undertaken the task Of opening all
the railroad lines in that country az
a means of protecting the food sup
plies OF the principal towns, according

plies of Cape Haytien and Gonaives

suffering among the poorer population.
Colonel Waller thereupon sought out
the Cacos chiefs and explained to
them the intention Of the American
forces to open up the railroads at any
cost.
On September IS three squads of
marines and two machine guns and
necessary wrecking equipment set out
to open the road from Cape Haytien
to Grand Rivieres. Little opposition
was met with, and the country people
seemed we'll pleased at the operation.
The Cacos attempted to prevent the
opening OF the road from Gonaives
TO Emery by destroying the tracks
outside OF Gonaives A detachment
Of twenty-four marines had an en-
ga cement with Cacos on the railway
line. which resulted in the death OF
six of the Cacos There were no
casualties on the American side. Tho
way cleared, the railroad work pro-
