as tbe triumph of the Haytien revolutionists Is
assured.
galaave Proclaimed Emparor-ffhi Vw
Una! Political Partita.
Kingston, Jamaica, July 14. Things In
11 u j tl ut the latest advices (luly 9) bad become
Desperate in tbe extreme. Murders were fre
quent, and foreigners were rather freely dis
posed of. In consequence complications were
Inevitable,
Halnave bad proclaimed himself Emperor of
Hayti.
On Sunday, July 6, processions of the lower
classes paraded tbe streets of Porl-au-Prlo.ce,
shouting, "Vive l'Empereur I Vive Halnave!"
Five lnburgent leaders from tbe vicinity of
Leogoane were shot without trial on tbe after
noon of tbe 6tb.
Tha two parties now at war in Hayti are
known by the expressive titles or "i,lzarus"
and "Cacos." The first support Halnave, while
tbe second, known as well, bitterly oppose
him. These names originated during the car
nival a few years back, when politics found
vent in songs to the neat of tbe drum. In oirte
of these souks occurred the following lines:
Dere Is no bouse
lie Lizard dou't lib in!
Dere is no tree
Oe Lizard don't climb In!
This was interpreted to mean that there was
no position to which tbe laborers of liayll
might not aspire, and this doggerel, having
been Bet to a popular air, was sung with great
zest by all tbe lower orders of society; the chil
dren of tne upper classes learned it from tbelr
nurses. The lizard affords an excellent idea of
insignificance coupled with skill and agility.
Tbe higher class party found vent for tbe decla
ration of tbelr sentiments in tbe same humor
