LATE TELEGRAPH|C NEWS NOTES
Record Of the Principal Happenings of the World

WASHINGTON, Aug. General
Bobo, the revoluntionist leader of the
black republic, who was made presi-
dent when the late Guillaume was ass
assinated by rebels, resigned his office
today, after a conference with Ad-
miral Caperton of the United Safes
Navy, who is in command of the
American forces trying to restore Or
der in Hayti. Bobo ordered all his gen.
rails to follow his eXampel, requested
them to accede to the demands of the
United States officials, as such a
course would be for the best interests
of the country. The revolutionary
generals have all been ordered by
Bobo to surrender their arms, and re-
turn to their peaceful occupations.
Both Bobo and Bourand, another presi-
dental candidate, have promised their
aid to Admiral Caperton in his efforts
preserve order
WASHINGTON, Aug. General
Carranza has cabled his agents in this
city that the Brazilian minister had
left the Mexican capital, and had been
given safe conduct to Vera Cruz. The
Brazilian diplomat was taking the first
steamer out of the country, because as
Carranza said, he had learned that
Carranza was preparing to expel him,
on the ground that he was really
representing the interests of the Unit
ed States in Mexico rather than those
of his own country. Senior Ortego,
the minister from Guatemala, was ex-
PEELED by Carraza for similar reasons.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9-The raising of
the overturned steamship Eastland
was commenced here today. The rails.
ing is under the direction of the Blu
reau of Commerce and Labor, and it
is expected that the remainder of the

the hulk is brought to the surface, so
that the divers can explore the insides
