Fourth-Ihat the president of Hayti
shall graciously receive the German
charge d 'affaires at Port au Prince.
The money demand was regarded by
Hay ii as tar less important than the
other three. which were considered az
affecting Hayti's honor. The demand
that the president receive Count
Schwerin graciously was looked upon
as involving deep humiliation as it
was this official who had gone before
the president and rudely submitted his
demands. 1t was this fourth demand
which led Hayti to prepare for an
