At dajbieak ye t onlay a di
haiided llaitieu regiment began nu
attack on President Guillaumc und
n hand of his followers who took
refuge in tho presidential pnluco de
fended it courageously.
Ouillaiiinc fled to the French le
gation and the most prominent of
his supporters, neneral O-ear, gov-c.iuor-genonil

It becnine known during the day
that politicul piisouers to the num
