received advices to-day concerning the recent

revolutionary outbreak in Hayti in two dis

patches from the American Minister, Mr. Fur

niss. at Port-au-Prince. ‘In the first dispatch

Mr. Furniss said that the towns of Gonaives and

&t. Marc were in the hands of the insurgents,

that there was a battle, and that the rebels were

repulsed.

The second dispatch, received at 2:30 p. m.

to-day, said that Mr. Furniss had had an in

terview with President Nord, who had insisted

on bombarding St. Marc.

Lieutenant Commander Marvell had protested

against the bombardment until a reasonable

time had been allowed in which to move the

women and children and non-combatants from

the port.

An election for members of the House of Rep

resentatives is going on in Hayti, and the excite

ment incident to the campaign is believed to

have caused the troubles which have culminated

in the revolutionary outbreak. Next year the

House will elect a President. The election will

last for almost a week.

Lieutenant Commander Marvell, of the con

verted gunboat Eagle, reported to the Navy De

partments to-day from St. Mare, on the north

shore of the island, that a party of revolution

ists had landed there, that an engagement had

followed with the government troops, and that

some of the combatants had been killed, but

that no Americans were among the number.

Apparently the commander of the Eagle did not

attach much importance to the affair, becausa

he started immediately with his ship for Guan

tanamo.
