then in the hands of the revolutionists,
and Gen. Antoine Simon, who after,
wards became president. vas march
ing up the peninsula with al army OF
$4,000 men. Nord Alexis was various,
ly estimated at from 80 to 100 years
old. He was a descendant of n Of
the Oldest families of Haiti.
President Nord Alexis achieved the
double purpose of killing as many Of
his foes as he could lay hands on and
striking terror into the hearts of those
who were beyond his reach.
After he was educated by his par
ents, he entered the Haitien army and
his bravery soon drew him into public
attention. He took part in many
wars and in 1896 rebelled against
Hippolyte. who previously had over
thrown President Legitime. Hippolyte
died the same year while preparing t.
march against the rebels and he was
succeeded by Gen. Sam. Nord Alexis
became president OF Haiti in 1902.
His term to have expired May 10,
1909, but his administration was not
conspicuously successful. Prominent
politicians grumbled because he did
not give them what they considered
their fair share of the spoils and his
conduct in Furnishing some notorious
looters of the national treasury, ex.
cited widespread indignation, as it
was regarded as a gross breach OF
precedent.
Early in 1908 the movement against
Alexis had gained great strength and
in March a reign of terror was insti-
gated in Port au Prince. the govern
ment sending out troops who seized
many of the recolutionists, ever drag
ging them from their beds and sum-
marily put more than a score of them
to death. The number of executions,
according to some reports, reached as
high as 48. The warships OF four ma
tons went in haste to Port au Prince
and their arrival put the seal of Sc
curity on the lives and property of
foreigners.
For only a few months, however,
did Alexis maintain his rule. In No
vember he ordered Gen. Antoiane Sim
on, commander OF the south for 20
years, to come to Port au Prince and
confer with him on the political situa-
ton. General Simon refused to COM
ply and Immediately took up arms
against the president. His march to
the capital was a triumphant one for
he seized many towns and gathered a
large force under his banners.
With his approach to Port au Prince
the people of that city turned against
their PRECEDENT. They surrounded the
palace on the morning of Dec. 2 and
took possession of the city. At the
last moment Alexis yielded to the
pressure Of those about him and de.
cided to take refuge on board the
French warship Dugua Truin.
