Brave Haitian General, Though Treach-

erously Dealt With, Showed Mercy.
Tonssaint L'Ouverture. the black
chieftain of Haiti. was n slave on the
Plantation de Libertas. belonging to M.
Bayou. When the rising of the Negroes
took place. in 1891, Toussaint refused
to join them until he had aided Nj.
Bayou and his family to escape to Bal
umOre
The white man had discovered In
Toussaint many noble qualities and
had instructed him in some Of the first
branches of education. and the pres
ervation of his life was owing to the
Nesros gratitude for his kindness.
In 1897 Toussaint L'Ouverture was
appointed by the French government
general in chief of the armies Of Santo
Domingo and as such signed the con-
vention with General Maitland for the
evacuation of the island by the British.
From this period until 1901 the island
under the government of Toussaint
was happy. tranquil and prosperous.
The miserable attempt OF Napoleon to
re-establish slavery in Santo Domingo.
although it failed OF its intended OBJ
ject. proved fatal to the Negro chief
tain. Treacherously seized by lie Clerc.
he was hurried on, board a vessel by
night and conveyetH to France. where
he was confined in n cold subterranean
dungeon at Besancon. where in April
1903. he died.
The treatment of Toussaint finds
parallel only in the murder of the Duke
D'Enghein. 1t was the remark of God

by Columbus could not boast OF "A sin
