CAPE HAITIEN, HAITI. June 3.-u:f
A. M.-The mystery surrounding the
movements of the Clyde Line steamer
Fanita is now said to be fully explained
| 1t appears beyond a doubt that the re-
! ports OF an uprising in the Republic Of
| Santo Domingo against the power oil
| President Heureux are correct. The ini-
tial blow was struck at Monte Cristo. or
| the borders of Haiti, the nearest Do
minican port to Cape Haitien.
1t would appear that the Fanita had
on board while here $50 Dominicans, who
remained in the hold of the ship, so as
TO escape attention. General Juan Jimi-
nez and General Pablo Villanueva are
believed TO have been among them. 1t is
also noted that the former has long been
in the public eye In Santo Domingo as
a desirable man for the presidency.
General Villanueva fought bravely against
Heureux in the last war. and was exiled.
REBELS REsoLUTE.
There is strong belief here that the
revolutionists are sure Of success. Ac-
cording to the impression which prevails
al Cape Haitien, the Fanita, when she
left here, had a tried and resolute body
of men on board, and also carried a
heavy supply of arms and ammunition.
The advices received here on the sub
ject say that the Fanita arrived at
Monte Cristo at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, and that the revolutionists had
no difficulty in taking the town.
The most circumstantial reports have
it that the revolutionists are now in
considerable force, and that under Cen
erals Morales and Villanueva, they are
marching on Puerto Plata, while another
detachment is moving against Santiago
de los Caballeros. on the Yaqui river.
103 miles east Of this place General
Garcia, another important Dominican
leader, is said to be taking part in the
revolution. and there is said to be a
rising at Santo Domingo, the capital Of
the Dominican republic.

mon saying among the Dominieans, has
killed off all the prominent men on whom
he could lay hands, and who might be
rivals.
President Heureux is said to have re-
Gently resumed the arbitrary execution
of mis- opponents, sometimes openly
sometimes stealthily. The tragic disap
pearances of men of political note have
been frequent of late in Dominica.
General Pablo Reise is said to be among
the officers who have risen.

Consul here received a dispatch from
