“SEETHING WITH REVOLUTION.”

HAYTI AGAIN IN TURMOIL.

NEWEST WARSHIP OUT OF ACTION

The West Indian Republic of Hayti is again seething with revolution. At a place called Trou the Government troops had an encounter with rebels, in which the former came off second best. The soldiers were completely routed and retired in disorder. To add to the Government’s troubles, the newest warship has sprung a leak, and is making so much water that she is practically out of action. Several prominent Germans who had been actively identifying themselves with the insurrectionary movement have had to quit the Republic. President Simons threatens that he will call upon the United States to intervene unless work on the railway line now in course of construction across the island is permitted to proceed.

COURAGEOUS GENERALS--

RUN AWAY PROM REBELS

The revolutionists in Hayti are apparently having things all their own way.

Latest telegrams report that they have entered Cape Haytian, a seaport 85 miles from the capital, and are pillaging the city.

The generals in command of the opposing forces are declared to have fled before the rebels and taken shelter in the foreign consulates

Some fighting took place, but the presidential troops made only a feeble resistance, and finally embarked 'under a heavy hail of bullets. The populace have since declared themselves for the revolutionists.
