 HAYWARD HAZEBROUCK 553 yutic ; his habits, too expensive for the condi- tion of the country ; and above all his impu- lent robberies of the public funds, gave rise a sullen discontent, which soon pervaded the whole country. On Dec. 22, 1858, he was leposed ; and on the following day a republic proclaimed under Fabre Geffrard. On Fan. 10, 1859, Soulouque made an attempt to rain the crown, but was compelled to sur- ider to Geffrard, and on the 15th he set sail for Jamaica. In September a band of conspira- >rs attempted to assassinate Geffrard, but suc- jeded only in murdering his daughter. The issins were apprehended and executed. A jries of impolitic acts soon rendered the new Iministration as unpopular and odious as had jen that of Soulouque. On the night of Feb. J2, 1867, the citizens of Port-au-Prince rose insurrection; and Geffrard, foreseeing that change was contemplated and imminent, mdered his abdication and fled to Jamaica, iving previously secured a large amount of public money. A triumvirate was now ap- rinted, composed of Nissage-Saget, Chevalier, id Salnave ; but in June the last named was levated to the presidency, and the present con- titution at once promulgated. A new insur- jction broke out against Salnave in 1868. Af- having been several times defeated by the evolutionists, he fortified himself in Port-au- ince ; but his fleet having been captured, the >wn bombarded, and the grand palace com- letely destroyed, he was compelled to seek ifety in flight, and yielding to the persuasions )f the British consul, he endeavored to escape Dominican territory. He was, however, iptured by Cabral, and on Jan. 11, 1870, sur- sndered to Nissage-Saget, who had meantime ?n called to the capital by the victorious m. Brice, by whom the city had been bom- irded. Salnave was tried by court martial, charges of bloodshed and treason, sentenced death, and shot on the steps of his ruined On May 29 Nissage-Saget was named president of the republic of Hayti; and he has now (April, 1874), in spite of numerous at- ipts to overthrow his government, almost nnpleted his term of office, a good fortune rhich few of his predecessors enjoyed.
