derstood that the question of indemnity
demanded by Germany for the alleged
arrest and Imprisonment Of Herr Lued-
ers has been settled to the satisfaction
Of Germany and that all demands Of
that country have been agreed to by the
government of Hayti, in the face of tha
display of force made by Germany and
under the threat of bombardment Of
the defensive works of the port unless
these demands were agreed to within
the eight hours following the time the
German ultimatum was delivered yes
terday morning shortly after the arrival
at this port of the two German cruisers
sent to back up the demands Of the Ger
man minister here.
The first part of the settlement took
place at 6 o'clock last night when the
Haytian fleet formally saluted the Ger
man flag from the flagship of the fleet
of Hayti, the Crete-a-P Pierrot, a small
vessel, armed with q few guns of light
caliber
Admiral Kilick, the Haytian cons
mander, had charge of the formal salute
of the German flag. While the flag OF
the republic was being dipped on board
the Crete-a-Pierrot, the band of the
Haytian navy played the German ma
tional anthem, and the Haytian flagship
fired twenty-one guns, which were an
swered by the German flagship, the
Charlotte, which is used as school ship.
The second part of the settlement will
take place this morning, when Count
Schwerin, the German Minister to
Hayti, will be formally and solemnly re-
ceived by the Haytian President. The
latter, 1t is understood. has assured the
German authorities that summary JUS
tice will be promptly meted out to those
officials of Hayti who caused the es-
arrangement between the Republic OF
Hayti and Germany.
All citizens Of German nationality who
had sought refuge on board the steam
ers at this port, have returned to their
residences, no further trouble being ap-
pretended.
The few French citizens who sought
refuge on board the French steamer
which was requisitioned for that pur-
pose from Porto Rico, have also gone
back to their homes and business.
Naturally there is a strong feeling Of
IcSclIIIlcuI dSuiubt tuc government O14
account of the humiliation inflicted upon
the country by Germany, but it is not
thought anything more serious than q
ministerial crisis will result.
THE KAISER COMMENTS
BERLIN, Dec. 7.-Emperor Williams
talking over the trouble between Ger
many and Hayti over the Lueder Incl
dent and referring to the Haytians, IL
quoted as saying:
'They are contemplate crowd Of ne
groes, slightly inoculated with French
civilization. My school ships, even
though only manned by boys, will teach
them manners"
| Port au Prince-Comte Schwerin, tho
German charge d'affaires, and the COM
tesse, debarked today escorted by the
officers of the Charlotte. Had the ulti-
matum not been complied with the
bombardment would have commenced at
1 o'clock in the afternoon.
Since yesterday there have been in
the roadstead two German steamers, q
French steamer, the German frigates
Charlotte and Stein and the French
cruiser Admiral Rigault de Georilly.
Although there has been no fresh dis
turbances in the city, all precautions
have been taken to guarantee order. But
the government is dumb.
