mineo and Possibly Cuba.
Washington, Jan. 24.-Startling de-
velopments in the plot to overthrow
the government of President Nord in
Hayti have followed the investiga-
lions of the secret service agents in
New York in connection with the ar
rest Of Jose Nj. Giordani on the charge
of counterfeiting Haytian money. The
officers say they have aseertained
that the prisoner was the agent of q
formidable conspiracy whose opera
lions probably would have extended
beyond the limits of Hayti into santo
Domingo and even into Cuba had the
revolution in Hayti been q success
and the agents in New York remained
unmolested. It was found among
other things, the secret service op-
eratives declare, that certain persons
in Hayti, mostly Frenchmen and Cor
sicans and one of them q brother of
Giordani. were active agents of the
alleged oonspirators and were desig-
mated in the papers found among
Giordani's effects by numbers. By
careful inquiry the secret service men
were able to connect these numbers
with the proper persons and the first
result was to fix upon Charles Mot,
the American consular agent at st..
Marc, as one of the persons to whom
number had applied. Upon learning
this fact the state department imme-
diately cabled to American Minister
Furniss at Port au Prince to dismiss
this agent at once from the employ of
the United States. This action was
taken because the state department
feels that 1t must keep itself abso-
lutely free from any appearance of
sympathy with rebellious movements
In I-atin-American republics.
Chief Wilkie of the secret service
has made statement giving the facts
and circumstances connected with the
arrest of Giordani, which go to show
that at the time of his arrest Giordani
had In his possession counterfeit Hay
tian paper money to the face value of
$sOO,OO0, 1900 Remington rifles and
100000 rounds of ammunition. all of
which. it is said, was intended for the
Haytian revolutionists.

CLASH WITH The POLICE.
"Army Of Unemployed" Insists
on Parading at Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Several sharp
collisions occurred between the police
and the "arlny of unemployed" who
attempted to parade through the
streets to the city hall, where, they
declared, they intended to demand
work.
Between 100 and 200 men formed in
q column on the lake front and started
to march. The column was more a
succession of groups of four and five
men than a column proper. At State
and Madison streets the crowd was
met by Assistant Chief of Police
Schuettler, who ordered them to dis
perse. They refused to do so and
Assistant Chief Schuettler at once
charged them with his force, breaking
up the column and striking with clubs
those men who attempted to hold
their ground. Several men were
knocked down, but not seriously In
jured. The police made no attempt at
arrests, but by striking the men on
the back compelled them to keep
moving.
A portion Of the crowd turned south
In State street and headed toward
Jackson boulevard. They managed to
get away from the police and formed
another column, which was overtaken
at Clark street and Jackson boulevard
and again charged by the police. Sew
eral men were dubbed and the crowd
was scattered. : ..~az
I,r. Reitman, who led the second de-
tachment, was placed under arrest at
Jackson boulevard and Clark street,
after being somewhat roughly han.
died. His hat was smashed, his
clothes we're torn and his followers
were sent flying in all directions.
Immediately following the brushes
with the crowd Chief of Police Shippy
called the reserves from the nearby
stations down into the business sec
ton, but the trouble was over before
they arrived, s.'~
