GOVERNMENT.

inclined to Shelve His Opponent, Gen.
Firmin BY Sending Him as Min
ister to Paris.

PORT AU-PRINCE, Dec. S.-Gen.
Simon, after proceeding around the
city. accompanied by body Of troops,
took possession of the National Palace
today. He was received AZ the en-
trance by Gen. Alphonse, commander
of the gard, amid the acclamations
of the people and the soldiers.
Gen. Simon has not yet appointed
his Cabinet, as he is awaiting the ar
rival of several other revolutionary
leaders, including Gen. Antenor Fir
minmin. who will be permitted to
land here 1t is probable that Gen.
Simon will appoint Gen. Fouchard
Minister of Finance and will ask Gen.
Firmin to accept the post of Minister
at Paris.
The United States cruiser Tacoma
left today for st. Marc and Gonaives,
from which towns have come reports
of threatened trouble. Word received
today from the places was of a more
favorable nature, the people at both
towns apparently observing order up
to the present. Nevertheless troops
have been snt to Gonaives under com
mand of Gen. Poidevin, who is highly
thought of there, and it is believed
that he will have no difficulty in
checking any revolutionary tendency
that the residents of Gonaives may I
show. 1t was Gen. Poidevin who took
charge here after President Nord
Alexis had been driven out and riot
and pillage had broken loose. He put
himself in the head of the citizens
and loyal troops and attacked the riot
ers, killing number of them.
It is understood that all the refu- 7
gees at the foreign legations will be
given their liberty.

automobile accident late today.
The diplomats were riding in a
heavy touring car when it turned
turtle just after passing over the high
way bridge into Virginia, the occu-
pants being hurled beneath the car
and pinioned under the tonneau.
When they were extricated they were
apparently unconscious and were
bleeding freely from face and scalp
wounds. George Startling, the chauf-
feur, escaped with bruises about the
head and legs.
Senior Barrios is suffering from con-
cussiOn of the brain and is supposed
to have sustained a fracture of the
skull aside from internal injuries. Late
tonight he is still unconscious and the
physicians say his condition is criti-
cal. DR.. Herrarte was badly cut about
the face and badly, but his condition
is not serious. Gen. Drummond suf-
fered decorations of the face and head
When the accident happened the
party was proceeding toward Mount

After the car had proceeded about
fifty yards, it came upon a small bug

lddenly realized that about $4,000, :

'opped from his pockets during the
,cident. The surgeons notified the
olice, who went to the scene and re-
