EXCITEMENT IN HAYTI.
Reports that came 10 the state Depart
ment late in the afternoon from Hayt
were TO the effect that considerable ex-
element prevailed there, and that the
situation was grave. For this reason II was
determined TO hasten the departure of the
Marblehead and the naval officials were
communicated with to this end.
The impression appeared to prevail IN
Port Au Prince that a German warship
was rapidly approaching the place. OF
course. il is stated. that the Marblehead
goes solely for the purpose OF protectine
American interests that might be threau
ened by the outbreak of disorders in
Hayti.
The latest advlces from German sources,
however, indicate that no occasion viii
be given for friction between the United
States and Germany on account OF the
Haytian difficulty, and that the matter
will be adjusted.
A FIRM NOTE
II developed to-day that Hayti had sent
a reply 10 Germany's demands which is
somewhat remarkable for its firmness. In
view of the difference in size between
the two powers The Haytian note makes
il clear that the republic is ready TO
discuss the merits Of the controversy.
hut does not desire TO have Germany pass
judgment IN the first place demand an
idemnity. and thereafter discuss the
merits. Moreover Hayti gives notice TO
Germany that the German charge DAT
flares TO Hayt who made the recent de-
nands. is persona non grata. and that
81 Is impossible for Hayti 10 conduct fur
fher negotiations with him.
1t IS stated that he offended against
all rules of propriety and official etiquette
BY going directly before the president
of Hayti and in loud and angry tones and
fn n threatening manner threatened dire
consequences 10 Hayti.
This re1sonal anront u Haytis chief ex-
ecutive is regarded as touching the honor
and self-respect of the Republic and IL
felt 10 call for an apology. Under such
circumstances the Haytian government
has expressed willingness 10 negotiate a
settlement of the entire case at Berlin
thus removing this Objectionable German
official now In Hayti.
