Hefinany's Ultim ,tum to the Hay than Cow
cfnment-Must Make the Redress De-
mhnded In Behaif OF Herr Lurders, In.
ciuding Indemnity aud Apology German
CRUISERS at p P-,t-au-Prince to Enforce
Compliance.
PORT-AU-PRINcE, Dec. THE tror.
ble between Germany and lIayti. as a
result OF the arrest and Imprisonment
Of Herr Lueders, reached crisis
yesterday. Two German cruisers
entsred this port during the morn
ing and an ultimalum from the
German government was delivered
to the Haytian government giving the
latter eight hours in which to grant
the demands of Germany for an in
dcmnity TO Herr Lueders. The MEM
beers OF the diplomatic corps here be-
lieye the government of the republic
has decided to accept the conditions of
Germany.
Ia anticipation OF trouble the cili-
4eas u German nationality sought ref
uge, .ss4tssaday, on board two steamers
which were ut this port, and the
French steamer Vile de Marseille has
been requisitioned by the French min
lister in order to serve as place OF ref
uge for French citizens.
The Vile de Marseille has arrived
from Porto Rico.
The population Of this place is in q
state of great excitement, but the Hay.
tian government has strong forces o.
troops at it, disposal, and is resolved
to maintain order.
Baron Won Bulow, the German min
lster for foreign affairs, said, referring
TO lIayti:
I'VE are not satisfied with the mer,
release of Herr Lueders, and have de
manded satisfaction and compensation
for his illegal incarceration, whicl
was contrary TO llaytian and interna
tional law. We hope the governmcn
of llayti will accept our Legitimate
and moderate demands, as, in addition
to the justice Of our claim, we hav,
the viii and the power to enforce it.
IIayti VIII Yield To Superior Force.
PORr-AU-PRlNCE, Dec. 6, p. M
The population late this afternoon
when this cablegram is sent, appear
calm, and the present indication
seem to confirm the supposition cable'
earlier to-day, that the governmen
will accept the conditions imposed b.
Germany, SO far as money indemnit,
is concerned, and it is also probabl
that, yielding to superior force, and il
order to avoid internal troubles, tn,
government will accept tn. other con
ditions.
The exact nature of Germany's dc
mands on llayti is as yet somewhat il
doubt, but it is understood that th
German government asks:
First--An indemnify Of S2O, 900 (Amer

 EARTHQUAKE NEAR TRIESTE.

Many Houses in the Town of Laibach
 Reduced to Ruins-Great Damage. Vienna, July 15.--A violent shock of
 earthquake visited the town of Lai- bach, thirty-fve miles northeast of
 Trieste, at ! o'clock this morning. Many houses were reduced to ruins,
 and the inhabitants of the town were thrown into panic.
 The damage Is widespread and pecu-
 niarily very heavy. The shock lasted six seconds.
 The town of Laibach, which takes it's
 name from the River Laibach, is the
 most important city of the royal prov
 ince Krain, and has 35OO0 inhabitants, including the military garrison The streets are mostly narrow, with closely
 adjoining houses, and there are five stone bridges over the river, besides long railroad dam for the tracks of four lines of railway. The town, which contains four churches, handsome town hall an old government seat, mu- scum, library and Episcopal see, with many factory and school buildings, IS surmounted by a medieval citadel, which was partly ruined by the French | in 1873 and now serves for prison. | The town was founded in old Roman times when it bore the name of Aimo- | ma and was made a free city In l4l6
 Here was held the congress of Laibach,
 in 1921, when the emperors of Austria
 and Russia, after conference with the
 king of Naples and Sicily and the duke of Modena. determined the overthrow of the liberal constitution in Naples by
 Austrian arms. Two years ago, on
 April II, the town suffered severely

The lottery laws in the United
States have been construed so strict
~ and the Postal Department has
waged such vigorous war against
lottery concerns, that their disband-
ment and abadonment has followed.
But it is hard to kill the gambling n.y.
dra. According to. a recent report from
the Department, though the lottery
schemers have been pretty well clean
ed out, they have been succeeded by n
crop of other nefarious schemes styl-
ed bondinvestment, mutual-invest-
ment, guarantee-stock investment and
other business-like titles that conceal
the elements of chance and lot which
is their pivot point. Against these the
Department finds it hard to fight and
laws in this direction may be asked
for. The love of gambling is, innate
in man, and is hard to combat. 1t is
quite a question whether some of the
new forms are not really worse than
what has been eradicated. since they
come before the unwary in such spe-
cious guise.

PITY THE SORROWS.

The question of impecunious royal
ty is troubling. the British monarchy
at the present moment. 1t is the sad
case. of the Duke of Teck. He was
married to Princess Mary of Cam.
bridge, who has recently died. She
had "A regular allowance from parlia.
ment as a full tledged royal princess
of a reigning house and the use of
White Lodge at Richmond, which is
crown property and one of the royal
palaces. Now the difficulty lies here.
The Duke was the son of a morganatic
marriage. He did not therefore inher-
it from his fathers estate. His moth
er's property came to him, but he
squandered that before he married
the Princess. AS the rules of such
things go, he is not royal, nor an Eng
lish prince of the blood, nor are his
sons, and there can be no excuse for
asking parliament for a grant for him,
the allowance to his wife and the use
of the palace being lost by her death.
This is really a case of pity the sor-
rows of poor old Duke. That hospi-
tai for impecunious royalty which The
Star proposed the other day, would
come in very handy for case like
this. But the case shows the evils of
monarchy. BY hook or by crook the
Duke will be provided for by fitting
him into some sinicure. though re-
forming parliaments have swept most
of them away. But what has the man
done that anything should be provid-
ed for him out of the public funds
1t is the bane of royalty that its cous-
ms, its aunts, and its relatives to
many generations, have to be provided
for at public expense. 1t may be said
that Presidents sometimes provide for
their friends and relatives. But their
number is small, if it ever does occur
and the length of time that they nib
BILE at the public crib is limited. But
princes and princesses get in their
claws for life, and transmit their
rights" to others after them.
Meanwhile it will be rather amusing
to see what really will be done for

it is not the honesty of the local re-

there should be some one whose duty
it is to examine samples of the food

PURE FOOD.

Pure food is one of the necessities of
life. In the savage and semi-savage
state of existence mankind had al
ways pure food. The trouble under
such stages of existence was
that there was not always
enough of it. It remained for
the higher civilization to muddy the
source of supply to the vital energies,
and give man impure food, as it has
also given him impure air. The more
civilized man becomes, the more he de-
velops the powers of rascality. \
sweeping charge is made by DIR. Has,

terations." He says; IN nearly al
articles, whether of food, drink OF

prevails. And many of the substan-

but are even poisonous"
