President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, standing behind a bulletproof shield on which his security detail insisted, pleaded with Haitians to remain calm after enraged supporters killed one man and torched 15 buildings last night. The attack on Gonaives, 100 miles north of Port-au-Prince, followed a false rumor that junta holdover Major General Jean-Claude Duperval -- the Haitian army commander until Aristide names a replacement -- had led a coup against Aristide.
