UNITED STATES SHIPS
hurry TO HAITI
Battleship and Transport Ordered
to Port-au-Prince.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 30.-Or'
ders to proceed with all possible
speed from Dominican waters tC
Port-au-Prince, the rebel-held CAPT
tai of Haiti, were sent by the navy
department yesterday to the trans
port Hancock, which has on board a
full regiment of marines. At the
same time the battleship Kansas
was ordered to Port-au-Prince from
Vera Cruz.
The Hancock should arrive today
and the Nebraska probably tomor-
row. The cruiser Tacoma already
is at Port-au-Prince, and detach-
ment of her marines was landed
last week to protect the American
consulate, after an understanding
had been reached with both factions.
What further steps shall be taken
to protect the lives and property of
Americans and other foreigners
probably will be left for the present
to naval officers on the scene. No
official report had reached Washing
ton yesterday of the latest disturb
ances in Port au-Prince, but earlier
dispatches announcing that Davil-
mar Theodore, having proclaimed
himself president, was marching
against the capital, caused the state
department to ask the navy to pre-
pare to deal with a serious situation.
The marines on board the Han
cock have just finished serving as
watchers at polls for the presiden-
tial elections in the Dominican gov
eminent. The voting there closed
last night, but the result has not
been announced.

AVOID CALL TO ARMS
Four Hundred From Is to Is Years
old, Arrive at New York.

New York, Oct. 30.-Four hun
dred Irishmen from 16 to rs years
old, came over from Queenstown in
a body on the steamer Cedric which
reached here yesterday. They de-
clined to say that they had come tc
America rather than enlist in the
British army, but did say they came
here to look for work.
1t was reported among the other
passengers that they had left Ire
land because an Irish labor leader
had convinced them that the British
government was soon to enforce con-
scription in Ireland.
According to recent mail advices
from Dublin the emigration Of Irish
men of military service age has been
heavier this fall than in many years
and was giving the authorities some
uneasiness.

.|0WAN VICTIM
OF old sW|NDLE
lowan Loses Five Thousand Dollars
at Minneapolis-Attaches Home
of New Found Friend.

Algona, Ia, Oct. 30.-Jame
Green Of this city, while in Mime
apolis last week, was the victim O.
one of the cIeverest swiudlers in tn
business today. On arriving in thu
city he met "a good fellow" and pro
ceeded to put up with him.
Dropping into the turf exchange
Green witnessed his friend win sew
eral large bets on horse races in va
rious parts of the country, the re.
suits coming by telegraph and were
checked upon the usual black board
Green became interested and bet on
a fayorite and as a result won $15,-
600. ,..y
However, in order to show good
faith, it was necessary that he put
up q deposit. The $4,000 with
which he intended to buy land was
accordingly drawn from his home
bank through the medium of Min
neapolis bank. He was put off from
day to day by the swindlers on re-
quests for his money and returned
a few days ago with his unknown
friend to demand payment.
A mock revolver battle ensued in
which Mr. Green escaped very luck
lily. He returned home and secured
the aid of local officer. His friend
Dixon was placed under arrest fol-
lowing his action to recover. Dixon
is said to be one of the cleverest
swindlers in the country. He has
been accused of stealing $4,000 and
has gained his liberty by the for
fixture of $4,000 bond. In over
looking the disposal Of country
home at Tonka Bay, Lake Minne-
tonka, which is recorded in the
name of Edward Bryant, his real
name Dixon, he left a means for
Green to recover damages, which his
attorney is attempting to attach.
