Mtw YOIIK , Jan. 0. The discovery has Just
been made by Mr. Prlco , the Haytien minis
ter , to the United States , says the Herald ; of
a revolutionary movement , havltlg for Us ob
ject the overthrow of President Hlppolyto of
Haytl. The revolutionary pjrty , ho nas
found , has fitted out in'thhvconntry a man-
of-war equipped with all the appliances of
modern warfare , which is intended tb bo
tisod by the Haytien political exiles In
Jamaica to capture Por't uu Prlnco and
establish a now government. Minister Price
has denounced the revolutionary 'movement '
to the government nt Wnshlntfton , nnd It Is
to bo expected that the detective' machinery
of the Stnto department will bo sot In motion
today for the capture 6f the man-of-war nnd
thn arrostof the agents here.
Government agents will solzb tho. shipif
tboy can llnd her.
Ilnw tlio MoM'lllcnt SUU-IMl.
The chances are , howov.or , " that the revolu
tionary vessel Is already far out to sea ,
where the tlnytlon navy will bavo n merry
time finding her. The revolutionary move
ment Is a direct roiult of the ovonls of the
tragic 23th of May , IS'JJ. 'fho passions
aroused by HIppoIyto's acts ou th'at fateful
day led the men inoxlloin Kingston , Jamaica ,
to band themselves into 'a committee , which
had for Its solo object tho'punishmont and
overthrow of Hlppolyto. Therb were several
men In exile in Kingston who had been
prominent In the affairs of Haytl. Among
them were General Francois Nanlgato ,
General Anselmo Prophote , ox-Prosldont
Logltlmo and Uonornl Fouctmrd. There
were other exiles of tno'ra or loss prominence ,
but these men were the acknowledged
loaders. Each man had his political follow
ing in Haytt. Some were in the 'south , some
were in the north and some wcro in the In
terior of the island.
After much discussion It was resolved that
the loaders should constitute themselves a
committee of revolution , nnd that an expedi
tion should bo lilted out in the United , States.
An agent was sent to Ncw Yorkinccompanlcd
by delegates , but after thosltuqtionbad bccu
'
thoroughly c.mvassod the movcm'ont was
abandoned. For a time U'lookcd as though
there would bo no revolutionary movement ,
nnd the committee of revolution gave up all
hope of immediate progress , ,
For several months political matters in
Haytl and among the exiles In Kingston
were very quiet. In fact , they were sus
piciously quiet. Early lost autumn the situ
ation had apparently become so peaceful thai
President Hlnpolyto Issued a manifesto of
general amnesty , Inviting alt the exiles to re
turn to Haytl. Ho oven wcul so far in his
desire to got the exiles back , as to soud a ship
to take them to Port au Prince free of
charge. The ship returned empty ,
Chose a > "cw Leader.
It was during this time of peace and quiet
ness that the present revolutionary move
ment was sol on foot. The committee of
revolution at Kingston chose a new loader
and now methods. The leader was General
Francois Nanlgale. It was Nanlguto's in
tention to make a movement at once , how
ever , as all of , the , leaders had banded , them
selves together for , the .SUCOOSH of : tba move
ment. 4l "was decided lltvout'
to lltv a , man-of-
'
war In the United States aijd Lto p'nroluise
largo quantities of arms and ammunition , '
the general plan boiug to uttacK Uyppolitc
by water In his stronghold al Porl au
Prince. ,
A iruslworthy agent named Francois
Robert , who was a man of ability nnd dis
cretion , was sonl to Now York to confer
with the friends of the movement in this
city. The acent , accompanied by an assis
tant named George S. Rlcbot , arrived In this
city early in the summer. Ho bad many
consultations with General Nanigrato's
friends and also with tbo friends of those of
the revolutionary loaders , but the serious
work of the movement was arranged almost
solely wltb. the friends of Nanlgatc.
Late In the summer it Was dclinitcly ar
ranged that a steamer should bo purchased
and armed , and thai thU vessel , after bolng
properly equipped with the supplies nna
munitions of war , should sail for Huyltl on
or about the tniddlo of January , 1892.
the Slnunx til War.
The money with wKlch to flt'ont iho expe
dition was raised In this city among mer
chants who have or who wished to huvo busi
ness dealings with Haytl. The amount , is
said to bavo boon close unon f" > 00,000.
The sto.imer was purchased In September.
She was an American built vessel , 2iO : fool
long and of 2,000 tons register. She was
admirably adapted for tbo purpose of a man-
of-war , and sbo had been builtVxtra-sIrOng
for the purpose of carrying rails and boavv
railway supplies. Sbo mid two screws , which
drove hov at the rate of fourteen knots an
hour. She co'uld carry coal for fourteen days
steaming at full speed.
After the steamer had boon turned ever to
the revolutionary agents she lay for a short
time In Tobo's yard , In Brooklyn , where she
was accidentally found by spies employed by
Minister Price. She was t very' tflosoly
watched , but the spies were thrown olT thn
scent by a business man of Ihls city , who as
serted that the ship belonged to him , an J
that ho was about to load up for Europe ,
After the spies were withdrawn the shin Iof I
the porl for a quiet plai'o on the r.outh At
lantic seaboard , where the workof tilting oul
was begun early in October. "p , f
1'rooiiitlon to A\ol < I DUouVery.
During the three months , thal iho con
tractors were al work upon -the- ship the
utmost precaution was. taken to avoid dis
covery. The hhlp was constantly , coaled so
that she might put to aea al .a moment's
notice. The workmen who worotimplayed In
strengthening her docks , In limiting the
necessary alterations and in , constructing the
gun carriages were not allowed to leave the
ship oven at nlcht. Thay ate and slept on
board , and no one except the 'foreman and
contractor wcro allowed to go on or' oft the
ship.
Toward the mti'dlo of December1 most of
the big guns had been put In position , and
the men to manage them had bccn.qngagcd.
The gunners selected were retired United
States navy gunners. Whan the 'work was
nearly completed they were' sent on board
and were not allowed to leave/ For fully
three weeks the gunners , workmen and
others Interested In the work of preparation
did not leave the ship oven for a moment.
They were waiting for sailing orders , * which
might arrive at any time. The cracking of
an urraor plate detained tho-vessor hloro than
a week , so thai 11 Is likely thai If II had nol
been for ibis accident Minister Price would
have searched the coast in vain for any trace
of the revolutionary ship.
Ariiitiinoiit of tlio ftliln.
The ship was armed with fourlargobroech-
loadlng. ritlcd cannon , and six rapid 11 ring
guns. The largest rillo throw a fifty-pound
shot and the next largest a "thirty-pound
shot. The secondary battery bad rllles of
six-Inch bare. The ship was * lilted with
powerful search lights and all the appliances
of a modern man-of-war.
The plan of the expedition was to proceed
to a selected point In Jamnloa with suftlclent
arms and ammunition fortho equipment of an
army. The ox lies at Jamaica were { hen to
betaken on boanl , and the completed expedi
tion was then to descend upon Port-au-
I'd u co. the capital of Haytl , and to make an
attack by water. It was expected that the
navy of Itippoly to would have little chance
with the powerful guns nud thick armor of
the Hoot revolutionary ship. In co-operation
with tno ship , the revolutionary troops were
to make a landing and attack the city ,
Whllo the man-of-war fought the vessels
of the navy and pounded tbo foru OD
shore the troops were to rush through the
streets attacking Hlppolyto's soldiers and
Inciting the populace to rue in rebellion. It
was expected that most of tbo a.blo bodied
men of the city would Instantly Join in the
cauia of tbo revolution , thereby avenging the
blood p deeds of the 2Slu of May.
