PoiiT-vt-Pnixrn , Aug. 23. The corre
spondent of the Associated press
reached hero by the royal steamer
Prlnz of the Hondrick , which nrrlved the
evening of August G. The mails to the
United States nro very Irregular. This gees
by the Hrst steamer since my arrival. Dr. J.
I ) . Torres , consul and acting United States
minister , says that since the present govern
ment came into poxver there has never been
less cause for alarm that nn outbreak could
In any measure provo successful than nt
present.
There Is absolutely no foundation for any
statement that General Hippolyto or his gov-
ormcnt has acted in the outrageous Banner
presented in United States Journals during
July. President Hippolyto , ho says , is sin
cere in his dcsiro to do right , but ho xvill not
tolerate the slightest attempt to weaken bis
authority.
If ho had been assassinated on May 28 the
city would have been In ( lames In less than
half an hour. Probably thousands xvould
bnx'o lost their lives , and looting xvould have
been rampant.
According to people here , xvho oucht to bo
ijuallficd to judge tbo personal nnd political
chaiacter of Hippolyto , ho has been painted
far too black. Tbo bloodthlrstiness nnd
maniacal outbreaks attributed to him
from tlmo to tlmo have no place in his
nature , according to tnoso xvho best
knoxv him. At n diplomatic intervioxx * , not
long ago , n person xvho xvas present , says
that tlio tears canio to the eyes of Hippolyto
xvheu the conversation touched on the crimes
attributed to him.
At the same Intorvioxv Hippolyto said : "I
am pledged to peace , and I am strongly de
termined to preserve peace In my unhappy
country. "
Assurance is given by diplomats , capital
ists and business men generally thnt until
the affair of May 2S the present gox'ernmont
hnd been extraordinarily patient. It has
permitted full liberty of the press
nnd full liberty generally. These con
cessions xvero repaed by scurril
ous criticisms and niisrcproscntasions of
tbo president's nets and these of his
ministers. Contempt nnd scorn Hippolyto
bore xvith equanimity for some time , but
xvhon there began to uo indications of open
defiance ho gave xvarning that ho proposed
to tnko severe measures to uphold his
authority. Nobody affected to believe it
until It was too late. Noxv that Hippolyto Is
on his mottle , the malcontents nro proving
that they can bo very quiot.
The people In Hnyti from all accounts , are
beginning to tire of endless revolutions nnd
causeless bloodshed.
The publication of Mr. John D. Motzgor's
pamphlet , ' 'Tho American Question in
Hayti , " hns aroused considerable attention.
The charges made against Admiral Gherardi ,
Mr. Reed , Mr. Clyde ami Lieutenant Hughes
are considered very grave. Mr. Motzgor la a
citizen of Noxv York , mid hns been for eleven
years American consul nt Gonnlvns.
Mr. Mot/gor , xvno is now hero , assured the
Associated press correspondent that ho had
made no charges without proof. Ho thought
a scandalous and outrageous method had
been resorted to by our government in its
dealings xvltb the Hiiytian government on
tha question of tbo mole of St. Nicholas.
Whllo unbroken trnnquility prevails. It Is
still true that there Is an undercurrent of
unrest nud uncertainty as to the future.
General Hlppol.vte Is complacontlj waiting.
If an outbreak occurs he is coiilldout ho can
crush It.

pion of the colored cnmps.

Frank Spicso , asking that nt tomorroxv's ses
sion the floor Stephen Gibson bo granted the
floor for the purpose of shoxving why colored
men should also bo accorded the privileges of
the order.
The motion xx-as vigorously opposed by
Joseph \ \ illinms of Denver , who said ho xvas
opposed to admitting any ono to the assembly
xvho was not a member duly accredited to the
present convention.
After a good bit of parleying it xvns finally

The train then started and xvben the state

FAIIIIIIVKV , Vt. , xvas reached at 10 o'clock.
The president xvas Introduced and proceeded
to make a few remarks , ana spoke as follows :
"My Fclloxv Citizens : Wo have already
lost some minute" at your station and It will
not bo possible for mo to hold the train
longer. 1 thank you for this friendly greet
ing and for the kindness xvhlch beams from
the faces of these contented nnd happy men
nnd xvomen of the great stnto of Vermont. I
am glad to sco about mo the evidences of the
indomitable pluck and successful enterprise
xvhlch characterizes so highly nil of your
Now England states. When you found the
stones too thlcK to mnko agriculture
profitable you compelled the rocks to yield
you a subsistence , nnd tbo great slnto nnd
marble industries bavo become centers of
worthy nnd prosperous communities. You
nro hero , oaoh In his own place , these good
Indies In thnt supremely influential position
the American homo and you , my country
men , In tbo shops nnd In the Holds , making
contributions to the prosperity and tbo glory
of this great nation. It is pleasant to knoxv
that the love of country , ' stimulated by the
teaching of the father and of the mother ,
revived by these recollections of the flrst
struggle for independence , deepened by
the sacrifices which xvoro made In the
civil xvar to preserve xvhnt our fntbors hnd
purchnsed for us , nro still holding sxvay in
the hearts of our pooplo. SVo are conspicu
ously a people abiding in rospcct nnd honor
for the Inxv. The Inw ns expressed in our
constitution nnd In our statute books Is the
sovereign tovhom xvo nil boxv. We nc-
knowledge no other. To the law each and
every ono should clvo his undivided allegi
ance'and bis faitbiul service. There js no
other rule that xvlll bring and maintain In
our communities that peaceful and orderly
condition , that good neighborhood and kindly
intercourse xvhlch is so essential to the hap
piness of any community. I atn sure that
these things noxv , as of old , char
acterize these Nexv England communi
ties , whore the strife , xvhich your
colder climate and your soil compel you to
make for your substance , bus bred habits of
thrift , economy nnd Indoponcenco and the
love of liberty xvhich , I nm sure , is as fade
less as the stnrs. | Applause. ] Thanking you
for this pleasant morning reception I will
bid vou good bye. " [ Applause. ]
When the train reached Castloton n largo
croxvd bad assembled , awoitincr the presi
dent's arrival. The president xvas intro
duced to tbo people and spoke briefly ns fol
lows :
"Lndios nnd Gentlemen It is very pleas
ant to moot hero , mingling with the citizens
of this neighborhood the pupils of your nor
mal school. Ono of the most influential
characters in the history of the Unltod
States is the Noxv England school
teacher. If xvo could follojv the track
of those intelligent men and women
who having gone out from the Noxv England
states , to the xvest and southwest , if xvo
could trace these strong , yet slender nnd
hnrd-to-bo-discovorod threads of inlluonco
xvhlch they have .started In the communities
to xvhlch they wont : if xvo could know hoxv
they Impressed on tbo minds of the pupils
brought under their care the great lessons of
self-respect and love for free institutions and
social order , xvo should have n higher thought
than xvo over hud yet of the poxvor and dig
nity of the pioneers of education. "
A short stop was made at Mlddlcsbury ,
xvhoro the president favored these xvho xvoro
nt the station to welcome him xvith ono of
his characteristic speeches , as folloxvs :
"Mj Fellow Citizens : Thotigl * I have not
baa the pleasure of looking into the faces of
many of you , Vermont has for many years
familiar to nio and has been placed high In
my esteem by the acquaintance I had formed
nt Washington xvltb the representatives you
Imvo sent there. It has been a great pleasure
to me to knoxv vour esteemed folloxv citizen.
Governor Stoxvurt. Your state mm district
and the nation nt largo have had in him a
most able and faithful champion of all that
xx-as true , and clean , and right. [ Three
cheers xvoro given for Govornar Stewart ] .
You have been particularly fortunate , I
think , In your reprosiontatix'os at Wash
ington , ns I had occaslot to say the
other day at Rcnnington. I nm
glad to bo hero nt tbo site
of this Institution of learning , MIddlobury
college , which Is soon to complete its hun
dredth year of modest yet ofllcipnt service In
training the minds of your men for useful
ness in lifo. These homo institutions , In
which these able nnd faithful men assidu
ously give themselves and tholr lives to the
building nnd development of the Intelligence ,
nnd not only that but of tno moral side of
your young men , are bulxx'arks of strength to
your state and your community , They cnn-
not bo too highly esteemed nnd hon
ored by you , because , my countrymen ,
lings may rule over nn Ignorant
people , nnd , by their Iron control , hold them
in subjection nnd in thoqutctnossot tyranny ,
but a free land rests upon the Intelligence of
Its people and bus no other safety than In
well rounded education nnd thorough moral
training. [ Cries of "Good ! Good ! " and
applause. 1 Again I thank you for this cordial
greeting xvhlcli Vermont Rives mo this morn
ing , and to these comrades nud friends I
extend a greeting and good wishes. " [ Ap
plause. ]
Again at Vergonnoss the presidential train
was stopped , and thu president spoke as fol
loxvs :
"My Fellow Citizens : I bavo hud , as you
know , some experience in this business of
speaking from the end of n railroad train , but
It has Boomed to mo this morning that these
Vermont towns nro closer together than on
tiny other route I bavo over traveled ,
[ Laughter. ] Porbnps It is because your
state is not very largo nnd you have had to
put your towns close together In order to got
them all. [ Laughter. ] I have Heard an In
teresting story ol tbo origin of this city of
Vorgcnnus. I suppoio it xxas ono of the ear
liest instances in the history of our country ,
if not the very first , of a city bolng con-
structcd upon piper before i it xvas built upon
the ground. [ Laughter. ] Thnt has como to
bo quite n familiar practice In these late days
of speculation , but it Is singular that a city
charter nnd the nmplo corporate limits
of ono mlle square should have been
given to Vergonness before this century
began. If the expectations of tbo founders
of this city haven't boon realized fully you
have moro than -valUed all the thoughts of
Ethan Allen and his contemporaries In the
greatness and prosperity of your stnto and in
the richer glory and higher greatness of the
nation of xvhlch you nro n part. I am glad
this morning to look into the contented faces
of another audience of Now England people ,
i'ou xvoro b'fcatlv disparaged in the estima
tion of some of our pootilo before tbo civil
war , There bad spread , unfortunately , over
the minds of our southern brethren the
Impression that you wcrq so much
given to monev , to thrift and to toll
that your hnmls had forgotten hoxv to fight.
It was n most wholesome lesion , xvhon the
whole country learned again , In the gallant
charges t-rf stuboorn re-slitonco of the Ver
mont brigade , thnt the old Noxv England
spirit still lived , that Pnitl Hovero still rode
the highways of Nexv England , and that the
men of Concord , i oxlngton and Uennlngton
still ploxvcd their Holds. IAppInu.se. ] I nm
glad to meet you this bright , Joyous morning.
Accept my most heartfelt thanks for your
friendliness , " [ Applause. ]
At 11:15 : Burlington xvas reached. Senator

Senator Edmunds , xvhoro luncheon xvas

After luncheon tbo prcsldoht xvns taken to
the public square , xvhere the people xvoro

of power or to the blandishments \\-eather. .
Ho xvas glad , ho said , to bo present at the

"My folloxv citizens : It Is true ,

"Sly follow citizens : I four that tnr volco

Urnnudnon Sunday xvns the sconoof a coup
do main by which President Koborto Sacasa
tried to rid himself of bis most prominout op
ponent ? , and. at the same tltuu. nip In the
bud a possibly groxving revolution. The gen-
tlomcn arrested Inclmlo two ox-prosldents of
i-"iragua ; ! and the editor and owner of the
most Important daily Journal in the country.
Cranium is practically in a state of siege and
the troops hero at tbo capital itro conttnod to
the barracks. In addition , the opposition to
President Sacasa is groxvlug daily and affairs
are assuming critical positions.
For many years vigorous rivalry has
existed betxx-oen the ancient city of Leon and
the more modern Granada , and botxvoon the
progressists , xvhosc headquarters are at
CUunada and the Roman Catholic party ,
xvhoso strongholds are Loon anU Mnnngua.
Granada for many terms past has furnished
the country with the prostdnnt , but at the
last election , by undue mentis , the progress
ists claim , Sacasa , a Leon man xvas chosen
president. Saeasn bad previously been a
senator and on the somewhat mysterious
death of President Gnnuo , txvo years ago ,
last October , Senator Sacasa xxfas duly chosen
to 1111 out the unfinished term. This xvas not
approved by the progressists party , and Pres
ident Sacasa became iiioro and more unpopu
lar as it became known that he. backed up by
the Leon , or church party , had
determined to leave no stone unturned
to bring about his election to the
presidency. In spite of the opposition party
and the lncr"as > lng unpopularity of his ad
ministration , Sacasa succeeded In his ambi
tious plans and November last xvas elected
president. Naturally this only served still
further to embitter the feeling existing oo-
txveon the progressists and the church party.
It xvas xvhlspercd that an attempt would bo
made by force of arms to oust Sacasa from
the presidency , and ho apparently deter
mined to do his utmost to prevent the pro
gressists from bringing about his downfall.
But no trouble was anticipated until the
elections , which are to be held in November ,
and very foxv people anticipated that Sacasa
xvould attempt a coup do main in Granada
itself.
Ono of the great complaints made against
the Loon party and their representative ,
President Sacasa , Is thnt they .bold , the po
llco and soldiers , xvho carry a rlllo and
bayonet , though they xvear no shoes , in their
power and use them to control the elections.
Moreover , one of the reforms promised by
Sacasa xvben a candidate for re-election xvns
a thorough reform of the police system.
People wore to bo able to xvalk in safety in
the streets at night and the police xvero not
to interfere at elections.
The spys employed by the administration
seem to have pointed out ox-President Gen
eral Cbamorro , ox-President GoneralJoaquln
Zavnla , Don Ansolmo Hlvas , editor and pro
prietor of the Diaro Nic.iraguanozo of Gran
ada , the organ of the progressists party and
the loading noxx-spaper of Nicaragua , Don
Enrique Guzman and Don J. D. Iloderlgtiez ,
formerly uttnshod to the Nicaragua ! ! loca
tion at Washington , as the most dangerous
leaders of the progressist party In Granala.
Consequently , after taking every precaution
to got up a rox-olutlonary outbreak , 1'rosldcnt
Sucasa determined suddenly to arrest these
gentlemen and oxllo them , under puin of
being instantly shot should they return.
This .plan xvas executed Sunday. The men
ubovo mentioned xvero most unexpectedly
in-rusted on tbo charge of conspiring against
the government and xvor" taken to the quar-
tol. Their arrest caused great excitement in
Granada and a vigorous attempt to rescue
them was made. The auartol xvas attacked ,
the soldiers xvoro fired upon , tno latter re
turning the fire and a number of each side
xvoro killed and xvoundod. The exact num
ber of casualties is not known , but it is
reported that the chief ofllcer of the pollco
and at least six soldiers xvoro killed , and that
some llfty citizens x\ore shot.
General Ohamorro and the other prisoners
xvero subsequently brought to Managua
under a strong puard , and Granada xvns
placed In u state seigo pending the subsiding
of popular feeling.
The Important prisoners vestordav xvoro
sentenced to bo escorted across the frontier
and ordered never to return under penalty of
death.
The prisoners xvill bo secretlv taken to the
frontier , but to xvhat point and whether on
the Honduras or Cola Itlca coast , is not gen
erally Itnown Possibly the prisoners xvill
bo nlloxvcd to embark on some vessel at
Corlnto.
Tbo Ctuimarro , X.nvnlaand Guzman families
are among the most wealthy and important
in Nicaragua , and consequently the urrost
causes great oxcitomout.
It , Is known that. In addition to the arrests
Just made , other persons are under surveil
lance. People would not bo astonished if
some member of the Cardenas and of the
Lacnya families xvcro also to full under the
president's ' displeasure.
General Hnx'ala xvas succeeded In the pres
idency by IJr. Cardenas ; the latter xvus suc
ceeded uv President Garazo , mid ho , as
already explained , oy Sacasa. It xvould thus
appear that the ox presidents of Nicaragua
are not in favor with the present ndmiuUrra-
tlon.
General Zax-aln will bo remembered by
Americans us the cause of the abandonment
of the banquet which xvas to have been
tendered to ox-Senator Warner Miller xvhllo
the liittor was In this country recently. To
such nn extent does the general carry parti
san feeling that xvhon ho xvas Informed that
members of the church party had boon in
vited to the proposed entertainment , ho an
nounced that ho xvould not sit nt the suii'o
table xvlth thorn. This led to a heated dis
cussion and the abandonment of the banquet.
The present political troubles do not affect
the progress of the work on the maritime
canal , though Don Uodorlguos , one of the
gentlemen expelled , is known to have boon a
bitter enemy of the American enterprise.
This opposition , liowevor , is said to bavo
grown from a snubbing which Don Hodor-
Iguoz thought ho received fromtho | American
soorutary of state xvhllo bo xvas attached to
the Nicaragua ! ! legation at Washington.
Amorlcani In this country will feel much
more comfortable xvhon the noxv United
States minister , Colonel Hlcbard C. Shan
non of Now York , reaches hero. It Is re
ported ut American circles that Minister
Shannon xvill nrrlx'o nt Oroytown shortly on
board the gun boat Petrol , and that tbo ves

forxvardod his resignation to the board of di
rectors at Noxv York. No action can bo taken
upon it until the 11m mooting of the board in

Mr. Moffat this evening said that his action
xvas duo to the fact that ho is not in accord

noxv order of things by longer remaining as

almost four vears Mr. Moffnt has had charge
of the road and In that time ho has changed
the gango of almost the entire system from

Nr.w YOIIK , Aug. 2ft. The Herald has fur
ther Valparaiso cables , under date of August
21 , relative to the buttle of the congressional
nnd linlnmcedlsl'd forces , as folknv.s :
Darkness stopped the battle at Vina Del
Mar beach , opposite thU city , which raged
hotly all day yesterday , before any decisive
icctilt xvas reached , and , like the gladiators ,
the contesting armies rested to.lny nnd
worked hard to get themselves in tha best
possible condition for the Until bout xvhlch
must soon decide the mustory of Chill.
IJatmncoda's line of defense yesterday xvns
strorgly fortlllcd and was under the range
of the guns from Fort Callao. Whllo many
of his troops xvcro io\v recruits , there xvas a
leaven of veterans among them.
Time alter time the rebels dashed against
the lines of the government troops only to bo
repulsed with great bloodshed. They xvoro
not the only sufferers , uoxvoyer , for their ar
tillery played xvith telling effect on the on-
cmy , and their rllles xvero not useless In their
Hands. Attack and repulse xx'oro repeated
time after tlmo , xvlth no decided advantage
on either side. The most desperate valor xvns
alsplayud by veteran and iccrult , liahna-
codlsts and revolutionists.
There xvas llttlo regret on cither side when
darkness came down and stopped the bloody
xvork.
Under cover of a Hag of truce , the ambulance -
bulanco nnd hospital corps of the opposing
armies xvoro busy during the night searching
thu Ik-Id for xvoundod and caring for thorn.
When morning broke It XXMS expected the
light would be repeated. Both armies had
suffered severely , hoxx'over , and neither ap
peared to bo in n position to ntsumc the
offensive , nnd a practical tuico today , xvlth
no lighting , has been Hie result.
Neither side has been idle however , during
the day. Scouting parties of the Insurgent
armies have been scouring tbo country for
supplies nnd ono of them cut the railroad to
Santiago at Salto.
The government forcoi have boon strength-
cning their lines and maneuvering to got It
to n position which xvill preclude any sue-
cessful attempt on the part of the enemy to
got into the roar of the city of Valparaiso.
Will Attempt a I'M link Movement.
It is generally believed that General Canto ,
the general commanding the rebels , xvill at
tempt a Hank movement xvhon ho resumes
operations , and against this the Unlmaccd-
Ists are doln ? ox'orything in their power to
frustrate.
In the face of an army equal In valor , ns
xvcll as led and equipped , and nt least equal ,
If not superior. In numborj , to force the line
of forts witn their heavy guns manned by-
expert veteran gunners defending Valparaiso
from the north , consisting of Forts Callao ,
Podotto , Andes and Valparaiso , is a task to
daunt the most confident general , and If by
any means the Halmaccdan army can bo
Hanked and the insurgents can make good a.
position in tbo rear of the city , they xvill , In
the opinion of the foreign naval oftlcers hero ,
do It.
Insurgent General Canto Is n veteran of
the Peruvian war , wuoro ho did gallant nnd
olfcctivo service. Ho knows tno country nnd
reali/its that If ho can got his heavy gnus on
the hills back of the city ho xvill not only have
n position xvhich is practically improirnablo
from the attacics of any force xvhlch can bo
brought against him , but which xvill enable
him to batter down the city nt his xvill.
Having bi'on unaulo by yesterday's light to
capture the village ol Vlua Del Mar , and
isolate Fort Callao , and thus cnptuiu it , he
xvould naturally attempt this Hank move
ment. That hi ) will uo able to do so xvlthout
harder lighting than even Hint of Friday nnd
yesterday , if at all , is not to bo thought of.
Valparaiso Is quiut today. All the busi
