STORAGE. THE BLACK REPUBLIC Minister Smythe Talks Interestingly About Haiti. ITS TRADE AND THE TARIFF seus The Wilson Bill Will Give an Im- petus to Commerce. WITH AMERICA RELATIONS Mr. H. M, Smythe, United States min- ister resident and consul general vo Haiti, and charge d'affaires to Santu Domingo, ts in the city, en route to New York, from whence he gails by the Atlas line, in a few days, for Port-au-Prince. Mr. Smythe received leave of absence for sixty days, to visit his home at Tazewell, Va. His wife and daughter acccmpanied him on his previous voyage to Haitl, During his late visit to Virginia his wife, who had returned with him from Port-au-Prince, became sick and died. His davgiter re- mains in this country,and the minister goes back to Haiti alone. He was at the State Department today to receive irstructions. He was interviewed by a Star reporter, ard asked for a view of the condition of affairs in the tropical republic. He is in re- ceipt of a recent letter from the consul gen- eral, Dr. Ferris, at the Haitian capital, who reports political matters quiet and the future outlook promising. Effects of the Tariff Bill. he new tariff has, and will continue to have, a most beneficial influence on busi- ness In Haiti,” said Minister Smythe. “It will stimulate the production of various ccmmodities, increase the volume of exports to America, and in return largely add to the imports from our markets. It has, and will continue to exert, a most happy effect on the people of Haiti, and create a spirit of friendship and interést among them for this republic, direct their trade hither, and produce an exchange of commerce. “Our relations with the Haitian govern- ment are new of the mest cordial char- acter. The Haitian government has assum- ed established form and has passed through its revolutionary state, taken settled char- acter, and is gaining the confidence and re- gard of foreign governments, and develop- ing a closer and more friendly spirit with other countries. Characterisiies of the Government. “The govervment of Haiti differs in its form from that of our republic,” continued Mr. Smythe. “The Haitians have universal suffrage for the election of their congress and senate, Lut their president is not eiect- ed by the people, he is elected by the sen- ate and congress, Congress—the lower house—is called the house of deputies, plite, who seized the res of gov- < some years since, and held them ce of ali opposition and contest, was regularly elected, four years ago, presi- dent. He has made a creditable executive, restored his government to tranquility, and given un administration satisfactory to the majorit. He w are all the Haitian presidents—elected for seven years.” Mr. Smythe stated that while sugar cane is one of the principal products of the is- Jand, but little of it is cultivated. It grows wild, without cultivation, like the bananas. 1t has not beer for some years manufac- tured into sugar, produced in large quantity but is made into rum, The Haitians man- ufucture superior rum, and the foreign de- mand has always been greater than the supply. “The tariff prev ly existing on sugar,” said Mr. Smythe, “made the production of rum more profitable in Haiti. The recent reduction in American duties, however, will probably result in the diversion of a’ part | of the cane into the manufacture of sugar, and tne Introduction and establishment of ar mills on the island. The development A sugar trade with this country would create an enlarged return trade of Ameri- can exports into Haiti.” Coffee and Hides. “President Harrison's proclamation, by virtue of a clause in the McKinley tariff law, revoked reciprocity with the Haitian republic and fixed a duty of 4 cents per pound on coffee and a heavy tariff on both sugar and hides. Sirce that time Haitian coffee, hides and the body of other products have been diverted from America to Europe. The Haitian coffee is recosnized as among the best of fine-grade coffees grown in the world, and it is a favorite brand in the United States. Ti is one of the chief pro- ducts of the island and is grown in con- siderable quantity. But, like the sugar cane, it is not cuitivated, but grows in its wild’ state. ‘The Wilson ‘bill reducing the tariff on coffee will add to the profits on its trade, increase coffee production and at- tract large cargoes to the United States. Advantage to This Country. “We have a closer and more convenient market than the European ports, and the diversion of the Haitian coffee trade to this country from Kurope means the ship- ment of a greater supply of American man- vfectures to the Haitian market. “The island republic has as yet but few manufactures, and is dependent on foreign mills for its supply of goods. ‘The reduction of American duty on hides—by the Wilson bill—wiil attract another large feature of Haitian trade to the United States. The island grows a large number of cattle, pro- duces its own meat supply, and exports many hides. ‘The goatskin ‘trade is quite extensive, as the republic furnishes skins for half the glove trade of the world. The skins have heretofore gone to France and been used in the glove factories of Paris, Means of Communication. “Port-au-Prince is only six days’ sail from Sandy Hook,” said Mr. Smythe, “and four lines of steamers now ply between New York and the Haitian ports—the Atlas, Clyde, Dutch and Ward lines. There is no reason why, on account of our proximity to Haitian markets, that we may not cap- ture its trade from Europe and monopolize its commerce. Only fair trade and reci- procity is necessary to accomplish this result. The present American tariff reforms will, and are, rapidly effecting the work.” The minister states he has been, and is exerting, through his consuls, the utmost attention and activity to building up the commerce between the two republics, and enlurging American trade in Haitian markets. He finds the merchants not ad- verse to giving American dealers their patronage, and is confident that a few years’ effort will see a large increase in our exports to and imports from Haiti. The largest features of trade with the island now consists of cotton goods and flour. The exports of both have steadily grown re- cently. Many other American commodities and manufactures can be added. Mr. Smythe expects to sail for his post cn the 20th instant, —_—> Finally Cared F: There is no hospital in this city for con- tagious dizeases, ani for this reason Sidney Hand, a seventeen-year-old boy, was haul- ed about the streets Tuesday night until the Homeopathic Hospital physicians took him to treat him, and perhaps save his life. Th2 boy is without friends or money. Dr. J. T. Caldwell of 10th and 8 streets took SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, There was much activity in real estate cir- cles in Anacostia yesterday. The fall bulld- ing season has opened, and the suburb will soon be improved by the erection of several new buildings. Mr. Bergner of Monroe and Washington street is completing arrange- ments for a row of new dwellings on Wash- ington street near Monroe, and there ts talk of another subdivision of a small piece of ground inside the community. A. M. Green & Co. yesterday sold to William Myers lot No. 6, block 5, Buena Vista, for $200; Jor- dan & Richardson sold for H. A. Griswold lot 208, Griswold's addition to Anacostia, on Morris avenue, for $250 Farming property, particularly that portion in the vicinity of Giesboro’ and Oxon Hill, where the propos- ed South Capitol street bridge will cross, is being divided into smalier possessions and modern cottages erected. James E. Halley sold yesterday to John Kerby a portion of his farm, near Fort Foote, for $1,000, The purchaser has commenced the erection of a handsome cottage. This sale divided the property. On the other half, Mr. Hatley has contracted for the erection of a cottage to cost $1,500. There are several other property sales being arranged which will be complet- ed in a day or two. Two tramps created a little excitement at Twining City yesterday. Mrs. Mary Steiger keeps a small tobacco store at that place. Yesterday morning two tramps entered the store and asked for a piece of tobacco. She handed out a five-cent piece, which one of them seized and ran out of the store. The other backed out to cover pursuit while the other escaped. The affair was reported to the Anacostia police, and within a few hours after Sergt. Kirby and Officer Hagan ar- rested Joseph Beach and Charles Rodger. They were supposed to be the two thieves, but the woman refused to prosecute because of the small loss, and the men, having no visible means of support, were charged with vagrancy. For some time past there has been a war- rant out fcr Thomas Littleford, charged with an affray. He evaded arrest until yes- terday, when Officer Branson secured him and took him to the station, where $10 col- lateral was put up a8 security for his at- tendance in the Police Court toda; Mrs. James E. Halley of Maple avenue left this morning for a month's visit to friends in New York. — HYATTSVILLE.
