dispatch to the
foreign Office from N, Carteron, the
French minister to Hayti.
The latter part of last week NJ.
Borno. the Hayttan minister Of state,
assured M. Carteron that Hayti would
agree to allow the refugees who had
taken asylum in the French consulates
at qonaiyes and st, Marc to leave the
island. Now there comes the news of
the execution at Port au Prince on
Sunday of between ten and twelve
prominent persons on the charge OF
conspiracy against the government, to-
gethor with a cablegram from M. Car.
teron that General Nord Alexis, pres
idsnt OF Hayti, had not only refused
to confirm the assurances given by M.
Borno but had flatly declined to per:
NIT the refugees in the consulates to
depart. Eleven additional persons
have taken asylum at the French le'
cation.
The French cruiser d'Estrees Is ex.
pected very soon at Gonaives, where
she will act in cooperation with the
British.and German ships Of war now
on their way to Hayti.
It is understood here that France
Germany and Great Britain are act
