/ ERMANS BACK DOWN
THEY CONCLUDE NOT TO SEND A
wARsHlP TO HAITI

The Hasty Young War Lord Changes His
Mind Respecting the Bombsrdment Of
the Black Repubifo-orders For the
GeHou TO Sail Are Recalled.
washington, Dec. 1.-The German
government has made a complete back
down In the Haitian incident, without
doubt the result of the interference of
the United States. Germany's pro-
gramme was to send a warship to the
black republic TO make a demonstration
OF force and TO compel redress for the
alleged indignlties suffered by Herr
Emil Lueders, a German subject.
Instead OF carrying out this plan the
German foreign office has recalled the
order for the sailing of the warship
Geflon and has made explanations to
the United States ambassador. Andrew
d. White, which have satisfied this
government that the German war lords
intentions now are strictly peaceful.
When II was first announced that
Germany intended to make a naval dis
play at Port au Prince, the capital Of
Haiti, the Berlin papers were full Of
war talk. The affair was called to the
attention Of Secretary Sherman, who
after discussing the subject with Presi-
dent Mckinley, took prompt action.
A message was sent to Elmbassador
White instructing him to watch the
progress Of the Haitian incident and to
intimate, automatically, to Germany
that any overt act on Haiti would be
considered by the government Of the
United States violation of the prln-
ciples OF the Monroe doctrine.
Would Not Permit Oppression.
It was stated that the United states
would not permit Germany to oppress or
harass Haiti in any manner other than
In conformity with international law
and strictly in accordance with the in
significant character of Germany's
claims against the black republic.
When this became known in Berlin,
the newspapers were violent in their
declarations that there must be mo
interference on the part of the United
States government In the affairs OF Ger
many"
One paper said that 1t had 1t from a
trustworthy source that Germany would
not brook any interference" by the
United States in the Haitian affair.
But all this was mere talk and by no
means reflected the actual intentions of
Germany. Embassador-White was yes.

The Arrest, 1t Is Believed. VIII Unearth
a Big Gang.


a Big Gang.
Pittsburg, Nov. 20. - PostofIice In
spectors German and Owings made an
arrest last night which they believe will
lead to the unearthlng of gang of mail
robbers.
John c. Hutchinson, who has been
letter carrier in the Pittsburg office
since 1889, was detected In the act of
taking a letter containing S12 from the
street box at Smithheld and Diamond
streets. He was allowed to go to the
office. one block distant, with his trip
and was arrested when leaving the Of
fee a short time later. The letter and
money were found on his person. The
decoy letter had been sealed with seal
ing wax before being deposited In the
box. When taken from Hutchinson the
seal was apparently intact, yet the
money was in his hand tightly rolled
into a wad.
Hutchinson broke down and confessed
his guilt. He implicated no accom-
plices, but the officers feel certain that
there are others who have been working
with Hutchinson In a systematic rifling
of letters, and more arrests are ex-
Dected.

Washington, Nov. 2o.-The first annu-
al report OF Secretary Of the Navy
Long is notable for the apparent halt
recommended in naval construction.
The policy of his predecessors was to
urge the material development of the
fleet much on the lines laid down by
the various boards which have dealt
with this vital subject, and congress
has usually been called upon to excise
rather than to increase the number OF
vessels set down as necessary for the
pressing demands OF the country. The
public mind has become so accustomed
to this progressive development that
the modesty of Mr.. Long 9 recommen.
datiop Of only one battleship will come
much In the nature of surprise.

EMpAssApoR WHITE.

terday received by Baron Won Bulow,
the minister for foreign affairs. Mr..
White informed the baron that the
United States cruiser Marblehead had
been ordered to southern waters. He
also intlmated in no uncertain manner
that the state department desired to
know Just what Germany intended
to do.
Baron Won Bulow FASTENED TO assure
the ambassador that Germany had re-
called the order for the sailing of the
warship to Haiti and that her only plan
now was to collect a reasonable In
demnity from Haiti because of the treat
ment received by Herr Lueders. This
was perfectly satisfactory to Mr.. White
who at once cebled the result of his
mission to Secretary Sherman.
Msrblehead to Hurry.
Reports that came to the state de-
partment late yesterday afternoon from
Haiti were to the effect that considera-
bic excitement prevailed there and that
the situation was grave. For this rea-
son it was determined to hasten the
departure OF the Marblehead, and the
naval officials We're communicated with
to this end.
The impression appeared to prevail in
Port au Prince that a German warship
was rapidly approaching the place. OF
course II is said now that the Marble
head goes solely for the purpose of pro-
tecting American interests that might
be threatened by the outbreak of dis
order in Haiti.
In addition to this, II is the opinion
of the administration that the time is
now ripe for a renewal of the practice
of having the United States navy rep
resented in the waters os the gulf Of
Mexico and the Caribbean sea.
For several years, save an occasional
cruiser sent with all haste on her way
to or from the south Atlantic station.
not vessel OF the navy has gone be-
yond the southern waters OF Florida,
for the reason that the presence Of
United States war vessels in the neigh
borhood Of the Spanish Antilles might
have served to create an erroneous i'm
preston as to the attitude of the Unit
ed States toward the Cuban insurgents
and have tended to complicate the re-
lations between the United States and
Spain.
Now, however, with the improvement
In the conditions in Cuba and the con-
tlnued existence Of good relations be-
tween the two governments. the navy
department win let some Of the small
er vessels of the navy go into West In
dia waters.
The Marblehead will make her head
quarters at Port au Prince. on the west
coast OF Haiti, and will be charged
with the protection Of American in
terests generally In that section OF the
West Indies.

THE SUGAR MAR KET'S FUT URE.
From the Pail Mall Gszette,)

$4,000
The Economists Francois has an inter.
esting article by NJ. Paul Leroy Beau
lieu, in which that eminent political
economist states that the constantly in
creasing production of sugar and the fall
in price resulting therefrom must newt
ably bring about the ruin of an industry
upheld solely by a dangerous system of
protection. Although Cuba produced in
1887 only 200, 900 tons against 100000
tons in 1884 the worlds production last
year reached the stupendous total of
Z, 2O4, 900 tons, of which 2, 1872 600 tons were
cane and 4.772, 600 tons beet sugar. The
selling price of the latter is down to IS
cd. per hundredweight, (less than that of
wheat and the probability is that values
will fall still further, in view of the enor-
nous beet crop just raised under excep-
tionally favorable weather circumstances
The Magdeburg estimates published in
a recent number of The Pail Mall Ca
Zette, giving total of 1868, 600 tons,
against 1851 900 last year, do not include
Russia, Belgium, Holland, and Sweden,
all of which countries are making rapid
strides in the production of beet sugar
What, asks M. Leroy Beaulieu, will be
come of the market when Cuba is paci-
fed, as she will be some day? L'Engrais,
the organ of the French sugar hand fer
tilizer manufacturers, says In it's last is
sue: SAN far-seeing persons are of
opinion that refiners will have to curtajl
their purchases of sugar beet unless they
wish to swamp the worlds markets and
cause fresh slump in prices. AS beef
culture consumes two-thirds of the ouan-
tity of nitrate of soda produced. it is evil
dent that decrease in the area of culti-
walton spells a curtailment of the use of
nitrate" The sugar bounties have much
to answer for beyond the ruin of the
West Indies.
