Domingue’s government sends to arrest three generals

General Boisrond Canal took refuge, on 3 May 1875, in the house of the American consul E. D. Basset, at Turgeau: on the eve of the festival of Agriculture, the government of President Domingue had sent to arrest Generals Pierre Momplaisir Pierre, Brice and Boisrond Canal. The first two were in town; they defended themselves and perished in the struggle. Boisrond Canal was on his habitation Frères; he resisted the armed force sent against him, and took to the woods. Having gone into exile, he returned at the fall of Domingue and was named president of Haiti.
