Goth of October was fixed for tin
rising; but the arrest of some of tn,
conspirators on other charges, precipi
tated the outbreak several days. At TIN
bottom of the conspiracy was Georg'
William Gordon, ex-magistrate ant
member Of the Colonial Assembly, and
it would seem Though on this point thu
colonial papers make no definite state
ment, awhile man. The active leade
was Paul Boyle, negro preacher, ant
it is significant that most of the rebels
were in some way connected with negro
religious" associations. Boyle, Gordon
and the other principal rebels have
been arrested and hanged. General
Lamothe, ex-President of the Haytien
republic, is believed to have been i'm
plicated in the rising, and has been ar
rested on board schooner, in which he
was trying to escape from the island.
At the date of last advices the revolt
was nearly suppressed, though frightful
stories continued to be told of the negro
atrocities, and one road eight miles
long was said to be almost impossible
from the collection of dead bodies. The
insurgents do not seem to have attempt
ed the destruction of the property on
the island. Their aim was to assassi-
nate the whites and then enter into
possession of tn cir property. The edi-
tor of one of the colonial papers has
been arrested on the charge of being
concerned in the revolt, A telegram
which we publish this morning, states
that up to the last accounts, it was
thought over two thousand rebels had
been hanged. ..'.'.

troops. The Liberals claim that they

The Matamoros Ranchero says that the

plumber of MatamOros to such of the
United States troops at Brownsville who
will join them, but Weitzel is in-com-
mand of the United States troops.
