General Louis Tanis takes La Chapelle from the Nordistes

Haitian

On 8 December 1888, General Louis Tanis seized the Chapelle from the Northerners. At his approach, the 26th regiment of the Borgne, which was guarding the position, took flight and crossed the Artibonite river in disorder. However, a few days later, the Northerners returned in force and retook the position. They were driven back again.

Rouzier tells this under the entry Chapelle (la).
