SIMON, HAY1|AN PRESIDENT
REVOLUTIONARY GENERAL is
UNANIMOUSLY ELECTED.
Fear Of American Intervention Pre-.

uIar Among Masses.

| Port-au-Prince, Hayti, Dec. 1S.-Gen.
| Antoine Simon, the leader of the last
| revolution in Hayti that resulted in
| the flight of President Nord Alexis
from the capital, and who made his
triumphal entry into Port-au-Prince
ten days ago, was Thursday unani-
mously elected president of the re.
public by the Haytian congress.
AS soon as the result of the election
became known the great crowd that
had assembled outside the parliament
building broke into cheers, and salutes
were fired from the forts and the
Haytian gunboats in the harbor.
The other aspirants to the presi-
dency did not come forward actively.
The reason for this course was the
fear that another outbreak of the dis
order would result in America inter-
vention.
Congress met in the palace of the
senate under the presidency of Sena-
tor Paulin. The roll call showed the
presence of III representatives, and
when the vote was counted it was seen
that every delegate had expressed
himself in favor of Gen. Simon. Sena-
tor Laroche delivered the speech NOM
mating the successful revolutionist.
He recited Gen. Simon's qualifications
for the office, and made reference to
the prominence of the Simon family
in the past. He urged congress to
keep in mind one single objective-the
good OF the country, and elect Antoine
Simon. The nomination was seconded
by Deputy Dalembrun.
At this point in the proceedings
number of senators and deputies asked
permission to speak, but majority
protested and insisted that the vote
be taken at once.
The authorities took ample precau-
tons for the maintenance of order.
The streets leading to the palace were
guarded by detachments of police, and
battalion of troops was drawn up in
front of the residence of the chief
executive. All citizens were per-
mitted free access to the building, but
The authorities made sure that no
man with weapons on his person
passed the gates.
