HlYT'S INSULT TO GERMANY
GERMAN WARsHIPs EN- ROUTE
TO RESENT IT.
Affair Grew Out eff the Arrest of a
German Haytiens Threaten to
Kill All Germans.


Port au Prince, Hayti. Oct. 21.-TCor-
respondence of the Associated Press.l
Serious trouble has arisen between
Hayti and Germany. The German
minister. to this republic, Count
Schwerin, has hauled down his flag,
and, according TO current report. three
German warships ars expected here
to back up the ultimatum of the min
lister TO Rayti, demanding an intiem-
nifty for the alleged illegal arrest and
imprisonment of a German citizen. The
affair has caused considerable excite
ment among the native population,
and some of the people have threat
ened to kill the German minister and
all the Germans in the place and vi
entity.
The affair grew out of the arrest here
few weeks ago of a young German
named Linders. The Germans say
that a dozen policemen entered Lin
ders' house and arrested one of his
servants Mr.. Linders went to the
central police headquarters to complain
against this action of the police, but
was himself arrested, charged with as
saulting and attempting 10 murder po-
lice officers in the execution of their
7 y
to pay a fine of $4S and to undergo one
/ m0nGhs Imprisonment, and was taken
TO Jail Claiming he was innocent Lin
! ders demanded and Obtained a second
trial Witnesses testified that they
had not seen Mr.. Linders strike any
of the policemen, and that even if he
had done so, under the circumstances,
he would not have broken the laws of
Hayti. In spite of this, Linders was
law =
was sentenced TO one years imprison-
ment.
While the affair was purely in the
hands Of the courts, the German min
lister could do nothing to assist Lin
ders in a diplomatic way But when
the second judgment was rendered, the
minister telegraphed to Berlin, giving
details of the case, and asked for in
struCtions on the subject. On Oct. II,
the German minister Went to the presi-
dent of Hayti, Augustin Simonsam,
and demanded in the name of the Ger
man emperor that MIR. Linders be set
at liberty, and also demanded for ev-
cry day he had spent in prison, % in
I all, an indemnity of LOCO in gold, add
! ing that for every day Linders was
/ kept prisoner after that notification,
| he (the German MINISTRY would de
mand an indemnity Of $1,000 in gold
!
fused to grant the German minister's
| demand, and Mr.. Linders remained six
days longer in prison. This caused the
| German minister to notify the Hay
tan government that as Mr. Linders
/ had not been freed, he had hauled
i down his flag and had sent the archives
/ of the German legation to the legation
of the United States, thus breaking off
all relations With the Haytian govern
ment
This caused great excitement, and
| disturbances would have occurred had
they not been avoided by sending Mr..
j Linders, who was threatened with
! lynching, on board steamer bound
/ for New York. from which port he was
to leave for Germany.
1t is said the German minister. on the
7 arrival of the warships, will insist on
! the payment of the indemnity de-
manded as a result of the imprison-
ment of Mr.. Linders.

CEREAL PRODUCT OF AUSTRALIA
Interesting Report From Our Agri-
cultural Department

Interesting Report From Our Agri-
cultural Department
Washington, Oct 31--secretary VIII
son Of the department of agriculture
has just issued a report prepared under
his direction by Frank H. Hitchcock,
chief of the section of foreign markets,
that gives some interesting facts rela-
tive to the present wheat shortage in
Austria Hungary, and the consequent
importation into that country Of Amer
lean grain.
According to the United States con-
sui at Reichenburg. Austria, an inp0r-
tation of 400 carloads OF American
wheat was made as early as August,
coming by the way of Hamburg. Other
impor;ations We're reported. among
them one OF Sc. 700 bushels Of red win
ter No. , and Kansas wheat. purchased
through the Vienna produce exchange.
After recounting these unusual impor-
| tations of the present season. the bull
| letin presents a review of the grain sit
uatie'n in Hungary during the
past ten years. The crop Of the pres
ent season is remarkably small If the
official estimates quoted are fulfilled
| the combined wheat production of Aus
tria and Hungary will amount TO Little
more than 130. 0G0,0 GOO bushels, or $4,000. e.
600 bushels short of the crop harvested
IN 1896. Aside from the Abnormal con-
( ditions of the present year, annual sta
tistics of production, importation and
expectation during the decade make it
apparent that q marked change has
occurred in the last few years as re-
CARDS the grain situation in Austria
Hungary. The tendency of the var
ious cereals has been toward larger
home consumption of the national prod
uct, and consequent reduction of the
surplus available for shipment to other
lands. Most Of the cereals are now
brought into the country in larger
/ quantities than are exported. Barley
is the only grain of which any consid-
cradle amount continues to be shipped
abroad.
! In respect to other cereals. the status
/ of the monarchy is apparently that of
/ transition from an exporting into an
! importing country. While it is hardly
| to he expected that these VIII, to any
/ extent, create an enlarged demand for
American cereals. the facts set forth
/ are certainly of interest as indicating
/ the lessened Importance Of Austria
/ Hungary among the countries with
/ which the United tSates is obliged to
/ compete in the grain markets of the
world.
The flour trade with Brazil is large
and increasing, reaching 10 994 barrels
/ per annum during 1925. This in
creasing hold upon the market should
! be increased very considerably by the
/ millers Of the United States.

ALL PREDICT A VICTORY

committee, when seen last evening, was
notsin as exuberant a mood as might
have been expected. He did not care to
say anything about the result except
ing the party expected to win. Mr..
Evans declared the committee had in
structed MIR. Geddes to prepare a state
ment for The Herald and furnish it.
but at a late hour this morning, Mr..
Geddes had not put in an appearance,
so it is presumed he did not finish the
same.
Joe Lippman, however. furnished
some information. His was of a sort of
algebraic character. Joe says that fig
ures obtained by the canvassers of their
rarty shows that in the city, outside
the Fourth ward, there are 1853 Re-
publicans and 3,20S Democrats. 20S0
non-partisans, 275 Populists and an es-
timated 1900 who viii not declare any
preference. II the Fourth ward, ac-
cording to his estimate. there are 500
Republicans ard 600 Democrats, $50
PoDulists, and the balance non-parti-
sans. Joe thinks the non-partisans will
carry the Fourth. as they are the
strongest up there.
It IS on this basis the Republicans
expect to win in the city.
