uAyrI YEARS ANNEXATION.
Appeals to tho United stntcs for Protection
Against Germany.

Against Germany.
New York, Nov. 30.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
The Haytian government has asked
the United States to use its offices for
the settlement of Its controversy with
Germany.
Ambassador White is feeling the
pulse Of the German authorities on this
phase of the subject and II II can be
ascertained beforehand that Germany
viii not reject the good offices of the
United States they VIII be rendered.
Thus far, the United States has held
aloof from the controversy, Ambassa-
dor White has received instructions to
ascertain what the German program
is. The administration does not want
to put itself In n position where II
can be given rebuff by Germany. A
refusal to accept our good offices II
rendered would he equivalent to telling
the United States to mind its own
business, and this government could
properly take no exceptions to such ac-
ton. While believing that Germany
has taken an unnecessarily harsh
course, there Is no disposition on the
part of the administration to interfere
by protest or otherwise as long as
Germany. In pressing her claims
against Hayti keeps within the bounds
Of sound practice in international law.
There Is no expectation that Ger
many has any other designs upon
Hayti than that included I'm her de-
mand for indemnity for alleged out
ragged upon Herr Lueders.
The Haytian government, however
insists that this case has been taken
as a pretext for more energetic motive
Of annexation.

paying n duty of less than 80 per cent

Decision Favorable TO Tobacco Men.
New York. Nov 30.-A decision of
much Importance to the tobacco i'm
porting interest has been rendered
by the board of general appraisers, n
FAVOR OF the importer. The case was
test one, coming UP on n protest
made by Rothschild & Bro. tobacco
merchants of this city, against rul-
Ing of collector Bidwell In regard to
The class.tlcdtion OF four bales OF to-
haceo and the assessment of duty
thereon. These bales consisted chiefly
of filled tobacco. By the decision of
the collector the filler and wrapper
materials were separated. and all the
wrapper tobacco was assessed for duty
at Sl.Sh per pound while the filler was
dutiable at 30 cents per pound. The
importers claimed that each bale
should be assessed as n unit of 30
cents per pound and that so small an
amount as less than 10 per cent of
wrapper tobacco could not properly be
separated from II.
The question ut issue excited great
interest, not only among tobacco i'm

manufacturers in Florida, and n law

here to argue the case before the gen
