u. S. TAKES HAITI
PROTECTORATE
By Treaty Which Was Ratified by the
Senate Late Yesterday This Country
Assumes Well-nigh Full Charge
Of Turbulent Island Republic.

Washington, ID. G., Feb. 29.--The Sem
ate yesterday unanimously ratified the
treaty with Haiti under which the Unit
ed States assumes protectorate over the
turbulent island republic, taking over
control of its finances and police guaran-
teeing its territorial integrity and un-
dertaking to develop its resources. The
treaty already has been approved by the
Haitien congress and its terms virtually
are in operation under the eye of a
strong American marine expedition.
This treaty was negotiated last year
with the DArtiguenave government set
up after marines and bluejackets, under
Rear Admiral Caperton had put down
the revolution which overthrew President
Vilbrun Guillaume. During the preceding
few years Haiti had seen eight presidents
deposed and most of them murdered or
exiled. Guillaume was dragged from the
French legation and killed. The possibil-
ity of European intervention to protect
foreign lives and property and insure the
payment of foreign loans was being dis
cussed when the American forces took
charge of affairs on the island.
The principal articles provide for

THE QUINCY SITUATION.
"Some Slight Difficulties" Remain To Be
Settled.

Forecasting an agreement between the
Quincy granite manufacturers and cut
ters, the Quincy (AIass.l Ledger last
evening had the following to say of the
proposed bill and others;
"The manufacturers have granted the
increase in wages the cutters demanded,
a minimum wage Of S4 a day for eight
hours from March l, 1916, TO March |,
1919, and S425 from March !, 1919, to
March |, 1921.
Definite information as to the few
slight difficulties which remain is not
available but it is said that the principal
stumbling block is the length of time
the agreement is to run.
"A great deal depends on what devel
ops within the next few days since other
unions have reached agreements but will
not sign them completely until they are
able to sign for the same term as the
cutters.
"The blacksmiths have practically Sc
cured all that was asked. Their new

The plant is located on a site just north

tanned in the announcement from Paris
to-day that the bombardment to the
north of the fortress is assuming great

fighting last night seems to have been in
the Woevre district, southeast of the
fortress, where the Germans attacked
and captured the village of Manhuelles.
The French declare that in a counter
attack they regained the western bound
airy of the village which they are still
holding.
The German official statement also
claims the capture of Champion and an
nounces that troops have passed Dippe,
Abacourt and Blanchee.
The German war office also announced
that small armored work northwest of

As Building in High Explo-
sive Plant at Woburn,
Mass, Blew Up
FIRE FOLLOWED
THE DETONATION
Officials of the New England
Manufacturing Co. Deny
Outside Agencies Cause

Wodburn, Mass, Feb. 29.-The plant
of the New England Manufacturing com
pany, which is engaged in making higf
explosives for the entente allies, was
the scene of an explosion carly to-day
which wrecked one building and damaged
another. Fire started and although it
was still smouldering this forenoon, it
was under control and there was no
danger OF spreading to other combustible
property. OF the eight men who were
working on the night shift only one,
Frank II. Cornett, was slightly injured.
The indications to-day, gained from
the statements of the company officials,
including Captain w. f. Mckay of Bos-
ton, the president and from general
inquiry were that the explosion was ac-
cidental and without connection with any
outside agency A rumor that one Of the
guards started, just before the explosion,
to investigate noise which he thought
might have been made by man climb
ing the fence surrounding the buildings,
was the only suggestion of an outside
agency.
An explanation Of the explosion ad-
yanced authoritatively was that certain
elements in the explosive compound
known as trinitroluol failed to fuse when
thrown together in the vat. The result
was a kissing as these several acids
proved Incompatible, a fash of tlames
when unexpected chemical action took
place and, intimately, an explosion which |
demolished the building in which the vat I
was located Another building 100 feet /
away, in which benzol was prepared, was
partly smashed, but the chemicals were |
not affected The shock of the explosion I
was felt for many miles.
The fire was one of several which, to-
yether with minor explosions, have oc-
,urred within six months. In each case
he officials of the company stated they
ound no indication that outside agencies
we're responsible The loss in to-day's T
explosion is estimated by the officials at
$4,000.
The plant was situated in a remote
ection of North Woburn away from the
quarter, but 10 other build
ngs where heavy war orders were being
lied are nearby. Among these struc-
ures are those of the Merrimack Chemi
al company. 50 great was the confusion
following the explosion that
was not known whether there was any
