BERLIN, Nov. 1a.-tTho oficiai Documents CON
cernine the arrest Of Herr Lueders In Port an
Prince and the subsequent Developments IN the
case, as published by the Government OF hayti,
have been reproduced here.
The documents are moderate in tone, and the
peopio mere recognize that tho position OF Hhyti
was correct, and that Count schwerin. tho Ger
man Minister. was TOO overbearing.
Among the papers 10 q letter sent on Oct
20 BY Mr.. Powell. tho American Minister,
70 tho Haytian Government, asking for
tho release OF Herr Luedors. Mr.. Powell
said he did not wish to intervene
between Hayti and Germany, and that his only
aim was TO prevent bloodshed and disturbance
that would be damaging to American citizens
engaged in trade. Afterward Mr.. Powell prom
ised' II Luedcrs were liberated. that he would
90 sent to New York on the steamer sailing the
next day.
Tho last document is from the Haytian
Secretary of State. He cordially thanks
Mr.. Powell for his action in tho matter
ana says that in view Of tho friend
ship OF Hayu for tho noble and great
American Republic, the Haytian Government
Will issue decree pardoning Lueders. While
noting the promise that Luedors should leave
the island. the Government reserved the right
TO expel him.
Letters to German journals from Port au
Prince differ as to the merits Of tho case. The
correspondent Of the Frankrurter ZeitunD de-
clares that tho business circles in Port au
Prince think that Count Schwerin was too
spirited.
The correspondent Of tho Berliner Post says
that for months there has been vio-
lent agitation against the whites. He adds
that the Haytian police are scoundrels
and thieves. that tho Judges arc bribed
and that perjury 10 hsbitual He further
says that Mr.. Powell had to threaten that IL
Lueders was not liberated American warships
would enter the harbor Of Portau.Prince. Two
days after the liberation of Lueders the Hay.
tians began to fire at night into houses occupied
by Germans.
The incident has greatly excited the Gcrmans.
Herr Lueders is now in Berlin where he is In
communication with the Foreign Offico.

LICENSE QUESTION.
The Citizens of Hartford County are Con-
Sidering This Matter.

oiuSii ing his Ndlter.
The question of whether or not Hartford
county shall have high license law is at
present agitating the minds of all knowing
citizens of that county.
The new movement was first started by
the recent grand iury's report, which stated
in part that ''the local option law in its
present shape is not successful in stopping
the sale of liquor, and we recommend
more stringent law or high license" A
week later the Aegis aud Intelligencer, a
leading Democratic newspaper of Belair,
came out most heartily in favor of a change
from the present local option law to a high
license, stating in its article chat the law
is openly violated all over the county, and
at almost every cross-road in the county,"
which is generally conceded by every we'll
informed citizen. The church people of
the county are being appealed to on this
question, some of whom are willing for a
change from the present law to a stringent
high license law, such as can be recon-
mended by the Legislature, and which will
better the present condition of things 1t
is widely claimed that the conditions now
could not be worse, while a change in the
law would certainly be great benefit to
the community at large, the county in
cluded.
While expressions can be heard as favor
ing change of law, still there is large
sentiment opposing it. meeting of the
residents OF Belair was called recently for
the purpose of receiving expressions favor
ing the local option law and to take the
necessary steps to prevent a change Mich
olas n. Mock, vice-presideat for Hartford
county of the State Temperance League
was made chairman of the meeting, with
w. Frank Keen, secretary. The general
sentiment expressed was strongly in oppo-
stion to any liquor license, high or low,
and that if it became necessary canvass of
she county would be made, inviting the
corporation OF TIE various Christian socie-
ties, in order that the Temperance sentiment
Of the county might be once more aroused
and make itself felt at Annapolis, if any
effort is made to change the present law.
just what action will he taken in the
matter by the forces in favor of change Of
law is not known, but whatever they at
tempt to do will be watched with interest.
