Show HAVTIEN PRESIDENT MAKES DIRE THREAT PORT Al" PR IXC 15. Ilayti. April 19 While there have been many arrests of natives suspcrlcd of sympathy with the late revolution. and political prisoners continue to be brought In in batches from interior points, there have been no more public sliootings here, indeed, the government gov-ernment denies that any more executions have taken plnee. This, however, is Incredible, In-credible, In view of the fart thai many persons are known lo have been drugged from their beds at night and that all trace of them has been lost. Tn the executions of March 15 last. President -N'ord Alexis achieved the double dou-ble purpose of obliterating as ninny of his foes as he could lay his hands on and striking terror into tho hearts of those who were beyond his reach. Since then his name nnd that of his ferocious lieutenant. General .Tulesy Alexis j Coleon. who personally directed the shooting shoot-ing of tlie prisoners. Including some of his ; own blood relatives, are mentioned only In whispers. All Jlaytl trembles before them. Alexis ,has made the significant statement state-ment that If he is not permltcd to end his term of office unmolested he will, rather than ..submit to deposition, write his name on the seroll of fame in the blood of such a massacre as Ilayti lias i not seen since the days of Dessnllncs. I once known as Jean .inclines. Xo one doubts his ability to carry out this threat, which is understood to be Intended In-tended as a deterrent not only to revolutionists revo-lutionists but to any attempt at foreign interference In the. affairs of JIayti. |
