WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-The United
States has decided to take over the
affairs of Hayti and administer them
for the benefit of the people OF that
republic for period OF at least ten
years. This Government has grown
tired of the constant disorder in Hayti
and has ntervened to the end that per-
manent order shall be restored.
II has proposed convention TO the
new Government OF the republic under
which the United States shall take
charge of the custom houses of the
republic and administer Haytis finances
under an American receiver-generala and
American employees In other words,
the United States will establish a fnan-
cial protectorate over Hayti similar to
that now exercised in Santo Domingo.
1t Is understood that the new Haytian
Government headed by President
D'Artguenave. who was inducted into
office shortly after the arrival OF the
American forces in Hayti. Is entirely
agreeable to the arrangement The
treaty will be opposed to the point OF
armed activity by the followers OF DR.
Rosalvo Bobo. the deposed Haytian
leader Bobo is an enemy OF the United
states ana DltltIly " NV
Artiguenave Government.
To strengthen Forces.
According to advices from Port au
I Prince the terms of the proposed treaty
were made public there to-day. Antici-
i pating trouble az result OF the dis
3 closure that the treaty is under consid-
Grafton by President 'Artiguenave, with
] the probability that the new government
! will accept IT, the United States is about
/ to strengthen its forces in Haytiaf
| waters.
The proposed Haytian treaty cannot
/ become effective until ratified by the
I United States Senate, following its APP
proval by the Haytian Government
Meantime. the United States forces
will take over all the custom houses II
the country. The action OF the Admin
istration in Intervening In Hayti Is
prompted partly by desire to prevent
any European Power from gaining 9
/ foothold there.
The firm stand taken by the Admin
istration in dealing with the Haytier
situation is believed TO indicate
a purpose on the part OF President VII
son and his advisers TO move will
greater determination TO maintain orde
in all the Caribbean republics.
The treaty with Hayti will provide
for the withholding of a portion OF thu
customs by the United States agents. Il

Haytian debt.

command in Hayt about 200 blue
