Show the elany whom Legi time ha in his army yew orleans Pw ayune the war in where the alleged rightful ruler Legi lime is being driven into his last ditch by the alleged revolutionary leader hippolyte has developed an interesting feature in the drafting of women into the army of the former Legi time has been worsted on every field and driven back until his domain is limited pretty nearly to hia capital city of port au prince As his army has dwindled away largely by desertion to the other faction he found himself without troops to man his fortifications for his city waa long ago
