Butchery In Hayti

New York, June 9. - The West Indian steamer Orange Nassau, which has just arrived in port, bronght the first definite news of tho bloody insurrection which occurred at Port au Prince in Hayti on May 28. The outbreak was rauch more serious than was at first reported and the entire western departraent of the iaLand is now under martial law. President Hippolyte, whose government was threatened by the insurreetionists, has taken the most vigorous means to put down the rebellion and many of the rioters have been executed. The exact number of those who have been put to death is unknown, but according to the story told by the messengers on the Oranje Nassau, between fifty and one hundred had already been executed when the vessel left Port au Prince on June 2. The executions were still ffoing on at that time, and every day new victlms were taken from the prison and jhot down by Hippolyte's soldiers. The town of Port au Prince is said to be in an utterly demoralized condition and business of every kind is suspend ed pending the settlement of the trouble. The law courts are also suspended by order of Hippolyte, and private citizens, on whatever charge they may be arrested, are tried by court martial. There is no fighting in the streets to excuse this massacre. Every execution is carried out in the most coldblooded way, the executioners being soldiers belonging to the most degraded type of men, who seem to enjoy the bloody task. Day and night tho troops of Hippolyte patrol the streets, searching for persons suspected of belnL in sympathy with the insurgent party. Business is practically suspended. The bodies of the rebels shot are left lying in the streets for scveral hours as a warninf? to their friends. The ofneers of some of the Germán vessels in port went on shore to look at the dead bodies.
