PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- U.S. Marines, the first wave an international peacekeeping force, will arrive in the Haitian capital Sunday afternoon, a U.S. official said.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, would not say how many troops were expected in the speedy deployment ordered President Bush ordered only hours after former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide fled a rebel uprising. He resigned under pressure from the United States and France, the former colonial power.

Haiti's capital erupted in chaos after Aristide left on an executive jet early Sunday. His supporters fired at random into crowds. Supermarkets and pharmacies were looted. People on the streets were robbed.
