-. The Haytians who are now in the clv' say
that this revolution may break out withn u
meek. or perhaps not for a month or two, but
that II is bound TO come In fact they nave
left their country so that they may not be present
At the outbreak They are all prominent men,
profess to be true patriots, and are possessed Oh
wealth and influence Ii would not be TOO mnch
n say that they are the real leaders OF the pro

the temper of Hyppolitc to bc within ms reach
when the first blow is made, therefore they oFe

France and will sail tomorrow on La Bourgogne.
A Tribune reporter learned in talking 10 SeNe1"l
Of them yesterday. that the feelinS In HaNu Is
that Of sulen subugation. The massacre on May
2s and the subsequent banishment OF thcSe OPP
posed TO Hyppolite have created deep 1eellng
AZ resentment There are now about 500 llaytians
In exile Most of them are in Kingston, Jamaica
and others at Colon and st. Thomas.
Hyppoltc did no. eXtirpate all of the seeds OF
revolution by sending these offenders out Of the
country Many relatives remain, and they have
taken up the work OF revolution which was
that the whole movement has about reached
climax That point will lie attained when a
shin armed and equipped with 400 men sails into
the harbor of Port-au-Prnce. IIyppOlite now has
nm army of 1000 soldiers, who will remain in his
service while they arc paid There is, however,
disenslous in the ranks. Many of the soldiers
will be ready TO go over to the
other side as soon as the ship makes its appear
anoe. There is expected TO be a general upriS-
ing of the ropuacc: llyppolte will he killed. and
the revolutionsts will take possession of the Gov
eminent. This is the plan Of action of the
Evolutionary party as learned III conversation
with the Haytians now in the city.
1t Is understood that in the pursuit. of health
they will try 10 secure in France some vessel
with the proper equipment of guns and small
arms, which will sail directly to Kingston, Ja-
maica 1t will take on board at thar port Cen
eral A. Prophete, who published proclamation
on June so to the people and army of Hayti. The
address says thai the delrium of shedding blood
has seized the nladdcncd brain of Iyppolie, and
that il would he objectionable not TO interfere
and save those who are in danger of being killed
because they cannot be bought. Prophete pro-
claims that the time for action has come. He
says that he has been elected by large majority
Generalin-chiel of the revolution by those who
have escaped the cXecutioner, those patriots who
have been torn from their households by Govern
mental fury. He also says that, al
though there is nothing nut peril for
him in the situation, he believed it his
duty to accept the command. He is not moved
by any ambition to attain power, he says, but de-
sires simply TO remain the jealous servant of the
protectors of the institutions of Hayti. He will
draw his sword patriot an1r not the leader
Of any party, and he asserts that he is q soldier
and not political dreamer. He closes his pos
sionate address in the following language:
Citizens: Have confidence in my uprghtncss. Be
6eve In my indomitablc energy. | Will not fail to
undertake the task. God and the right on Our
side. From end to the other Of the country from
the Cape TO Jacmel; fIOm the Mole to TiburOn from
Hnche 10 GOnaives, fly 10 YOUR holy arms and raise
the cry OF the fight from which will spring your deliv
erance. from which the bleeding country must rise
up rehabilitated in the eyes OF outraged
civilization. From the two shores OF the ocean
strangers looking at and await the end. of this
conflict in order 10 give their decision the fate of
the black Republic.
Let US show ourselves great and dgnGed with an
independence acquired at the price Of so great
tce!
Live Hayti. free and independent!
