German War Vessels Going TO Daek
Up a Claim for Indemnity.

port au Prince. HaytI, October 2l.-
Serious trouble has arisen between Hay
IL and Germany, The German minister
to this Republic. Count Schwerin, has
hauled down his flag. and, according to
current reports. three German warshps
are expected here to back up the ultt-
matum Of that Minister to Hayti de-
mandinS an indemnity for the illegal
arrest and Imprisonment of a German
citizen. Tho affair has caused consid-
cradle excitement among the native pop
ulation and some of the people have
threatened to kill the German minister
and all the Germans in this place.
The affair grew out Of the arrest here
few weeks ago of a young German
named LindeEs. The Germans say that
dozen policemen entered Linders'
house and arrested one of his servants
Mr.. Linders went TO the central police
headquarters TO complain of this action
Of the police. but was himself arrested
charged with assaulting and atempt-
Ing to murder police officers In the dis
charge of their duty
After two trials Linders was fined
$500 and condemned to n years impris-
onment, though the Germans claim there
was no evidence against him. On Oc-
tober II the German minist er went TO
and demanded in the name of the Ger
man Emperor that Lindcrs be set at
libet'ty and also demanding for the
twenty-three days that he spent in
prison an indemnity of 81 900 in gold,
adding that for every day that Linders
was kept a prisoner after that notifica-
tion he thc German minister) would
demand an indemnity of $1,000 In gold
At first the Haytian President refused
to grant the German minister's demand.
and MIR. Lhders remained six days
longer in prison. The German minister
then notified the Haytian government
that he had b: oxen off all diplomatic re-
lations with the Haytlan government.
This caused great excitement here and
disturbances would have occurred had
they not been averted by sending Mr..
LinderS, who was threatened with
lynching. aboard a steamer bound for
New York. 1t is said that the German
minister, on the arrival Of the war
ships. will insist upon the payment
OF the indemnity.
