The port OF Jacmel is in tho southern part Of
tho island. fifty miles from Hyppolite's seat Of
government at Port au- Prince. This distance
means many times that number OF miles in
this country, because OF the indolent methods
Of Communication. Ever since Hnyti began to
have history. the northern part OF the island
has been turbulent and tho southern part
quiet and impassive. The northern negroes
deposed and set up Presidents. fought in the
streets. murdered. and made things generally
uncomfortable for themselves and for every
one else. The southern negroes took any form
Of ofgoyernment contentedly. cared neither for
Hyppollte nor for LeRisme. and only for
yeace and thanked God II their lives were
spared. Jacmel. the seaport for this indifier-
ent part Of Hayti has therefore been quiet
and unconcsrned. 1t shouted for Lsgitime in
1855. and cheered Hyppolite In 1889 and until
the present time.
When tho news OF the slaughter in Port-au-
Prince on June Q reached Jacmel two days
later. there were some pretty indignant utter
snces. but these soon died away. as the
weather was warm. and nobody cared much
any way. But there were six Haytians OF the
better class. about equally divided between
the creoles and the negroes. who had excited
louble. Hyppoiite decided that this lime oi
insurrection Was Just the opportunity he
wan cd for putting those six persons where
they could do no harm.
