break the speed limit just as well i

great and the notoriety as great , i
when the speed limit is broken wil
an automobile. It doesn't cost i

REBELS TAKE VITAL POINT.
Port Au Prince , Haiti , July 28. It
is rumored that Aux Cayes , President
Simon's home town , has fallen into
the hands of the revolutionists. If
this is true , it is a severe blow to
the administration.
Considerable activity is noticeable
among the soldiers in the palace
grounds , the significance of which can
not be learned but the stir is believ
ed to have some bearing on events
likely to transpire within the next
few days.
Advices from Port De Palx on the
northern coast indicate uneasiness at
that point and the American cruiser
Chester has gone there from Capo
Haitien. A crisis in the government
appears to bo gradually approaching.
It is impossible to say which revolu
tionary party wil gain control at the
capital in the event that Simon is over
thrown. Leconte , who is in control
of Cape Haitien , and is reported to
have sent a force against Gonaives
to occupy that town for him , seems
to be the strongest rebel chief out
side this district
The American warships off the
coast of Haiti began an active patrol
of the country's Bhores. The scout
cruiser Chester , which has been as
signed to safeguard foreign life and
property on the northern coast , sail
ed from Cape Haitien for Port De
Paix , where it is reported serlouo
trouble exists.
The gunboat Peorla is cruising down
the western coast. Because of rumors
of trouble nt Jeremle on the lower
western coast , the gunboat Petrel hau
been dispatched to that locality. The
Des Moines nnd Petrel will look out
for conditions in the south.
