SALNAYE, Sylvain (sal-nahv), president of
Hayti, b. in Cape Haytien in 1832; d. in Port au
Prince, 15 Jan., 1870". He enlisted in 1850. and"
was captain of cavalry when Geffrard overthrew
Soulouque in January, 1859, being rewarded for
his aid with the rank of major. In 18(51 he was
bitter in his denunciation of Geffrard for what he
called the latter's subserviency in the matter of the
occupation of the Dominican territory by Spain,
and Geffrard, whose popularity began to decline,
was powerless to punish Salnave. The latter pro-
moted and encouraged frequent insurrections on
the borders, and in 1864 he abetted an insurrection
in the northern part of Hayti, but the movement
was put down with the aid of the Spanish. In
July, 1866, he led a new rising at Gonaives, and, al-
though he was again defeated, the revolt continued
to increase, and, aided by a pronunciamento in his
favor at Port au Prince, 22 Feb., 1867, he entered
the capital on 13 March. A triumvirate was now
appointed, composed of Nissage-Saget, Chevalier, and Salnave, and the last was elected president on 14 June. His first act was to promulgate the new constitution that had been voted by the senate, but his despotic rule soon occasioned sullen discontent. In 1869 a general insurrection, headed by Nissage-Saget and Dorningue, began in the count of the north and the south. Salnave collected his forces and fought desperately, even after his chief general, Chevalier, had gone over to the enemy, intrenching himself in Port au Prince, where he was soon besieged by the rebel army under Gen. I'.rice. The defence was obstinate, and Salnave refused to surrender even after his fleet had been capture. I. Port au Prince had been bombarded, and the grand palace had been completely destroyed by an explosion. At the instance of the British consul he endeavored on 19 I'ee. to escape to li.nninican territory, but was captured b (ien. Cabral on 1C Jan., INTO, and by him surrendered to Nissage Saget,
