Saturday, sunk tho gun boat Crete. In the service of the Flrmln lst faction- of Haytl. The Haytlans fired the vessel after eurrenderlni: to the Germans, and tho latter then poured In shot to(elnk the craft. The reason for this Is that the Haytian vessel had violated the German flag on a merchant ship. International complications, though possible, are not looked upon as probable. . CAPE HAYTCBN, Sept. 7. Tho gun boat Crete-a-Plerrot, which was In . tho service of the Flrmlnlst party, has been sunk at tho entrance of the harbor ot Gonaives by the German gunboat Panther.

Haytlen Gnnbont Was Fired by Her Crew After Surrender. PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haytl. Sept. 7. The German gunboat Panther arrived here September 5 and received instructions from the German Government to capturo the Flrmlnlst gunboat Crete-a-PIerrot. She left Immediately for ' Gonaives, the' seat ' of tho Flrmlnlst Government. The Panther found the Crete-a-Plerrot in tho harbor of Gonaives and the commander of the German gunboat informed Admiral Klllick on tho Crete-a-Pierrot that he must remove his crew and surrender "his vessel in five minutes. Admiral" Klllick asked that this time bs extended to 15 minutes. The request was granted on the condition that the arms and ammu nition on board the Crete-a-PIerrot Bhould be abandoned when her crew left her. The crew of tho Crete-a-Pierrot left that vessel amid great disorder. It the end of 15 minutes, tho Panther sent a small boat carrying one omcer and 20 sailors who were to take posses sion of the Flrmlnlst cunboat When these men had arrived at a point about 20 yards from tho Crete-a-Plerrot, names were seen to break out on board ot her. Sho had been fired by her crew before they left her. The Panther then fired on the Crete-a-Pierrot until she was com pletely Immersed. Thirty shots, all told, were fired. There Is much feeling here against tho Flrmlnlsto, and their cause Is considered to be a bad one. Soldiers are leaving here to attack St Marc. Port-au-Princo Is calm. THE TROUBLES IN HAYTI. The Vessels and the Cause of Ger man Action. The Crete-a-Pierrot was a steel-screw vessel of 950 tons displacement She was armed with one 6.7-inch disc, one 4.7-lnch. four 3.9-inch, two maxim machine guns and four Nordenfeldt machine guns. The Crete-a-Plerrot formerly was in the sen-Ice of the Haytlen Government anu Admiral iiuicK was commander or tho Haytlen fleet. On June 17 of this year. Admiral Klllick disembarked troops irom the Crete-a-Pierrot to support Gen erai Flrmin, ex-Haytien Minister at Paris and one of the candidates for tho presidency of the republic, and after re fusal to recognize tho constituted author- lues, ho threatened to bombard Capo Haytlen. The Vonsular corps protested against such action being taken, but their efforts failed of success, for a few days later tho Admiral did bombard Cape Haytlen, although little damage was done by the Crete-a-Plerrot fire. Since June 27 the Crete-a-PIerrot has been ope rating In the Interest of General Flrmin The Haytlen Goverment disavowed the action of Admiral Klllick In bombarding Cape Haytlen and ordered his arrest. Tho Panther is a steel cruiser of 997 tons. Sho was built at Danzig In 1901. and is 20G feet long. Sho Is armed with six 3.4-Inch quick-firing guns, six 1.4 inch and two machine guns. The Panther left Germany July 9 for the Caribbean Sea. Captain Scheder, the newly ap pointed German Commodore on the Amer lean Station, had an audience with Em peror William to receive special instruc tlons before starting for his post on the Panther. The present revolution in Haytl started in tho month of April, this year, and General Tlreslas Simon Sam, president of the Haytlen Republic, resigned his office and left the island in May. For the last two months American interests in Haytl have been looked after by the United States gunboat Machlas, Commander Mc Crea. It recently developed that at least six European nations had confided the protection of their ' interests in HayU wholly to the United States naval force in Hayten waters. Admiral KIlHck re cently declared Cape Haytlen to be block- aded, but this blockade was admitted to be Inefficient and was abandoned by the Admiral after Commander McCrea had made certain representations to him con cerning it. In a letter to the Flrmlnlst Ad miral. Commander McCrea Informed him that he "was charged with the protection of British, French, German, Italian, Span ish, Russian and Cuban Interests as well as those of the United States arfd that he would prevent a second bombardment of Cape Haytlen without due notice. In reply to this letter. Admiral JClllick wrote Commander McCrea promising to observe the usages of civilized warfare In case it becanie neoesaary to back with his guna the military forces operating near Cape Haytlen, and called his atten tentlon to a decree ordering the port of Haytl In a state of blockade. Commander McCrea communicated the fact of the blockade of Capo Haytlen to the Foreign Consuls there and advised, them to make a formal protest, which they did. It then became apparent that the blockade was ineffectual, as an American schooner that had come In reported no blockade. When this fact had been established Commander McCrea proceeded to Cagnette, found the Crete-a-Plerrot In that port and sent Ad miral Klllick a letter In which he said that the Government of the United States considered the blockade of Cape Haytlen not effective even as a de facto blockade, and that tho United States denied him (Admiral Klllick) the right to search any American vessel or foreign - vessel at tempting entrance to the harbor of Cape Haytlen. To .this communication Ad miral Klllick replied that ho appreciated the conditions and admitted the Inef ficiency of the blockade, which he aban doned. The blockade incident was thus closed and the Machlas sailed August 30 from Gonaives for Boston. The Crete-a-PIerrot stopped tho German steamer Markomannla, sent an armed force aboard and took posesslon of the war munitions she carried after Com mander McCrea had told Admiral Klllick that he had no right to visit or search any foreign vessel attempting- to enter Cape Haytlen, and after the Admiral had admitted his blockode to be ineffectual. There are three candidates for the presi dency of Haytl, Callzens Fouchard, Seneque Monplalslr Pierre and M. Flrmin. The Flrmlnlsts have been very "active and In some cases successful In their en gagements with the forces of the provis ional government under the command of General Alex Nord. Minister Of War under the provisional government. . M. Flrmin is considered by some people to have the best chance of gaining the presidency. In 1S99 he was Minister of Finance and Foreign Affairs in the Cabinet of Presl dent KIppolyte. He directed the negotia tions with Admiral Gberardi, who had been sent by the "Washington Government to try to obtain a release of tho Mole-St Nicholas; and he succeeded In showing that tho constitution of Hayti forbade the alienation of any portion of the ter ritory of the republic." Under President Sam In 1837, M. Flrmin was also Minister of Finance and Foreign Affairs, and in 1900. Minister of Haytl to France, where "he "vas decorated with tho ribbon of tho Legion of Honor. BETWEEN GERMANY AND HAYTI. Berlin View Not Washington's, but No Harm From That. WASHINGTON, Sept. T.-OTie .rfcstruc tlon of the Crete-a-Plerrot without doubt will be made tho subject of an official report to this Government by United States Minister Powell, who is now at Port-au-Prince. Pending the receipt of that report there Is, in the opinion of the officials who have kept In touch with Haytlen affairs, no likelihood of any ac tion by the State Department and, in deed, judging from the character of the instructions transmitted to Commander McCrea, there will be little disposition to question tho Justice of the treatment accorded Admiral Klllick. While tho State Department has not adopted the German view that Klllick was a pirate. It has, on tho basis of his own instructions to Commander McCrea, never admitted his right to interfere with foreign ehlpplng. It, however, did enter tain a doubt as to whether Klllick was not privileged to operate as he did In .the case of the Markdmannla, provided the seizure was made within the. three mile limit and thus within Haytlen waters. However, any question that might arise as to the legality of the action of the commander of the Panther, la one that the State Department will probaby re gard as solely between tho Government of Germany and of Haytl. and as the latter government has already denounced Klllick as a pirate, and had besougnt Commander McCrea to seize his ship, the Crete-a-Pierrot, it Is certain that It will make no issue in this matter. As there has been no attempt on the part of the German commander to seize any Haytlen port, of course, the Monroe Doctrine cannot be regarded aa involved in thl3 Incident, which, after all. In the opinion of officials, may tend to a speedy settle ment of the Internal troubles of Haytl Tho United States Interests so far cannot be regarded as jeopardized or Interfered with In any way. No International Complications. MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. Sept Count Quadt, secretary of the German Embassy, was seen tonight In relation to the sinking of tho gunboat Crete-a- Plerrot by the German gunboat Panther. He said that ho had not heard of the in cldent until so Informed by the Associated Press, and for this reason he was not nrenared to make any statement He said, however: "I have given the matter little thought as it Is entirely out of this conn'ry ana for that reason, I do not expect to receive advices concerning It from my govern ment While I do not care to make any prediction as to the outcome, I feel quite sure and perfectly safe in saying that no International complications will arise with this country. This Is all I care to say In regard to the affair." Says Crevr Was Drowned. PARIS, Sept. 7. A brief cablegram has been received here from Cape Haytlen dated September 7. saying the Flrmlnlst gunboat Crete-a-PIerrot had been sunk by the German gunboat Panther and that the crew of the Crete-a-PIerrot had been drowned. A dispatch adds that General Jumeau. commander of the Flrmlnlst troops in the Department of Artibonlte, has taken the town of MIrabalals. President Had Nothing to Say. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.. Sept 7. The Asoclated Press dispatch from Cape Haytlen was tonight shown to President Roosevelt while he was at church. reporter later visited the Read House, where the President is stopping. The President had retired, but Secretary Cor- telyou stated that the President had noth ing to say about the matter at the time. Attorney-General Knox in Paris. PARIS, Sept 7. Attorney-General. Knox arrived here today. Attorney-General Knox left New York August 27. He went abroad for the pur pose of obtaining a clear title to the prop erty bought by the United States from the Panama Canal Company and to Investi gate the treaty between the company and the Colombian Government which is to be transferred to the United States. ON OLD WAR FIELDS resident Sees Chickamauga and Lookout Mountain. TOO FAST FOR THE 'CAVALRY Receives Cane From Battlefield and Makes-Happy Response To Ad dress Brotherhood of Loco ! motive Firemen. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept 7. Presi dent Roosevelt was the guest of the citi zens of Chattanooga today and wa3 right royally entertained. He came to Chatta nooga primarily to attend the National Convention of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen, and tomorrow he will bo the guest jot the railroad men, but today Chattanooga a3 a whole entertained hlra. From early morning until late this even ing he was driven from one historic place to another and the details of the battles that have made this city famous were ex plained to him by men who were parti cipants in the struggles. The battlefields of Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Orchard Knob and Lookout Mountain were driven over. Tonight he attended the First Bap tist Church. The Presfuentlal train arrived here promptly at 8:30 A. M. 'There was a large crowd at the station and the President was accorded a warm welcome. A com mittee composed of Governor McMillan, Mayor Chambllss, Congressman Moon, "General H. V. Boynton, General A. P. Stewart and Captain A. P. Smart members' of the Chickamauga Park Cbmmisslon; General A. W. Wiley and Captain J. W. Shipp entered the President's car and welcomed him to the city. After the formal greetings were over, the party started in trolley cars for the Chickamauga battlefield. At the en trance to Chickamauga Park, the Seventh United States Cavalry were drawn up. The President with General Boynton, President of the Park Commission, mounted horses and after the other mem bers of the party had entered carriages the drive through the Park began. The cavalcade was hardly under way before the President started his horse at a sharp trot and for a mile and a -half led the regiment a merry chase over the battle field. The. pace was so hot that several of the troopers were unhorsed and it was necessary to call the ambulance corps into service. After Inspecting a portion of the field, the President stopped at the camping grounds of the"reglmeht and To-viewed the regiment together with the Third Battery of field artillery. The review took place near the spot' where, 39 years ago, on a Sunday morning, the Confederate brigade of General Manlgault, of HIndman's di vision, was repulsed in a desperate charge by a portion of General Wilder's brigade of cavalry. At the conclusion of the review the Seventh Cavalry went through trielr new calisthentlcs drill. The troopers, dis mounted, performed their evolutions, to the accompaniment of the band. The President at first was disinclined to wit ness a drill on Sunday, but upon its being represented tohim that the men were anxious that he should see the drill and as this was the only opportunity ha would hwe to do so, he consented. Luncheon was served soon afterwards and then divine services which the Presi dent attended, were held on the park grounds. The services were conducted by Evangelist Porter and were of a very Impressive nature. At their conclusion the President made a short address to the soldiers. He complimented them upon their soldierly appearance and also for the splendid drill they had put up. He said he had enjoyed his stay with them very much. His remarks were frequently inter rupted by handclapplng and when he con cluded the soldiers, led by Colonel Baldwin- gave him threo hearty, cheers. The President also complimented the members of Troop B, of the State Guard under command of Captain Fyffe, which formed a guard of honor at the depot and which also accompanied him on his visit to Lookout Mountain. At the conclusion of the President's remarks and as he was about to depart from the field, the sol diers called for "Garry Owen," the selec tion to the strains of which the Seventh Cavalry went Into the battle of Little Big Horn, where Custer and so many other brave men lost their lives. "Ye3, give us 'Garry Owen,' " said the Presi dent The band struck up this spirited march and rendered it amid cheers from the crowd. Cane for the President. A very pleasant incident occurred short ly before the President resumed his in spection of the- battlefield. A delegation of citizens of Georgia, headed by H. A. Harper, of Rome, presented to him a cane cut from the Chickamauga battlefield. It Is of hlckorj't with a silver Jhead and band, suitably Inscribed. On the head is the following: "Presented to President Roosevelt by citizens of the Seventh Congressional DIs trict of Georgia September 7. 1902." On tho band are the names, of the six Generals who participated in the battle of Chickamauga Longstreet, Wheeler. Hood, Rosecrans, Thonjas and Boynton. The Seventh Georgia District was the home of the President's mother, and he alluded to this fact In accepting the gift The presentation speech was made by Hon. Moses Wright, of Rome, to which the President responded as follows: "My Dear Mr. Wright I say how touched and pleased I am! I can imagine no gift that would have pleased me more than to have the young men from my mother's state present me this cane with the names of six Generals, three of whom wore the blue and three of whom wore the gray, but whose descendants and kins folk aro equally loyal to the flag as It now is. I want to mention one curious thing. You have on here General Wheel er's name. I served under him at Santi ago. General Hood fought in command of the Southern Army. One of his soldiers was in this regiment and fought with great gallantry. I am so much obliged- cannot tell you how I appreciate It No gift could have been more appropriate and given In pleasanter spirit and exactly at the right time. I thank you most warmly." Climbed Snodgrrass Tower. When he resumed bis inspection of the battlefield, the President dispensed with the cavalry escort and entered a carriage with General Boynton, Secretary Cortel you and Acting Grand Master Hannahan, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men. Snodgrass Tower, which Is 70 feet tall, was soon reached, and, notwithstand ing the warm weather, the President walked to the top, where a splendid view of the battlefield was obtained. General Boynton and Captain Smart pointed out the many points of Interest, and explained the positions occupied by the different commands. The President was greatly In terested in many of the monuments that mark the battlefield, and after reading the inscription on that erected by the State of Kentucky, had Secretary Barnes make a note of it. The trip extended through Missionary Ridge to Orchard Knob. Along the route the President frequently was greeted by groups of people, to whom he responded by raising his hat At one point on the road a number of children waved small American flags as the President pasted. When Orchard Knob was reached, the President walked through It to the trolley cars, which conveyed the party to tKe foot of Lookout Mountain. At the top of the mountain a large crowd assembled, cheering the President as he left the car. Accompanied by General Boynton and tho other members of his party, the President proceeded to Point Lookout where a magnificent view of the Valley of the Tennessee and surrounding coun try was had. Here General Boynton wel comed him In the following words: "I am glad to welcome an American President, and am doubly glad to see you, and your secretary! here, after the acci dent of lost week." The President responded with a smile and a bow. General Boynton then de scribed to the President the different ope rations connected v.ith the battles around Chattanooga. When General Boynton had concluded.- the President remarked: "It la a wonderful battlefield." Dinner was served on the mountain, and then the Presidential party returned to the city. During the progress down the mountainside a number of children threw large bunches of golden-rod to the Presi dent, who stood on the front platform of the car. He caught one of them and waved his thanks to; the little folks. An Immense crowd, assembled about the hot tel. cheered the President as he alighted. One of the incidents of the day that pleased the President very much was the meeting of three members of his old com mand, who served with him In Cuba, The President tomorrow will address the convention of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen and also the citizens of Chat tanooga. He will leave for Knoxville to morrow afternoon. EX-SENATOR ROACH DEAD Succumbed to Cancer When He Was ' Pronounced Out of Danger. NEW YORK. Sept. 7. William H.

POWDER MAGAZINE BLEW UP Killed One or More, Damaged Fort and Shook Up Boston. BOSTON, Sept. 7. One of the powder magazines at Old Fort Wlnthrop, on Gov ernor's Island, upper Boston harbor, blew up this evening with a detonation that was heard 20 miles away. One man, Albert H. Colton, of Somervllle, was killed, five others were Injured, all having flesh wounds, and two are mlslsng. The cause of the explosion Is not known. The force of the explosion Is shown by the fact that great granite blocks were hurled Into the air several hundred yards. one of the largest coming down through the center of the fort, making a hole largo enough to drive a team of horses through, All over the Island the effects of the ex plosion are visible, while In East Boston, South Boston and In the city proper, the concussion was severe enough to break windows and shake buildings to their foundations.

Tho New York Times, after looking carefully over the field, concludes that there is no present Indication that tho Democrat will be appreciably stronger in the next Senate than they are now. At the closa of the last session they had 33 members against 65 Republicans. Unless there should bo a great political overturning this Fall, the Democrats will just abouc hold their own. Elections have already been held to provide successors for three Senators whose terms expire on March, next and In two of these instances Democrats replace Republicans, Gorman succeeding Wellington In Maryland, and McCreary succeeding De Boo In Kentucky. Ala bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louis iana and South Carolina and almost cer tainly Colorado will return Democrats to succeed Democrats. Heltfeld, in Idaho, may be succeeded by a Republican, while Republicans are very certain to make gains in Kansas and Washington, and possibly Utah. The Times thinks Missouri might send a Republican to succeed Vest but Inti mates that the chance is slight. Jone3. ot Nevada, Republican, will be succeeded by Newlands, Democrat, and Pritchard, .orth Carolina Is more than likely to meet defeat, although he Is -making a stiff fight and has material assistance from the Republican Congressional Com mittee. In all other states to elect Sen ators this year Republican success is conceded, theso being California, Con necticut, Illinois, Indiana, North Dako ta, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin. What Delaware will do is problematical, but it is possible for this state, if it elects, to determine which party shall make a net gain In tho next Senate. Naturally, a Republican will succeed Mc Millan, of Michigan. Cable Keeps Up Courage. Chairman Benjamin T. Cable, of tho executive committee of the Democratlo Congressional Committee, now In Wash ington, says the prospects for the eIoc- tlon of a Democratic House this Fall are excellent, and by such a victory his party wlil have easy sailing in 1904. Ho says: "I have no sympathy with this talk which I3 accredited to some Democrats that we ought not to try to carry the next House. I am working earnestly for victory, because I believe that we ought to have the House. It is a plain fact that a Democratic House has, elnca the war, preceded the election of a Demo cratic President This statement holds good even as to 1874, for it is known that Tilden was actually elected in 1876, even though he was not allowed to- take the office. I believe that If we can win the victory this Fall we will certainly in augurate a Democratic President In 1905. Besides this, a Democratic House would be a great safeguard for the people as against further legislation along the lines of Republican policies." Jones Is Socialistic. Senajtor Jones, of Nevada, now classed as a Republican, in an Interview regard ing the President's trust speeches, makes some original comments in a decidedly socialistic tone.
