WILL FIGHT 1T OUT
SIMON FLEES FROM HAITI TO ES-
CAPE HIS ENEMIES.
While Two Negro Generals Are Apt
70 Fight for the Presidency of the
Little Republic.

A dispatch from Port-au-Prince
says Antoine Simon, the fleeing Pres
ident of Haiti, sailed Friday night fol
Kingston, Jamaica, the refugee o1
Hayti's fallen heroes as the varsity
at Decembre," which took its name
from the day he was unanimously
elected president of the black repub'
lie, doomed doleful farewell.
He follows in the wake Of Nord
Alexis, whom he overthrow in 1908
and he leaves the capital in the pos
session Of Cincinnatus LeConte
whom he had driven into exile with
his deposed chief, and Antenor Fir.
min, a rival for the presidency whom
he placated by sending as minister tc
Cuba.
Nord Alexis ruled for six years. Or
December 81, 1908, Simon, then al
the height of his popularity, led an
overwhelming revolutionary army in
to Port-au-Prince and was everywhere
proclaimed as a savior of the coun'
try from tyranny. He appeared tc
have the country united behind him
Nord Alexis, who had found safety
on the French cruiser Duguay Trouin
later boarded the German steamer
Sarnia and proceeded to Kingston
where, embittered against his coun'
t1ymen, he died in the spring OF
1910 To the last he refused to ad.
nit that he could understand the
hostility of the people.
With Simon disposed Of, attention
has turned to to his successor, and
there is much uneasiness regarding
the future. L,aConte and Firmin both
are avowed candidates for the presi'
dency. They head rival revolution
ary armies. Neither leader. has ar
rived at the capital, but their follow
ers are in possession Of the city and
the feeling between the two parties
is far from friendly.
The danger now is that neither
l.cgro will be disposed 70 retire In
favor Of the other and that the Is
sue must be literally fought out. The
Diplomatic corps Is doing everything
possible to avoid a conflict. But as
nothing seems to please the negroes
of the Haitian Republic better than
revolution, it is doubtful If they sue
ceed.
Early Thursday evening Simon and
handful Of followers with their bag

American schooner Bradford G.

Water So Low That Fish Cannot Ea

dred People Die From Fever as the
Results of Gastriis Caused by
Lack of Water and Ice.

"A sepcial cablegram to the New
York World from Berlin, Germany,
says over thousand deaths have re-
suited from sunstroke during the ten
days of Germany's heat wave, as well
as many more from heart failure
during bathing, and some 500 from
gastritis and typhus caused by lack
of water.
An epidemic has broken out in the
Moselle valley, caused, according to
medical reports, by decaying fish,
which were netted in Shoals. Vast
quantities have ben handed the pub
lie authorities for destruction. The
fish were suffering from a kind Of
scrofula owing to the overheated wa
ter.
In many German cities the water
works supply water for a couple Of
hours daily. The police have had to
issue orders that no water from the
ordinary city supply pipes be used ex-
cept for drinking. Even in Berlin the
authorities have suspended street
watering except an the main avenues,
as fears are entertained that the sup
ply may run short.
In the South German states almost
all the governments have suspended
work in public departments, except
for few hours in the early morning,
as sickness resulting from the heat,
has deGmated the staffs.
Schools will not be reopened In
the middle Of August as usual be-
cause the doctors declare that only
strong children would be able to en-
dure brain work in the intense heat.
Meteorological authorities say the
weather must get hotter before the
heat wave passes.
Americans declare that the heat ss
more intense in Berlin than in New
Yrok, but not so deadly. Americans
who reached Berlin this week, almost
all left again for the South, as the
city is simply a furnace.
Ice supplies are running short.
Chemists, who are ordinarily bound
to supply ice from distilled water,
will only sell it now on Doctors
certificate that it is absolutely nee
essary.

Mississippi River, Sept. II, 1862.
Sir: I was overhauled yesterday
by Lieut.. Cammonding Lowrey, Of
the Scotia, while at Bonnet Carre
Point, and directed him to follow on
as convoy of three transports of the
United States army. Upon arrival at
Donaldsville this lady the transports
landed at the upper part of the town,
landed a party of troops and COM
menced receiving on board sugar and
other merchandise. A few hours af-
ter I received positive Information
that company Of these troops had
entered a large mansion, situated
near 10 the landing Of the steamer
St. Maurice, had pillaged it in d
brutal manner and carried off wines,
liquors, silver plate and clothing be-
longing to ladies. am informed
that several of the soldiers were in
toxicated from the use Of wines and
liquors thus appropriated. The
house was inhabited in the morn
ing. During this time the Katah-
din was at ancor with her guns train
upon shore over St. Maurice for her
her protection.

used for the protection Of soldiers

pillage of private mansion Of wine,
plate, silk dresses, chemises and fe-
male apparel, to say nothing of the
confiscation of sugar, which I be-
lieve to be without proper and law
full reasons therefor.
I confess, sir, that I blush to re-
port that while the troops Of the St..
Maurice were thus enga ged in this
unsoldierly and ungallant, not to say
disgraceful, operation I opened my
fire upon guerillas lowering in the
rear, apparently occupied in prevent
ing such acts of the United States
troops.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, June 20.-In a wild whirl
of buying, wheat today leaped up mora
than 2 a bushel. The excitement was
due to the fact that severe crop dam
age reports from South Dakota were
apparently not only confirmed, but
seemed in some respects to lave undec.
stated actual conditions. Nearly every
broker in the wheat crowd joined In
the scramble for the scanty offerings
available. So eager was the rush thai
as much as 81 cent to 1% difference re-
suited in trades made at the same in
slant in separate sides of the pit. The
prevalent view was that taking South
Dakota as a whole, moisture was badly
needed, and that even with bountifnl
rainfall from now on the chances were
that the State would not harvest half a
crop.
Southwestern Minnesota was also
conceded by the most conservative -
be distressingly dry. With no rain re-
ported anywhere Northwest. the open
ing here ran all the way from n to 2M
higher than last night. July started a.
SO to 90, a gain of Il to IA, and rose
to 907s. September, which had made
an upward jump of more thar 2 yester.
day. duplicated the performance this
morning, and. moreover. did SO FROM
the top figures previously reached.
Initial sales for that mbnth were SO to
9024. as compared with 1856 last eve
ming. When a breathing spot was
reached the price was fiuctuating on
the upper side of 80.
In corn the situation was much the
same as in wheat-all hands full of or
ders to purchase, but sellers far too
scarce for comfort. September opened
h@5s to B@1 up at 57h to 575s, but
steadied around 57A.
Oats were decidedly active and buoy
ant. Commission houses took the bull
side almost in a body. September
started A@3s to &G7s higher at 40A
to 40S and touched 40M.
Provisions alone displayed steady
feeling. Initial sales were a shade to
~ up. with September lard S.35 and
September ribs $50. Nc business was
done in pork.
