SIMON WILL SUBMIT.
The Black Republic Expected to Accede
to Germany's Demand.

to Germany's Demand.
PORT AU PRINCE. Dec. Present
indications seem to confirm the suppo-
sition that the government will accept
the conditions imposed by Germany so
far as money indemnity in the L1eders
case is concerned and it is also proba-
BILE that, yielding to superior force and
in order to avoid internal troubles the
government will accept the other condi-
tions.
The exact nature of Germany's de-
mands on Haiti is as yet somewhat in
doubt but it is understood that the
German government asks:
First. an indemnity of $4,000 (Ameri-
cam for Herr Lueders: second, the
promise that Herr Lueders may return
to Haiti and there sojourn without dan
ger of any kind; third. a letter to the
German government in which Haiti will
express apology for the proceedings to-
ward the German government in the
whole transaction; fourth, that the
president of Haiti shall graciously re-
ceive the German charge. d'affaires at
Port au Prince.
1t is this fourth demand to which the
most serious exception has been taken
by the Haitian government, as affecting
Haiti's honor and involving deep hu-
initiation, for il was Count Schwerin,
the German charge d'affaires at Port au
Prince, who went before President ST.
mon Sam and rudely submitted the de-
mand for indemnity and apology.

A MINE EXPLOSION.
Three Men Are Fatally Hurt and Others
Have Very Narrow Escapes.

PITTSTON, Pa, Dec. IA terrific ex-
plosion of gas in the Clear Spring mine
will cost three men their lives. The re-
markable escape of seven others from
a living tomb forms a thrilling incident
in the accident. The injured men are
Adam Donavitch, Peter Donavitch and
Alexander Dorbrastey. How the acci-
dent occurred is not clear, for the men
who figured in it are all foreigners and
unable to tell a coherent story.
The Clear Spring mine is situated
across the river from this town. The
first intimation of mishap was when
the earth violently shook and caused
whole blocks of houses to sway. The
explosion wrecked the mine, and great
masses of coal and rock obstructed the
work of the rescuers. The seven en-,
tombed men were rescued after several
hours work. One of them said that a
runaway car had knocked loose a prop
This fell and with it caved in mass of
rock, the gas escaping from the open
ing thus caused. The mine is badly
damaged

NO PLACES FOR WEST POINTERS,
The Graduating Class Must Wait Months for
CommtsaIouS-

WASHINGTON. June IA problem confronts
the army authorities regarding the disposition
OF the large class which is to be graduated at
West Point on the 18th. On that day sixty.ive
young men will step from cadet ranks presum-
ably into commissions as Second Lieutenant. hut
for the first time since the Military Academy
was founded there is not a single vacancy in any
OF the four branches OF the service for the new
officers, nor is there much prospect that any
large number will occur in the coming year.
Every man of the class will probably have to go
without his commission as Il full-iedged Second
Lieutenant for months, and the lower men OF
the class for perhaps eighteen months or longer.
The war authorities say this condition OF at.
fairs is not solely due 10 the unusually small
number OF retirements and casualties. A largo
number OF. privates and non-commissioned offi-
GERS have been appointed from the ranks In the
last year. although the vacancies should have
been retained for the West Pointers. The law.
however. they ind. declares that the enlisted
men shall receive recognition in appointments
as commissioned officers. and the department
holds that the number chosen last year was due
10 the large percentage OF candidates examined
for retirements that had become entitled TO pro-
motion.
Under the existing circumstances many of
this class will fail of appointments unless an
ments occur in the next twelve days. Even ad-
ditional Lieutenants, who were appointed from
the class graduated last June. arc now awaiting
commissions, and must be provided for before
any OF the new class receive commissions. There
are also seven enlisted men entitled TO appoint
ment ahead OF the new class II vacancies occur
before June IL.
This years final graduating class at Annapolis
will be provided for and appointments will he
made early in July, twenty-four being assigned
TO the line and one 10 the Marine Corps. Eight
assistant engineers will be commissioned at tho
same time. Several vacancies will remain over
also for the class to DO graduated one year hence.

TAILoRs' STRIKE NEARLY OYER.
The Men Gaining Ground and CONFIDENT or u.
Innate Success.

There were indications yesterday that the
strike of the Brotherhood Of Tailors is nearing
an end. Instead of lasting until the end Of
June, as was predicted. there was reason to be-
neve yesterday that ten days more would be its
limit and that the tailors would win unless q
sudden change in the situation occurs. A con-
ference was held late on Monday evening be-
tween representatives Of wholesale clothing
houses aud Of the strikers and contractors with
and preventing such strikes in the future. No
plan was agreed on that would meet the exigen-
cies OF the case, and IL was learned yesterday
that little hope is entertained. as the trade is
now conducted. of heading off such strikes.
The Knee Pants Makers Union is getting
ready to declare a general strike some time this
week. There are 5000 members in the union in
New York, Brooklyn. and Brownsville. The de-
nand will be for q small increase on present
rates, and this is expected to be readily granted.
The Childrens Jacket Makers have made
such headway in settling their strike that ls0
out OF $50 contractors had come to terms yes
terday. The union has fixed upon next Satur
day for declaring the strike of. The Lithuanian
tailors. numbering about LOO, gained their de-
mAnds yesterday. Meyer Schoenfeld, the strike
leader. said that he expected that by Friday one
half of the members of the Brotherhood OF Tailors
poets that the contractors will break ranks next
week.
A mass meeting OF the Brotherhood of Tailors
was held in Cooper Union last night, at which
the taiors again ratified the demands of the
union There was an overflow meeting outside
OF the hall, which was addressed by speakers
from a truck. About fifty policemen were in
and around the hall TO preserve order.
