Warships Boom Farewell.

Early last evening Simon, accompanied
by his daughter Clementine. who has re-
manned at his side since he left the pal
ace. and handful Of followers with
their baggage, were transferred from the
American schooner Bradford G. French
to the Dutch steamer Prinz Nederlanden.
and an hour later the vessel sailed for
Kingston. AS the vessel passed out OF
the harbor, and Simon had what may
prove to be his last view of the capital.
the three Haitian warships gave him a
parting salute.
The night passed with comparative
calm. Occasionally the report Of rife
was heard, but the lawless ones were
held pretty well in check. The German
marines who were landed from the cruis-
er Bremen remain on shore, and the Ger
man minister has made 1t known that
he will hold as many armed men In the
city as the situation requires.
1t Is unlikely that an attempt to con-
stitute a provisional government will be
made until Leconte and Firmin arrive.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. August A.
Gen. Firmin sailed last night on the
French steamer Caravelle for Cape Hal

has received a cablegram from Gen. Lee

has arrived at the capital, but their fol-

the feeling between the two parties is far

The danger now is that neither general
will be disposed to retire in favor OF the
other, and that the issue must be literally
fought out. The diplomatic corps Is do

The first committee chosen was made
up equally of Lecontists. Firminists and
neutrals, twenty-one in all. This was not
satisfactory to the F'irminists. and new

representation, was formed. Some OF the
