xI1yti ana Germany. TAs German minister
/ ~ this republic. Count schwerin. has

suszent report. three German warshipa arc
sxpsctsd here today to enforce the ulti-
xktum 81 tho minister to Hayti. demand
nc Indemnity for tho alleged illegal arrest
q : German citizen. The affair has caused
oonsidsrable excitement among the native
population, and some Of the people have
threatened to kill the German minister and
an ire Germans In this place and vicln-
III.
The affair grew out Of the arrest here a
fsw weeks ago Of young German named
llndner. Tho Germans say dozen police
msn entered Lindner's house and arrested
one Of his servants. Mr.. Lindner went to
central police headquarters to complain
against the action Of the police,
and was arrested himself. charged with
assaulting and attempting to murder po-
lice officers in the execution OF their du-
ties. Lindner was Immediately condemned
to pay fine Of $is and to undergo one
months Imprisonment. Claiming he was
innocent Lindner demanded and obtained
second trial. Witnesses testified that
they had not seen Lindncr strike any of
the policemen. and that even II he had
done no under the circumstances he would
not have broken the laws OF Hayti. In
spite OF this, Iindner was condemned to
pay fine OF $500 and sentenced to one
years imprisonment.
While the affair was purely In the hands
Of the courts the German minister could
not interfere in diplomatic way. When
tho second sentence was pronounced the
nhnister asked Berlin for instructions. On
October 10 the German minister won't TO

the name OF the German emperor that Mr..
Lindner be sci at liberty and also demand

In gold, adding that fos every day Lind
ner was kept prisoner after the notif-
cation he tthe German minister) would de-
mand an indemnity OF $4,000 in gold.
AT first the president refused TO
grant the German minister's demand. and
Mr.. Llndner remained six dayn longer IN
prison.
This caused the German minister to
notify the Haytian government that as
Mr.. Lindner had not been freed he had
hauled down his flag and had sent the ar
chives OF the government legation TO the
legation Of the United States, thus break
Ing of all relations with tho Haytian gov
erument. This caused great excitement
here, and disturbances would have resulted
had they not been averted by sending Mr..
Lindner. who was threatened with lynch

York. from which port no was to leave for
Germany. 1t is said tho German minister,
on arrival Of the warships. will insist upon
tho payment OF the indemnity.

1t Is now many centuries since. ac-
cording to Ovid, the young man Narcis
sus was changed into a daffodil because
of his pining away from seeing his love-
ly shadow in the water. But it can
hardly be from sympathy with the IN
fortunate yonth that the flower has con
tinued to be S o popular during all these
long ages. Certain it is that it has as
high a value today in the gardens of
persons of taste as in the flower plot of
the hUmblest cottager. No garden is
considered to be quite complete without
its little patch Of daffodils.
OF late years florists have given at
tention to raising varieties from them,
and the record CT their many forms is a
feature Of the catalogue of all seedsmen.
Double mes formerly carried off the
palm for popularity, but in recent times
the single variety is regarded as quite
as desirable. -Meehan's Monthly.
