Port Au Prlnco gulct.
Washington, Aug. 1.?French ma?
rines have been landed at Port o
Prince. Haiti, where a revolution that
overturned the government last week
necessitated the landing of nn expe
dltlonary force from the Fnlted States
cruiser Washington to restore order.
The landing of the French was with
consent of the United States, it was
stated tonight, a detachment from
the cruiser I >i near tee having been
sent to guard vhe French legation
from which President Guillaume was
taken by a mob and assassinated.
The' French minister at Port au
Prince expressed an urgent desire
that his legation be guarded by
French sailors Inasmuch as the Des?
cartes had arrived. He thought al;
a French guard would lighten the
burden on Admiral Caperton's 400
men.
Port au Prince was reported quiet
today. The battleahip Connecticut
with 500 marines is en route to the
Island republic and will be followed
by the hospital ship Solace and the
? navy transport Hancock. Other rein?
forcements may be sent it there are
any more attacks on the city by rev?
olutionists, who killed two American
bluejackets.
The expeditionary force is expected
to remain in Haiti until lasting peace
is restored.

Autonomy for the Poles Is Declaration
by Premier in Name of the Eni|>cr
or Chief Feu tu re of Session.
Petrograd, August 1.? (Via Lon?
don, August 2).?The iirst sitting of
DUM today promised work aiming at
promoting the production of military
supplies and meeting military require
ents, rather than oratory recrimina?
tions or effort to discos er those re?
sponsible for failure to realize earlier
hopes. Tho temper of Deputies was
moderate. Party differences were
minimized, there was an absence of
gloom and also of factional enthus?
iasm. Speeches of the president ot
the chamber, M. Kodizanko, and the
ministers were applauded from both
tho right and the left. The Polish
people, tho allies, tho ambassadors
and Gen. Ruzsky, tho commander
in the Galiciun campaign, were cheer?
ed. The outstanding feature of the
session was the declaration in the
name of the Emperor by the premier,
M. Oorellykin, that the Poles shall
receive autonomy. Announcement that
amnesty had been granted Vladimir
Hourtzeff Houtsff, the revolutionist,
who returned from Paris for hospital
service, but was immediately arrested,
was well received.
Confident of Victory.
London, Aug. 1.?A Reuter dispatch
from Petrograd says, "the Duma was
opened today by Imperial ukase in
the presence of a brilliant assem?
blage, including cabinet ministers and
members of the diplomatic corps.
Michael Vladimirovitch Rodzianko,
president of the chamber, in conven?
ing the session said the more terrible
the aar became the more Kussia was
Imbued by the lirm and unshakable
determination to bring it to a success?
ful Issue. "This," said M. Kodzianko.
"necessitates complete unity of all
classes and the developments of the
productive resources of the Empire."
M. Kodzinako asked members of the
chamber to^mako suggestions to the
governmentias to how this could be
effected. "Trio president greeted dip?
lomatic representatives of Triple En?
tente powers, who were cheered by
memtxTH and by tho galleries, "The
nrmv." M. Rodzianko concluded, "setH
up s brilliant example of now to fv:l
flll our duty to tho country. U Is now
our duty to work ''ay and Ittgtit to,
supply Ihlf army With everything it
needs, hut to Uo thai u is iu*tfdsui y iu
mnke changes. We will tight until the
complete ruin of the enemy is ac?
complished."
Sergius Sasonoff, tho foreign min?
ister, after reiterating that all the evi?
dence shoWed that Russia and her al?
lies were not responsible for the war,
reviewed the political situation. He
referred amid cheering to Italy's par?
ticipation. "These people," he said,
"long have wished to free their fellow
countrymen from the foreign yoke. If
the example of Italy had been follow?
ed by the other States it would have
contributed to the speedy conclusion
of the war."
Tho war minister, If, Polivanoff.
said: "At this moment tho enemy is
concentrating enormous forces against
Russia and is successively enveloping
the territory and military districts of
Warsaw, tho otrateglc contour of
which always has been the weak point
of our western frontier. Under the
circumstances we, perhaps, should
yield to the enemy a portion of this
region, falling back on positions
whero our army will prepare for a re?
sumption of the offensive. All's well
that ends well, 181- was proof of
that. We shall today, perhaps, give
up Warsaw as then we gave up Mos?
cow In order to Insure llnal victory."

Re-established.
_ ?
Washington, Aug. 1.?Announce?
ment of tho reoeeuption of Mexico
City by Gen. Gonzales's army was (oil
lowed today by a statement from Gen.
Carranza's headquarters at Vera Cruz
that immediate efforts would be
made to send foodstuffs to the starv?
ing" population. Heavily guarded
trains, it was asserted, were being
prepared to leave Vera Cruz With pro?
visions to supplement food being" tak?
en Into the city by the urmy of occu?
pation. Washington otlicials hoped
Gen. Gonzales had left the line so
well patrolled that the trains would
get through with slight delay. They
said the United States was determin?
ed to relieve the famine in Mexico
City if Carranza's forces could not do
it.
Information of Carranza's plans
came to his Washington agency In a
message from Jesus Acuna, Car?
ranza's foreign mildster, wdio an?
nounced that the railroad between
Queretaro and Agues Calientes, con?
necting Gonzales with Gen. Obregon's
forces, would be reopened.
The message said: "In addition to
the supplies which Gen. Pablo Gon?
zales will carry with him into the City
of Mexico at the present occupation,
the Constitutionalist Government has
arranged for the sending in of 1,200
tons of additional supplies. These sup?
plies are supplemental to the large
quantities of relief materials hereto?
fore detained en route by reason of
tho necessitious military operations
incident to the regaining and preser?
vation of control of railway connec?
tion from the coast to the capital. The
public services for the food distribu?
tion will be reopened at once.
"Civil administration has been re?
instated at Queretaro and civil em?
ployees of the Constitutionalist Gov?
ernment are being moved from Quere?
taro to Aguas Calientes and to points
intervening between that important
centre and Queretaro. This re-estab
lishment of communication reunites
the armies of Obrogon and Gonzales
by telegraphic and railway links."

Since the announcement that Gen.
Gonzales drove Villa's Hying column
under Gen. Flerro from Pachuca lit?
tle has been heard of ibis southern
division of Villa's army. Villa's agen?
cy issued a statement tonight de?
claring that the Hying column was op?
erating In "the States of Hidalgo, I
Vera Cruz, Puebla and Mexico." In
this case it may be able to menace
the railroad tO Verfa Cruz. The
agency denied claims of a defeat for
(Jen. Villa in the vicinity of Torreon.
< mregon'S forces have not advanced,
the statement said. The Carranza
agency issued a summary of its ad?
vices tonight, saying that Torreon had
been evacuated by the Villa forces,
who, they declared, were retiring to

Cracked end Repair Work and Btocfc
Badly Danmged or Deatroyed?
Fire last night caught in Folsom's
Jewery store and damaged fixtures,
stock and building to in extent esti?
mated at not less than $2,000, al?
though the damage may exceed this
amount by several thousand! of dol?
lars, when everything is straightened
out. The cause of the lire is un?
known.
Catching near the floor in the rear
Wall Of the store the fire made its
way up toward the coiling, which it
had reached when discovered, but
which it did not burn through. The
rear wall of the store separating the
jewelry department from Miller Elec?
tric Company, which occupied the re?
mainder of the building was badly
burned and the walls and ceiling on
both sides were scorched and badly
damaged by the heat and smoke.
Practically every one of the numerous
handsome show cases had the glass
cracked and much of the glassware,
chinaware and other such articles
were cracked by the lire.
All of the windows of the store
were cracked by the heat and the
doors were broken In the efforts to
get Into the store. A large quantity
of clocks and such stock belonging to
the store was destroyed, as was a
largo number Of the articles left in
the store to be repaired. Most of the
repair tools were ruined. The silver 1
and crockery were? Blackened by the
smoke, but much of this can be clean- ]
ed and replaced In good condition.
Mr. L. W. Folsom, the owner of the
store, was notified of lire by the po- [
lice. He stated this morning that he j
could not imagine how it originated,
as there were no rats In the store and
as far as he knew, no defective wiring.
He stated that there was sufficient in?
surance on the building to more than
cover the loss on it, but the insur?
ance on stock and fixtures will not
cover the loss on them. He will move
his store into a nearby building un?
til repairs can be made <>n his build
ing.
