AMERICAN WAR VESSEL
On Its Way From Guantanamo to Port
au Prince.

Washington. March 17.-An Amer
ican war vessel, probably the gunboat
Eagle, is on the way from Guantana-
mo to Port au Prince, Hayti, where
the Haytien government Sunday sum-
marily executed number Of alleged
revolutionsts.
The vessel is not sent there because
of any serious apprehension on the
part of the officials here that Ameri-
can interests at Port au Prince or at
other points in Hayti are in serious
danger, but as matter Of precaution.
1t is asserted that General Firmin, the
Haytien revolutionary leader, now a
refugee in the French consulate at
Gonaives, is at the head Of another
revolutionary movement against the
constituted authorities and it is be-
lieved that the shooting of the Hay
items at Port au Prince is the direct
result of the discovery Of this fact.
It is not believed at the state de-
partment that foreign interests in
Hayti are seriously menaced. The
disposition of the administration is to
keep hands off and to give the people
of Hayti an opportunity to work out
their own salvation.
Most of the revolutionary refugees
in Hayti are in the French consulate
at Gonaives, where in addition to
General Firmin there are about seven
ty native Haytiens seeking shelter.
The Haytien government is anxious
that these men shall be required to
quit the country, but the friends OF
the refugees are opposed to sending
them away. The government believes
that il they are permitted to remain
1t will not be long before they will be
engaged in another revolutionary
movement.
Ambassador Sternberg of Germany,
who has Just returned from trip to
Cuba was at the state department
late in the afternoon-but his mission
was to seek information of the condi-
tions in Hayti so far as the state de-
partment was in possession of them.

tors by President Nord.

Statement That General Antenor Fir
min, Who Is Refugee In French
Consulate, Had Organized Through
Correspondence a New lnsurrection
In Port au Prince-other Arrests.
Port au Prince, Hayti, March IT,
The Haytien governments attitude
in summarily dealing with a number
Of alleged conspirators in threatened
uprising has had the effect of causing
anxiety in the hearts of many for it
Is not known where the next blow
may fall, or how far reaching the rev.
olutionary troubles may be.
Outwardly, Port au Prince is calm,
and, following the execution on Sun
day of ten or eleven men alleged to
nave been implicated in the plot. Pres
ident Nord Alexis issued proclama-
tion to the people, in which he felici-
tates them upon their calm attitude
in the present trying conditions and
gives reassurances to the community,
promising that order and the security
of the government will be maintained.
The statement is made officially
that the government, having come
into possession of proofs that General
Antenor Firmin, the leader of the
late unsuccessful revolutionary move
ment. who is now refugee in the
French consulate at Gonaives, had or
ganized, through correspondence, a
new insurrection in Port au Prince,
decided upon the arrest of the prin-
cipal conspirators.
This uprising, the statement contin-
ues had as its object the overthrow
of the government and the assassin
alton of the president and it was dis
covered through the interception OF
letters sent by General Firmin to a
number of his adherents and others
in an attempt to enlist them in the
new movement.
The conspirators were taken by sur
prise with arms and ammunition in
their possession, and were executed
forthwith The chief conspirator,
Masillon Coicou before he was exc
cuted, gave the names of several mil
itary officers who, he declared, were
implicated in the plot. These men
have been placed under arrest and
will be given a trial, 1t is stated, be-
| fore a regular court.

CAPITOL CONSPIRACY,
Verdict of Guilty Against Four
Defendants at Harrisburg.

Fleet at Maedalena Bay-Verdlct on
ColIinwood Fire - China Yields to
Japan--Thaws Answer to His Wife's
Suit - Priests Slayer Sentenced.
Successful Air Ship.
The jury in the first of the Capitol
conspiracy cases to be tried gave a
verdict of guilty as to every one of
the four men who have been on trial
at Harrisburg, Pa, for the last seven
weeks, after six hours deliberation.
The men found guilty are: John H.
Sanderson, contractor; William P.
Snyder, former auditor-general; w.
L. Mathues, former state treasurer,
and James vi. Schumacher, former SUI
perintendcnt of public Buildings and
grounds.
The maximum penalties for each
defendant in this case is two years
Imprisonment and 81 600 fine.
The four men were convicted of de-
frauding the state in furnishing the
new Capitol, which cost the state
about $13,000,0O0 instead of 100000
the figure at which the contract was
estimated.
The present case constituted one
of the longest jury trials in the his
tory of Pennsylvania courts and it
attracted much attention throughout
the country.
The prosecution of the alleged
frauds was the outcome of the politi-
cal upheaval in Pennsylvania in 1905
which resulted in the election of Will
lam H. Berry, a Democrat as state
treasurer in the fall of that year.
Berry threw open the books of the
state treasury and showed that the
cost of building the Capitol was more
than three times the amount of the
contract.
The case was laid before the attor-
ney general and Indictments were
found against fourteen persons.

Fleet to Return by suez Canal.

News that the American battleship
feet is to make tour of the world
within two months after its arrival at
San Francisco May was flashed by
wireless telegraph to the battleships
of Admiral Evans command at Mag
dalena bay by the government station
at Point Iona.
Admiral Evans, who will relinquish
command of the fleet during its stay
at San Francisco, and who goes on
the retired list in August, was eX-
pecting some official word from Wash
ington on future movements of the
fleet, and it was to enable the depart
ment to prepare its program that he
sent the message the night of his ar
rival off Magdalena bay that the ships
could start on any mission at days
notice.
The fact that but two months are
to be allowed between the arrival of
the feet at San Francisco and its de-
parture for the Far East indicates
that no serious repairs are needed by
any of the vessels and that any stays
that may he made in drydocks will be
exceedingly short. The time for re-
pairs will be cut down by the excur-
sion of the fleet to Puget sound to
give the people of the North Pacific
coast an opportunity to see and visit
the ships which have recently occu-
pied SO much of the worlds attention
1t is believed by navy officers here
that the fleet will visit France, Ger.
many and England instead of sailing
direct from Gibraltar to New York.
A formal invitation from Japan, it
IS said, might he complied with during
the stay of the feet in the Philippines
or after the completion of the fall tar
get practice.

Verdict on coIlinwood Sc


Coroner Burke has rendered his de-
cison in the Collinwood school fire.
Conditions existing are blamed, but
no fault is charged to anyone.
The coroner says the fire was
caused by overheated pipes and the
death of the children was due to faulty
construction whereby a partition pro-
jected in front of the stairway.
The coroner recommends that the
state legislature pass a law to make
all school buildings fireproof and that
automatic devices be put in the
buildings to further safeguard the
,!.yes of the children.
The fire resulting from the ignition
of the front stairway from the over
heated pipes started in a closet under
the stairway and the partition projec-
ton at the bottom of the stairway
made the children turn out of their
way in their rush for the door
The coroner holds that the children
became panic-stricken and were
iammed in the doorway because of
the turn in the hall to get to the door.
Janitor Hirter is exonerated. The
coroner says the janitor was at his
post when the fire broke out and that
he duly gave the alarm upon discov-
ering the fire, and that he opened the
front and rear doors of the building
