Foreigners Worried Because of the Absencs of Warshirs PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, May M4.— Admiral. Killick, commander of the Hay- tian fleet, has started for Cape' Haytjen with the Haytian warships Crete-a-Pierot and Toussaint Louvertier, having "de- clared himself in favor of General Fir- min, the former Minister of Haytl at Paris, who is the head of the revolu- tionary forces in the northern part of the island. The northern revolutionists have slezed Port, de Palx and Gonaives, and are col- lecting duties. - Protests against: this ac- tion on the part of General Firmin have been entered by the national bank and the diplomatic corps. A severe engagement between the northern revolutionists and the southern forces, meaning the troops from Port au Prince and the cities of its vicinity, is expected to take place to-morrow or the day after. A steamer from Kingston, Jamaica, is expected here to-day or Thursday, bringing a number of Haytians who have been in exile. Among them are Fouchard and Senoque Pierre, two more | candidates for the Presidency. I The French steamer Olinde Rodriguez, on which ex-President Sam embarked | vesterday, is still in the harbor of Port | au Prince. She was to have sailed yes- terday, but was detained by the French: Mimster, M. de Prese. She will remain here until a foreign warship reaches Pore au Prince. ‘The absence of a foreign warship is causing great uneasiness in the foreign® colony here. After the embarkation of General Saml all the political prisoners here were re | leased and last night they, with groups of | drunken soldiers, paraded the streets. | Shots were fired from time to time, and it was feared that the plundering of | stores and residences would follow. The provisional government constituted by | Boiserond Canal, a former President, is| attempting to control the situation, but General Saint Foix Colin, the district commander; General Kebeau, the chief ef police, and Polinice, the communal mag- istrate, are the only officials who appear to be exercising authority. They formed a corps of respectable citizens yesterday and succeeded in disarming most of tne dangerous characters. As a result the night was much quieter than it would otherwise have been. KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 14.—The pro- visional government of Hayti which was established by Boiserond Canal, a former President of Hayti, has pardoned the Haytian exiles in Jamaica, who are ar- ranging to charter a steamer and proceed to Port au Prince at the earliest oppor- tunity. According to reliable informa- tion which has reached here there will be a continuation of the present serious trouble in Hayti. The party supporting Fouchard in his claim to the Presidency of Hayti is determined to make an ef- fort to get into power. CONTRACTORS DECIDE TO REMAIN NEUTRAL Rival Carpenters’ i Unions. The troubles existing between the Build- ing Trades Council and the local unions of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners formed the subject of an ani- tween the the Builders' Association last night. About cne hundred contractors were in attend- ance. President G. G. Gillespie was in the chair and James McSheehy acted as sec- retary. The proceedings were executive. It was tractors expressed themselves in favor of remaining neutral in the fight, and reso- lutions to that effect were adopted. The | contractors declared that the fight now going on was detrimental to the interests | of the community and that they would do | nothing to add fuel to the fire. It was de- | cided ‘by the contractors to ignore all unions in employing carpenters, and as long as a carpenter is a union man no | questions as to which union he is affiliated | with will be asked. —_—— IRISH FAIR CONTINUES TO DRAW BIG CROWDS Thousands of Visitors Nightly Enjoy the Many Attractive Exhibits in the Various Booths.

The question was reopened by a letter which Dr. J. L. D. Roberts, a physician of this place, wrote to President Roose- velt shortly after the choice of the Na clemiento was announced. The physiciar alleged that the whole section included in the 20,000 acres was wnsuitable for a camp of any kind on account of its un- healthful conditions. The letter specifies | the undesirgble features, asserting that | all the water was strongly impregnated with alkali; that the district was fever infested and the land too poor to be of any use for any sort of agriculture, and that the heat in summer in that region was intense. He based these statements upon the knowledge of the region in gen- eral and the Naciemiento in particular, which he claims to have gained in sev- eral years' of experience while prospect- ing for oil in lower Monterey and San Luls Obispo counties. In making the statements, he declared himself willing and able to prove them. As a result of this letter, M. A. Bolger, a detective from the Curtin agency in San Francisco, made his appearance here last week, reliability, as well as carefully looking into the truth of the statements in his letter to the President. ‘Whether Bolger represents the Govern- | ment or has been sent here by other in- terested parties but however that may be, it is said to be certain that he has left with a pretty strong belief that Dr. Roberts speaks from knowledge of the locality of the camp site. Dr. Rcberts, when seen to-day, said that he wrote the letter to President Roosevelt not from any interested motive, for, as a citizen of Monterey, he desired that the post be located here, but solely because he believed it his duty as a citi- zen to do so. “The conditions at Naclemiento are such,” said he, “that if several thousand men were located there typhold and other fever would inevitably result; and I thought the Government ought to be in- formed of this before going further.” ‘What other site will be | and since has been quletly | 1n\'es(l{a[lng Dr. Roberts’ standing and | cannot be ascertained, | more organs of the female pelvis.

NATURE'S BEADTY FESTS THE EYE SACRAMENTO, May 14.—The floral pa- rade to-day was the great feature of the street fair and May festival, and was by all odds the most spectacular and im- pressive demonstration of the kind ever witnessed in this city. Thousands of spectators lined the streets and lustily cheered the many striking features pre- sented. It seemed that all the floral wealth of the great Sacramente Valley had been employed in the decoration of the numerous vehicles which formed the line of parade. One fact that impressed itself upon vis- itors was that while Sacramento excels in beautiful flowers, it also excels in fem- inine loveliness. Queen Fay was gladly acclaimed all along the line. She was seated in a beautiful victoria, drawn by four horses and lavishly decorated with white pampas plumes and pink and white carnations. There were many novel features in the way of decorations which called forth the hearty applause of the multitude. There was a general suspension of busi- ness in the city this morning during the parade. To-night the Sacramento Driving Club gave a parade of local driving horses.
