HOW THE GERMANS DID 1T

HUMILIATION OF HAITI.
Rank DiscOurtesy shown the Bearer
of the Indemnity MOney-Many
Indian Tribesmen Slain.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15-The Dutch line
steamer, Oranjo Nassau, Captain Nyober
arrived to-day from Port-au-P Prince, Haiti.
Dec. 9, at the time of sailing. the German
school ships Charlotte and Stein were in
port, as we'll as the American cruiser Mar
blehead, and one French vessel. The
Oranjo Nassau arrived at the Haitian capt.
tai on the evening of the Sth, the same even
ing the German war vessels anchored in the
harbor. One of the officers of the Oranjo
Nassau gave an account of the exciting
scenes that transpired while his ship was at
Port-au-Prince. THE greatest excitement
prevailed throughout the Haitian capital
over the arrival of the German ships, it
being known wide and far that they had
come to enforce the demands Of Germany.
In the absence of an American man-of-'var
(the Marblehead had not then arrived, the
Haitians who talk French almost exclusive
ly, were of the opinion that the commander
of the French ship might side with them
and insist that the question at issue be left
to arbitration. Nothing Of the kind occurred,
however. German ships gave the Hal
tians four hours to pay the ndem-
nifty a notification of intention to
lombard the town at the expiration
of that time accompanying the demand.
The ultimatum was formally presented to
President Sam by the commander of the
Stein who took with. him to the palace
seven or eight of the Stems officers. When
it became generally known that the Ger
man ships would begin to fire on the city
at the end of four hours unless some guar
antee of satisfaction was made, semi
official statement was scattered broadcast
that President Sam had announced his in
tention to fight the matter out. Fearing
bloodshed, hundreds of families fled to the
mountains, taking with them their valua>
bles The grog houses were closed to the
public and to this fact is attributed the
preservation of order Many who were un-
willing to fly to the mountains embarked
on small boats and left the harbor to get
cut Of reach of the German guns. Every
body seemed thoroughly frightened. The
Charlotte's decks were. cleared for action
of Port-au-Prince
1.-The four hours had almost expired, when
the citizens were surprised to see white
flag hoisted on the Presidents palace, and
presently an officer left the shore in a sloop
and went alongside the Charlotte with the
indemnity. Arriving there, it found
that no ladder had been put down to permit
him to get on board, and the courier had
to climb to the deck of the ship as best he
could. 1t was clear display of discouGtesy
to say the least. The official and German
and the latter offered the courier glass
of wine, which was refused. Here the incl
dent ended, and the citizens returned to
their homes from the mountains and sea-
There was general dissatisfaction over the

FIRE AND CASUALTIES.
One Man Killed by 81 Live Wire and
Others Injured in Various Ways.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-While fight
ing a fire in the five-story brick building,
No. 1925 Market street, tonight, Foreman
George Cav, of engine company No. 4, was
struck by a live wire and fell from the
third-hoor landing of the fire escape to the
ground, receiving injuries from which he
probably will die. Foreman Robert Wilsey,
of company No. l. was also struck by live
wire, but was not seriously injured. John
Connors, of Engine Company 20, was hurt
by a falling brick. The flames Quilted the
fifth floor, occupied by +. w. Klinger, man
ufacturer of pocketbooks and fancy leather
goods, and damaged the adjoining building
of William Grevemyer, stationer, at No.
1927. The lower floors of No. 1925, occupied
by number of firms, were damaged by
water. The total loss will easily reach
100000 covered by insurance.
Earlier in the evening the leather goods
factory of Joseph A. Franks, at No. 213
Willow street, was damaged to the extent
of about $4,000. Harry Hines, aged thirty
five years, was knocked down by an engine
on it's way to the fire, and was so badly
injured that he is not expected to live. An
other engine struck and badly injured VAL
entine Hoffner, aged thirty-nine, and Hose
man John McCuen, aged twenty-six, was
thrown from a hose cart and severely
bruised.

British in Bara Valley.
SIMLA, Dec. 15.-Further details from the
front regarding the march of General
Westmacott's brigade down the Bara valley
show it to have been accompanied by the
most desperate fighting since Dargai Ridge.
The enemy, for the first time of the whole
campaign, exposed themselves in their eff
forts to cut off the rear guard, and poured
in a constant Lee Metford and Martini-
Henry rifle fire, in replying to which the
British troops exhausted their pouches of
ammunition. While the rear guard was
worn out by constant attacks and in diff
cult position, the enemy made the coup of
tired soldiers stood firm, and a whitening
independent fire swept. the advancing
tribesmen, who charged almost to the bay
onets point. The Afridis, decimated, wav-
cred and then retreated to cover, from
which they continued a -harraSsing fusil-
with the rising of the moon. In spite of
the vigilance of the scouts, some of the
enemy got between the fianking bodies and
the main column and kept up an unceasing
fire, during which the Jamadar who was
leading General Westmancott's horse was
didly and inflicted the most severe punish
ment on the enemy which the latter has
yet sustained, quite four hundred men fall
