POPE MAKES NEW
 APPEAL FOR PEACE
Pontiff Addresses Letter to Heads Of Belligerent Nations Asking sup-
 port to End War.

London, July 31.-The Rome cor respondent of Reuters Telegram company says that in last nights is- sue of the Observatore Romano, off, cial organ of the Vatican, there lp- pears a, letter addressed by Pope Ben Eedict to the heads of the belligerent countries, inviting all friends of peace to unite with him in his desire to .er- minate the war The letter says:
 Tt is our firm determination to de- vote every activity to a reconciliation sof the people now engaged in this featricidal struggle. 1t must not be said that this conflict cannot be set- tied without armed violence. Put away mutual desire for destruction and reflect that nations do not die: If humiliated and oppressed they pre- pare to retaliate by transmitting from generation to generation hatred and a desire for revenge.
 Why should not direct or an in> direct exchange of views be initiated in an endeavor, if possible, to arrange aspirations so that all should be con tent This is our cry for peace, and we invite all friends of peace to unite with us in our desire to terminate this war and establish an empire of right, resolving henceforth to solve differ ences. not by the sword, but by equi- ty and justice.
 We impart our apostolic benedic- ton also to those not yet belonging to the Roman Churc.''

 tim of Snipers

Washington, July 31.-Two Ameri- can bluejackets, enc of them from Brooklyn were killed during at- upon the American forces now in oc- cupation of Port Au Prince
 Admiral Caperton reported this to the Navy Department yesterday. He added that the attack was easily re- pulsed and that there is no cause for alarm as to, the safety of the Ameri- cn forces or foreign residents of Port Au Prince.
 500 More Marines.
 As a result of this attack, dis closing the seriousness of the situa- tion with which Admiral Caperton is dealing, 500 more marines are being sent to him A part of this force will leave Philadelphia on board the bat. tleship Connecticut and the remainder will be made up of marine detach- ments from Norfolk, which will be picked up by the Connecticut off the, Virginia Capes tomorrow.
 Admiral Caperton has assumed fuli military control of Port Au. Prince and constitutes the onIy government of recognized authority in the Hai. tian capital at this time. A local com mittee of safety organized by the Haitiav5 no longer figures in the sit- uation because of it's attempts to ili- terfere with Admiral Caperton's mea- sures.
 Who the Dead Are
 The dead as a result of Thursday nights attack on the town are:
 Seaman William Gompers; next of kin. Mrs Sophie Gompers. 1o7 Stock ton street, Brooklyn.

Accordingly at 5 o'clock in the after noon he disposed all his forces to meet any attack, placing the majority around the edge of the city.
 The attack came at 8 o'clock.

tian soldiers who may have fled into the brush with the arrival of the American forces.
 Meantime the State Department has not yet reached a decision as to a programme to be pursued in Haiti beyond the needs of the immediate situation. The decision in this regard is already largely in President Will sons hands, though the Department of States has not fully completed it's consideration of the situation and is recommendations.
 U. s. Must Act Soon.
 It is the unanimous opinion of all who have had any connection with Haitian affairs. officially or other wise, chat the moment has come for vigorous action by the United States looking to the ending of the intoler- able conditions which have been per- mitted to prevail in the negro re- public. The several commissions sent to Haiti in the last two years have all returned with the conviction that nothing short of active American in- tervention will ever bring the coun- try under such control by the United States as is necessary to maintain there stable government which shall meet all it's international obligations and not waste it's funds in corruption and expenditures for large military forces with which to put down re- current revolutions,
 Paul Fuller, Jr., recently submftt ed an exhaustive report on the sub- ject, having been sent by former Se- cretary Bryan 10 renew the attempt to negotiate treaty with the Haitians which would give the United States the necessary control over the coun- ry to insure peace and financial in- tegrity. He concluded that interven- tion was necessary to achieve this purpose. It is understood that he will be consulted by the State Department again in connection with its handling of the present situation.
 Forces to Remain.
 For the present it is the intention to keep Admiral Caperton in Haiti and to supply him with whatever forces he deems necessary for the preservation of order and for protect ing all foreign life and property. There is no question about his re- ict&AAA4R tAAOA WiSi LuS AulSIlCdu forces in possession of Port Au Prince until some sort of a govern ment either American or Haitian, is established and until such govern granted to France and Santo Domingo reparation, for the violation of their legations by the Haitian mobs, Nell their is it doubted here that the American forces will remain until an arrangement has been effected be- tween the Haitians and the United States, though how far reaching such an arrangement may be is still wholly a matter of uncertainty
 Admiral Caperton reported yes terday that he had placed Capt B. L. Beach at Port Au Prince. Col E. k Cole, who will be in command of the 500 marines en route to Haiti on the Connecticut, will take command as- hore, under the direction of Admiral Caperton, on his arrival
 The situation at Cape Haitian con tinues, unsettled. Accordingly the Navy Department has despatched the cruiser Nashville from Santo Domin- go City to Cape Haitien, where it will relieve the naval yacht Eagle. the only American war vessel now in that port.
