PRESIDENT OF HAYTI
CATTLE DYING
BY THOUSANDS
IN COLORADO
Port au Prince, Hayti, Deo. 2. The people of Port au
Prince have revolted against the government and are now in pos
session of the city. There has been no fighting with the govern
ment troops, and a provisional government has been established.
General Ligitime has accepted the presidency of the new admin
istration.
The deposed president, Nord Alexis, is still at the palace.
Members of the diplomatic corps were in conference at 9 o'clock
for the purpose of taking measures to facilitate or hasten the de
parture of Nord Alexis from the republic.
The coup has boon remarkably successful, all the remaining
ministers and military officers under Nord Alexis having takon
refuge in the various foreign legations. These same men nine
months ago were protesting vociferously against granting tho
right of refuge to unsuccessful revolutionists by foreign diplo
matic and consular representatives.
The only man to remain loyal to Aloxis is General Canilllo
Gabriel, his nephew, who during the last six months has directed
the policy of the Alexis administration. He is at the palaoe with
Alexis.
At 11 o'clock the palace was surrounded by an infuriated
mob calling upon President Alexis to leave the country. Almost
every one in the mob is armed.
