Cayes population answers Lefranc; Desfourneaux and Rey sail for Gonaïves

The whole black and yellow population of the Cayes answered his call against the authority of the delegates of the civil commissioners. General Desfourneaux and the delegate Rey embarked for the Gonaïves in the face of this demonstration. A young Black man named Edouard, who was carrying on propaganda in the countryside for the delegation against the men of color, was shot at the Islet.

Rouzier tells this under the entry Fort de l’Islet.
