Gen. Leconte is expected to arrive at

from their beds at daybreak, marched

was sent into exile by the new pres

Taking refuge in Jamaica, Leconte
soon began intriguing for the down
fall OF Simon. and in January of this
year started revolt against him in
north Hayti. 1t was short lived how
ever, and when the troops OF Simon
defeated the insurgents, Leconte took
refuge in the German consulate at
Cape Haytien, and later was sent
from the island under the protection
OF the German consul. Nothing daunt-
ed, Leconte returned to the combat In
May and assisted in leading the last
revolt which resulted in the over
