Is Again the Scene of Revolution
and Bloodshed.
HIPPOLYTE'S LIFE IN DANGER,
Armed Uprisings at Several Points
Troops Called Out to Quen the Revo-
Iutionists - Hippoiyte Denies That
There is Organized Rebellion.

KINGSTON, Jan. 17.-News, which was
received here to-day, indicates that the
long threatened revolution against the
government of President Hippolyte of
Haiti has broken out.
Messages have been received stating
that battle was fought yesterday in the
streets OF the village, the suburb of
Port Au Prince, and several lives were
lost.
President Hippolyte immed, atelv
issued orders for troops TO be sent to the
place. In a short time a little army of
three hundred men and twenty COM
manding officers were on the way. The
reports declared that the streets were
flied with armed men.
While lighting was in progress at this
point news was received at Port au
Prince OF another uprising near st.
Michael. The residents were in terror
and all places of business were closed.
Even the private residences were barri-
caded.
Troops are under orders to leave for the
seems 10 suppress this rebellion and they
will be hastened with all speed.
President Hippolyte has issued mani
festo announcing that there is no organ
lied rebellion or armed opposition TO the
government.
Iu the elections, which were held day
before yesterday, Hippolyte's friends and
relatives were chosen deputies, but their
success Is due TO a display of force at the
polls, which terrorized the people.
Armed troops were stationed at the
polling places, and at the poiut of the
bayonet ballots were orlered to be cast
for friends of the president.
Notwithstanding the manifesto Of the
president he Is undoubtedly fear full of
general uprising, aud is in terror of his
life, as the guards about his house have
been doubled, aud other precautions
taken to Insure his personal safety.
