BLAMES MINISTER DOUGLASS. Dur Buvoy Oould Easily Have Stopped the Haytian Massacress BUT HE WAS LOCKED IN HIS CELLAR. Have | Bia Private Secre Assumed Control of the and to Have Upheld Hippolyte's Butcherics. Wry Said to Legation New Yonk, July 7.~The following appears this morning In the Sun: The rumors of revolution and murder which have been re ecoived from Port-au-Princo and other Hay- tian ports the last few days havo finally been nithenticated by the arrival in New York on thy steamer Princo Willielm [11 of soveral members of the Haytian rovolutionary party and a number of merchants who have found it necessary, owing to the unsafo and troublous times, to leave the fsland. F'rom the reports given by them it is probable that this small negro republic fn the West Indies will again g0 through the throes of massacro and revo lutfon from which it suffored so disastrously 8 fow years ago. Tho story which is printed this morning cor on the Prine was obtained from a passen Wilhelm 1L, & friend of the reactionary party, and a man whose knowledge of tho country aud its peoplo may safely be relied on. His name did not appear on the passen- gor list of the steamer, and his presonce in New Yorlk is probably known to_very few of his frionds, owing to reasons which be does not feel called upon to make public. He was present at all tho scenes he describes and was a witness of Hippolyte's massacres of May 28 and the weck following. The Prince Wiltietm 111, sailed from Port-au-Prince at noon on Saturday, June 27,and arrived in the port last Friday. *On landing in Now York," said the Sun's fnformant, “J read in the papers the story of the events which took place at Port-au-Princo from May 28 to June 2. This ac tains errors of detail. The main f ever, aro correct, notally the assertion of the culpability of the United States miuister, Mr. Frederick Douglas, or rather that of h vate sceretary, at whose morcy Mr. Douglas is completely left. cwing to his age and his fnability to speak Wrench. The private sec retary is Mr. Bassett, a mulatto, who has won tho distrustof the whole population of Port-au-Princo. This man was formerly United States minister to Hayti and was one of tho negotiators for the purchase of the Moie St. Nicholas. It was owing to his in- compstence or fraudulent practices that tho United States was deprived of the opportuni- ty of purchasing this important coaling sta- tion. ““I'he residents of Port-au-Prince, on seo- ing Bassett return to the island as a private secretary, after having held the important oftice of mimster, naturally sought for somo explanation of the situation, and soon found that it was either from a lack of confidenco of our government in the former envoy or a case of bankruptey on the part of Bassett, which compelied him to ncceptany office that would furnish him a liveiihood. " The office of privato secretary has como up to Mr. Bassett's highest expectations. He over- rides tho minister, and by submitting to the desires of the Haytian government instead of asserting the rights of the uation he rep- resents, he manages to Al nis coffors to an extent which enable him to live in an ex- travagnnt manner and to 10so heavily in the games of chance of which he is 30 notoriously ond. “Thus it is ouly too truo that Minister Douglus bears the moral blame for the assas- sinations committed during tho six days, as encouraged by bis secrotary, when he coula put astop ol all by a mere sign. Ho is hereforo today an object of distrust to his colleagues, of hate to all honest people and a toy for the Haytian ministers who aro crush- fng to earth the interests of the United Btates. Heo allows American subjects to be expelled daily from tho country without cause, whilo o lulls himsel! to sieap by read- fng flattering articles published by these ministers in the ofilcial press. HOn May 25, as soon as the first shots wero fired in the attack on the prison, Sccre- tary Bassett locked Ministor Douglass into his apartments in his villa undor the pre- toxt that the minister's place was not. in tho midst of the bullets and that he would go himself to see what the trouble was. The rison, in which 200 political prisonors had «been placed by order of llipvo‘\'w, Wwho sus- pected that a revolution was temg plotted under 1ho leadership of General Sully Guer- rier, was being stormed by the mob. "In thi Prison Lhere were fow thieves and incen- diaries who were delivered with the rost, a fact which the presideut took as an excuse for tho slaughters of that duy. ‘0 snow, howover, that the insurgents were merely trying to deliver their fricnds, and not_the criminals, and that they did not even know i what cclls their friends wero conflued, we kuow thut they faiied to roleaso three political cantives, one of whom was Mume. Sully Guerricr, the wifo of their leader. This unfortunate woman had been incarcer- ated for weeks in frons and iad been tortured daily by order of Hippolyto to compel her to tell of the whereabouts of her husbund, As #00n s he was caught and shot, on that day she was sot free. 'The causo of the attack on the prison was an order issued by tho prosi- dent to take all theso prisonors to sea on tho Haytinn man-of-warand thero shoot or drown them all. “Au hour and a half after the attack on the prison,” continued the speaker, ‘‘the wholesalo slaughter was bogun in the streets. The houses of the several consuls w guarded by troops who had orders to shoot any who might go thero to seek refuge, whether native or foreigners. When this condition of affairs was understood, the con- suls thought 1t time to put a stop to it all. The Spanish consul, thevefore, being the senior diplomatic officer—on sccount of the absouce of the French minister, who was at LaCoupe; of the Knglish ministor, who has Dot been appointed since the uccession of Hlippolyte, and of tho United States minster, who wus ' hiding in his cellar—catled the meeting. Mr. Bassott, commonly recognized @s the virtual ropresentative of our government, was prescut at the meoting. He put a stop to all progress by saying that Hip- polyta wus in tho right; that the white peaple lynched the negroes in the United States and that the colored race, in a land m—_ayhere it was the master, was justified in killing as many white men as possible; that the ouly fuuit 'he had to find With the presi- dent was that he did not shoot every white man in Hayti. My authority for this state- Eulmn.," explained” the Sun's informant, “is r. Arthur Croswell, who for nineteen years as been tho attorney of the British and Bpaaish legations and who was presentatthe meeting. “When this nlylnluu had been advanced by the representative of the United States, each consul was compelled to reserve his own ue tion. But, when a fow moments later, Mr. Rigaud, a French merchaut, while smoking cigar o his balcony, hud his door broken futo by the soldiery and was shot for not having saluted the passing president, whom he had not even obsorved; when his nephew ‘was stretehed dead at his feot for having protested against this act of barbarity, then he chancellor of tho Freuch loga- tion put on his oMclal uniform and, usconding alono the steps of the alaco, declared that the first Frenchman in- jured would be the signal for tho gathering and the arming of tho Fronch colony, and at their head he would take such moeasures as wero necessary for the preservation of lifo nd property. The Mr. Rigaud, who had en killed, was a native born,a groat-grand sou of the French geueral, and had reseutly siled papers to obtain French citizenship. “The energetic action on the part of the French represeutative caised the natives to vespect all those under the protection of the tri-color wnd perhaps even all white men and strangors. It s certain that the intervention ©of the United Sta‘es miuister at the head of tho whole corps of consuls would have put a #top to the terrible scenes which lasted six ays and which lasted as long as they did by the mere encouragemeat of Mr. Douglass' secretary.” e Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup for chil- ron teething rolleves tho child from paiv. centa & bottle THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: UN \\I\I()l ON MANY THINGS [CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. thoughtful co leration to ',\vl\!ll'vu tof an oxtra sossion, and | have sought to observe Tho trand of publio sentiment. on this ques: tion, It has see od to me that a large pr ponderance of pubile sentiment Is agalnst a 'I' rthermore, the state hn:\rr‘ of transportas 110} Dk omplote. aantrol Ser thin subjer wnd 1 have supposed 1t would take the nee snry aetlon In favor of a reduction of rates If that body should take such aetion n speein session of the isluture witl be rendered un ovosmnry. | A, VOry respeoLry 4 Jous T eral Webster T Ge alks.

The ropublican party should do something by way of perfecting an organization through- out the state before the convention is held. Furthermore, wo should await the action of tho alliance party and, it possibic, the action also of the dem 'party, so that we may know the best thing for us to do. “Tho organization of the republican party should be as thorough and as carefully dono us 15 the organization of the alliance party That work ought fo have been going on fo tho lnst six months, Every county in this state ought to be subdivided into districts, with each district having a man fully posted as to the volitics of every man living i it and all these committeemen ought to report, toa contral organization, where a comploto record should be kept, o that those in the mauagement of the party would know just whiere work was nceded, and tho kind of work to bo done. The vanvas should be something of the fashion and s thorough as the anti-prohibition canvass during the last campaign, Such a political canvus requires money, but it would prove the salvation of tno republican party. There are great interests to be looked after in the near future. During noxt year taero is to be an entire state tickes elected. Thero is to bo a_legislature elected, which will elect a United States senator. There will bo tho presidential olection. No matter what it costs thero should be a thorough political or- ganization constantly at work from this day until the presidential election shalt be over.

The raiiroads ought to recognize the right of the republican party to ask n reasonable reduction of rates and the republican party should be entitled to the credit of whatover benefit tho people receive from the reduction of rates.” Are you in favor of Omaba as the place for holding the next national republican cou- vention? “Yes, that is why I went to Cedar Rapids with a committeo io have the lowa conven- tion lend its endorsement to this mowe- ment, Iam in favorof any political step which looks toward the recoguition of tho interest and prosperity of tho west. The local benefits arising from the holding of the convention here aro self evident. There is, howevar, a great political necessity that the convention should be held at Omaba. Nearly overy state in the union outside of Nebraska has been recognized by the administration of tho respective parties in some substantial way. Colorado with one-fourth our popula- tion has had a secretary of the interior, Min- nesota has had a secretary of the treasury, Wisconsin & postmaster general and secre- tary of agriculture, the littlo states of New England have almost continually nad a cabinet officer and a foreign minister. The same has been trus of little Delaware and New Jersey, scarcely bix enough for a Nebraska corn field. The stato of Nobraska from the time when Dr. Miller shoula have veen made postmaster general under Cleveland’s admnistration up to the present day was justly entitled to a &binet ofticer and a foreign minister of bhigh rank. Both partics have likewiseignored Nobraska. It scems us if Nebraska nover got into the union. Iam in favor of making theso east- ern peovle, at least, come to Omaha to hold a convention if they expect to koep all the oftices. It will bo a graat thing for them and us both to be brought closer together.” DID NOT OPPOSE HI1H. Nicolay Says That Lincoin Favored Hamlin's Nomination.

Arnold of Kent testi- fied that the freight train left Kent almost immediately after the passenger traifi had pulled out, and that when the froight was under way the express was not more thau two hundred feet ahead of it. The speed recorler on the freight locomotive shoswed that the train ran the first threo miles nt the rate of twenty miles an hour, the fourth twenty-eight aud the fifth and sixth at _the rate of thirty miles an hour and when the collision occurred it was going twenty miles an hour. Berney r, watchman at the crossing about three miles west of the wreck, swore that when the freight passed him the cxpress was net more than a mile away. This testimony, it is said, shows that_the RAVE. froight had encroached = at least threo miles on tho tume of tho express, which was running late with a hoavy truin.
