Washington, June 27.-Conditions In
Hayti have become so turbulent that
the United States government, not
withstanding the attention demanded
by its relations with European bellig-
erents, Is giving serious consideration
to the formulation OF an entirely new
policy toward the little island republic.
Paul Fuller, jr., who was sent by
President Wilson TO Hayi with plenary
powers 10 negotiate a treaty placing
the collection Of customs duties in
that country under the control Of the
American government, SIS was donc
some time ago by the Dominican Re-
public. has submitted a long report.
This shows that the Hsytian govern
ment did not want 70 enter into such
2 treaty, but made counter proposals
which are not regarded as likely to
lead 20 a settlement Of disturbances
on the island.
To Await Military Outcome.
Before President Wilson left for
Cornish he talked with Secretary Lam
sing about the situation. and it was
determined for the next week or two
% await the outcome Of the military
situation in the vicinity Of Cape Hay
ten. officials think the latest revolu-
.ionary movement under DR.. Bobo is
not strong enough to overthrow the
existing government President Sam
has been recognized by France, Italy
and Germany. but the United States
has been Withholding recognition until
some arrangement could be made which
would stabilize conditions.
The situation at Cape Haytien is
very threatening at present. French
marines have been landed there, and
Rear Admiral Caperton is on his way
from Vera Cruz with 700 bluejackets
and marines on the armored cruiser
Washington TO relieve them and pre-
serve order. The Washington is due
70 arrive at Cape Hsytien next Thurs
day.
Commission Urges Action.
Should the revolutionary movement
prove unsuccessful, the intention OF the
United States is to uphold President
Sam and accord him recognition II an
understanding can be reached on the
ouestion of the country's finances. The
commission sent recently by President
Wilson 10 Hayti, headed by ex-Gov-
Aernor Fort, it became known to-day,
nook a pessimistic view Of the situation.
While they did not specifcally recon-
mend armed Intervention, they gave
the impression that II was almost nope
less 10 expect an orderly government
10 be established without some drastic
action on the part Of the United States.
This report pointed out that the Re
public of Hayti has been in constant
revolution since 1908, no less than
eight Presidents having been eleeteo
and overthrow in that time. The
financial condition Of the country was
found deplorable, and the government
Of President Sam was declared to be
tottsring for the want Of funds.

such a convincing point against the
starvation stories. In view of the re-
port made to him by the officers when
they returned, Admiral Howard ex..
pressed the opinion that the danger Of
raid had terminated. The admiral
pointed out that the rainy season was
coming on, and in view of this, the fact
that the crops had been harvested and
the presence of the Mexican troops, he
thought the danger had passed.
While no official statemett was made
at the Navy Department, it is believed
that Admiral Howard will be orGeret
back to San Diego with the Colorado.

permitting erection on state lands of

AuStrianS Use Trick
To Cross DunaieC

Berlin, May Via London).- Ac-
cording to dispatches received here
from the Galician front, the Austrians
crossed the Dunajec near its conhu-
ence with the Nistula, although the
Russians were strongly protected Re
hind a dixie on the eastern bank. The
Austrians, behind a dixie on the west
shore, advanced pOntOons by night,
cutting through the dixie and depositing
the pontoons among high reeds along
the shore. They relied and resodded
the cut each night. In this way a
sufficient number of pontoons was con-
cealed in three nights for effecting 4
crossing of the river. When these
preparations had been COMPLETED a
terrific artillery bombardment enabled
the Austrians to bridge the stream
with comparatively little loss.
The Austro-German attack lear Cor
lice is described as an unparalleled
artillery performance. The Russians
believed their position to be absolutely
impregnable. The artillery of the
allies, from AZ centimetres down, so
completely overwhelmed the Russians,
however, that the Austro-German in
fantry was able to take the opposing
positions at the first rush.
The Russians still hold one strong
position IN a range of hills more than
1000 feet high, near Tuchow.

FRENCH'S REWARD
TO Be A DUKEDOM
If Allies Triumph He Will
Also Get Gran. of
100000.
from a Special Correspondent o, The Tribuns.l


London, May 6-Those who hold
the chief commands IN the British navy
and army are vitaiiy concerned in the
achievement of a complete and abso-
Lutte triumph over Germany this year.
Such an event will mean a dukedom
for General Frencn and cash pay
ment OF 100000. This was recently
decided by the Cabinet and approved
by the King.
Wellington and Marlborough are the
two ducal houses founded by English
generals, and the dukedoms conferred on
them Constitute a natural and obvious
precedent for raising General French
to the highest degree in the peerage.
General French would be more than
human if the thor ght of the great re-
ward that a complete triumph for the
Allied armies will bring to him does not
sometimes occupy his mind, but be-
tween him and the highest dignity that
his King can confer and substantial
fortune (and be it remembered that the
British commander-in- chief is not we'll
to-do) stands foe that ten months of
war leaves as strong and perhaps
stronger than at the outbreak of hos
tiiities.
The next great reward Of the war in
the event of a complete triumph for the
Allies will, Of course, fall TO Admiral
Jellicoe. If the war ends without .
general naval engagement between the
English and German fleets, Admiral
Jellicoe will be created a viscount and
receive a money payment of $4,000.
But in the event of great naval en-
gagement resulting in the triumph Of
the English feet an earldom would GER
tainly be conferred on him and @ cash
payment of 100000.
Lord Kitchener would go up step in
the peerage if the Allies triumph, but
however the war results the Secretary
for War will receive grant of 10000
at The end of it. This was settled when
Lord Kitchener went to the War Office.
In addition to these rewards 81 ,000,-
00) has been earmarked for money pay
ments to admirals and other officers
who have performed special services.
A complete triumph this year there
fore for the allied army over Germany
means for all officers in the British
navy and army holding commands of
any sort of importance honor and fort
une.
But the rewards of war are yet in
the balance. Should the conflict drag out
two wears and end in a draw, no titles
would be granted and tn money pay
meats would be ct down TO allow
ances to General French, admiral Jel-
li,oe and a few other officers. These
all wances would be merely sufficient
TO cover certain personal expenses that
these officers have % meet when on
active service.
To several officers who are far from
well-to-do a draw would mean fnan-
cial ruin. There are several well known
married officers who are maintaining
expensive establishments in London in
expectation Of the reward. that the
war will bring them. They are already
heavily in debt, and should the war end
without the anticipated rewards they
will he involved In absolute ruin.

WANTS BRITISH REPRISAl
Commons to Consider Use OF
Gas Against Germans.

London, May 6.-The suggestion that
Great Britain adopt measures in re

by the Germans took concrete form to-
Gay. Joseph King. representing the
North district of Somerset in the
House Of Commons. announced his in
tention of introducing a resolution on
this subject on Tuesday.
The resolution sets forth that this
House agrees TO such measure of re-
taliation as is essential to prevent sue
cess attaching to such gross and un-
paralleled violation Of the rules OF
war; subject, however. to the condi-
ton that in the preparation of any gas
used by his majesty's military forces
the utmost regard be paid to the die
tates of humanity"

MEN TURN BLACK
BY POISON GASES
British Government Con-
siders ACCESSIBILITY of
Retaliating in Kind.
rBy Cable to The Tibunel

London, May "A British officer
who visited q hospital where. some OF
the victims of German asphyXiating
gas were being attended writes:
I'VE had no difficulty in finding out
in which ward the men were, as the
noise Of the poor devils trying to get
their breath was sufficient TO direct us.
They were all more or less in sitting
position, propped up. Their faces, arms
and hands were of a shiny gray black
color, with mouths open and leaden,
glazed eyes. it was most appalling
sight, all these poor black faces strug-
Cling, struggling for life. There is
practically nothing 10 be done for them
except TO give them salt and water TO
try TO make them sick. The effect of
the gases is - fill lungs with watery
frothy matter, which gradually in
creases and rises till 1t fills the whole
lungs and comes up to the mouth.
Then they die 1t IS sutfocation, slow
drowning, taking, in some cases, one
or two days. 1t iswithout doubt a
most awful form Of scientific torture
The British Cabinet is now consid-
erlug whether the Allies should en-
ploy poisonous gases against the Ger
mans, according to "The Daily Chron-
icle," which edtorially argues that as
"a new and formidable weapon has been
introduced into warfare, we must fight
gases with gases and do so with the
least possible delay. We must arm our
front with equipment at least as deadly
as the German gas equipment, and, if
possible, deadlier. This is not a matter
to stand arguing about and posing
pros and cons, whether in Parliament
or elsewhere. In justice to our own
soldiers we need to act, and act
promptly"

BRITISH IN FRANCE
$4,000 STRONG
French Economist Thinks Lloyd
Georges Estimate of 100000
Men Is Exaggerated.
IBy Cable to The tribune ]

Paris, May 6.--An interesting cal
culation OF the approximate strength
of the British forces IN France appears
in "L'Economiste Francois" from the
pen Of Paul Leroy BeaulIeu. the famous
economist and statesman. He takes
Mr.. Lloyd Georges statement that the
British forces now abroad are equiv
alent TO thirty-six divisions.
Some French newspapers" he says.
"have supposed that a British division
numbers 10000 men, and that the to-
tai in question is, therefore, 100000
men. This figure is, in my opinion,
exaggerated. and it would be nearer
the truth to give $4,000 men TO a
division, the more so as this figure fits
in with the declaration of Lord Kitch-
ener, who spoke of an average of 80
900 men being sent each week to the
Continent. At $4,000 men a division
we may reckon that the thirty-six Eng
lish divisions IN France and Belgium
number about $4,000, and by far the
greater part of these are not at the
front.
III the British electives in France
have risen TO $4,000 or 100000 men.
and still more if they have reached
the higher figure, about two-thirds OF
them must needs be still in the second
line or in camps"

Eastern France at 50, 900.

London, May 6-The British have
driven the Germans from more of tho
trenches the invaders captured on Hill
GO, southeast Of Ypres, according to
War Office report issued tonight. Ber-
lin, however, claims that the Germans
are making progress at this point. Des-
perate fighting is in progress on this
sector Of the line.
There are reports that the Germans
are about to make another determined
effort to take Ypres. which is consid-
cred the key to the French coast ports.
Other German CLAIMS relate to sue
cesses in the Woevre, where, the Ger
mans say, in an attack along the
northern side of the st. Mihiel wedge
they took upward Of two thousand
prisoners, and that they repulsed
French attacks on the southern section
Of the wedge near Flirey. This, as
usual during the !sst few weeks, en-
tirely disagrees WITH the French &C
count Of the actions.
In addition TO their usual daily bull
letins, the French War Office to-day
issued a long statement contradictlnG
in detail the German claims Of sue
cessos during the last two weeks. This
statement concludes:
ITO sum up: During the last fifteen
days the enemy has attempted heavy
offensive, which we speedily broke
down. The total Of the German losses
in the heights of the Mouse, in the
Woevre and the VosCes has seen more
than $4,000. At no part nave they
broken through our line. They Rave
taken no important position from us:
They have allowed half dozen Of
their finest regiments to be dccimated."
The Daily News" in an editorial
says the position of the British at
Ypres is again critical, owing TO the
success Of "a new method of frightful-
ness adopted by the Germans in poison
ing the air" The salient has become
perilously narrow, the article asserts,
and it would cause little surprise if it
were found necessary TO sacrifice 1t
and readjust the line west of the
town.

London, May 6.-The threatened re
volt Of an important section Of The
ministerialists Irish Nationalists
and the Independent Irish Nationalist
who for the first time in many moons
Joined forces to-day to oppose the new
liquor taxes proposed by David Lloyd
George, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
forced the government to postpone
until next week the second reading Of
the bill embodying the Caancellor's
plan.
The necessity for expeditions action
was insisted on not OILY by Mr.. Lloyd
George, but by Premier Asquith him
self. though without avail. The lrlSh
malcontents wished in particular for an
assurance that the government had de-
cidcd to abandon the supertaXes.
Mr.. LLOYD George announced that ms
negotiations with the liquor interests
we're making good progress, and that
he hoped an arrangement satisfactory
to all parties would be reached "lthlh
twenty-four hours.
A concrete example OF the effect OF
drink on work is given in the following
dispatch from Birmingham to THE
Evening News:
1.-TWO slackers appeared before the
Birmingham stipendiary magistrate
to-day when casters employed by the
Fxtruded Metal Company, Ltd, Of
Aston, near Birmingham, were charged
with neglecting government work. The
firm claimed $50 damages from Thomas
Walker and S35 from the other man,
Brown. The prosecution said the hrm
had sought the assistance of the police
in an endeavor to get these men to
work regularly. Owing to their absence
the output was reduced five tons.
"The foreman of the foundry said
the men earned $1,000 week when
working ordinary hours, while if they
worked overtime they could earn $3.50
weekly. He estimated that the mems
neglect resulted in the firms losing
$50.
"a police inspector said he found
Walker under the influence of drink in
a licensed house on one of the days
defendant was absent. In Browns case.
the police stated he had not been at
home during the days when he was
away from the works. Walker COM
planned that the casting pots were
faulty, and Brown said he was i'll.
"The stipendiary magistrate, fining
Walker S35, with costs, said drink was
the cause of the trouble. Brown was
fined SIS, with costs"
