Haitian President Leconte Dies in Palace Explosion Accident
Minister Susan Menos in Washington announced confirmation from his government that President Lecconte was killed by an accidental explosion caused by a fire in the powder magazine at the palace. The disaster came as Santo Domingo and Haiti faced strained relations and fears of an invading Haitian Army. The body had not been recovered due to ongoing flames, and U S officials dispatched the sunboat Nashville from Guantanamo to Port au Prince to protect foreign interests.
