Villate defeats and executes Titus

In 1796, a Black man named Titus, a former lieutenant of Toussaint Louverture, to whom the French émigrés had sent 1,200 muskets, pistols and munitions, went to camp at Maribaroux. Governor Laveaux sent Villate of the Cap marching against Titus, at the head of 1,000 infantrymen and 200 cavalrymen. He went to take up position at Caracol. On 21 February he attacked Titus, dispersed his band, took him prisoner and executed him. The English, who were counting on the success of Titus, were waiting in the waters of Fort-Dauphin (Fort-Liberté). They put out to sea.
