On August 8, 1912, the Haitian National Palace exploded with President Cincinnatus Leconte and much of his army inside.

Cincinnatus Leconte was a Haitian lawyer who served as minister of the interior to President Pierre Nord Alexis. He was forced into exile in Jamaica after a 1908 revolt deposed Alexis and gave François C. Antoine Simon the presidency. Returning from exile in 1911, Leconte gathered a large military force, ousted President Simon, and brought Leconte back to Port-au-Prince in triumph.

Leconte was unanimously elected president of Haiti by Congress in August 1911 and given a seven-year term. Early in the morning on August 8, the National Palace was blown up and though it is not confirmed, many believe that this was an act by opponents to the central government. Leconte along with soldiers was killed in the explosion.

Military authorities took over and by the afternoon General Tancrede Auguste, Senator, and ex-Minister of Public Works was named president. It is feared that the final death toll may have reach 400.
