Tho situation between tho Haytien government and France has become acute and criti cal. The French Legation at Port Au Prince is menaced and a general massacre of the white residents of tho islands is feared. This informa tion was conveyed In an official dis patch to tho Foreign Office by M. Carteron, the French minister to Hayti. The latter part of last week, M. Borno, the Haytien minister of state, assured M. Carteron that Haytl would agre to allow tho refugees who had taken asylum in the French Consulates at Gonalves and St. Marc to leave the Island. This morning there came the news of the execution at Port Au Prlnco on Sunday of between 10 and 12 prominent persons on the charge of conspiracy against the government, together with a cablegram from M. Carteron announcing that General Nord AlexlB the president of Hayti, had not only refused to confirm the assurances given M. Borno, but had flatly declined to permit the refugees In the consulates to depart. Eleven additional persons nave taken asylum at the French Lega tion. The French crulBer Destrees is expected very Boon at Gonalves. where she will act In co-operation with the British and German ships of war now on their way to Haytl. It is understood here that France, Germany and Great Britain are act ing In accord in this matter. General Antonor Fimln, who led the last revolt of Hayti, Is among: the refugees under the French flag. The foreign office recognizes that tho general and his followers are revo lutionists but declines to hand them over to the Haytien government on the ground that there were no as surances that the men would have a legal trial. In this connection it was explained that, according to French tradition, any man who sought ref uge under the French flag should have at least temporary protection. The Temps has specials from Port Au Prince saying that the local sit uation is grave. General Nord Alexis claims that the plot against him was hatched at the French Legation and an attack upon the Legation is fear ed, tho correspondent says, because Carternon, the French minister, declines to deliver the refugees un der the French agreement to the Haytien authorities. A dispatch from Port Au Prince states that President Nord Alexis haa consented to allow the refugees in the French Legation to leave the Is land but that henceforth rebels tak ing refuge In the Consulates will be removed by force If they are not sur rendered. The dispatch says it appears that the situation is likely to be still fur ther complicated. Everyone dreads the possibility of a messacre of the Europeans by the Haytien troops on the arrival of the warships. The dispatch declares that it is understood that Germany will take action if the government executes more rebels. President Nord Alexis, however, seems quite unmoved at the prospect of a naval demonstra tion. The total number of men exe cuted Is not given. booms on Grays Harbn" -Flro, ronds noxt week.
