U. S. MAY INTERVENE
Exporters Ask Secretary - Bryan To
Take Steps To Stop Triangular
Revolution Now in Hayti,
Western Newspaper Union News Service..
New York. A movement that may
cjystalize in radical action by the
United States with the result that this
government may intervene in Hayti
for the protection of American inter
ests in that republic, has been started
by prominent exporters who addressed
a communication to the secretary of
state requesting that immediate steps
be taken to stop the triangular revo
lution now in progress there. The Na
tional City bank recently ' made rep
resentations to the state department
that American interests in Haiti were
Imperiled because of the overthror of
President Oreste and his ministry.
The bank is heavily interested in the
railroad system in Haiti, the operation
of which has been practically sus
pended. ' .
That the revolutionists continue to
conduct a guerilla warfare in their ad
vance on Port au Prince, each leader
seeking to reach -.there first so 'as to
occupy the president's palace, i3
evidenced by code cable, dispatches
received in New York.
One of these stated that 11 la
borers who had been forced into the
revolutionary army at Trou sought to
escape to thelr"families and ay were
captured and beheaded, their heads
being nailed to posts as a warning to
their fellows. In retaliation for this
barbarism, two officers of Gen. Bel-
lard's force were assassinated by wom
en relatives of some of the victims.
