From the German standpoint the Hay
tisn case Is simple one OF collecting in
demnity for an ofTense against a German
citizen. II lis pointed out tina; Germany
has not presented an ulttmatum 20 Hay

Hayrian waters; no intimation has
been made THAI force would be exercised
against rhe republic The only tangible
facts thus Ear, according 10 the German
view cs the case, are that an indignity
has been committed against German
subject, causing nirs pecuniary loss. and
thar Germany hse asked an indemnify
OF coo 900 marks. Eeyond this. Il is said.
the reports of Germanys ultimate pur-
pose elmer in exerting force or in land
ing on Hay tan soil are purely conject-
ural and not such as the United States
government will Dc likely 20 take cogniz-
ance Of Amcns leading diplomats IA

Monroe doctrine cannot become involved
except through determination by Ger
many 10 hold a part OF Haytian Terri-
sory Germany has no such purpose. II
Ia said. bu, is merely DESTROYS Of securing
an indemnity. II is probable that Ger
many would readily give assurances that
no territorial extension was involved, II
1t were not for the fact that such assur-
ance would concede the right OF the
United States to take hand in the mat
ter. 1t is no, likely that any concession
OF this character will be made. as il Is
believed that Germany VII maintain her
right TO settle this indemnity question
with Hayti in her own way and viii in
sist that the United States herself recog-
uized the principle in demanding of Tur-
key indemnity for outrages committed
on American citizens.
UNCLE SAINTS GOOD OFFICES.
New York, Nov so.-A special 10 the
Herald from Washington says: The
Haytian government has asked the Unit
ed States 20 use its good offices for the
settlement OF its controversy with Ger
many. Ambassador White is feeling the
pulse OF the German authorities on this
phase of the subject and IL ii can be as
certained beforehand that Germany viii
not reject the good Offices OF the United
States they will be rendered.
TIL administration Is reluctant 20 be-
lleve that IL will De called upon TO make
any assertion about the application OF
emit controversy, but state department Of
ficials do not deny that this government
will take a very firm stand should Ger
many make any movement in the direc-
ton Of permanent occupancy Of Hay
tan territory.
For the purpose OF giving adequate
protection to American interests and 10
show Germany that this government Is
alert, Secretary Long. after consultation
win the president has directed the cruls-
er Marblehead 20 make a cruise IN the
West Indies. stopping at Hayti. The in
structions have not yet been sent 10 the
commander OF the cruiser, but there is
resson to believe that they wIIl direct
him 10 anchor In the harbor OF Port Au
Prince and see that Germany takes no
action in contravention OF the principles
OF international law.
