GERM ANY
Threatens Serious Trouble for Hayti
on Account of Harsh Treatment of
German Subject.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Port Au Prince, Hayti, October 3d.
Serious trouble has arisen between
Hayti and Germany. The German
Minister to this republic, Count
Schwerin, has hauled down his flag
and, according to the current report,
three German warships are expected
here to back up the ultimatum of the
Minister to Hayti, demanding an in
demnity for the alleged illegal arrest
and Imprisonment of a German citizen.
The affair has caused considerable eX-
element among the native population,
and some of the people have threatened
to kill the German Minister and all the
Germans in this place and vicinity.
The affair grew out of the arrest
here, few weeks ago, of young Ger
man named Linders. The Germans
say that dozen policemen entered
Linders house and arrested one of his
servants. Mr.. Linders went to Central
Police headquarters to complain against
this action of the police, but was him.
self arrested, charged with assaulting
and attempting to murder police officers
in the execution of their duty. LinderS
was promptly condemned to pay fine
of $4S and to undergo one months inn
prisonment and was taken to Jail.
Claiming he was innocent, Linders
demanded and obtained second trial.
Witnesses testified that they had not
seen Mr.. Linders strike any of the po-
licemen 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 condemned
to pay fine of $500 and was sentenced
to one years Imprisonment.
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 asking for in
structions on the subject. On October
II the German minister went to the
President of Hayti, Augustin Simon
Sam, and demanded in the name Of
the German emperor that Mr.. Linders
be set free and also demanded for
every day he had spent in prison, %
in all, an indemnity Of 81 900 in gold,
adding that for every day Linders was
kept a prisoner after that notification
he (the German minister) would de-
mand an indemnity of $4,000 in gold.
AT first the Haytien president refused
to grant the German minister's de-
mand, and Mr. Linders remained six
days longer in prison. This caused the
German minister to notify the Haytien
government that Mr.. Linders had not
been freed he had hauled down his flag
and sent the archives CT the German lie
cation to the legation of the United
States, thus breaking OF all relations
with the Haytien government.
This caused great excitement here
and disturbances would have occurred
had they not been averted by sending
Mr.. 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 that the
German minister. on the arrival of the

BL0ODSHED OVER BIVALVES
Oyster Tongers Determined to Work on
Beds in Dispute.

oyster lOnSefS Determined TO WORK on
Beds in Dispute.
Millville, N. j., October 30.-The oys-
ter tongers from Dividing Creek, Port
Norris, Cedarville and Newport started
for the mouths of Oronoken and Fish
ing creeks early this morning to work
on the sixteen miles of dry beds which
a syndicate claims to own. The toagers
were met by steam launch filed with
a squire and constables, and as none of
them had returned at late hour to-
night it is feared that there has been
serious trouble. The boats cannot set
up the creeks until tomorrow morn
ing On account Of the tides.
President Tubman, of the Tongers'
Association, says that if the men are
arrested they will still continue to work
On the beds.
These beds are worth $4,000 a year,
and if the syndicate succeeds in run
ming the tongers from the beds they
will be compelled to leave their homes,
and the villages will be deserted, as
all the citizens are employed in the
oyster industry. This fact makes the
tongers desperate, and they will prob
ably shed blood before they will sub
nit to the syndicate. They have en-

Cincinnati, O., October 30-Presi-
dent Mckinley and party arrived
promptly on time on the 10:45 a. m
train, debarking at Terrence Road, a
station two miles from the terminal de-
pot. great crowd had gathered at
the little station, which is merely a
crossing. A salute of twenty-one guns
was fired. while cheers from the null
titude mingled with the echoes of the
cannon. The President was gracious
in his recognition of the honor shown
him, as he appeared on the platform
with Charles F. G. Schmedlapp, of the
reception committee. He bowed re-
peatedly as again and again the cor
dial greetings were conveyed to him
The party Immediately took carriages
for Mr.. Schmedlapps home, where the
President and party will be enter
tanned.
The Chamber of Commerce reception
was a genuine crush Half an hour
before the time for the arrival Of the
President the vast room, cleared of it's
blackboards and grain tables, was
packed with men and women, and the
Stairways were crowded with strug-
Cling men desiring to gain entrance.
Colonel Cochran, with a detachment
of the Sixth infantry, formed a line
in front of the building, and when the
President appeared gave a military
salute. When the President and party
had reached the rostrum, amid the
cheers of the throngs on the streets
and in the hall, President McCallister,
of the Chamber OF Commerce, intro
duced the President of the United
States when the applause subsidized.
President Mckinley, speaking with a
clear voice, said:
1T gives me pleasure to see this rep
resentative body of the business men OF

of Cincinnati. Among the many causes
Of congratu,ation to be observed in our

GOOD DOLLARS,
So Far as Weight and Fineuess Are
Concerned That Uncle Sam Wont
Accept.

st. Louis, Mo-, October 30.-Counter-
felt silver dollars of greater weight
and fineness that those turned out
from Uncle Sans mint are the latest
in the coinackers' art. For the last
week St. Louis bank tellers have been
accepting the counterfeits in question
without hesitation. 1t was only when
they reached the st. Louis treasury
that the spurious character was detect
ed.
According to Col. Small, the coins
weigh 1872 grains, more than the genu-
inc, which weighs Az grains. It's fine
uess is "a per cent, while that Of the
genuine is but 80 per cent.
