While no further armed resistance
has been encountered by Rear Admira
Caperton. in command of the Ameri-
can forces of occupation at Port AZ
Prince, Haiti, he reported yesterday
that the political situation is fast be
soming most complicated.
Factions already have developed in
connection with efforts by the Haitians
to form a new government Twelve
men TO whom a committee in Port au
FRINGE offered the presidency refused
II, and the committee finally decided
In favor of the rebel, DIR. Resalvo Bobo
who is with his meager forces in the
north of Haiti.
In view OF conditions that would
be sure to ensue from the rivalry OF
DR.. Bobo and other aspirants for the
presidency, it is doubtful IL the United
States will permit the choice of a
president at this time. II is certain
that with American forces in occupa.

Admiral Caperton is proceeding to
The Connecticut left Philadelphia yester-
lay with nearly 500 marines on board, and
will pick up 300 more from Norfolk off
the Virginia capes today. The Navy De-
partnent has ordered the hospital ship

Prince.
Admiral Caperton reports he is con-
.nuing the task of disarming the entire
population OF Port au Prince. As there
are more than 10000 people in the city.
II is a big task.
Another element in the situation which
Admiral Caperton regards as dangerous
Is the fact that there are thousands of
IDLE men in the city. The Haitian Con-
struction Company. an American firm
engaged on public works in Port au
Prince, ordinarily employs Loo men. but
ITS operations have been suspended ow-
