RED HISTORY OF A BLACK REPUBLIC
Bloody Wars Have Stained the Fair Name of Ha-Deeds
of TOuSsaint rOuverture.

governor general for life, with the priv
ilege of naming his successor On the
Sth of October, 1904, DeSsalineS ascend
ed the throne as James l, emperor OF
Haiti. He was asSaSSinated in October,
two years later.
On the death of Dessalines, Christie
phe seized the government of the
northern part of the island, and Pc
ton, mulatto general. assumed the
government of the southern division.
For several years these rivals carried
on war for supremacy, but after a
time each left the other undisturbed.
Each governed in the manner of a
president of a republic, and these men
were the first presidents that free Hal
ii knew. In 1911, Christophe converted
his territory into a kingdom, which he
ruled as an absolute monarch until
1920, when finding a revolt in progress,
which he could not subdue, he shot
himself.
In 1918, General Potion died. He was
succeeded by General Boyer, who, on
the death of Christophe, became presi
dent of the republic of Haiti, which, as
the Spanish portion of the island had
come under his sway, now included
all of Haiti.
1t was during Boyers administration
that France recognized the independ-
ence of Haiti. In 1912 a revolution
broke out and President Boyer fed to
Jamaica. In 1874 the inhabitants OF
the Spanish portion revolted and form
ed themselves into separate republic
under the name of Santo Domingo.
After various individuals had for
short time occupied the presidential
chair of Haiti, the election fell upon
General Soulonque, who assembled the
throne under the title of Emperor
Faustin /.
Since his fall Haiti has been govern
ed as a republic. But the administra-
ton of its affairs, by its present rulers,
gives no guarantee either of future
prosperity or peace, and it is not I'M
likely that the first republic in the West
Indies will some day come under the
sway OF the first republic in the world.
