“TRLEGRAPHIC' NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. THE REVOLUTION IN HAYTI. Continued Outrages Upon Foreign- ers and Peaceable Residents. Another Revolution in Lower Cali- fornia. . : HAYTI. Salnave’s Arrival at Port au Prince=Two Fresh Revolutionus--Outlaws--Threats Against Foreigners and the Consule—Outrages Upon Peaceable Residents. Havana, May 24, 1868, From Hayti we learn that the Cacos changed their position and joined General Niasage. This enabled ‘President Salnave to escape from Anaminthe. Nis- Sage addressed a manifesto to the inhabitants, in fwhich he denounced Salnave and his Miuister of tate, nag Salnave on arriving at Gonaives foung «it possible to reach the capital y land, and embarked on @ man-of-war ith one hundred and fifty of his meh. It was found possible to fake any more of his troops aboard. Megnwhile Delorme at the capital proclaimed Sal Dictator, and ordered all lawless characters found in the streets at night to be shot. He also de- lared all persons to be enemies who would fire into ‘any private houses. Among those fired into was that Of Minister Hollister. ‘b The inhabitants threatened to arrest Delorme in the palace af night. Three hundred conspirators Were sworn to carry out this plot butonly fifty responded to the call. The pistol of one of the party suddenly went off, causing an alarm in the palace, The object of the conspirators was thus defeated by the guards and some of the conspirators were shot. President Salnave arrived at Port au Prince the nextday and notified the Consuls not to take any action which would prevent him from enforcing his authority, He threatened to attack the Consulates with force if necessary to obtain the surrender of the refugees who sought asylum there. Minfster Hollis- ter respectfully expostulated with Salnave, who be- came ghastly with rage at the Minister's firmness, Delorme was nervous and would not wait at the Le- gation for Minister Hollister’s reply. » Thg proclamation of the Dictatorship has created two fresh revolutions, one in the south headed by Generals Faubert and Dubois, who have their head- quarters at Léogfine, the other in the north heatied by General Nissage Sayet, with his headquarters at St, Marc. The Cacos, under General Chenét, have Jotned the latter and at last accounts threatened the capital. President Salnave issued a proclamation stating that he had surmounted all the obstacles in his way and that a portion of his army was before St. Marc. Another report states that the Ministry had re- signed. Troops were ordered to keep the peace, as the negroes attempted a movement in favor of the Northern rebels. They opened the prisons and set the convicts free. By an arrival from Gonaives we learn that alarm guns were fired there all night from the 34 to the 6th inst. St. Mare was declared blockaded by the government. An address was sent to Gonaives set- ting forth Salnave’s project for reorganizing the army. In another address to the army he declares the department of Artibonite in a state of siege. General Nissage Sayet was declared a traitor and outlawed on the 4th inst, Another account states that Salnave reached Port au Prince in the man-of-war Sylvan. He at once issued a proclamation declaring Generals Faubert and Dubois traitors and forbidding all foreigners and Consuls to shelter them. In case of disobedience extreme penalties would be inflicted. ‘epee.

The Consulates were crowded. On May 5 the capital was declared in a state of siege, martial law was proclaimed and all men from the age of fifteen to sixty-five ordered to be con- scripted. Terrible pillage and brigandage were the reault of these measures, The government ordered the troops to fire on the mobs. This was done amid shouts of ‘Vive Salnave.” The shooting through the streets was indiscriminate. The house of Mrs. Hamilton was pierced, although the American flag floated over it. A Virginian named Hepburn was wounded while defending his store. He had to crawl over @ wall, almost fainting from loas of blood, to reach the Consulate. On the 6th instant the town was quiet. The Cus- tom House was closed and the foreign families had taken refuge aboard the naval vessels in port. The natives were flying from the city. ‘The revels had captured Miragoane. On the 7th all was quiet, but business was dead. On the sth the Custom House opened and partially resumed business, Salnave is determined to dispute every inch with the rebels, and a bloody war is expected. The date of the schooner Herbert's departure was uncertain. On May 9 General Chevalier, from Gonaives, at- tacked the rebels around Port au Prince, but he was defeated. On the 10th he managed to enver the capi- tal with two hundred men. Aux Oayes has joined the rebel cause, A commit- tee had been sent to parley with the inhabitants, but they were unsuccessful. Salnave has now in his favor only the capital, Gonaives and Cape Haytien. ‘The Cacos attacked Gonavres, but were repulsed. General Chevalier had to return to defend the town. On the 11th General Sylvain bombarded the town of Monabatian, where the advanced forces of General Faubert were stationed. On the 12th General Nissage Sayet, who was for- merly a member of Geffrard'’s Cabinet, was pro- ciatmed a candidate for the Presidency. An agricultural fair was held May 1, notwithstand- ing the disturbed state of the country. JAMAICA.

Commodore Phi!limore had acceded to the request for aid to the American Minister Port au Prince to protect him against e Van. dalism of Salnave. He at once ordered the British gunboat Phoebe, then cruising at Santiago de Cuba, to proceed to Hayti and remain there at the disposal of the American Minister and the foreign consuls, The gunboat Royalist has also been or- dered to go to Port au Prince. The Episcopal Congress, after a seasion of three days, adjourned, without accomplishing anything. They are now ridicyed by their opponents. MEXICO. xation Muddle—Order at Mazath SAN FRANCISCO, May 23, 1863, The ex-Collector of the port at La Paz, L. C., had secured the aid of a force of regulars under General Dévalos, of Sinaloa, With these the Custom House was seized as well as the government archives. The acting Governor of the State was Imprisoned, as he and Governor Galan are accused of being engaged in 6 plan to annex the border States to the American Union. A correspondent suggtsts that it may be on account of admitting cargoes of European goods at a reduction from the regular duties. Order reigns in Mazatlan since the reinstatement of Governor Rubi. Genera! Corona had arrived with eighteen hundred men, increasing the garrison to three thousand men. At Mazatlan feasting and public enjoyment ruled the day, but the news from the intertor was gloomy. Great misery and disorder still prevatied, neverthcless many plans of public tmprovement were talked of and new railroads and telegraph lines were pro- jected.

The advices are for- warded to New York in order to show how stale the news has been rendered by being anticipated by way of San Francisco, The advices in London to-day say the Pacific Mail steamship Great Republic had arrived at Yokohama from San Francisco disabled. Jeddo was still closed against foreigners, on account of the civil trouble in Japan. ‘The reports from Japan giyen above as ‘just re- ceived in London," by way of China and India, were anticipated in the United States by the arrival of the Pacific mail steamer New York at San Francisco on the 18th inst. She had freight dates of the 28th of April fgom Yokohama, A full report of her news, which was eighteen days later than that to hand tn London, was published last Tuesday morning in the HERALD, having been telegraphed from San Fran- cisco.

A Steamer and an Entire Pier Turncd—Loss $672,000. : For some time past the Fire Commissiou¢ré and the insurance companies have been subbing ‘Lelr hands with great complacency over the fact tha* great fires in this city were things of time gone by and not to be remembered, while the good natured public have so accustomed themselves to the appa- rently ‘“‘new era” that they have for weeks past gone to bed without the slightest expectation of being aroused before morning by their houses burning over their heads. This state of things was, however, ended yesterday afternoon by the occurrence of one of the most dis- astrous fires that has taken place tm this city for many months past. It appeare that about ten minutes after one o'clock (to be precise) yesterday afternoon, as officer Waish of the Third precinct was standing on the corner of Robinson and West streets he perceived two men making violent efforts to enter the iron gateway leading to the freight oMce of the Neptune Steam Propeller Com- pany, and the watchman of the pier making just as violent efforts to give them entrance. The officer ran over to the place where the men were to ascer- tain what was going on, when he espied what had caused the excitement among the trio, smoke issuing in dense volumes from the second story of the com- pany’s office, which is located on the south side of the pier. Walsh immediately started off to give the alarm, while several other persons broke open the gateways and went frantically in search of a ladder by which to reach the windows of the office. No ladder could be had, and so the men attempted to seale the sides of the building, and succeeded by united effort ia getting on the roof of an adjoining shed, but when there found that they had a very good view of the smoke, without flame, which was issuing forth from the windows, but were as unable to do anything toward putting an end to the threat- ening scene as they had been on the street below. THE ALARM SOUNDED, In the meantime Walsh had communicated intelli- gence of what he had seen to the station house in Chambers street, and soon the alarm sounded on the atr from several towers, and almost simultaneously, down Broadway, from up town and from down town, the engines thundered along toward Robinson street. From the time the police ofieer and the three men above mentioned had noticed the smoke curling up out of the office top till the engines were on the ground there had elapsed but two or three minutes; yet in that brief space of time the scene at the office had vastly changed. The smoke that had at first been issuing forth from crack and crevice in fitful puffs (as though some giant proof against suffocation were amusing himself within with a pair of powerful bellows) had now become less in volume and clearer in hue, while a vast column of flame shot high into the air, with tnnumerable branches at its base, that like so many serpents twined themselves about the’ wood- work and ran hissing along the adjoining sheds with a rapidity that was truly appaling. Up higher went the flames over the office, while along the buildings on the pier and down the shed supports into the freight rooms they chased one another, until, as if caught up and carried along by a train of pow- der laid for the purpose, they shot over the whole length of the covered pier, roaring like a whirlwind as they swept on their path of destruction. THE ENGINES AT WORK. The engines that were frst upon the ground quickly unlimbered their hose and the firemen went to work with a will, but as {ll fate would have it the first hydrants they attempted to make serviceable could not be induced to work; and so a slight delay was caused, of which the flames took devastating advantage. Certain of the engines endeavored to draw their water from the river but the tide was at its ebb and two of the pipes became clogged with mud and had to be hauled up and laid from a differ+ ent point of the river side. The delays caused by these unlooked for obstacles were but of a moment's duration, however, and when the machines went fully to work the fire was fought at every step for the mastery, and found in the engines most deter- mined antagonists. While the engines-were arriving one after the other several of the firemen and police broke through the gateways of the pier and rushed down to the vessels, laying alongside the bulkheads, to give whatever assistance they could towards. sav- ing them. But though they were quick the fire was quicker than they, and with a crackling, whizzing sound, as of a Windstorm tearing through a forest, it swept on past them along the sides of oe yer and above them on the roof; finally, reach- ing causing such a general scare on the pier of the Old Colony line of steamers. that the vessels of that line were towed out into the stream for safety. the vessels which lay alongside the wharf, and A NARROW ESCAPE. Oficers McConnell and ares Were of this reckless y the howling of the ropeiler Oceanus lay and were about to lend a help- ing hand to the crew towards cutting her loose, when the fire swooped down upon them driving them to the extreme end of the pier. On the flames swept— still on, and the officers in a moment were cut off from the shore—a wall of flame before them, the river behind them. There was no time for second thoughts, and so the worthy two scrambled down to the water’s edge and were fortunate enough to have a amall boat come to their rescue, when they were transferred to an adjoing pier. THE VESSELS CATCH FIRE. The flames had now wrapped themselves about the freight offices and sheds along West street, from pier 26 to pler 28, and the whole of pier 27, five hundred feet in length, with its wocden roof and sides, was one vast sheet of fre; whilethe steam propeller Oce- anus, lying on the south side of the pier, and the steam propeller Metia were rocking to and fro as the burning timbers fell crashing on their decks from the lin roof, and the fire in its madness shot over ao icking up with its many tongues every particle of woodwork that came within its reach. The firemen worked manfully, from the outset of the fire wheeled on the adjoining piers threw great streams of water into the burning mass, but which seemed to have no more e/Yect than if the water had been alcohol, Once in a while a stream would continue to pour on one particular spot and succeed in keeping the flames at bay fora second, and the engines that had been but no sooner was the stream diverted i another direction than the fire would again resume its sway and carry all before it. The fire had reached its height in ten minutes after it had started on its devouring course from the little office on the shore end of the pler, and having spent its strength on the pier itself by consuming all that could be burned, concentrated its full wrath on the unfortunate pro- ellers Oceanus, Thetis and Metis. It was in vain hat the firemen essayed to get the Oceanus out of the reach of the flames, for, with the ir ae of a lightning flash, when the fire approac! the east end of the pier, she was wrapped in its embrace and almost lost to view in a volume of smoke and flame, against which the engines were ee to contend. As the vessel became less and less like a vessel, and was quickly being reduced to a huge mass of charred timber, she suddenly gave a lurch and went down to the bottom, with her bag deck just lifting its head above the surface of the water and giving | rth a blinding vol- ‘ume of smoke that went Let, it up into the air in @ solid column. Be 22" ay high up, Me the portholes pore ‘the Water, ahd her the fire on the aft part of the veasel was driven away by the rushing in of the waters, it sti led under decks into the forecastie and there held high revel for some time, regardless of the streams of water that were pou in upon it by the engines on are and the four streams from the police boat Metropolitan, under command of Sergeant Kelly and roundsman Doyle. When finally the engines had confined it to the nar- rowest part of the forecastie, the flames burst forth through the portholes, sending forth from each outlet an arm of fire full six feet in length, which, coming in contact with the water of the river, caused a hissing sound like that made by. water pearing into red hot vessels. Even out of this stronghold the fire was at last driven, but not before it had done all ite work and totally destroyed vessel. While the Oceanus was burning the Met and Thetis were, as has been before mentioned, caught by the flames. The Metis was got out into the stream and thus nceges serious damage, and the Thetis, being closer to jer, was burnt com- pletely out on one side before the flames could be ex. inguished. The propeller Electra lay on ongside of the pier during the fire, but she was towed Into the stream and the fire thus deprived of additional fuel. THE FIREMEN GET STRATEOICAL. While the fire was at Ite height the heat that was spread about from the burning pier and vessels was of the most intense character. The firemen for a long time were unable to get within good ‘stream distance’? of the vessels from the pier to the south of them on this account, and were it not for a pecu- Harty strategical move on their part the fire might have extended to the adjoining wharves. Finding that the heat Was too intense for them to take com- ete possession of the pier from which they could yest control the flames without some kind of & barrt- cade, they gathered together all the apple and pe nut stands they could lay hands on and piling them together, and behind this improvised fortress tho: were enabled to fight the fire to the bitter en which was not subdued until late in the evening. THE LOSSES, The Oceanna, which was totally destroyed, was a steam propeller, 240 feet eg} and of 1,600 tons bur- den, She Was built in 1864 by Van Dusen, of this city.

Wilson thinks if the matter were dropped and the {mpeachment question allowed to be finally settled on Tueaday it would be ali the better for the Party and'for the country, Bingham 1s of a different opinion. He persists in the bellef that the whiskey rings have had something to do with the Preaident’s acquittal, and that ‘the great criminal,” as he ts so very fond of pronouncing the Executive, connived at if he did not urge the alleged tampering with Senators, Williams supports Bingham’s posi- tion, and expects another article of impeachment wil! soon emerge from an embryo condition, Wil- Hams, however, has hitherto held that articles of impeachment as numerous a3 sands on the seashore could'be found against the President; and had the work of finding them been left exclusively to him, a thing he very much desired. the Lord only Knows how long the bill of indictment might have been. Butler, who is ever ready to believe any- thing, provided he can get other people to share his belief, and to help him im accomplishing a certain object, is satisfied that he has an overwhelming amount of internal, inferential and supposititious evidence to implicate one or two Senators and make conviction sure. Thad Stevens is so fully convinced that tnere has been all kinds of fraud perpetrated to defeat conviction that he is preparing an article of tmpeachment and taking the subject of bribery fer his text. Butler wanted to get up the article himself, but Thad en- grossed the task to himse!f by the convincing way in which he demonstrated that his former article was the strongest pill in the entire dose, Logan is away in the West, but he {s perfectly satisfied that the mat- ter, in the hands of Butler and Stevens, will be care- futly attended to. To-morrow {t is expected the report will be submitted to the House of Representa- tives, but if it happen not to be ready a postpone- ment of the verdict will probably be asked for.

His apeech upon the mational finances, to which the HBRALD correspondent alludes, was & masterptece of financial statesmanship, pointing out the safe and certain road to the resumption of specie payment and exhibiting the excetlence of the national bank- ing system.” ‘an any impartial reader of the HERALD | ir doubt that the League is-really an auxiliary of the national bank Treasury ring?

I proved that, if they were carried ooh the present national bank burden would be inere: to $143,500,000 annually. A distinguished member of Congress who has given the subject more thought, erhaps, than any man living, assures me that those gures are altogether under the true estimate; that the Morrell proposition 1s virtually a confiscation of nearly all the real and personal property in the coun- try by the national banks, entalliag a loss upon the people utterly beyond calculation, Justice, however, to the author of “the master. plece of financial statesmanship’ requires me to state that I have carefully read his speech, advocat- ing the additional issue of $200,000, of cur- rency to national banks, and do not find any- thing tn {t indicative of the author's desire to have any portion of the sum tssued to tne First National Bank of Johnstown, of which he ts president, unless recently resigned. But the spectacle of a national bank president elected to Congress, and there advocating the issue of $200,000,000 subsidy to those corporations is suggestive, to say the least; and a decent respect for the opinions of mankind, if he has none for the interest of the people, should induce him to give us no more exhibitions of his “finanolal statesmanship."’ His bank has now $60,000 of its own capital invest in United States bonds exempt from tax and draws ing interest from an overtaxed people. The Comp- troller of the Currency has issued to tt $54,000 cur- rency, 80 that the bank owners are drawing {nterest on $114,000, or nearly double the amount of their tn, vestment. This is called ‘financial statesmanship.* Taxpayers may be for a time deceived by high sound> ing phrases, but not long. In all the resolutions adopted by these reformers at their last meet- ing not one word {a found inst the legalized abuses of the Treasury epartment or national banks. Plenty of vigorous denunctation of repudiators who do not exist, and other men of straw. I give one more sample of their buncombe resolutions, and with it finish for the present. It de~ clares, “that at all cost to individuals or canes the public faith with the national creditors must kept unbroken, and any bane gt to evade, under any pretext, the just obligations of the country would be at once dishonest and unwise, i apy * he pee’ to the contempt and execration of the civil! world and undermining the foundattons of all pri- vate credit.” Tnasmuch as no one talks of or contemplates break» ing the nation’s faith or ear a.1 its just ouneeeae. excepting these hypocrites of honesty, they and tent te of public honor to gover the ef- conventent to prate of publ oS —— te fate. The Senator Sumner’s Opinion. ‘To-morrow Senator Sumner will file an elaborately written opinion, setting forth his reasons for voting in favor of the conviction of President Johnson, Treasury Circular Relating to Duplicate Bounty Checks. The following circular of instructions concerning duplicate bounty checks has just been promul- gated:— TREASURY DEPARTMENT, May 15, 1868. In compliance with the third section of the act en- titled “An act to facilitate the payment of soldters’ vounties,” approved March 19, 1868, the following regulations are-established in regard to the payment of duplicate checks of paymasters for bounties under the act aforesaid by the Assistant Treasurers of the United States in the cities of New York and San Francisco:— Immediately upon the loss of a check the owner, to protect his interests, must, in writing, notify the Assistant Treasurer upon whom it was drawn of the fact of such Joss, describing the check and re- questing that payment of the same be stopped. . In order to procure the issue of a duplicate of the check an afMidavit in duplicate will be required by the Paymaster General, or the paymaster acting under him, who issued the original check, from the party in interest, showing his interest, describing the eheck, naek forth the circumstances attending Its loss and that ft was not endorsed in blank or to bearer, either by the payee or any other person en- titied to receive pay therefor. The bond hereinafter referred to and the original affidavit are to be coun- tersigned by the paymaster as having been submitted to him, and being the proof and security upon which he has acted, and are then to be delivered to the party to whom the duplicate check is issued and by said party for- warded to the Second Comptroiler of the Treasury. ‘The duplicate of the aMidavit will be retained by the paymaster as his evidence upon which he has issued the check. In executing the affidavit the first, second and fifth of the instructions ap- the bond must be observed. No duplicate check shall be tssued prior to the executien ofa bond in the form of and according to the instructions as shown and embraced in printed forms, which will be delivered to the Paymaster General for distribution to the paymasters author- ized to issue checks in payment of bounties, nor shall such duplicate check be issued, unless it is an exact transcript of the original check, jal pains being taken that the number and date correspond with the original check. The original aMdavit, the bond and the duplicate check having been received by the Second Comptroller, he will advise the Assistant Treasurer that an application for a certain duplicate check is pashan 3 ‘on receipt of which advice the Assistant reasurer will inform the Second Comptroller whether a request has been made to stop the pay- ment of the origina! thereof, and whether the sald original has been paid or not. If the reply of the Assistant Treasurer is satisfactory the Second Comp- troller will then decide on the eufliciency of the rea- son and the proof for the issue of the duplicate check, and if he approve of the same and the accompany- fecta of their own infernal policy, changed or repudiation ts inevitable as fate. resources of the country cannot stand the drain caused by the national bank Treasury ring. therefore, you hear of a man prating of public faith with national creditors “spot” him; he 1s a reptdt- ator in disguise.
