THEY HELPED BYPPOUTE.

Specific Charges Against The Democratic Diplomatic Officials.

MINISTER DOUGLASS WILL INVESTIGATE THE MATTER.

He Will Make a Report to tbe State Department—Scandalous Use of tbe American Navy.

To those who look 011 from the outside, the appointment of a new minister to Hayti is opportune, writes General Boynton (or the Commercial Gazette. The officials of the Cleveland administration seem to have been actively engaged ever since the insurrection against the regular government broke out in that republic, in committing the United States to the cause of the insurgents^ This was done not only by taking part in supplying the rebels with military supplies but in protecting privateers. This was carried so far in the case of the steamer Haytien Republic as to demand and enforce her release, though she was captured when in the active service of the insurgents. In all these things the United States minister and a consul named Goutier were open allies of the rebellious forces.

This condition of affairs seems to have continued, so far as the latitude of these officials is concerned. Presumably under their representations, which have been misrepresentations, our navy has continued to convey steamers from New York loaded with contraband goods through the regular blockade of the government. Some facts received by the last mail from Hayti will show what our minister has been about. Quite recently Admiral Gherardi, now in command of the North Atlantic squadron, went to Port-au-Prince, and on the 10th of April last Admiral Gherardi, being then in said port, John E. W. Thompson, United States minister, in a dispatch to the Haytian secretary of foreign affairs, wrote as follows:

I have the honor to Inform you that the American steamship Caroline Miller Is bow at St. Marc (a port then besieged by Legitime's forces and apparently blockaded) and will leave such port tomorrow evening, and you are requested to Issue an order that her exit will not be Interfered with, should a Haytian war vessel be in that locality. Admiral Gherardi Is willing to convey such order to any commanding officer of the Haytian fleet should he encounter one. Otherwise the United States ship Galena will convoy the above named steamer out of St. Hare. A reply is respectfully requested by 9 o'clock to-morrow at this legation.

This letter, which has been lately published in Haytian newspapers, was an ultimatum which was promptly obeyed. But the most extraordinary feature of this transaction was that the Caroline Miller, which had succeeded in running into the port of St. Marc, escaping the Haytian men-of-war blockading" the port, waB carrying there supplies of various description, and among them contraband of war. The arrival of that ship saved St. Marc from falling into the hands of the Legitime forces by bringing in the neoessary supplies, and as it seems that the Caroline Miller could not leave the port without risk of capture the United States admiral proceeded to Port-au-Prince and Mr. Thompson at once sent his ultimatum. This was a case of flagrant intervention.

The Caroline Miller relieved the besieged city and gave anew lease of life to the Northern insurrection. Admiral Gherardi returned to the United States for a short stay at home. During his absence Captain Kellogg was in command of the Oasippee. In the meantime he conveyed to the same city of St. Marc another American merchantman, the George W. Clyde, which had on her New York manifest a large cargo of arms and ammunitions intended for the Haytian insurgents. This is another act of intervention.

Under the guise of protecting American commerce the United States have been actually assisting and abetting Hyppolite. These acts seem to have been directed by Mr. Thompeon, the American minister, or to have been caused by his representations to the government. As to Thompson, tas office is of great p^unWrjjjJii^intSjj*1/ Much was said in Deoeinberiafctiebout the capture by Haytian gunbbatqof the ship nf William Jones, under command of Captain Collins. The Bhip was taken to Port-au-Prince and she vis released, the government paying $10,000 for illegal seizure, but Collins received only $5,000. It is openly said in the streets of Port-au-Prince that the agent of Collins^ who settled the claim, turned over $2,500 to Mr. Tompson.

And again the Haytian papers are full of another transaction, in which Thompson appears in a very unfavorable light. One Allen, an American citizen, was charged $6,000 for export duties on a cargo of raw goat Bkins. He filed his claim against the Haytian custom house, stating that under the custom laws there was no duty on raw goat skins. Mr. Thompson presented the claim, -and it was acknowledged to be well founded. The government agreed to refund the amount to Allen, and for that purpose $3,000 in cash and $3,000 in government bonds were turned over to Thompeon.

It is stated in Haytian papers, as a matter of fact and upon the authority of Allen, that Thompson retained the said fund and has not accounted for it.

The moet objectionable transaction of the same Thompeon is connected with the settlement of the claim for the Haytian Republic. After the ship was released under the most brutal threats, a claim for indemnity was presented to the Haytian government by John E. W. Thompson, on behalf of the owners of the ship almost under duress the Haytian government consented to pay $125,000. An agreement was drawn accordingly Mr. Thompson enacted that two agreements instead of one should be executed, one for $100,000, another tor $2tV* 000—this latter to remain secret, and the $25,000 to be pud to said Thompson individually—the $100,000 to go to claimants. This was declined, and the whole negotiations broken up. The papers have been communicated to the committee of the legislative assembly at Port-au-Prince, and the facts as stated above are so well-known among the residents there that they were lately stated by a somewhat prominent gentleman from Hayti, then in- this oity, to various persons.

As to Stanislaus Goutier, the consul at Cape Haytien, though he was apparently directed to remain neutral in the conflict, he has openly aided and abetted

the cause of Hyppolite. As eariy as the 11th of October, 1888, It was he who assisted the then revolutionary committee in chartering the Amerioan steamer, Haytien Republic, to carnr troops and ammunition all around the ports Of the island to bring about the insurrection. St. Marc and Gonaives were so oarried by the insurgents.

Later on Goutier,wrote to the state department, then 'under Mr. Bayard: "The Revolutionary committee of the North, have addressed a diplomatic document to all the different national explaining their position, in order that they may be judged impartially. The revolution embraoee two-thirds of Hayti. They make an appeal to the different nations for their rights to be recognised as belligerents. "They have charged J. H. Hawstedt, of New York, a gentleman well versed in Haytian affairs, to present that diplomatic document to the department and to solicit from our government an impartial hearing." Goutier's statement as to the insurgents was a glaring falsehood they nave never occupied over one-third of the territory, and have never been supported by more than onefourth of the people. When the Carondelet, an American merchant steamer, escaped from the port of New York and landed at Cape Haytien, there to be sold and transferred to Hyppolite's organization, Goutier made out the papers.

Afterward, when certain American gunners and seamen enlisted for Hyppolite in New York by the agency of same Hawstedt, as above mentioned, arrived at Port-au-Prince only one of them, named Joubert, consented to serve on the Carondelet, and Mr. Goutier wrote out the agreement between Joubert and the captain of the Carondelet. As to those who declined to serve on the ground that they would not go on board a "piratical ship," Goutier did his utmost to overcome their resistance.

All these facts, which are established beyond possible doubt by documents and statements ooming from moet responsible sources, deserve the attention and investigation which they are now likely to receive upon the arrival of our new minister, Mr. Douglass. He has been in Hayti before, is well known and much respected there, and he will be able to oommunicate the real facts of the situation to our state department. It is evident that the relief of Mr. Cleveland's officials has not been begun a moment too soon.

ANEW YOEK 8TKAMKB CAPTPEHD. Legitime Forced to Release Her and Pay $5,000 Indemnity.

WASHINGTON, June 30.—The Poet this morning prints the following: "The cret of the cablegram from Hayti, which caused such a oom motion in the navy and state departments a fortnight ago, and sent Rear Admiral Gherardi off poste haste, with the Kearearge, to Port-au-Prince, has at last been discovered. A steamer arrived in New York last Wednesday from Hayti, with news that the Clyde steamer Ozama, owned in New York, had been captared by the Haytien gun boat Lt Donzeand the corvette Deeealinee and held for three houro. Captain Kellogg, of the United States steamship Oaipiee, demanded her immediate release. legitime refused to let her go, except umtar certain conditions. Captain Kellogg sent word to Legitime that unless the steamer was released within five hours and $5,000 indemnity paid by Legitime, the Osaipee would bombard the city. Legitime paid the money and released the Ozama and that was all there was of it. But the cablegram which raised the disturbance was one from Captain Kellogg to Secretarv Tracy, announcing that Lagitime had captured the New York steamer. The news was sufficient to stir up the navy and state departments and the officials of the latter thought it necessary to keep the news a secret."

The publication was sent to Walker Blaine this evening with a request to know if it were true. He replied:

can't say anything upon this Bubject." NEW YOKK, June 30.—The steamer Ozama from Gonaives June 24th, with merchandise and passengers, arrived at the bar at 9:20 p. m. She brings the following account of the state of affairs at Gouaivee when she sailed: Hyppolite was marching his men to Port-Aii-Prince and expects to have 12,000 men before that city by July 6th. The south has risen and sent to Hyppolite asking that arms and ammunition be sent them, promising to march on Port-Au-Prince in conjunction with his troops. W

Nothing Haw Developed Yesterday—The Part of the Saturday Mall In It. ST. LOUIS, June 30.—There is abso

lutely nothing new in the Anna Weiss murder case. All sorts of theories and clues are being run down, but the murderer is as far away from arrest ae ever. The only development of interest is additional testimony showing the intimacy existing between the gambler, Wm. McClair, and the murdered girl.

The Globe-Democrat of yeeterdaysays: "It will be remembered that a bundle of lady'a underwear, wrapped in a copy of the Terre Haute Mail, was found lying near the body of the murdered girl on Union avenue. A Globe-Democrat reporter, hoping that this small fact might lead to an available clew to the great mystery, set to work yesterday to see what developmente a thorough inveatigation on thie point would produce. Through a private source, perfectly reliable, the reporter was enabled to secure a full list of the names of all the paid subscribers of the Mail who reside in St. Louis, but, as yet, nothing has developed of any oonsequenoe on this point But it is expected that some light will be thrown on the mystery to-day through this source. The copy of the Mail found near the body of the girl may have been purchased of a train boy, however, and not have been in poesession of a paid subscriber."

TERRE HAUTE, INB

Remarkable Increase of Industrie in the Sunny South This --U a

IT PASSES THE PHENOMENAL INCREASE OF

1888.

Mill Men are Signing tbe Scale of the Amalgamated Association —Puddlera' Pay Increased.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn^ Jnne 30.—The Tradesman, of July 1st, will publish a statement showing the industrial situation in the South, as exhibited by the number of .new industries established during the last three months. It shows that during the pest quarter 1,021 new induatriee have been established, sgainst 690 in the previous quarter. There were 1,711 new enterprises begun during the first six months of 1889, against 1,290 for the corresponding period of the previous year, showing that the South is going ahead at a more rapid-rate than ever before. What ia more rignificiint, says the Tradesman, ia the fact that the induatriee aee of a more eubetantial Character and ia on a much better basis than in previoua years. The speculative fever has been in a large measure repressed and the induatriee are now being established more in oonaequence of actual reeooroee ana legitimate enterprises than before^ The moet noticeable feature of the pest three months has been the organization of fifty-one new cotton and woolen mills, against thirty-five in the previous quarter. Georgia leeds with ten liew mills. North Carolina fallowing with eight. Fifty-two foundriee and machine abops ware organized, a gain of seven over the previous quarter. Alabama leads in this particular industry with nine new works. Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky follow with seven each. Eighty-two mining and quarrying oompaniee were organized, of which seventeen were in Kentucky, against sixty-one in the previous quarter. The number of railroad companiee organized ehows a gain of almost 100 per cent the number for the past quarter being 130 against sixty-five during the previous quarter. Texas and Alabama lead in this respect with twenty-two and twenty reepeetively. Two hundred wad seven wood-working eetablishmente were organized against 130 in the previous quarter. Other induatriee established in the lest three months were seven blast furnaces, fortysix oil mills, sixteen in South Carolina eleven potteriee and three rolling mille.

THE AMALGAMATED SCALE*

It Is Del OK Generally Signed by the Iron MIlls—Carnegie's Steel Works Closed PITTSBURG, June 30.—It can be safely

said that there will be no strike in the iron mille over the wage question this year. The officials of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers were notified that sixteen firms had '.signed the scale. A number of others have signified their intention of signing as soon as necessary' repairs at their plants have been made, and within a month it ia thought all the union mills in the Country will be in operation under the new scale. The firms signing were the New Albany. Structural works, pt New Albany, Ind. Mahoning Valley ironworks, of Youngstown, O. Riverside iron and steel company, of Cipcinnat* Maumee rolling-mill, of Toledo P. L. Kim-, berly, of Greenville, Pa. t3 Elba iron and belt company, of Pitts burg Brown, Bonnell A Co-,

Summer Bros. & Co., of Strutners, Ohio, and,Carnegie's Twenty-ninth and Thirty-third street mills of this city. The- latter employs nearly five thousand men

THE CARNKU1B STRIKE. *1

It Was Declared On at a Meeting of the Hen Yesterday. PITTSBURG, June 30.—The strike at

the great steel plant of Carnegie A Co., against the scale proposed by the firm, was declared on at a meeting of Amalgamated workmen to-day. To-morrow the works will be idle in all departments. It is the intention of the company to devote the next two weeks to necessary repairs about the mill, and after they are completed, if the men still persist in refusing to sign the scale, an attempt will be made to operate the plant with new workmen. The strike will affect about twenty-four hundred men. Of thie number 1,500 are members of the Amalgamated association, and the balance laborers and machinists. The latter will be organized in an amalgamated lpdge as soon as the strike is fairly on. The fight promisee to be bitter and long-drawn-out, as both sides are determined. It is stated that the Amalgamated association will aid the strikers for two years, if necessary. The ecale proposed by the firm reduces wagee about fifteen per cent., but falls heavieet upon the men receiving the higheet wages.

Pnddlers' Wages Advanced. BEADING, Pa^ June 30.—Commencing

to-morrow a number of rolling mill fir ma in the Sohuylkill valley will advance the wagee of puddlers from $3 to 93.25

Eoa.

ton. Among these firms are Potto and the Glasgow iron works at Pottstown, and firms at Pottsville and other pieces. Three dollars was the lowest figure at which puddlere have worked eince 1873, and thie advance in wages is due to the bettor tone prevailing in the iron market.

Prep«rstloB« (or the Selllvan-KllnUa Battle—A Large Atteadanee. NEW ONIIEANS. June 30.—This hes

been a very quiet day in prize-fighting circlea.
