HUSTLES WARSHIPS TO PORT
AU PRINCE.
SITUATION CRITICAL
Haytien and French Government
Relations Becoming Acute
Morse Will Pay His
Debts.

Washington.-An American war
vessel, probably the gunboat Eagle,
is now on the way from Guantanamo
to Port Au Prince, Hayti, where the
Haytien government summarily ex-
ecuted several revolutionists. The YES
sci is not sent there because of any
serious apprehension on the part of
the officials here that American in
terests at Port Au Prince, or at other
points in Hayti, are in serious dam
ger, but as a matter of precautisn.
The decision to send the war vessel
was issued after the officials had read
the newspaper account of the exeeu-
tons, supplemented by the informa-
ton which the state department re-
ceived from the island. Commander
Potts, whose flagship is the Cruiser
Des Moines, is the senior officer at
Guantanamo, and he was directed to
dispatch one of his vessels to Egypt.
1t is asserted that General Firmin,
the Haytien revolutionary leader now
a refugee in the French consulate at
Gonaiyes, 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.
The statement that General Fir

tionary movement, is made in a dis
