of the movement to the north, where

the adherents of Dr. Rosalvo Bobo,

twice expelled from Hayti, have been

striving for several months to break

the power of the Haytian president,

General Vilbrun Guillaume.

One hundred and sixty men, politi

cal prisoners^ including a former presi

dent of Hayti, General Orestes Zamor,

were executed by order of General

Oscar, governor of Port au Prince,

who later in the day was dragged

from the shelter of the Dominican le

gation and riddled with bullets.

President Guillaume and the mem

bers of his family have taken refuge

in the French legation, which revolu

tionists threaten to attack.

The presidential palace was partly

wrecked after an attack which lasted

for hours and the revolutionists are

in possession of the city. How many

persons were shot down in the streets

and the government buildings cannot

be learned.

Port au Prince has been in a state

of panic for days. There have been

wholesale arrests, apparently caused

by order of the president or some of

those close to him. One regiment of

soldiers was disbanded and it was

this regiment which descended upon

the palace.

Guillaume and those who acted as

his guard offered a stubborn resist

ance, but were greatly outnumbered.

The palace was abandoned by the

president, but some of the others con

tinued its defense.

So far as is known no foreigner has

suffered in the present rising and it is

expected that American warships will

be sent here immediately to protect

foreign lives and interests.
