[From the N. Y. Herald, 17th.]
The Jamaica steamship Montezuma arrived
at tiiis port last evening, with details of the"*
bombardment of Cape Haytien .by the British
duop-of-war, Bull Dog and the|destruction*of
that vessel.
L The United States steamer De Soto had ar
rived at Kingston with thirty-six refugees from
E* Cape Haytien, among them the Consuls of
Prussia and Hamburg, and sailed again, carry
ing some of them back to Cape Haytien, in
cluding the Prussian Consul.
General Salnave, the rebel leader, was
apiong the persons killed at Cape Haytien by
the shots of the British ship-of-war Boll Dog.
Particulars of the affair at Cape Haytien,
tent to the Kingston papers, say that a compact
of some kind was entered into between the
captain of the Bull Dog and President Gef-
frard, who had three steamers of war under
his command, the understanding being that the
Bull Dog should be supported in obtaining re-
|l dress for the firing into the steamer Jamaica
Backet, in a small harbor near Cape Haytien,
■ by the rebel steamer Voldroque. The Bull
bog ordered tb8 Voldroque to desist, when
her captain reported the matter to Gen. Sal-
L. nave, who forcibly removed all the Haytien
refugees from the British Consnlate. The Bull
Hog entered the port of Cape Haytien, closely
followed by the Haytien steamers. She steer
ed towards the Voldroque with the intention
of running her down, but she unfortunately
grounded. Her guns were, however, ranged
on the Voldroque, which she sank in three
trinities. The Bull Dog then opened fire on
the shore. The arsenal was blown up and all
die forts quickly silenced and dismantled. It
being impossible to get the Bull Dog off, she
was abandoned and blown up.
l.ater advices say that another British ship-
of-war, the Lily, had sailed for Cape Haytien.
Humor said that General Lamotbe, one of
Bj the leaders of the insurrection, would be al
lowed to depart'himself. Another rumor said
be would be handed over to the Haytien gov-
■ foment. » . - *
Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 1, 1B65.
C'ljiti're of a Geffrard Steamer by the Rebel
Haytien Fleet.
The British war steamer Bull Dog, which
has been lying in this harbor for the past six
or seven weeks, proceeded to sea on the mom-’
13 k of the 16th instant, ostensibly for the pur
pose of target practice with her great guns,
so say her officers). She was preceded, on
be evening previous by the Haytien rebel war
e et, consisting of the steamer Voldroque and
our schooners, which were bound to Gonaives
w the purpose of capturing some of Geffrard’*
'teatners at or near that place. The fleet ar-
it ed oft that place,.and on the following morn-
brotmi?. 8tean * er Voldroque gave chase and
fought to a Steamer without colors or nation-
^ ,a pp arenUy, the crew of which took to
tbetr boats and deserted the ship upon the an-
^•eh of the Voldroque. ^
The Bull Dog Wrests the Prize from the Rebel
Fleet. " j
The Voldroque was about to take possession
of the abandoned vessel when suddenly a, gun
fired from the British steamer Bull Dog, which
was in the vicinity at the time and was rapidly
approaching from another direction, warned
the Voldroque off the chase. This gun was
followed by a second and a shot across the
bows of the Voldroque. She stopped, and the
Bull Dog coming up forbade her overhauling
the steamer, stating that she was an English
steamer, under English colors and carrying
the British mails. The captain of the Vol
droque then stated that he knew the vessel to
be a Haytien steamer and in the employ of the
Geffrard government, carrying troops and mu
nitions of war; and, furthermore, he believed
that President Geffrard and some of his cabi
net were on board at the time. In the mean
while, while the Voldroque was detained by this
parley, the boats returned to the steamer, and
they then hoisted English colors. The captain
of the Bull Dog insisted that the steamer was
a bona fide British vessel on a legitimate voy
age.
Right of Search Refused the Voldroque.
Tho captain of the Veldroque then requested
permission to search the steamer in company
with officers from the Bull Dog. This the
captain of the Bull Dog positively refused, and
insisted upon the validity of the nationality of
th| steamer in question. The Voldroque, not
being permitted to overhaul the steamer, re
turned to Cape Hatyien in company with the
(chooners, and followed by the Bull Dog, which
arrived in port next morning.
Refusal of ihe Cape Haytien Authorities to let
the Boat of the Bull Dog Land.
Shortly before the arrival of the Bull Dog a
boat was despatched on shore upon some doty
connected with the ship. The boat was not per
mitted to land, and the officer therein was in-
forned that no boats from the Bull Dog could
land unless by superior force in arms. Accord
ingly a heavily armed launch was dispatched,
with orders, if possible, to effect a landing. This
they failed to do, however, having been met by a
“charge bayonets” from the infantry. The crew
concluded to remain in their boat, but were per
mitted to bring off the English Consul, Mr. Dut
ton, to the Bull Dog.
Preparing to iMnd by Force of Anns.
Immediately upon the return of the boat bear
ing the Consul active preparations for a fight
were noticed on tho Ball Dog. The topgallant
and royal yards were struck and topagallant-
masts sent down, anchor hove short, a spring
upon the cable, and a full bead of steam was
gotten up. The Consul was permitted to land
again, but no further communication was per
mitted between the Bull Dog and the shore, un
less what afterwards came through tho boats of
the United States steamer De Soto and under the
American flag.
Preparations of the Haytiens for Defense.
The news of the Bnll Dog’s conduct having
spread like wildfire among the inhabitants of the
Cape, they became greatly exasperated at the
conduct of the English commander. The people
were all out and under arms. Horsemen dashed
through the streets, carrying the news. The
women came out of their houses armed with long
knives, and vowed to wreak vengeance upon the
English prown if they attempted to land. They
broke upon the English Consulate, and took
therefrom some seven or eight refugees belong
ing to Geffrard, who were concealed there lor
protection, and held them as hostages.
The Bull Dog Goes For and Returns with Rein
forcements from Geffrard’s Fleet.
Friday and Saturday passed without anything
occurring worthy of note, until Sunday morning,
22d inst., when the Bull Dog got under weigh to
pr« teed to sea,to avoid a conflict with the authori
ties on shore. She carried with her the British
and American oonsuls, the latter having through
out the whole affair bohavod most outrageously,
and disgraced the American flag which he repre
sented. The Bull Dog returned from sea on the
following morning (Monday), accompanied by
three of Geffrard’s steamers, which remained in
the offing outside the harbor, but were to have
entered tho same in company with her.
‘ The Bombardment Opened.
Immediately upim getting abreast of Fort
Pioolet, at the entrance of the harbor, at hall-
past eight o’clock in the morning, she opened
fire upon the fort, and poured in two heavy
broadsides without any notice. The men in the
fort were scattered out uuon the ramparts, and
little dreamed of what was coming; but they soon
manned their pieces and responded with three or
four guns. The Bull Dog, however, did not stop,
but steamed boldly into the harbor and commen
ced firing upon the town with shell and grape,
and, with a full head of steam on, started to run
down the Haytien war steamer Voldroqne and
the rest of the fleet. But upon getting about one
hundred yards from the Voldroque she ran
ashore, and with such terrible force that all at
tempts to back her off by reversing the engines
proved fntiie. She, however, was .not idle, but
poured broadside after broadside into th, open
town—upon defenceless women and ohildren,
foreigners, aliens and all alike.
Incidents of the Bombardment.
Lieut. Cbmmander Howell, Executive Offi
cer of the United States ship. De Soto, and
some other officers, together with a boat’s .crew,
were on shore upon duty, and miraculously es
caped with their lives to their boat, the shells
from the Bull Dog falling thick and fast.
Captain Walker, commanding the United
States steamer De Soto, astonished at the bar
barity, of the act, sent a boat on board the Bull
Dog to know why her commander, Captain
Wake, was acting in the manner he was with
out first notifying him of his intention to bom
bard the town, as he had promised to do, and
also without notifying the foreign consuls and
aliens.
The Non-Combatants Brought on Board th.e
De Solo. »
Meanwhile, and at great risk to life, that
Christian gentleman and brave and good man,
Captain Walker, dispatched his boats, under
the command of Lieut. Commander Howell,
and other officers of the De Soto, through tho
midst of a heavy fire from both tho English
steamer and the Haytien batteries on shore,
for the purpose of bringing the foreigners and
all who wished for protection under the Ameri
can flag. Five foreign consuls, representing
respectively the countries of Prussia, Belgiunff
France, Hamburg and Oldenburg, and fifty
other persons, male and female, of all nation
alities, placed themselves under the protection
of the American flag, and were conveyed to the
United States ship De Soto, which vessel had
in the meantime got up steam and steamed out
of danger from the contending parties. Much
praise is due to Captain Walker and the offi
cers of the DeSoto for the gallant manner in
in which they rescued and brought off the peo
ple from shore and placed them out of danger.
Sinking of t he Voldroque and a Schooi(tr—The
• Bull Bog Ashore-, r
At the first commencement the Bnll Dog,
having failed in her attempt to rurf* down the
Haytien fleet, poured a heavy fire into them,
and succeeded in sinking the Voldroque and
the largest of the schooners, whose crews were
mostly all on shore, and were unable to offer
resistance until too late.
Reply of Commander Wake to Captain Walker's
Inquiry.
Commander Wake, of the Bull Dog, in reply to
Captain Walker’s message as to why lie fired in
to the town without previous notice, said that he
sppeffied to “Amerieatr generosity/’ and hoped
that Captain Walker would not taka advantage
of hia unfortunate position, as ha waa than in a
tight place.
I The Bull Dog Asks For Aid.
[ The Bull Dog kept up an incessant fire upon
the town nil day, and late in the afternoon sent to
Captain Walker and begged that he would take
a hawser from him and tow him off, promising to
cease firing and leave the harbor if he did so; if
not, he stated he would be unable to get. off, and
would be compelled to blow his ship up.
Captain Walker Takes the Wounded of the Dull
■ Dog on Board hie Vessel.
Captain Walker declined doing so or offering
him further assistance in tbe affair; but offered
to take bis wounded on board, which Captain
Wake gladly availed himself of, and sent his
wounded on board the De Soto for medical treat
ment and safe keeping. Surgeon Kidder provid
ed everything in his power for the comfort of the
men in question.
The Bull Dog Continued the Bombardment
until snndown, when both parties ceased firing.
During tbe engagement she had one officer and
two men killed and fifteen men wounded.
Hu Bull Dog Blown Up.
After dusk, finding that he could not get his
ship off that evening, and could not hope to be
reinforced by the De Soto and fearing that the
enemy, under cover of night, would take advan
tage of it and erect more Batteries Captain Wake
determind to abandon her, and without further
consultation with the De Soto took to his boats
and pulled quftlly out of the harbor, none else
knowing of what wa3 going on save tffe British
crew. At exactly halt past ten o’clock P. M. a
most terrible explosion took place, which shook
the De Soto from stem to sterD. Her Britannic
Majesty’s war steamer Bull Dog was no more.—
High in the heavens were seen fallen timbers.
Dangerous Proximity of the De Soto to the Ex
ploded Vessel.
The De Soto at the time of the explosion
was scarcely eight hundred yards distant, and
the danger was indeed great, although luckily
no accident happened. Immediately all the
boats of the De Soto were manned and offi
cered and despatched to the scene of the wreck,
to pick up or rescue any bodies that might be
seen. But upon arriving there they found that
she had evidently been deserted previous to
the explosion. Countless explosions followed
all the rest of the night, caused by the burst
ing of the few remaining shells and other
combustible materials. • Nothing remains at
present of the haughty Bull Dog but her
smoke stack and a portion of her machinery.
The Bull Dog
Was a bark-rigged paddle-wheel steamer of
1,112 tons burthen, and five hundred horse
power. She carried a battery of six guns, viz:
four heavy thirty-two pounders on broadside,
one ten-inch smooth-bore pivot and one rifled
Armstrong, throwing a solid shot of one hun
dred and ten pounds. Her complement, in
clusive of officers, seamen and marines, was
one hundred and seventy-five all told.
Barbarous Conduct of Copt. Wake.
The action of the Bull Dog was one of the
most barbarous on record. The foreign con
suls hav'e all protested against the action, and
had it not been for the protection offered un*
der the American flag and the United States
ship De Soto, it is not known how much more
terrible the result would have been. Much
praise is due to that noble officer and Chris
tian gentleman, Captain W. M. Walker, Uni
ted States Navy,, commanding United States
steamer De Soto, for bis gallant conduct upon
the occasion. America may well be proud of
such officers as Captain Walker. He prom
ised every comfort for the ladies—who were
mostly French and Spanish—received on board;
and his officers, one and all, gave up their
state-rooms, berths, table, &c.,- and every com
fort that American hospitality could offer was
tendered to tbe distressed.
The Haytien Rebel Wur Fleet
consisted of the Voldroque, a British built sorow
steamer of four hundred tons burthen. She was
a three masted, schooner rigged vessel, and car
ried a Uatteryjof four twelve pounder earronades
on broadside. She did not return the fire, as she
had not sufficient steam up to get under way, and
most of her orew were on shore. There were also
four fchooccrs, the largest of which carried one
long eighteen-pounder pivot and-two twolve-
poundor oorronades on broadside. The Voldroque
was formerly one of Geffrard’s blockading vessels,
and was captured by the four schooners in ques
tion in the latter part of September, after a spiri
ted engagement of bdt half an hour.
The Commander of tire Haytien Fleet.
The Haytien fleet was under the command of
our captain, Pablo L. Villanuova, an American
by birth, a thorough seaman and a man ot educa*
tion, who was formerly mate of a Boston dipper
ship. The three smaller schooners oarried oach
one twelve pounder bronze gun on pivot. Tbe
fleet carried a battery of ten guns, all told. Cap
tain Villanueva was on board of the Voldroque
at the time of her sinking, superintending the
getting up of steam himself, his engineer being on
shore and quite ill. He-sank with bis colors fly
ing and a blood rod flag at the main (the Haytien
battle flag). He, with others of. his crew, 1 clung
to-ihe masts and rigging of the vessel, with rifle
men from the tops of tbe Eoglish vessel picking
them off as fast as they a ppeared above the watqp,
and until rescued from the unfortunate position
by a bokt from the United States ship De Soto,
under Lieutenant Sumner; and had it not be in
for the humanity of the American officer they
would probably have perished. The Quit Dog
allowed no chanoe of escape to the conquered,
not granting even quarter. The sharks which in
fest the harbor were enemy enough upon such an
occasion without an addition from sharpshooters
while clinging for dear ’life to the mastheads of
their sunken ship. , -
Inefficiency of the Blockade of Cape Haytien•
There are now but two steamers composing the
blockading squadron off' Cape Haytien, and
the - chances for blockade running are indeed
favorable.
The Crew of the Bull Dog at Lemonade.
Tb-day one of the bests, which communicated
with the Geffrard troops on the side, beard that
the officers and crew of the late Bull Dog arrived
at Lemonade after the destruction of their ves
sel, and from whence they took their departure
in oDe of Geffrard’s steamers for Kingston,
Jamaica.
Explanation of Capt. Wake's Appeal to Capt
Walker not to Fire at Him.
The officer in charge of the boat, Acting
Master Brice, was informed by our American
Consul, Mr. Folsom, that Commander Wake, of
the Bull Dog, while agrbund and engaging the
enemy, not only expected, but greatly feared,
that the United States steamer De Soto would
opeo fire upon his ship. He was convinced of
this by observing tbe De Soto getting np steam
and standing out of range of tbe shore batteries
and coming to a position where the De Soto’s
S ans could rake the Bull Dog. This evidently is
ie reason why, in his reply to Commander
Walker, be appealed to American generosity not
to take advantage of his unfortunate position,
and also bis promise to cease firing upon the
town and leave tbe harbor, if Caj)t. • Walker
would tow him off. Haring failed to elicit as
sistance from the De Soto, and fearing that the
De Soto would attack him after her refusal of as
sistance, for his berbarious conduct and viola
tion of his promises to Captain Walker, not under
any circumstances to open fire upon the town
without previous notice, in order to give time to
bring offthe foreign population, probably led
him do blow up hia ship and steal quietly out of
the harbor in hia own boats under cover of tbe
night. .
,Journal of cm Officer of the De isoto.
The following is an extract from the journal
of an officer regarding the action of tbe Roll
Dog. Tbe officer wae on board the De Soto,
and witnessed the whole affair from her deoku
From 8 a. in. to meridian, wind variable,
from south to southwest; weather clear and
fine, thermometer (in shade) 90 degrees, bar
ometer 30 degrees 5 minutes.
At 8.33 H. B. M. steamer Bull Dog made
her appearance offthe mouth of the harbor, in
company with three Haytien (Geffrard) war
steamers. Lieut. Commanding Howell return
ed on board, hanging off the families of the
Prussian and Belgian codsuIs.
At a quarter to 9 o’clock, when abreast of
Fort Picolet, the Bull Dog opened fire on the
same, and about five minutes later the fort re-
urned the fire. At ten minutes to nine we
started Ar8s under the main boilers for the pur
pose of getting up steam, and sent Lieut. Read
in the second cutter with a message to the Bull
Dog. Lieut. Read was unable to board her,
and returned to the ship. The Bull Dog hav
ing entered the harbor, stood for |he rebel
steamer Voldroque at full speed, and using her
starboard battery upon the city and from her
tops firing rifles at the people on shore and at
the crew of the Voldroque. When within short
musket range of the Voldroque, and going at
full speed, and abreast of the “turret Detaing,”
the Bull Dog grounded, and was unable to ex
tricate herself from her perilous position, being
within point blank range of a heavy masked
buttery on shore, which immediately opened
fire upon her, as also did numerous sharp
shooters and riflemen. A fragment of a shell
from the Bull Dog striking an English block
ade runner, she was immediately abandoned by
her captain and crew, who came on board this
vessel for protection. Hove short, and sent
Lieutenant Read to the Bull’ Dog with a mes
sage to her commander. Lieutenant Read suc
ceeded in boarding her, and through the midst
of a heavy fire, at twenty minutes to 9 o’clock
Lieut. Commander Howell returned in the
launch, bringing off a large number of persons,
among whom were the Hamburg and Oldenburg
consuls, who claimed protection under our flag.
At a quarter to 10 tbe Voldroque sunk, and
with her colors flying, having been hulled
several times by the Bull Dog, and the few who
remained on board clung to the rigging, when
the steamer’s hull disappeared, and thus re
mained under the fire of the Englishmen’s rifle
men until picked up by bis boat and taken pri
soners. Several of tho crew of the Voldroque
and a portion of the crew of the largest schooner
of the Haytien fleet were rescued from the
water, in the midst of a shower of bullets, and
taken on shore by Lient. Sumner in the third
cutter, which was despatched upon this errand
of humanity by Capt. Walker. At 10 Lieut.
Commander Howell and Acting Ensign Kane
went on shore with a heavily armed boat’s
crew for the purpose of bringing off' any for
eigners who desired protection. At ten min
utes past ten the largest schoonfrr of the Hay
tien war fleet sunk, having received two shot
holes in the port bow and at the water line. At
half-past ten hove up anchor and got under
way under steam, a boat with an officer from
the Bull Dog coming alongside at the same
time with a message for the commanding of
ficer. At half-past eleven another officer came
alongside from the Bull Dog, with a message
which amounted to this, “mat he wished us to
attempt to tow him off shore.” At forty-five
minutes past eleven came to anchor in ten and
a*balf fathoms of water, and veered to thirty-
five fathoms of chain at the “bitts” on tbe
starboard bower chain. Bearings of anchorage
—Fort Picolet, north by west three quarters
west; Custom Honse w*st south-west; Fort Vil-
too, south by West, one-half west; Petit Anse
south three quarters east; Mangrove Island,
east by south. At thirty-five minutes past
eleven, Lieutenant Sumner returned with the
first cutter from shore, bringing oil' several
foreigners claiming protection, among whom
was the Vice-Consul of France. At meridian
Lieutenant Sumner went on board the Bull
Dog with an oiler from the commanding offi
cer to receive and care for snch wounded per
sons as he (the commander of the Bull Dog)
might see fit to send off. The commanding
officer of the Bull Dog declined the offer; his
men being badly wounded, and the ship under
fire, he deemed it inexpedient to remove
them.
From meridian to 4 P. M.—Light wind from
‘be north northeast; weather clear and fine;
thermometer eighty seven degrees; barometer,
thirty degrees, two minutes; her Britannic
Majesty’s steamer Bull Dog still aground, and
engaging the shore batteries. Lieutenant Com
mander [Iowell went ashore in the second cut
ter, returning on board at forty-five minutes
past one. The town is on fire on the Northern
and windward part, from the effect of the Bull
Dog’s shells. At four the firing nearly ceased
on both sides, the Bull Dog firing only occa
sionally. Received on board, in all, forty-sev
en persons, people from the city of Cape Hay
tien who have desired protection.
. From four to six P. M.—Bull Dog still fir
ing at the shore batteries; and occasionally
spiritedly sweeping the streets in the vicinity
of the Bureau-au-Port with broadsides of grape
and canister, the shore batteries answering but
feebly and occasionally. A number of the
people whom we brought off from shore (for
eigners) left the ship and embarked on an Eng
lish schooner, which will probably run the
blockade to-night. Three of Geffrard’s steam
ers are cruising in the offing. Received from
her Britannic Majesty’s steamer Bull Dog, for
medical treatment, the following wounded men,
viz : Samuel Boden, seaman ; James Greene,
captain of foretop; John Donnelly, captaiil of
maintop; Francis Merediff, seaman ; Benja
min Richardson, seaman; Jerome Pascoe,
stoker; James Burton, marine; and Bina Ju-
prey, a Haytien, one of the ere# of the Vold
roque. Received also frpm the Bull Dog sev
en Haytiens, being a portion of the crew of
the Voldroque,-taken as prisoners from the
water and the rigging of the sunken schooner
Voldroque by the English boats.
From six to eight nothing worthy of note
occurred. A midshipman from the Bull Dog
came on board with a message from the com
manding officer.
From eight P. M. to midnight, calm,
weather clear.
At thirty minutes past ten her Britannic
Majesty’s steamer' Bull Dog blew up with ter
rific force, the concussion shaking this ship.—
In an instant all our boats were lowered and
manned, and despatched to'the wreck of the
Bull Dog, under the following officers, respec
tively : .Lieutenant Sumner, Lieutenant Read,
Acting Master Brice and Acting Ensign Kane.
Arriving there, no bodies were found, she hav
ing been abandoned previous to the explosion,
and carrying off their dead with them.
