THE HAYTI AN QUESTION.

A Talk with Ex-Mlnlster Langs ton on

the Situation.

AMERICA* TRAPE WITH HAYTI?LACK Of PRO

TECTION TO AMERICAN TEASEL*? SEED OF A

H AKHOB AND COAIJNO STATION?ADVA5TA8KS Of

A COMMISSION?FMEJfCH I>TEAXSTS IX BATTL

It is not Altogether certain thst the Appoint

ment of Mr. Douglass m minister to Hayti will

prevent the tending of commission there, as

Mr. Blsine contemplAted. The situation there

i* one of the utmost importance, and Mr.

Blaine's reasons for desiring a commission in

the first instance were excellent. By sending a

minister we recognize the government of

Legitime, but it is a mAtter of grove donbt

which faction will be at the heAd of AffAirs

when the struggle on the island is ended. It is

Also a matter of great uncertainty how far

Legitime has surrendered to French influence.

American interests are certainly terionsly threat

ened. There can be no doubt of the importance

to us to maintain an influence in the "Black

Republic," when the value of the trade in the

West Indies is considered. The money we

spend in bananas alone amounts to more than

trie value of our own entire fruit crop. The

fruit trade that is conducted in foreign vessels

has been growing steadily and rapidly for a

number of years, until the fleet is a feature of

commercial navigation. We spend more monev

there than the native banks can take care of,

and all the trade is carried in foreign vessels.
