Mr. N.B. Walker has been a resident of Hayti ' for the greater portion of the past thirteen years. He has seen many revolutions and This few | changes of government on that island. He was tau Prince during the recent unhappy difficulty which commenced on Corpus Christi | and was in progress at the time he left to come on the night of the Ist of June. Mr. Walker is spending « few days in this city and last might he talked interestingly to » an reporter. “It is not right,” said he, belittle the movement again say that th “to attempt to Hyppolite. To occurrences which took place dur- | ing the last four days I was in Port au Prince were the resalt of a mild riot, which was kly suppressed, is either to willfully mis- repr: the utmost ignorance of them. For time the feeling against Hyppolite growing. He has never been a favorite with the better class of the people, the educated class, for he ix not a man of any particular education or refinement himeelf. In the revolu- tion which ended in the overthrow of Legitime and the placing of Hyppolite in power, the battles of the latter were won by Gen. Mont- so that the president has not even the Jo of military glory to surround him. AT CORPUS CURISTI. “The culmination of the discontent was on Corpus Christi. Hyppolite and hie guard had gone to church and during the service an came in and whiepered something to him. ‘The appearance of the aide naturally caused @ stir among the congregation, but as Hyppolite waived bim away and he retired there was no commotion then. Slowly another aide and thea another entered the church and held whispered communication with the president, and the congregation became greatly alarmed, The; w something had happened, but, of course, were ignorant of the exact facta. Women sereamed and fainted and began to leave the church. Finally Hyppolite aud his escort left the church and then it was known that the insurgents had seized the arsenal. ilyppolite and his guard went through the sirrets and ordered all the houses to throw open their doors. This was to search for Gen. Sully, wo is wt the head of the uprising and whom they vainly tried to capture. A CASE OF BRUTALITY. “To show the bratality of Hyppolite I want to mention the ease of M. Regaud. He was of French extraction and had claimed the protec- tion of the French government, which had nized his claim. The Haytian govern- however, disputed his right to shield If under’ the tag of France and his status was in dispute. As the president and bis guards were riding by the house of Regaud the latter and his wife and a young nephew were sitting on the veranda.

Kegaud, who had be- too nervous to remain at bome, and, lus hands, he told his aunt that it ; his uncle had been asassinated, Some oue overheard his remark and wax repeated to Hyppoilte, who sent for the young man and usked him if he said that his uncle had been nesassinated. rugged bis shoulders and said that he had never Gone anything against the Hyppolite ad- ministration. “Ibe question was repeated with a similar answer, and then this young man was taken out and shot. It was only after grent nat the friends of M. Itegaud could get a permit to bury his body, and then they were not allowed to take anything from his clothing or to cut off even a lock of his heir to give to bis wider THE NUMBER KILLED. “How many were killed up to the time you ' asked Tux Stan reporter. it was estima d that from one to two nndred were killed by Hyppolite’s order. A Haytian who was on the steamer with me when T came home raid he thought that estimate too high, and that he could ouly enumerate sixty that he knew had been shot. But it seems to me that if mxty could be actu named many others must have sh: the same fate.

First, there is Foachard, who. was minister of finance and wrce under the Salomor. administration. I don't know that he stands the best chance for election; in fact, I think he docs not, but I mention him first because kis name occurs to Mont Plant, of whom I have spoken the one to whom Hyppolite owes his access, is likely to siand a good show for election. When Hyppolite first became president Mont Plant was made minister of war, and retain tion until he had amassed sufficient wealth to retire. He now says he has all the money he wants, and does not care to again enter politics, but he is looked upon us a very possible successor to the presidency when a vacaney shall occur. Then there is Manigat, who was one of the ministers of the Salomon regime, holding the position of secretary of the interior. He is now an exile, having been such since the 2d of June, 1888. He has quite a following, and some bet’ have al- ready been made that he will be the next presi- dent. Gen. Piquant and Baron Canol are also spoken of. The latter was formerly president of the republic and abdicated in favor of Salo- mon, but he was not satistied with that admin- istration and he led the insurrection that |cansed the downfall of Salomon and placed | Legitime in power. LEGITIME MAY RETURN. “And speaking of Legitime, it ie by no means improbable that he may return to power. He is greatly thought of by the best people in the republic. He is an educated man himself and }has naturaliy the support of the wealthy and refined classes. He is essentially a man of peace, and it is believed by his adherents that if he should return to power he would inaugu- Tate an extensive system of internal improve- ments and endeavor to benetit and elevate his peop “is there always going to be this continual turmoil and unsettled condition?” “It looks so.

Demolition of a Structure in Which Some Famous Frigates Wore Born. The demolition of the west ship house at the navy yard has been completed. It was the odd- looking yellow-painted structure that stood at the southwest corner of the yard. For over half a century it has been a familiar object to river faring folk and to the people who live south of the Eastern branch. Itat one time housed building slip No. 4. Since the launch of the junior Nipsic on June 11, 1878, it had not been used for the purposes for which designed, but as a store for nautical Junk. Between 1878 and 1864 there was no case of construction or repair requiring the use of this ship house, and in the latter year, on rec- ommendation of the gun fotindry board, the Washington navy yard was converted into an ordnance foundry. The removal of the build- ing was determined on last winter. ‘he raanner of tearing it down was unique. The roof tin was ripped off and the ridge pole sawed through at a point about thirty-five feet west of the east cornice. Carpenters, with ordinary hand saws, then cut through the roof from the ridge to ‘the sides and down to the ground, thus severing the easternmost thirty- ve fect from the remainder of the building. This operation consumed two days. A heavy hemp cable was next mado fast” to a deck cleat affixed to the roof of the severed portion and lashed round a ship's capstan on the ground about feet east of the foundation, This capstan was secured by wire cables, splashed and caught on piles. The capstan bare were inserted, hand power applied, the cable straightend, and the section creaked and fell. A cloud of dust and 4 shower of splinters followed. The crash was heard by people in the vouthernmost precinots of the District and in Maryland. SAWED INTO SECTIONS. ‘The ship house was sawed into ten sections and on cach alternate day one was pulled away. Commander F. W. Dickens superintended and Foreman T. C. Welling supervised the work. The building was 306 fect long, 97 feet wide, 98 feet high at the egst end and 108 feet at the west end. grade. ; Workmen are engaged in recovering such tim- ber as may be of use to the navy. The residue will be auctioned. ‘The sound and heavy oak beams will be used for target backing at the Indian Head proving grounds. ‘The history of the ship house is intimately associated with that of the American navy. In it and in the building slip which it housed were built or repaired many ships-of-the-line, frigates and sloops that in the days of wooden war craft made our naval annals bright. The erection of the ship house aute- dates the memory of the oldest employe. Several of the old residents of East Washing- ton, among them Col. Tait and Mr. Wm. Tal- bert, can recollect it m course of construction, but are not able to recall the precise date. The bureau of yards and docks of the Navy De- partment has no record of it because the bu- Teaus were not created till 1842. Prior to that time the navy commissioners had authority. The date of building would probably be found by wading through the reports of Capt. Thos. ey, commandant from January 22, 1800, to ‘ebrna }. 1829 ‘The plan of the navy yard as surveyed by B. H. Latrobe, architect and surveyor of the pub- lic buildings of the United States at Washing- ton, contemplated four building slips. Three were to open to the south and’ intersect the channel of the Eastern branch at right angles. ‘The westernmost slip was not parallel to the others, but opened in a direction very few points sonth of west, #0 as to strike the channel obliquely and lessen the danger of hulls run- ning on the flats after going off the ways. OLD FRIGATES BUILT THERE. William Marbury of Annapolis was, on thi 23d of May, 1799,appointed by Secretary Benja- min Stoddert as naval agent for the District of Columbia. He was authorized to contract for materials for building at the Washington yard seventy-four-gun ships for which Cangress had, on the 25th of the preceding propriated $1,000,000. “Historian of the yard Hibben fails to make further men- tion of this ship. Wasp was built in the west slip in 1506 and the unlucky Chesapeake was overhauled here a little while before is discrepancy was due to the uneven All that now Temains is a timber heap. the Leopard incident. In 1806 three of the os. 1, 4 and 10, appropriated for the year before were launched. Soon after the famous frigates President, York and Essex and the brig Syren and were overhauled and the west slip kept busy. In 1808 the Preble modei gun boats Nos. 23 and 70 to 78, inclusive, were launche: sumed that a fair percentage of them went out froin the west slip. In 1811 the frigate Con- gress and the schooner Enterprise were rebuilt. In 1812 the gun boat Scorpion went off and atthe burning of the navy yard in August, 1814, the good ship Columbia went up in smoke while on the stocks. ‘There was no housed slip at the yard in 1814, else it would be mentioned in Commandant ‘Tingey’s report of losses. The seventy-four- un ship Columbus and the frigate Potomac, of Yorty-four guns, went down the ways in 1819 and the schooner Shark in 182i. ‘The report of the Secretary of the Navy in 1823 mentions among other improvements at the yard an inclined plane with a house over it. REPAIRED AND ENLARGED. This was what is now called the east ship house and which contains the submarine rail- way. The first mention of the west ship house is found in Naval Affairs, vol. 2. Thirty thousand dollars was its estimated cost. This was in 1825. Repairs to the amount of £1,500 were put on it in 1836, and in 1837 the board of commission asked for an additional apprapriation of £6,000. In 1840 | an appropriation of £9,000 was ‘made for re- irs of wharfe and building» and the west ship five got its share. ‘The building was con- siderably enlarged to accommodate the Minne- ota, which was built in the early tifties and left the yard July 29, 1856. The frigate Brandywine, 44 guns, was launched in 1825; Ingraham's ship, the sloop St. Louis, went down the ways in 1828, and on March %, 1836, the 64-gun new Columbia took the water, according to the Army and Navy Chronicle, ‘in beautiful style.” ‘The sloop of war St. Mary's left the shi house that was at 5p.m. on November 2 1841. ‘The first steamer built at the yard was the Union and she was begun in 1841, and a year or two later the iron steamer Water Witch left the a tl civil war the old housed slip was a busy pi d many vessels of the Potomac flotilla were at different times under cover there. As already stated the junior Nipele was the last ship to leave the house, Sege A Successful Art Student. Mr. Andreas Anderson of Newport, R. L, of Norwegian parentage, a pupil of Mr. Ernest L.

Pleasant Retreats in the Mountains and at the Senside. Many are Jooking now for some place wherein to spend the summer pleasantly. The adver- | larg tising columns of Tae Stan furnish much in- formation on this subject, but to aid those who are still undecided as to’ their summer plans Tue Star publishes notices of resorts where one can find comfort, pleasure and reasonable rates. ‘The Colonnade at Atlantic City is now open for the summer at June rates; but what makes it especially attractive to Washington people is the fact that is is conducted under Washington management. C. A. Rines & Dor peepee of the Elsmere, on H street, are making @ de- Lightful summer resort of the Colonnade. Every season is a pleasant one at Atlantic City, and now the Mansion, which never closes the year round, has developed with the season from a winter resort into a first-class hotel.

D.c.. SATURDAY. JUNE 27. 1891—SIXTEEN PAGES.. AN OLD GEORGETOWN PAPER. ‘Two Brothers Who Differed in Politics and How a Paper Was Run. ‘The article in last Saturday's Star on the old newspapers found in town has brought back to the minds of some of the citizens many amus- ing incidents connected with the publication of later papers. In 1851 the most important paper in town was the Georgetown Advocate, @ strong Whig journal, whose editor, pro- Pprietor, business mshager and collector of subscriptions was Ezekiel Hughes. He is spoken of by those who remember him well as a tall, ungainly man, with high cheek bones, and intelligent, but very eccentric. He hada peculiarity of buying up ell the old type that he could possibly get hold of to use on his paper, often going to New York, Phila- an delphia and many of northern cities for it, when the of reaching the place of ale, added to the actual cost of the type, would more than exceed the cost for the same amount of new material. As a consequence of buying and using the mis cellancous lot, ‘there were never hatdly two columns printed in the same sized type, and as good deal of it was much worn and anfit for use at all, very often nothing but a black dot would mark the place where ® bor e should have been. Ezekiel had a brother, likewise intelligent, but eccen- tric, who was a surgeon and « doctor of medi- cine. The doctor was # strong democrat and many were the heated political arguments the brothers had. One day Ezekiel heard there was to be a sale of old type in Baltimore, and though his oftee already contained enough to run three newspapers he set off for the scene of the sale, leaving the doctor in charge of the ‘per, which was to be issued on the following 7. TRE WICKED BROTHER'S JOKE. ‘This is what the doctor had long been wait- ing fcc. Some editorials denouncing in the strongest terms the democrats and their theories had already been written by the roprietor and were ready for setting up. lardly had Ezekiel left the office, which was then on the corner of High and Gay streets, when his brother so “doctored” the editorials that when the paper came out the foilowi day every individual whig in town was assail and the whole whig party denounced as a band of traitors and a political crowd without honor or honorable intentions. As many of the papers were circulated throughout Maryland one soon fell in the hands of the old type printer. They say he was about to dine at the house of a friend when he first became acquainted with its startling contents, and,neither stopping todine nor to bid hie host good-bye, he ed like a madman, with the paper in his hands, down to the station and was soon on board the train bound for home. Unexpected by bis brother, he rushed into his office, seized the forms containing the objectionable matter, dashed them to the floor and within a short time had an extra edition out explaining the whole affair and calling the democrats everything but gentlemen. Shortly afterward the doctor received an appointment as surgeonat the United States station at Pensacola. In command there was a certain Gen. Twi Their dispositions not being con- ental to each other it wae not long before the loctor and the general were at heads. One day during @ dress parade Hughes, think- ing he would ridicule the general be- fore his men, rode out in full view of them all on a little long-eared jacknss that was noted for its stubbornness, and between every kick and cut yelled out: “Whoa, Twigg. Get up, Twigg.” For this con‘empt to his superior officer the doctor was severely repriman: and finding army life unpleasant after this he resigned his position. One of these brothers was a skilled stenogra- pher, and he was constantly taking notes on all subjects and things, only to place them in his pockets until they were filled, when, without using them, they would be thrown away. THE STENOGRAPHER ARRESTED. One day during the early months of the war, when almost every stranger was suspected of being a spy, the stenographer was leaninj agains one of the brick ‘columns of the ol Marsh market, now known as the Center market, absent-mindedly making his dots, dashes and curves, when he was suddenly seized and arrested by a detective belonging to the secret service division of the United States and taken to the old Capitol prison. The charge against him was that he was suspected of being a spy and taking notes for the con- ae the paper containing the stenographic signs was sent to the War Department to be inter- preted. Owing to the stenographer having used some signs of bis own invention it was after much difficulty that they were finally ex- plained. It was then found that the notes cori- tained simply a description of a white spitz dog belonging to resident of Georgetown, that had given birth to litter of four pups, and a reoipe for making Virginia corn pone. On the following day “tho suspected” wns released.

Chief Farquhar of the buresa of yards and docks has written a letter to the Commissioners calling attention to the condition of the navy yard track outside the yard at the point where a contractor is putting in a sewer under the track. He says the contractor has made a deep excavation up and on each side of the track, and while it is in that condition it is not safe for the Baltimore and Potomac locomo- tives or cars to pass over it,as the ground is soft and continually caving in. He requests that the necessary steps be taken to cause a proper safeguard to be placed under the ties Of the track to prevent accident, WANTS THE CATERPILLARS KILLED. Mr. N. W. King of No. 911 New York avenue has requested the Commissioners to employ two men with necessary implements to com- plete the destruction of the caterpillars on the streets of the park through New York avenue, as the work performed destroying these vermin a few days ago, though very ‘satisfactory, was not complete. Mr. King says in conclusion that the caterpillar is becoming the sub- ject of more consideration each year in this city, and as our beautiful trees eannot be pro- tected from them except by heroic treatment it ix believed that the Commissioners and the superintendent of public buildings and grounds would be justified in suspending all of the Inbor on the streets and in the parks until this terri- ble pest is completely annihilated. CONTRACTS AWARDED. The Commissioners today awarded the fol- lowing contracts: To J. T. Summers, 10,000 cubic yards concrete and paving sand at 59 cents per cubic yard: 250 cubic screened sand to J B. eubic yard; to J. T. Summers, 100 cul of pebbles at 95 cents per cubic yard; to C. G.
