The main water supply to Port au Prince has been cut off by the revolutionists; they have been informed by the diplomatic corps that it must be repaired at once, as their action is a violation of the armistice. The Government is attempting to obtain all available funds from the bank and has been advised by the diplomatic corps that the armistice comprehends no movement by military or naval forces nor any withdrawal of funds from banks, and that the regulation of current expenses will be a matter for future Governments. The diplomatic corps will use every endeavor to embark the President at the earliest possible moment and arrange a committee to protect the city, as otherwise there is grave danger.
