=" ooiiiiS Slol, July ZS.-lna Unlted Estates intervened forcibly and quick ly today in Haiti to protect American and foreign lives. when the state de- partment was infor1ed that q mob had murdered and dismembered President Guillaume. and had invaded and violated the French legation at Port au Prince.
 Events there raised the question whether the United States will take tue initiative and punished nsult to the French nation under tha obliga- ton of the Monroe doctrine, or whether France will proceed inde- pendently to punish the Dominican republic herself
 The crime and general disorder in Haita are increasing so rapidly that officials of the navy department TO- day said that it may be necessary to send a strong force to bring about peace Ill the republic.
 uts troubles have been on the hands of the state department for more than a year. Ad'riral Caperton was at Cape Haitien last night when he heard of the anarchy at Port au Prince. and left at once on the cruiser Washington, arriving at Port au Prince between 10 and il o'clock this morning. While cn route, he sent wireless to the navy department, ad- vising it that he heard the French legation was threatened and there was danger to the lives of foreigners.
 The situation, according to Admir- al Caperton, was "very grave"
 At the request of the state de- partment. the navy department today sent Admiral Caperton instructions to land a force at Port au Prince to guard the legations and all foreign CTS. Admiral Caperton has with him force of nearly 300 men, including 100 marines.
 The navy depart1ent then ordered the collier Jason from Guantanamo to Port au Prince with 100 additional marines. More men and ships will be sent if Admiral Caperton needs them.
 The following official dispatch from the United States legation at Port au Prince was given out by the state department:
 About il o'clock this morning United States cruiser Washington entered :he harbor of Port au Prince, just after the president had been taken fro.nl the French legation by q mob. The mob killed and dismember- ed him before the legation. They then paraded the streets with DOT tions of his body on poles"
 Follows Execution of 180.
 Port au Prince. Haiti, July 28.--A mob of infuriated Haitiens today re- moved Vilbrun Guillaume, president of Haiti, from the French legation where he took refuge yesterday, and shot him to death in front of the building.
 This act of violence followed the burial of the 160 political prisoners who were massacred in prison yester- day morning by Guillaume's military chief. Gen. Oscar, at the time of the revolutionary outbreak against Presl- dent Guillaume. Gen. Oscar was shot to death last night.
 The mob, composed mostly of .rela- tives of the victims, invaded the French legation and seized Guillaume. M. Girard, French minister to Haiti, protested vigorously, but he was pow erless.
 Guillaume was dragged forth. Once in the street, the crowd surged around him with imprecations and he was promptly shot to death, his body mutt lated and dragged through the streets.
