Expect to Hear From France.
There Is no doubt, in the minds OF
officials here, that the French govern
rnent will be heard from quickly with
regard to the action of the Haitien
mob today in forcing an entrance into
the legation, removing President Sam
and numbering him in front of the le-
cation gate. This Is regarded as one
fof the most serious offenses in the CAL
endar. and one that will require COM
iplete apology and reparation. 1t Is
fully expected that the French govern
ment will bring the matter to the at
tention of the United States at once
with a demand for prompt action by
this Government At the French en-
bassy II was said tonight that no of
fetal advices had yet been received
regarding the outrage.
1t Is the opinion here that were 1t
not for the peculiar position the United
States oCupice In reference TO Carfb-
bean republics, France would herself
promptly Occupy Port an Prince. In
Guiding the customs house and con-
tinue her occupation until the Haitlen
government had made such reparation
as France might thing was neces-
FAIRY, Even with forces Of the United
States ashore I'm Port an Prince.
IL h likely that the French govern
ment will dispatch cruiser TO the
Haitien capital. and place French ma
rines at the French legation as a
measure TO impress the Haitien popu-
lation.
No Government in Haiti.
According 10 official advices there is
no government in Haiti and chaos
a. a he
non1inally in control. but they nave
not yet organized any government,
and 1t has been reported they them
selves are divided into factions at
odds with one another. Admiral Cap
erton has full discretionary authority
10 take whatever action he may think
necessary for the protection of Amer
lean and othe foreign lives and
properties and he probably has as
sumed complete control of the city.
No report has been received by the
Navy Department from Admiral Cap
erton since he landed at Port au
Prince this noon. II is admitted that
he may have had to- do some fight
lag ashore, but this is considered
doubtful. as 1t IN believed even the
Haitiens would be impressed by the
bulk OF the armored CRUISER WASH
inRton In the harhor with her ten-
inch guns commanding all parts of
the city.
Arrived 700 late tn Prevent Killing
According 70 the State Department
reports, had Admiral Caperton arrived
an hour earlier the killing of presi-
dent Sam might have been averted
After the mob had murdered Gull
laume Sam in front of the French le~
CATION, they mutiIated and dismem-
bered his body. The remains were
then mounted on great poles and a
parade began through the town with
these held aIoft before the people,
underway the cruiser Washington ap-
pearesi In the harbor. No Official re-
ports have been received az later date
than that moment, though II is regard
ed as certain that Admiral Caperton
carried out both his instructions and
his announced intention OF landing
and doing whatever the situation re-
CURED.
The Haitien president murdered to-
day is the sixth that Haiti has had In
q little more than two years. Only
one president OF Haiti has ever served
a full term; the others have abdi-
Gated or have been murdered, or
poisoned. or blown up There has
been continuous revolution in the re-
public since President Wilson came
in, and despite hts announcement in
March, 1913. that he would notrecog-
nixe revolutionary governments he
did recognize the first two In Haiti
after this announcement of policy.
Since then recognition has been with
held in the hope that the Haitiens
could thus be brought TO appeal TO
the United States for aid.
