HISTORY OF THE AFFAIR
CONDUCT oF THE GERMAN IN
CITED INDIGNATION.
Interview With the Diplomatic
Corps-Position of the American
Representative During the Crisis
Affairs in Eayti Under Martial
Law.


New York, Dec. 1.-THE correspond
ent Of the Herald in Port au Prince,
Hayti, says that further trouble is
brewing; that the cities are under mar
tial law, and that the ministry is afraid
to hold public audiences.
On referring the Lueders question to
Berlin. the. Hayden government had
strong hopes that the matter would
be automatically settled through their
charge d'affaires. They offered to sub
nit the whole matter to arbitration,
proposing England, France, the United
States, the Eaytien republic and Swe-
den. AS this was refused, another pro-
position was made allowing Germany
to select the countries. The German
foreign minister replied his government
did not intend to allow foreign nations
to interfere in the matter, and they
would punish the blacks.
Although rumors of warships seen
steaming in thi sdirection reached Hay
ii, no intimation came of Germany S
intention until Monday at 6 o'clock,
when the Charlotte and Stein steamed
into this harbor. taking anchorage at
o'clock.
It has transDired that the German
minister ie1L on the 2Jtn ulI., anu me-
the warships at Puerto Plata.
THE ULTIMATUM.
Returning on board the Charlotte
the German consul gave notice on Sun
day last that German subjects only
could go aboard the two German mer-
chant vessels lying in the harbor, and
on Monda.Y at o'clock the German
commander sent an ultimatum to the
government that the city would be
bombarded unless within four hours
they paid 100000 instead of the $4,000
they previously demanded, and made
themselves responsible for Lueders' flu
ture safety allowing him to return
whenever he choose, apologized to the
emperor and received the German
charge d'affaires again.
The commander also sent a communi-
cation to the diplomatic corps that he
intended to lombard the city at II
o'clock, and advised it's members to
get their subjects to a place of safety

CASH FROM INTERIOR.

The banks have been gaining cash
from the interior for a number of weeks
past, but the effect, for the reasons just
set forth, has been greatly minimized
The rapid expansion in deposits re-
quires each week heavier reserve
and the operations of the past six
days have resulted in a decrease in
the surplus cash in banks of s., 235, SIS,
bringing the excess reserve to SIS, SS7, 425,
the lowest since Oct. Is last.
That the changes noted are of a spe-
cial character is also shown in the item
of cash, the loss for the week having
been $1,O21, 200. This shrinkage can be
traced to several large institutions, one
of which has probably decreased it's
cash through the payment of the sugar

to put their respective subjects on.
AMERICAN MINISTER.
Minister Powell said he would not
allow American subjects to go aboard
any vessel. but that he would take
them to the American legation and
there defend them against all odds
The diplomatic corps then returned
again to the palace, and the president
requested adyices as to what he should
do He asked the American minister if
he could expect any encouragement
from the United States. Minister Pow

LOANS INCREASE.

The Financier says: The Union Pa
cific reorganization committee last week
made an additional payment of $780,
900 on account, and this sum, passing
into depository banks, has increased
the averages of the clearing house in
stitutions no less than 100000 in de-
posits The increase in loans is con-
nected with the same transaction, but
it has swelled the total loan item to
$607 725, 900, which is by far the largest
ever carried by the New York banks.
The effect of the transfer of the Union
Pacific to the new purchasers may be
traced in the expansion of the loan
item of the banks during the past five
weeks.
On Nov Is last loans stood at $685.
800, 900, as compared with $607, 725 900
Dec II. The loan increase, therefore,
has been over $50, 900, 900. In the same
time deposits have increased 10000 600,
and cash reserves SIS, 900, 900. Admitting
that the regular mercantile demand for
accommodation has had some place in
this change, the main cause contribut-
ing to the normous increase has been
in the operation in connection with the
Union Pacific syndicate. The deposits
of the bank most prominent in the
financing of this deal have grown
nearly $22, 900. 900 in four weeks, and its
loans $12, 600, 600.

Fighting for His Country.
The Old Veteran was telling to an inter-
ested lot of listeners some of his hair
breadth escapes, midst flood and field. He
had been blown up in the crater before
Petersburg. had been wounded three or
four times in different engagements, and
had lost an arm at Cold Harbor He had
lain a day and night on the battlefield
with a bullet through his lung. suffering
the terrible agony OF thirst before he was
rescued, which only Il wounded soldier can
feel No one was better able to tell of the
hardships of the soldiers life than he was.
Now that the cookies of his heart had been
warmed up, he was mos. interesting, in
deed.
In one engagement he had had a hand-to-
hand conflict with one of the enemy, which
had been ended by his plunging his bayonet
through the breast of his opponent The
life-blood had spurted out of the victims
mouth into the very face of the victor, and
the terrible coughing sob which had ended
the life was described in such a way as to
chill the hearers.
At another time the veteran said, becom-
ing separated in some way from Eis COM
mand, he had been charged by one of the
enemy or a coal-black steed. The rider

1t was further declared that the enact

to the Traveller for that which it takes
away"

is provided against the railroad official for
