sels in the harbor. Regret is especially

expressed at the absence of a United

States warship from Port au Prince,

though the Topeka is due here.

The people are very excited and seem

determined to make a vlgoroug resistance

to the entrance of the Army of the North

into this city. The general belief is that

if Firmin persists in his intention to at

tempt to force an entry into Port au

Prince a severe engagement will follow.

PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti. May 21.—

The Army of the North, numbering about

4000 men, commanded by General Firmln,

the most powerful candidate for the

Presidency of Hayti, arrived to-day at

Arcahale, two days' march from here.

The provisional Government has sum

moned all citizens to defend the capital,

and as a result the entire population of

Port an Prince is now under arms.

The conference report on the agricult

ural bill was agreed to. Bacon of Georgia

then resumed his speech begun yesterday

on the Philippine bill. Adverting to the

policy of concentration he referred to the

camps, as reconcentrado camps, and

SpOoner inquired if. It was his purpose to

fasten upon the American army the odium

of Weylerlsm. He said the term recon

centrado stood for a policy of infamy,

which was not the purpose of General

Bell in issuing the concentration order and

he believed Bacon knew that the general

had no such purpose.

Bacon said he had^ called attention "to

this matter simply to show the American

people what were the results of the Phil

ippine policy in. order that, understanding

it, they might be induced to abandon* it.
