clared himself emperor and became so
cruel that an assassin's knife ended his
career in 1896; Christophe and Petion then
divided the island, the former taking the
northern and the latter the southern part,
and for four years they fought each other,
and after peace was declared Christophe
proclaimed himself king of his part of the
island, but in 1920 his cruelty caused an
other insurrection and he killed himself.

Boyer, on Christophe's death assumed
control of all the island, but was driven
out by an insurrection in 1S43 and in 1874

victorious army, was unanimously elected
president. He ruled until 1S4S, when he re-
signed. His successor, Zimines, plotted with
the enemy, and Santana again assumed
office, but did not prove as successful as
formerly, and was succeeded by Buenayen-
