SUCCUMBED TO FORGE.
The Trouble Between Germany and
 Hayti Settled.
TIE LEAST OF TWO EVILS WAS CHOSEN,
The Money Indemnity Paid and the Ger. man Flag Saluted by the Haytian Flagship in the Harbor
 of Port-au-Prince.

poRr-AU-P PRINCE, Dec. s.-The trouble between Germany and Hayti appears to be settled. The Haytian govern ment has saluted the German flag, and the foreigners who had sought refuge m board ships in the harbor have re- turned to their homes.
 It is understood that the question of the indemnity demanded by Germany for the alleged illegal arrest and inn prisonment of Herr Lueders has been settled to the satisfaction of Germany, and that all the demands of that coun- try have been agreed to by the government of Hayti. in face of the display of force made by Germany. and under the threat of a bom mbardment of the defensive works of the port unless these demands were agreed to within sthe eight hours fol- lowing the tune the German ultimatum was delivered, Monday morning. short lv after the arrival at this port of the two German cruisers sent to back up the demands of the German minister here.
 The first part of the settlement took place at six o'clock Monday night, when the Hay fleet formally saluted the German flag from the flag ship of the fleet of Hayti, the Crete A. Pierrot, small vessel armed with a lew guns of light caliber.
 Admiral Kilick, the Haytian com mander, had charge of the formal sa- lute of the German flag. While the flag of the republic was being dipped on board the Crete A. Pierrot to the standard of Germany, the band of the Haytian navy played the German na- tional anthem and the Haytien flag ship fired 2l guns, which were an- swered by the German flagship, the Charlotte, which is used as school ship.
 The second part of the settlement took place Tuesday morning when Count Schwerin, the German minister to Hayti was formally and solemnly received by the Hay tian officials. The latter it is understood have assured the German authorities that summary justice will be promptly meted out to those of the officials of Hayti who caused the arrangement between the republic and Germany.
