be unseated in this troubled Ne-
gro republic since last December.
Fignole. who had wide backing
among the peasants and working
classes, took office after street
clashes, erupted into brief civil
war May 23.
POLICE STATEMENT
Police headquarters announced
that Brig. Gen. Antonio Kbreau,
the army chief, "dismissed Fig-
note and the entire Cabinet." The
announcement said a communique
would be issued later in the day
by which the army would take
over all governmental powers.
The whereabouts of Fignole and
his ministers was not immediate-
ly known. They presumably were
arrested in th* early hours this
morning.
Crowds immediately started
mushrooming in an ugly mood
around police headquarters. Po-
lice and troops stood by ready to
cope with any outbreak
Only last Sunday, Fignole had
ordered Kebreau to run a loyalty
check on every army officer from
captain to colonel — apparently
in an effort to forestall just what
happened today. Former Police
Chief Col. Pierre Armand, whose
effort to seize control of the army
set off the bloodshed of May 35.
took refuge in the Spanish em-
bassy here Monday rather than
be questioned.
TROUBLES
Haiti’s six months of troubles
stemmed mainly from rivalry
among 10 candidates for the presi-
dency in elections originally sched-
uled to be held next Sunday. Ro-
mon had been circulating here for
days that Fignole intended to
seize the post without holding elec-
tions.
