HE KEBELLkUN IN HA111s Am Interesting Sketch of its Inauguration
 and its Final Success.
 Advices from Hayh inform us that the revolution is triumphant and that Domingue, the late president, has fled. Vice-President Rameau and Lorquet, the general in command of the govern ment forces, have been shot.
 General Michel Domingue, who suc- ceeded Nissajo Saget, was inaugurated president on the fourteenth of June, 1874, and appointed the following pro visional cabinet: M. Excellent, foreign relations; General Heurtelon, interior General Faure, war and navy, and MT. Boco, justice. The president promised reform and liberty, but his promises were never fulfilled. In November fol lowing it was found that stupendous frauds existed in the custom house, and that the place was only nest of rob- bers. The matter was allowed to go almost unheeded. In February, 1875, a treaty of amity and commerce was agreed upon between Hayti and it's neighbor, San Domingo.
 On the first of May, 1875, revolution broke out in Port-au-Prince on the eve of the great agricultural fete of that day, and in which the revolutionist Generals Brice and Monplaisir Pierre were killed. General Brion Canal, the coming president, took 8 prominent part in the uprising and showed great bravery. He subsequently escaped by taking refuge at the country residence of the American minister, B. D. Bassit. General Lorquet, who, according to the news given above, commanded the gov ernment troops. Subsequently an am, nesty was granted to all save General Canal. About forty people were killed in this uprising. Since it took place widespread discontent against the gov ernment of Domingue existed without cessation.
 Up to September last the American minister had not surrendered Canal, and serious complication was threatened witt this government. Canal had been sen fenced to death on the sixth of July by court martial, in the following terms
 Taking all facts into consideration this court martial, after due deiberation has unanimously united in the following sentence
 General Biron Canal, general of di vision of the armies of the republic Colonel Canal, known as sPetit" Canal Colonel Calico Carrie and Colonel Fleu rian are all sentenced to the penalty o death with military degradation, and t, pay the sum of $20, 900 to the widow and orphans of those they have killed.
 "An officers of the republic are in structed to cooperate in the carryin, out of the same. In faith of which tn present is signed by the president, vice president and judges"
 On the twenty seventh of September 1875, an arrangement was arrived at be tween the Haytian minister, MT. Pres ton, and Secretary of State Fish, g Washington, that Canal should be SUI rendered by the American minister an exiled from Hayti, never to return agai except by permission of the government The United States man-of-war Powhat tan, which was under sailing orders t leave New York for Port.au- Prince i case of national complications, wa ordered to proceed to Norfolk.
 In January four ten -barreled Gatlin guns and 2,0O0 repeating rifles were sen to Hayti for the government to repres any further attempts at revolution Meanwhile Ovide Canneau, the agent C the exiled General Canal, who was the living at Kingston, Jamaica, with nun Der of revolutionary friends, was pul chasing arms inss New York for the COT templated revolution. About this tim Domingue received by the steame Chorrucca 8 number of horses fror the Spanish government, the decordte,. of Isabel La Catolien and numerou other offerings, and for payment C which he consented to banish all Cuba refugees out of the country.
 This made Domingue more unpopula than before. Foreign merchants wer taxed $1, 200 yearly, and each of hi
 clerks $300, and the said merchants we1 , prohibited from selling less than $50 worth of goods, and coffee was taxe
 $1. 80 per hundred pounds, which effe' tually killed the trade. In February 8 iron Pantheon" dedicatedto the gres men of Hayti, was shipped from Ne York city at the cost of 10000, but nc ! paid for, likewise statue of Vic' . President Septimus Rameau, now dea s (the presidents nephew), and an fro
 house for him. A bronze equestria statue of Domingue, the fugitive pres 2 dent, is now in New York awaiting shil 2 ment and payment. An order to clos z the foreign club at Port-au-P Prince WI F also issued, but the American ministe q who is it's president, refused to obey tt order.
 General Biron Canal and others lande Q at Jacmel, where they were welcomedt | ? the general commanding the city (Tant !, who issued 8 pronunciamento. Sin' 2 then, in spite of being blockaded by tl . two vessels of the Haytians, they ha' 2 steadily gained headway, owing 2 Domingue's unpopularity. On u
 eighth of April General Canal left f. 7 Cape Hayti. The country rose to we Q cope him as likewise did those of Q Marc, as the "savior of the country = St. Marc is only sixty miles from Pol au-Prince.
