 Many Haitien rebels were executed at Cape Haitien today after govern ment forces had defeated 500 revol- utionists in a two hour street battle. The rebels entered the town early today before the garrison was awake.
 Captain Russell, of the battleship South Carolina, reported the affair by wireless to the navy department. His depatch said the government troopers, numbering 400, repulsed the attack with a loss of eight men killed. The rebels, after having 31 killed, fled in disorder. Many sought refuge in houses, from which they were dragged for execution,
 Captain Ressells report follows: 1 At three o'clock this morning the rebel forces about 500 strong under the leadership of Charles Salnavo, by still march gained an entrance into Cape Haitien before they were dis covered. The government troops, consisted of about 400 men, were con centrated near the point of entry and successfully stopped the advance. Each faction stood it's ground and a rapid and continuous rifle fire was kept up for about an hour, when the forts St. Michael and Bellaire opened up with artillery. This had dem oralizing effect on the rebels and a disorderly retreat was begun. The rebels left their dead and wounded on the field and many threw away their arms. The fighting lasted about two hours. The latest infor- nation gives the killed as 31 and the revolutionists side and eight on the side of the government. I am unable to ascertain the number of wounded.
 Between two and three hunderd government troops arrived today under the leadership of Codio. all of whom were mounted. It is impos- sible to make an estimate of the number of revolutionists outside as they are scattered over such lasve area.
 I Cape Haitien is quiet tonight. Aft CT the fight this morining in procla'
