PLANS OF NORD ALEXIS

Deposed President of the Republic pf Haiti Uncertain As to Where He Will Spend Rest of His Days—Although Over Ninety Years Old, He Bears His Misfortune Bravely—Armed Citizens Suppress Disorder Created by Lawless Element.

Port au Prince, Dec. 4. —Stirring events of the day that saw President Nord Alexis driven from his capital with an infuriated mob at his heels were followed by a night of looting and pillage in Port au Prince. The passions of the mob had been aroused, and after being defeated in their attempts to do bodily harm to Alexis the rioters turned their attention to well-stocked storehouses and the residences of supporters of the former president. Twelve men were killed before order was restored.
