BLOODY ISLAND
OF MASSACRES
Such is Haiti, in the Far
Away West Indies.
FULLY FIVE MILLIONS PEOPLE
Have Been Put to Death in
the Little ISland-HiS-
tory of Wars.

Haiti, the West Indian island, 10
which public attention has just re-
Gently letn dir cted, has been the
scene OF more massacres than any
other place ON earth.
They Logan with the coming of Co.
lumbus and the rabbl5 rout that fol-
lowed him. In Il few years its 3,0O0-
900 of gentle, brown-ikinntd inhabi-
tan,s had persisted utterly, extermi-
mated by fire and sword, and by
forced labor in the mines, 10 which
they were utterly unsuIted. In all
history is no tragedy more colossal
and more pitiful than this one
Next the buccaneers seized the UNI
happy island and wreaked vengeance
on the Spaniards in such "A manner
that even the old chroniclers tell of
he worst Of the atrocities only in the
Latin tongue.
Presently came The French, and for
brief space there was some SEMI
blance Of peace. But in 1893 the ne
grCts revolted and murdered pdctic-
ally all thc whites, the scents nacted
resembling those uhat took place at
Cawnpore and elsewhere during the
Indian mutlny, hut magnified thous-
andfold.
On account of these atrocities,
frlghtful reprisals took place when
France, in due course, feconquered the
island. But the negroes bided their
time, and presently rose again under
a ruffian named Dtssalimes:
This time they did the thing thor
oughly, Not only were all thu Eu-
roptals put TO death, hut all having
any admiAture OF white blood in their
veins suffered like fate. Many Of
the victims were burned alive, after
having been first tortured.
lii all, it is computed that 100000
of men, women and children have met
with violent deaths on this island OF
massacres since the intruding white
man first set foot on its palm-fringed
strand
The present disturbances center
around the struggle between President
Nord Alexis and General Fimin, which
mas been in full swing ever since the
former President Simon Sam, retir-
ed to Paris with as much money as he
could lay his hands on.
Both Alexis and Firmin wsre anX-
