The matter was allowed to go almost unheeded, In February, 1875, a treaty of amity and commerce was agreed upon between Hayti and its neighbor, San Domingo, THE REVOLUTION. On the rst of May, 1875, a revoldtion broke out in Port-au-Prince on the eve of tho great agricultural fote of that day, and in which the revolutionist Generals Brice and Monplaisir Pierre were killed, General Brion Canal, uprising and showed great bravery, He subsequently escaped by taking refuge at the country residence of the American Minister, E, D.

About this time Domingues received by the steamer Chorrucca a number of horses from the Spanish gov- ernment, the decorateur of lsabei La Catolien and num: erous other offerings, and for payment of which he consented to banish’ all Cuban refugees out of the country. STILL MORE UNPOPULAR. This made Domingues more unpopular than before, Foreign merchants were taxed $1,200 yearly, and each of their clerks $306, aud the said merchants were pro- hibited from selling less than $500 worth cf goods, ant coffee was taxed $1 80 per 160 lbs. which eifectually killed the trade.

Lovpon, Iowa, April 19, 1876, After Seuving Cleveland last night nothing worthy of note occurred until the imperial party arrived this morning at Chicago. Contrary to what might have been expected, the Emperor did not allow the rude conduct of the Clevelanders to annoy him, and, when the matter was referred to this morning in conversation, he treated it lightly, say- ing that sometimes, even in his own country, he | had to elbow his way through a crowd; that it was natural for #8 ENERGETIC PEOPLE to be alittle rough, and that it was impossible to combine the energetic disposition, which was char- acteristic of this American nation, with the suavity of manner which belongs to less enterprising people. He concluded by saying “I very much prefer to see a people energetic even if they have des désauts de caractére.” THE EMPEROR IN CHICAGO. The Emperor decided yesterday to profit as much as possible by the short delay of two hours at Chicago to see the wonders of the city. During the morning his attention was occupied with the coun- | try through which he passed. He was astonished to find the land so level. Owing to the recent heavy rain much of the low-lying fields are under water and the aspect of the country is cold and cheerless, more especially to the imperial party, who, arriving from the tropics, have fresh memories of the glorious vegetation of their country, with its rich variety of timber and constantly varying features, But the Emperor and the members of his suite are very favorably impressed by the comfort and well-being that meet them on every sile. APPROACHING THE GARDEN CITY. Yesterday they did not cease to admire the small, growing towns, so thickly scattered along the line of the railway, and the frequent occurrence of splendid public buildings in situations where they could scarcely have been expected, giving proof of the energy, self-reliance and industry of the inhabitants. The splendid school houses especially struck the illustrious visitors, and the Visconde de Bom Retiro declared they were educational palaces, Judging from what they had aiready seen, the imperial party expected to find at Chicago a town differing from the smatier ones only in its extent and the activity of its trade. The general feeling was that the chief inter- { est layin the fact of its having been burned down and rebulit. AVOIDING THE CROWD. In order to obviate the fuss and bother of a public reception the Emperor charged Mr. Pullman, of the | Palace Car Company, who happened to be on the train, to telegraph for carriages to meet him at the | Chambers street railway station, so as to avoid the crowd of idlers who might be expecting his ar- rival. ‘The arrangements were promptly made, and on the Emperor's arrival he stepped into his carriage and drove off at once, so that he was enabled to utilize every moment of his stay in the great com- mercial centre of the West. Mr. Pullman, to whom the completeness of the arrangement was due, was | invited by the Emperor to take a place in the impe- rial carnage, an honor he declined. j VISIT TO THE WATER WORKS, He furnished the patty with an excellent guide, who conducted His Majesty and companions through the principal streets of the city tothe water works, which the Emperor was inost anxious to visit. The | system of water supply to the city was examined carefully by the Emperor, who expressed. his admir- | ation of the splendid machinery and regretted that time would not allow him to make a more’ thorough inspection of the works. The party was afterward | taken through the Lasalle street tunnel to the Northwestern Railway station, where a large crowd had assembled to see the Emperor depart, The agent of the line had, however, taken the precaution to secure the services of some half a dozen police. | men, who preserved admirable order without any dimiculty. The crowd, though large, was remarkably good natured in its curiosity, and made quite a fa- vorable impression on the imperial party. HIS MAJESTY'S IMPRESSION OF CHICAGO. The Emperor says he did not expect to see such a town as Chicago, and when it Is mentioned His Ma- “buildings unequalled in New York; that it is “truly wonderful that such a magnificent city could have been built up in a few years. But, important as are the buildings and splendid streets, the public | improvements, like the water works and the tun- nels, are still more worthy of attention and praise.” He concluded his eulogy by saying, “Chicago is a monumental city.” A CITY OF PALACES, Hl Visconde de Bom Retiro declares he does not know any city in Europe that can compare, for the general high character of its architectare, with Chicago. He says:— “T never dreamed of finding such acity. It is finer than New York. It is acity of palaces, It is wonderful.” A TOUR OF OMAHA. During the day a telegram was received from the Mayor of Ommha, asking the Emperor to accept a drive in that city, between the arrival and departure | of the trains, but His Majesty sent a reply declining the proffered courtesy. Carriages have, however, been ordered, and the imperial party will make a tour of Omaha, though not an oficial one, CURIOUS DEMONSTRATIONS, At all the stations along the line nambers of people were collected. They exhibit a good deal of curi- osity, bat have been very courteous to the illustri- ous visitors. The pertinacions attempts of the local reporters to interview His Majesty are one of the amusing features of the trip. THE EMPRESS IN NEW YORK. | 0 Novo Mundo, and Miss Berta Sawyer. | preouw oF tii “ vein The presence of the imperial party at the Fifth Ave- ‘nue Hotel bas had a magnetic effect on the public, and yesterday evening the most favored patron could only be accommodated with storage for bis luggage and the ay — promise ofa bed in the parlor, Part of the wing re served for their use was given up when the Emperor and party left for the West, and since then the par- tition secluding it from the rest of the hotel has been Temoved. Shortly before eight o’clock, when it wae expected that the Empress would visit the opera, there was a marked increase in the pumber of lady promen- aders in the hallways approaching her apartments, Of course, this may have been the result of chance, but it was very suggestive of curtosity, ‘The Empress expresses horself highly pleased wit the different institutions that she has visited, and speaks of the magnificence of some of our public and private buildings. Sho was also delizhted with her visit to Central Park. She will remain inthe city for some time, proceeding to Philadelphia in time to join the Emperor on his return trom San Francisco. During her stay she will receive daily. The hour up to the prosent time has been from five to siz o'clock, and quite a number of visitors have called te pay their respects, CHANGE IN THE HOUR OF RECEPTION, The Empress on learning that the time she bad se apart for the reception of her visitors was inconven iently near their dinner hour, changed it to from four to five. The change of hour will commence on Friday To-day it will be as heretofore.
