CANADIAN IN QUEER FIX.
Cattle Quarantine on Both Frontiers
 Can't Stay in U. S.; Can't Return.

Odgensburg, New York. The es tablishment of an animal quarantine by Prescott, Ont, has placed Edward Hammell of Morrisburg, Ont, in pe- culiar position. Hammell recently rented farm near here and arrived with his son and five horses to work it.
 He claimed free entry to the United States on the ground that he was an emigrant, but the United States GUS tom authorities held that he was not an immigrant and could enter the country only on the payment of the head tax and duty on his horses
 This Hammell refused to do, and started to return to Canada. At the frontier, however. he was stopped by the Canadian authorities, who, al- though Hammell had been out of Can ada less than an hour, demanded that his animals be subjected to a 30-day quarantine. The case has been re- ferred to the government officials at Ottawa.

"I Don't know"-"l Don't Think So"

 These are typical replies given by Archbold when Kellogg began to grill him.

HEMMED IN
INSURGENTS CLOSING IN ON THE
 HAYTIEN CAPITAL.
PILLAGE IS NOT TO BE ALLOWED
Fall of Nord Alexis Government Ex- pected Within Twenty-Four
 Hours.

Washington, D. C.-Dispatches received at the state department Mon- day indicate that the revolutionists under Auguste Simon are drawing close to the Haytien capital and that the government of Nord Alexis and the city of Port au Prince will fall before another 24 hours.
 The cruiser Des Moines is expected to reach Port au Prince at any time. The Tacoma is already there.
 President Nord Alexis is still firm in his desire to fight, according to the dispatches, despite the pleadings of the cabinet, which believes the end is near.
 The Haytien government admits that the insurgents are in possession of Miragoane and the strategetic bridge this side of Miragoane. Fur ther information confirms the report that Petit Goave has been taken by the revolutionists, who are now about ten hours march from Port au Prince.
 Minister Furniss dispatch to this effect is dated on the 29th, so it may be assumed that the revolutionary forces by this time are we'll on their way toward the capital, as there is no serious opposition to their march
 At a meeting of the diplomatic corps, the dispatch also states. the following was the unanimous opinion:
 That the situation is not such as to representatives, but if the insurgents take Legoane and reach the city linn it's, it would be desirable to notify the contesting parties that "pillage and incendiarism and massacre will not be permitted"
