Port Au Prince, Dec. THE trouble
between Germany and Hayti appears to
be settled. The Haytian government
mas saluted the German flag and the for

the alleged illegal arrest and imprison-

all the demands of that country have
been agreed to by the government OF
Hayti in the face OF the display OF force
made by Germany and under the threat
of q bombardment of the defensive works
Of the port unles. these demands were
agreed within the eight hours following
the time the German uitimatum was de-
livered yesterday morning, shortly af-
ter the arrival at this port OF the two
German cruisers sent to back up the de-
mands of the German minister here.

President Mckinley is in an unpleasant

of a great failure
The Pail Mall Gazette takes favora-
bic view of the presidential message and
c1iticizes the comments OF the Times, re-
marking that it is as impossible ''to dead
with the Cuban question without offend
ing Spain as 1t would be to deal with
Armenia without offending the sultan" !"
The Globe is Of the opinion that it
would have taxed the abilities even of
a great statesman" to deal with the
question satisfactorily, adding: CAL
though all the arguments against the
annexation of Cuba are equally applica-
bic to Hawaii, the United States is de-
termined to have the latter, though
America, fourth-Tate naval power as
it is, can only hold Hawaii on suffer-
bundled out, neck and crop, by and first
rate power which finds it necessary to
occupy the island.

caise today says the tone Of President
McKinley's message to congress sis con-

fer it now? Because they are convinced
of their defeat. This is a signal victory
for the Cuban arms, since through force
Spain comedies at present what she for
| merly refused to grant willingly.
"Spain desires to end the war in
Cuba quickly, but she can only do so
by acknowledging the independence of
the island. Never before was Cuba so
strong a. She is now. Spain has never
been so weak since the war began. 1t is

to crown their efforts
THE MESSAGE IN MADRID.
Madrid, Dec. THE cabinet today
considered dispatches from Senor De
LONE, Spanish minister at Washington,
containing extracts from President Nc
kinley's message 10 congress. The min
listers agreed in considering the mes
sage generally favorable to Spain. Its
tone has produced a good effect in Off
cial circles, but it is pointed out that
"the paragraphs relating to the alleged
rights OF the United States to intervene
displease the Spanish people"
The message pleasantly surprised the
majority Of Spaniards, VINO hardly ex-
pected that President Mckinley would
go so far in his approval of the new col
onial policy or mis- recognition OF Spain's
right to be allowed the time necessary
to carry out the same.
They are especialiy satisfied to see the
United States executive state so power
fully the precedents IN international
law regarding belligerency and disclaim
any intention of interfering with Spain's
rights. They are le,s satisfied with the
censure passed on the previous colonial
policy, and with the contention that the
United States mas tried to check filibus-
terers
The council, however, has noted with
satisfaction '%he fact that the message
affirmy the amicaIole relations between
the two countries which, in some quar-
ters, were supposed to be endangered,
and the respect expressed for the sim
cerity Of Spains initiative"
Spain declines to admit this conten-
ton, but on the whole the prevalent i'm
preston is THAT President McKinley's
attitude is more favorable than was
President Grants in the former Cuban
insurrectiGn.
Financial and political circles welcome
the prospect of less tension between
Spain and the United States and of a
truce giving time TO test the new policy.

Boston, Dec. 7-Seventeen of the thir-
ty-two cities Of the commonwealth i1eld
their municipal elections today. In a
majority of the cases the Republicans
were successful in eleoting their mayor
and securing control of the city govern
ment, although the results Show That the
idea of independent or non-partisan con-
troll of municipalities is steadily growing
in favor. re-
Seven of the seventeen mayors chosen
won upon other than straight party
nominations, although nearly all had
party endorsements. Six mayors were
reelected.
On the license question, the contest
was closely fought, but the advocates OF
no license lost much ground and
