Monroe Doctrine Is Involved-Ambas-
sador White Has Been Instructed To
Watch Developments.
Washington, November 29.-The atten-
tionEof the Department of State has been
formally directed to the friction that has
arisen between German and Hayti. as a
result of the arrest by officials Of the lat
ter country of half-blood named Lueders.
While the department. has watched the
matter for come time past it was not
until today that the case came formally
before it through the appearance there
If MIR. Leger, the minister from Hayti
to Washington.
The minister came to consult Assistant
Secretary Day and the attitude OF Ger
many in Lueder's case was discussed.
The intimation was given out at tne
State Department. that our government
so far has gone only to the length OF
instructing Ambassador White at Ber-
lin to watch developments and keep his
government informed. He, will lodge
protest only in the event of the per-
formance by Germany of some act that
is not consistent with justice and inter
national law; something that is not an
ticipated here. In other words the State
Department does not feel that it has
right to interpose SO long as the demands
of Germany for redress are kept within
bounds of sound practice in information
al disputes, following in this the preced.
ent set by the last administration when
it permitted the landing of British troops
at Corinto, Nicaragua, to secure indemni-
ty for the i'll treatment of British con-
sular officers. 1t does not follow from
this, however, that the administration
will look with unconcern upon any
sought to be put in force by Germany
towards the little island republic.
The department has been informed that
the statement OF facts that has been made
in the case of Lueders has been some
what misleading in that it makes some
important omissions For instance the
foundation of the claim of Hayti that it
had the right to punish the man as it
did, lies in an assertion that he was
citizen of Hayti. Lueders was born in
Hayti of a German father and a native
Haytien woman, and according to the
Iaws of the republic that made the child
q full-fedged citizen OF Hayti. Al6ogeth-
er the case is regarded at the State De-
partment as one that might properly be
adjusted through the regular channels
of diplomatic negotiations, instead of
through the strong means of demonstTa-
tions in force, particularly in view of the
fact that Lueders is now at liberty and
in Germany, and the ascute phase.
