The message was listened to with great
earnestness, especially the portions deal

toward Cuba. The Presidents utterances

Port au Prince, Hayti, December o.
The trouble between Germany and Hayti
as a result Of the arrest and imprisonment
of Herr Lueders, an alleged German sub
ject, reached crisis today. Two German
cruisers entered this port this morning
and an ulbimatum from the German
government was delivered to the Haytien
government, giving the latter eight hours
in which to grant the demands of Ger
many for an indemnity to Herr Lueders.
The members of the diplomatic corps
here believe the government of the repub-
lie has decided to accept the conditions
of Germany.
In anticipation OF trouble, the citizens
of German nationality sought refuge yes
terday on board two steamers who were
at this port and the French steamer
Vile de Marseille has been requested by
the French minister to serve as a place
of refuge for French citizens. The Vile
Gle Marseille has arrived from Porto Rico.
The population is in q state OF great
excitement; but, the Haytien government
has strong forces of troops at its disposal
and is resolved to maintain order.

LOvERING,s REpBTMAND.

washington, December 6.-Secretary Al
ger today made public the reprimand ad-
N IN nilnlstered to Capt. Lowering by sentence
VI court martial, as follows:
by order of the President, the proceed
ingsr nndings and sentence in the case of
capt. Lowering are approved. 1t is, how
ever, disappointing that an offence SO
grave, and an example, SO far breach
ing as this, should have been visited
with SO light penalty. There is no
question but that Private Hammond de-
served punishment, but he should have
received it in a lawful way. The military
laws governing the state are explicit.
When, therefore, an officer with the conf
dence and experience with which Capt.
Lowering is credited, not only violates
these laws, but exhibits lack OF hu-
man1ty he should receive a more severe
sentence than mere reprimand. Com
m1tting such acts degrades the officer
more than the soldier he Furnishes and
SHOWS un1itness for the care and COM
mand of men. Under excitement men
frequently do things which in cooler
moments they recall with sorrow, and
regret, but this case is aggravated by
the fact that after weeks OF deliberation
1nls officer evinces no regret for his
wrongful acts,

Latter Found Dead in 0uimby's House
and Others Died Soon After.
dents of this town died today as the re-
suit of drinking poisonous liquid believed
to be wood alcohol. The names of the
victims are, Horace Quimby, Mrs
Ouimby and Mrs. Annie Fitzsimmons
While it ls known that all three drank
wood alcohol last night, it is possible thai
another poison was mixed with the
spirits, as bottle of oil of cedar and at
ointment containing carbolio acid were
found in the house where the three lived.
The police are of the opinion that all met
their death by accident. Early this fore.
noon neighbor called at Horace Quinn
by's house on High street, and finding nc
one moving inside, a search of the place
was began. Mrs. Annie Fitzsimmons, a
former Dover woman, who boarded at the
house, was found dead on a mattress
which had been spread on the floor in a
bedroom. In the same room lying on a
bed were Quimby and his wife uncon
scious. 1t was at first thought that all
were sleeping off debauch, but closer
examination of the Fitzsimmons woman
revealed the fact that she was dead. She
had frequently complained of being i'll,
and it was supposed she died from natural
causes. About noon the police, who had
been notified of the condition of affairs at
the house, found that Quimby and his
wife were seriously i'll. A bottle of wood
alcohol labelled Columbia SPIRITS" al
most empty, was found in the house. The
pair were removed to the cottage hospital
but efforts to revive them were fruitless.
Mrs. Quimby died in the afternoon, a,
and her husband braathed his last early
this evening.
Another examination was made of the
house. This time bottle containing oil
Of cedar and almost full, was picked up,
and near 1t WAS box of carbolic acid
ointment.
Myron Quimby of Epping, a brother OF
afternoon, was taken into custody by the
police and will be held as witness.
The Quimbys and Fitzsinlmons were
heavy drinkers, and last night the latter
purchased a bottle of liquor, which was
undoub btedly wood alcohol an extremely
poisonous liquid. 1t is probable that all
three partook literally of the alcohol 1t
is possible that during the nights

the alcohol, but this is hardly likely

MRS. M,KINLEY STILL LIVING.

Canton, Ohio, Decem Der 6.-There was
an agreeable surprise to the children and
friends gathered about the bedside of Mrs.
Nancy Allison Mckinley this afternoon
She regained consciousness sufficiently
to recognize and extend greeting to her
children, her aged sister, Mrs. Osborne,
Charles Miller and others who were near.
Nourishment was given her about
noon. 1t was soon after this that she
manifested signs of returning conscious
ness. There is again stronger hope that
she may survive until the President
reaches her bedside tomorrow morning
and that perhaps she may recognize him.
1t is not thought, however, that she
will ever regain complete consciouness.
Canton, December 6.-At II. 30 tonight
Mrs. McKinley's condition had not
changed since the previous report.
Canton, December 6-At 1890 Mrs.
Mckinley is exceedingly low. She has
just experienced q sinking spell, during
which life seemed to be almost extinct.
There are moments when she does not
seem to breathe If she rallies from this
SPELL she will probably survive the night,
but just now it seems doubtful that she
will rally. Her pulse is weak and uncer-
tain, more so than at any other time and
her breathing is difficult, The physician
wnen he last called reported that she had
weakened perceptibly. lie has not de-
SPARED that she will survive the night,
but he cannot feel confident of it. The
latest adyices received from the President
is that he win reach here at 1890 q. m
A special may possibly be run from Pitts
burg.
