Leonard, is what A Review of the Ebony Warriors We May Have to Fight. Port-au-Prince Letter to New York Herald. The unearthly sounds which now filled the air boded the coming of the army. Gen. Legi- time stepped to the balcony and stood with un- covered head gazing down on the torrent of black faces which passed in review before him. A motley horde, the savage soldiers of Hayti. swept along. Their appearance would awaken in the unfamiliar beholder very much the same order of emotions which the citizens of the Roman empire experienced when Attila and his wild followers poured into the forum. The army defied description. The brass bands, of which there were many, discoursed sounds which are beyond the powers of appre- ciation of the uninitiated listener. There is usually no time and no harmony. The drums take the lead, and the performance is a violent struggle between brass and sheepskin, with the latter usually in the advantage. The soldiers slouched along, marching in the French “at will” manner. No one kept step with his feilows or the music, The platoons were as crooked and wavy as a sheep path and the arms were carried in‘all manners of posi- tions. ‘The officers were usually of surpassing gorgeousness.

At a point perhaps 200 feet from the balcony on which I stood by the side of General Le; time witnessing the review, a soldier was guilty of some misdemeanor as he shacked along. At any rate I saw a mounted officer, who carried a cocomacaque, spur his horse up to the column, the savage ‘stick was uplifted high in the air and then it fell with prodigious force on the head of the offender. I plainly heard the crack of the contact with the negro’s hard skull.
