ACADEMY OF MUSIC.-A sensa tional
melodrama-decidcd sensational, though
rot too exaggerated-was witnessed by
very large audience. considering the tenn
perature, last evening at the Academy Of
Music. The audience was more numerous
In the upper gallery, while Sec ond honorS
fell to the dress circle, as might be ex-
pected from the nature of the presentation.
The applause throughout was so extremely
enthusiastic that the work of the actors
was considerably delayed. Whatever mer-
it's 1.-The Indian" may or may not poss. IS
cut very little figure with the audience on
the occasion of its first production here. 1t
was evidently pleasing and more than salts
factory, and when that can he said of
play its success is assured. The character
of the hero was cared for by Mr.. A. S.
I1ipman who established himself firmly in
the affections OF Washington theatergoers
work with the Columbia Stock Company.
AS Rex Sterling, lieutenant of the 7th
Cavalry. U. s. A., and as Red Feather.
chief Of the Ogalallas, he filled a dual ca
pacity artistically and credtably, and ex-
ecuted several marvelously speedy changes
of costume. Frank Sheridan, as Allan
Leecn proved himself very accomplished
villain, and was constantly Kissed by the
gallery. The female parts were locked after
by Maud Dudley and Olive Berkeley, both
of whom were winsome and sweet the
former as Rex Stering's sister and the lat
ter as the sweetheart of Capt. Dudley, u.
S. A. There is no need of dwelling at any
length on the plot. Inc author, throughout
four acts, seems to have been bent on I'M
pressing the audience with the fact that
the red man is noble indeed; that he is a
much-abused, long suffering, but withal an
accomplished. gentleman-a hero in every
sense of the word. Rex Sterling. the adopt
ed son of General Sterling Is full blooded
Indian, who was found when an infant on
a battlefield, and the main idea of the play
seems to be to keep from Rex the informa-
ton that he Is an Indian. The play abounds
with startling situations and climaxes. and
ends rather abruptly. It catches the crowd,
however. and deserves large audiences dur
ing the remainder of the week Others in
the cast, all of whom did good work, are
H. P. Keen, Francis Byrne, Thomas Mac
Larney, H. E. Messimer. George Clark
Robert Carlin. M. E. Howard and Earnest
Haliock. Incidental to the performance a
German comedy specially was presented by.

GERMANY's NEW MINISTER TALKS.
Dr. Won HeIIeben Looks For No Cons
pllcations on Account of Hayti.

DR.. Won HelIeben Looks For No Cons
pIications ON Account of Hayti.
Washington, Dec. 1.-Dr. Won Holeben.
the new German ambassador was seen at
the German embassy to-day and for the
first time since his arrival consented to-
speak concerning some of the questions of
mutual interest between the United states
and Germany.
As to the Haytian controversy DR.. Won
Holleben said: II have received no Off
cial instructions from my government on
the subject, yet, speaking unofficially, the
case has assumed In the press far greater
proportions than it deserves. 1t is simply
a question of collecting an indemnity for
an offense against a German citizen re-
siding In Haytl. Beyond this ALI is con-
lecture and there is no basis of fact what
soever for the reports as to what might
eventually occur. The demand is similar,
l am told, to many in which the United
States demanded indemnity from South
American republics AS this right of de-
manding and enforcing the payment OF am
indemnity is universally recognized, do
not doubt the case Will be settled In the
usual way between the immediate parties
in interest-Germany and Hayu. But i'm
any event, the case Is of too little Import
ance to attract serious consideration, and
1t is needless to conjecture on future prob
abilities or possibilities
The ambassador was asked as to the
tariff, but he did not care to discuss THAI
matter. On the general feeling in Ger
many he said: There Is, am glad td
say, the most kindly sentiment through-
out Germany toward the American peo-
pie and their government.
When DR.. Won Hollenben was asked az
TO the meaning of Germany's steps toward
increasing her navy, he smilingly replied:
Germany is a peaceful nation and am
glad to say that, like President Mckinley.
the Emperor Of Germany is one of the
most pacific rulers In the world Natur-
ally Germany wants an adequate navy,
just as the United States desires a strong
naval force, not as a means of aggression.
but to maintain her interests the world
over. A navy is one of the surest means
Of securing peace, as ii commands respect
and a recognition of just rights. More-
over, German colonial interests are be-
coming very great in Australia, South Ar
rica and elsewhere, and the German citi-
zenship abroad Is spreading to the utmost
limits, even in China and Eastern Asia.

munities. 1t Is but natural, therefore.

To-day, as commander in chief" of

to Secretary Bliss in which he asserts
that there is no desire on the part of him
self or his men to act in defiance of Jaw
or the principles of justice, but "by the
memory of George Washington, SIR" he
adds, I'VE have the right of free born
American citizens to expect consideration
from you and all other servants of the
people"
The boomer calls upon the Secretary of
the Interior to state the grounds upon
which he forbids the would-be prospec-
tors from operating in the Wichita noun
tain county under the act OF congress APP
proved May 10, 1872.
He adds: 1--WE are in earnest. sir: and

MINISTER DARLAN RESIGNS.
Defeat of His Motion the Cause For
His Action.

Paris, Dec. Lowing to the defeat in
the Senate yesterday, when by a vote of
1SS to 113, the motion of NJ. Darlan, the
minister of justice, to shelve the discus
sion of the removal of a magistrate, which
had been denounced as illegal, was re-
jected, M. Darlan requested Premier Me-
line to inform President Faure that he had
rendered his resignation.
NJ. Darlan, the retiring minister
of justice, was one of the most pro-
nounced supporters of the maintenance
of the Senate when the existence of that
house was threatened during the parIia-
mentary crisis of last year. 1t was note
worthy that his downfall was caused bv
an adverse vote of senators. NJ. Darlan
in spite of the request of his colleagues,
persisted in resigning the portfolio of JUS
tice, and the president has accepted his
resignation. NJ. Meline, the premier, will
take the portfolio of minister of justice ad
interim.

Washington Dec. 1.-The exact nature
OF Germanys demand on Hayti became
known to-day. The details came by steam~
from Port au Prince, which arrived az
New York yesterday, and show the de-
mands to be as follows: First. an indem-
nifty of 10000 American dollars for Emla
Leuders; second. the promise that Mr-
Lenders may return to Hayti and there
sojourn without danger of any kind; third.
a letter to my government In which you
will express apology for the proceedings
toward the German government in the
whole transaction; fourth that the pres-
ident OF Hayu shall graciously receivs
the German charge daffaires at Port au
Prince"
II was also announced that II indemnity
was not given, a warship would be sent
or diplomatic relations be broken.
Without answering the demands in de-
tail Hayd asked If Germany, by presents
ing this demand, intended to close the ne-
gotiations in the Lueders case and also
on what ground an apology was asked.
The money demand was regarded by
Haytl as far less important than the other
three, which were considered as affecting
Hayti's honor. The demand that the pres
ident receive Count Schwerin graciously
was looked upon as involving a deep hu-
initiation. as 1t was this official who had
gone Before the president and rudely SUBJ
mittod his demands. 1t was this fourth
demand which led Hayti to prepare foR
one eVentuality.
Since the foregoing correspondence
closed it has become apparent, according
to cable dispatches from Berlin. that the
suggestion as TO the sending of warships
has been modified and that there is no
present purpose to send them.

AUSTRIA,S NEW MINISTRY.
Its Chance of Retaining Power Look
ed Upon as Slim.

Vienna, Dec. 1.-The prospects for
the new ministry are ominous.
The assignments of portfolios has
been received on all sides with frigid
reserve, and although the dismissal of
Count Badeni has allayed the spirit of re-
bellion in Vienna and the German towns,
anarchy has broken out in the Slav and
Czechish towns and provinces.
1t looks as though Baron Gautsch would
have as great difficulties to face in the de-
mands of the Czechs and socialists as
Count Badeni had. Seeing the success
that mob influence has had in Vienna in
bringing about the downfall of Count Ba-
deni, the Czechs are trying by the same in
huence to bring pressure to bear upon the
new cabinet.
The parliamentary situation is unchang-
ed and hopeless. Baron Gautsch has con
ferred with leaders of the majority and
the leaders of the minority, but so far both
parties appear irreconcilable.
