 Washington, Jan. 1S-Mr. Leger, the Haytien Minister, was at first disposed to regret that American Minister Flu miss and Commander Marvell. of the Eagle, should have interfered in Hay ii to the extent of protesting against the summary bombardment of the re- bellious forces in St. Marie and Con- dives.
 The State Department officials how ever, pointed out that this protest was entirely in the line of rules of war in modern times, and that the second Hague conference, in which Hayti was represented by Minister Leger had crystalized the indefinite law on this subject into permanent international obligation by the general treaty prohib- iting bombardments2wit proper mo- tice.
 The only news received from the scene of the trouble today was dis patch sent to the Navy Department by Commander Marvell, after he had reached Guantanamo aboard the gun boat Eagle. He said when the vessel left Port Au Prince at 10 o'clock Fri day morning. everything was quiet there and when it left St. Marc, at : o'clock in the afternoon, matters there also were quiet and that the revolution. ists ashore were guarding the consul ates of the various nations.

Whitaker Says: "Oc- casionally some man arises. does his life work and passes. whose personali- ty is so striking or whose character is so strong or whose destiny is to be a chief factor in so important a work or period, that simple justice to those who come after demands that they shall have the benefit of his example" MT. Whitaker had a great subject in Bish- op Wilmer and he has made a splendid presentation of his life and character. He knew him well, loved and admired him and had many opportunities for writing of his personal side. The book is one of deep interest and ought to have a wide reading not only among the Episcopal Church people but those of all denominations. Bishop Winners life and work were q part of Alabama's history.
