MONEY BIG FACTOR
 IN HAITIEN SITUATION Soldiers Will Fight for President as Long as He Pays Them.

New York. July 24.-That money is the power that will decide the out come of the present revolutionary movement in Haiti, is the opinion ex- pressed today by passengers who re- turned from Haitien ports on board the steamer Albingia.
 President Simon has behind him at Port au Prince. the capital, between 5000 and $500 men. If he pays them their full wages regularly they will fight, and he will have good chance of breaking up the revolutionary move ment, the leaders of which. particu- larly LeConte and Firmin, are picker ing among themselves. President Si- mon has money to meet the demands of his soldiers and the belief was ex- pressed that he would gladly pay it out to accomplish his purpose.
 The rebels also have money-it is currently reported in Haiti that cer- tain German commercial interests are backing them, but if the tide turns in favor of Simon this source of war sinews probably will dry up.
