AFFAIRS AT HAYTI.
Legitime Losing the Conf)dneof
the People The Haytien
Republic.
New York, Dec. 17. The steamer
Saginaw arrived today from Hayti, and
itsis learned that th nt earner llajtien
Republic waa still in the harbor of Port-au-Prince
when the Saginaw sailed.
Passengers by the Saginaw state that on
the morning of the 5th five of Legitime's
men-of-war, the Dcssalincs. Belize, Tous
eaint, L'Overture and one other, bom
barded Cape Ilayti. The foreign consuls
in thb city, before the beginning of the
bombardment, sent oat a petition to the
commander of the fleet asking time to
get out of the city. They were . given
thirty-six hours to evacuate the town.
The people fled into the hills, taking all
the possessions they could conveniently
carry, the supply of pack mules being
limited to fifty or sixty. The animals
the Atlas line ship Galena, to be delivered
at an American port subject to the dis
posal of this government. Mr. Austin,
one of the agents, says: "I don't see why
Ilayti or the Atlas people gain by this,
and I doubt very mucli whether they can
bring the Haytien Republic up here.
She has no stores, no fuel, nor anything
else on board, and must be in a bad
condition.''
The steamer Haytien Republic will
leave Port-au-Prince tomorrow morning
flying the American flag, manned by an
American crew and bound for New York.
Chaa. W. Brooks, council for the Atlas
Steamship company, said: ''The crew
which was at Hayti to accomplish this
result was forwarded with the full
knowledge, consent and connivance of
Minister Preston and General Contreras
nor has there been any unnecessary con
cealment in this matter so far as my
clients are consented. And had the
United States naval authorities been pos-

were in great demand, and fabulous prices . . . .
P, . , , , , sesaed of a full acquaintance with the
were paid to convey a single mule load . . a .. .
i maratime laws conserning me auipiuviii
to places of safety. .
Shortly after daybreak on the second
day after the arrival of the fleet the Hay:
tien officers trained their guns on the
town and the bombardment commenced.
In a few minutes the shot began to tear
through the town, demoralizing the frail
structures. The bampoo huts succumbed
easily, but the stone buildings in the
centrul and more elevated portion of the
- town were not so easily destroyed, the
heavy walls resisting the fire for several
hours. Despite the warning they had re
ceived to leave the fated town, many
residents clung to their habitations. In
fact, it was impossible to remove the sick
in the city within the time allowed. On
the top of all of the houses in which sick
persons were known to be white flags
were placed, but shot and shell were no
mpectors of the appealing emblems.
Noae of the people who arrived today
could estimate with any degree of accu
racy the number of killed, but it was
thought that fifteen or twenty at least
succomed to the fire. Legitime Is by de
grees losing the confidence of the people,
and most all the sympathy is with the
north.
The agents in Xew York of the steam
ship Haytien republic are much surprised
Jat the report that their vessel will sail
from Ilayti in charge of an American
crew which sailed from here last week on
of crews to foreign ports, they would
not hare found it necessary to drag th
Galena out of the mud."
