Haiti Ready to Pay.

BERLIN, Dec. ga dispatch to the
Frankfort Zeitung, from Washington, to-
day, says the republic of Haiti is ready to
pay Germany the indemnity demanded for
the alleged Illegal arrest and Imprisonment
of Herr Emil Lueders, a German subject,
who was subsequently released and enabled
to return to this country by the interces-
sion of the United States minister at Port
au-Prince, William F. Powell, who secured
Luederss release from prison in order to
avoid trouble of a more serious nature,
which appeared to be brewing on account of
the alleged arbitrary behavior of the Ger
man minister to Haiti, Count Schwerin.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Mr. Leger, the
minister of Haiti to the United States, when
asked to-day concerning the Frankfort lei
lungs statement that Haiti had agreed to
pay, the indemnity asked in the case of
Lueders. said that he had received no adj
vices of any change in the position taken by
his government, namely, that it stood ready
to pay cheerfully any proper indemnity, pro-
vided 1T had the opportunity to demonstrate
whether this indemnity was properly collect
able. The minister said he has received no
adviceS from Haiti since last Friday, when
the reported approach of two German naval
cadet school ships caused rumOrS that they
were men-of-war coming to blockade the
island. 1t was predictco then by the minis
ter that great excitement would follow the
approach of the German vessels, but he has
no reason to fear that the stability of the
government is endangered.
Advices to the State Department indicate
that the situation in Port-au-Prince and
Haiti generally is one Of great commotion,
but no reference is made to any threats
against the government.

A DANGEROUS HITTER.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The battle between
Jimmy Barry, of Chicago, and Walter
Croot, Of Newcastle, England, for the BAN
tam weight championship of the world,
which was postponed from Nov. Is last,
owing to the sudden death of John Fleming,

Club was crowded. Barry scaled at 107
pounds and Croot at 1O4. the betting favor
ing the former. During the first ten rounds
Barry did most of the scoring in a thor
oughly scientific struggle. Then Croot
made determined stand and at the eight
zenith round had almost equalized matters.
When the nineteenth round opened Barry
Immediately forced the work at a great
pace and finished much stronger than his

not expected to prove fatal. He has been

THE AUSTRIAN CRISIS.
Three Language Territories Proposed
for acknowledgements Mt Prague.

Tor OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ~ sstS OSs
VIENNA, Dec. 6.-Tl3e Neue Freie Press
says the negotiations OF the Austrian pre-
mier, Baron Won Gautsch Won Franken-
thurn with the various parties, are pro-
crossing towards an arrangement of the
language question. The young Czechs, it APP
pears, are willing to agree to a division of
Bohemia into three language territories
Czech, German and mixed. The premier
made proposition on this basis to the Ger
man parties The greatest difficulty, it is
added, is found in the fact that the Czechs
insist that officials throughout Bohemia
must speak both languages. To this the
Germans are opposed.
1t is officially stated that since the begin
ming of the disorders at Prague there have
been six hundred arrests, three hundred
people have been injured by the swords Of
the police and troops and sixty policemen
and twenty soldiers injured by the stones of
the mob.
It is understood that the German leaders
in the ReichSrath will. unanimously reject
all proposals made by the government. This
was foreseen by Hungary, and therefore
Baron Banffy, the Hungarian premier, in
troduced to-day in the Hungarian Parlia-
ment the bill prolonging the AuSgleich for
a year. without reference TO any action on
the subject by Austria. Probably the Hun
garian independent party, led by herr
Francis Kossuth, will fercely obstruct the
bill, as it wishes to force a declaration of
independence.

to a guest, Emperor Francis Joseph said:
Your mayor is the guilty man. There has
been agitation. | know very well that the
Czech deputies have much to bear, but
what the mayor said cannot be tolerated"
