WASHINGTON,“ July 3tI.MSec1'e
tary Lansing announced today that a
committee of public safety, organized
in PUF'I-all-Pllllctl, Ilaiti,
tl'lalge Of the capital and is conduct-
ing the defacto gowrnment. After 11
A conference with American nautl ofli-‘
eels and the char 'e d dfillllt‘s, the
committee decided upon disarmament
of the. city which began! yesterday.
With the disarming of Haitien sold-
iers and civilians at Port 1111 Prince
by American forces, it was believed
here today that. the restoration of
permanent peace in that republic wast
at hand.
It. is thought probable that before
withdrawing Its forces, the United
States Government will renew Its ef-
forts to negotiate ..a treaty with Haiti
for the administration of the cust‘h'ls
as‘ in Santo Domingo, with a provis-
ion incorporated similar to the Platt
(amendment. in the Cuban ire tv
whereby the United States wont
have the right to intervene in tile-
event of disorders. Previous efforts
to that end undertaken by Paul Ful-
ler, personal emissary of President
Wilson to Haiti, failed because he
said President Guillaume feared that
the people would rise against him if
he. signed the treaty.
A brief report from Admiral Cap-
erton said he had about four hundred.
men on shore patrolling the town in?
led.
command of Captain E. L. Beach,
who was having no difficulty in main-
taining order.

Constable Henry Selzer, agent for the

has taken clams during the past two
