A dispatch from Port M Prince
a that while there have been many
arrests OF natives suspected Of being
connected with the late revolution.
and political prisoners continue to be
brought in patches from interior
points. there have been no more public
shootings there. Indeed, the govern

Incredible, In view Of the fact thai
many persons are known TO have been
dragged from their beds at night and
that all trace Of them has been lost.

purpose Of CELEBRATING as many OF hts

Since then his name. and that OF his
ferocious lieutenant, Gen. Jules Alex

shooting OF the prisoners. including
some OF his own blood relatives, are
