Catherine Barker, heiress 10 S3O,OOO,OOV
and the richest woman of her age IN
the United States, was married to
Howard Spaulding, jr, shortly after a
p. m. to-day. There was gap IN the
bridal procession as it moved from the
dining room 10 the rose-covered altar
in a corner Of the sun porch overlook

should have been filled by Miss Eliza

What was characterized by the Good

between Miss Goodrich and Howard
Spaulding was responsible for the abb

will not be told by members of either

The break in friendly relations be

ADMIRAL PREDICTS
LONG CAMPAIGN
RevOIutionists Offer Presidency
to 12 Men in Vain-Thir-
teenth Accepts.
tFrom Ths Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, July 31.-Fear of the
Navy Department that the trouble in
Hayti will assume serious proportions
was indicated to-day, when the hospi-
tai ship Solace was ordered to the ISL
and republic. Rear Admiral Caperton
reported that there had been no fur
ther casualties among the landing
party of 400 Americans, but that six
Haytians had been killed and two
wounded.
Admiral Caperton takes the view that
serious trouble is ahead. He said that
the disarming Of soldiers and civilians
alike was still going on. Large quanti-
ties of arms and ammunition already
have been collected and placed under
guard in the palace.
Due to the large area covered by the
city, however. it would take some time
to complete the disarmament of those
within its limits. During this time
there will always remain the danger Of
snipers picking off American sailors
and marines, as was done in Vera Cruz
after the landing there last year.
After twelve prominent men had de-
clined to accept the candidacy for
President offered by the revolutionary
committee, Admiral Caperton stated,
Rosalvo Bobo had come forward to
take this perilous place. The Blot
party at Cape Haltien. according to re-
ports reaching Admiral Caperton, has
declared for Baourand. Admiral Ca
perton pointed out that, in view OF
these conditions, fighting between these
factions was almost sure to follow.
Another dang rous element, he
POINTED out, may result from the pres
ence of large number of unemployed
men in and around Port-au-Prlnce.
The Haytian Construction Company,
an American concern, has stopped work
on its big contracts for lack of funds,
throwing 200 men out &C employment.
The company was being paid out of the
Haytian Treasury, which is now empty.
officials of the Navy Department be-
leve that when the 500 marines who
sailed to-day from Philadelphia on the
battleship Connecticut reinforce the
men already landed by Admiral Caper-
ton the force of Americans at Port
au-Prince will be ample to cope with
the situation.
No representations have been made
by the State Department as result of
the overthrow of the government and
the killing of President Guillsume.
None will be made. it was officially
stated to-day, until new government
is established with which the United
States can deal. AS soon as possible,
however, the government is expected to
renew its efforts TO negotiate treaty
whereby the United States would man.
age the finances of Hayti and secure
the right to intervene in the interest
of peace.
Solon Menos, the Haytian Minister,
conferred with Secretary Lansing, ask
ing COR information from his country.
He has been unable to get any direct
news because of the general disorder
and overthrow of the government.

ably to the State Department, III Wash

Whyley. Consul Frost's report is as
follows:

American citizen, states that subma-
rine did not shell Iberian until the lat

and Superficial wounds. No other
Americans injured" e"
There were siXty-eight men on board
the Iberian when she was attacked,
sixty-one of whom reached shore
safely. In addition TO the ship surgeon
and the muleteer, it is understood that
the ships company numbereG TWO
other American citizens.
The casualties, it is stated, were
caused by the shell fire ordered by the
submarine commander when the vessel
refused to stop. After the men on
board the Iberian had taken TO the
boats the liner was torpedOed and sank
almost Immediately.
DR.. Burns, ship surgeon OF the
Iberian, is quoted as follows:

without warning, a shot came flying
over the bridge and killed six men

mile, and her captain began talking
through a megsphone. He ordered us
