WASHINGTON. Dec. 2-The exact ma
ture Of Gerniany's demands on Hayti
have just become known for the first
time. The details came Ivy way of the
steamer from Port au Prince, and show
the demands to be as follows:
Tristan indemnity of $4,000 (Amcri-
can) for Emil Lueders.
Second The promise that Mr.. Lueders
may return to Hayti and sojourn without
danger of any kind.
Third-A letter expressing apology for
the proceedings toward the German gov
eminent in the whole transaction
Fourth-I hat the president of Hayti
shall graciously receive the German
charge datfaires at Port au Prince.
The money demand was regarded by
Hayti US tar less important than the
other three, which We're considered as
affecting Hayti's honor. The demand
that the president receive Count
Schwerin graciously was looked upon
as involving deep humiliation as it
was this official who had gone before
the president and rudely submitted his
demands. 1t was this fourth demand
which led Hayti to prepare for an
eventuality.

his opino on that not much will DO &C.

"There is possibility" he said,
"that the house may take some action
regarding the currency providing the
president sends message to congress
recommending the retirement OF the
greenbacks and the conversion of the
non.interest bearing government notes
into gold interest bearing securities.
Should the president send this, such a

Senator 9. K. Davis, chairman of the

Us good results are concerned; that au-

claimed for it, and that, i'll short, it is a
delusion and Il snare. "Still,' he said,
"if the insurgents are wiling to accept
it, there remains nothing for this coun-

concerning the insurgents only, and it
they want autonomy there is nothing
to do but lot them have it,
What congress will do this winter Oh
the Cuban question, Mr.. Davis does not
know, nor does he feel safe at this time
in venturing a guess.

BISMARCK, Dec. 2.-Blackhawk and
Defender, the Indians implicated in the
Spicer murder, are free men, having
been discharged from custody by Judge
Winchester during the morning.
Major Cramsie, Indian agent at Stand

of the two men, their discharge having
been delayed until his arrival. They
were taken to Mandan by him, and
will be taken to Standing Rock reser-

ity of their being lynched after they
reach Mandan without desperate

attempted at this time.
