A Ten-year-old's War Poetry.

(By Clifford Alexander Dunning of No.
IL st. James place, Brooklyn a young
patriot 10 years old)
One night in Havana harbor.
When the winds were piercing chill.
And the Maine was at her buoy.
And everything was still.
Suddenly crash was heard
On board the battleship Maine.
And everything went to pieces;
There were cries for help and of pain.
MANY a brave sailor
Perished that sad. sad night
And we know the Spaniards did it.
And think we ought to eight.

GERMANY AND HAYTl.
The Kaiser Has His Eye on that Island. In
Case OF General Trouble.

Port-au-Prince May Sherman war
ships some time ago made soundings in
the principal ports of Hayti, Part-au-
! Prince, the Mole St Nicholas. Cane
| Hayti, St Mare, Jeremie and Jacmel.
| What Germany might undertake to do in
| this part Of the world, in the event Of a
! general conflict, dread of which Lord
| Salisbury is said to have expressed in a
recent speech, is a question that is occu-
/ plying the attention of the public men Of
Hayti.
Well-informed foreigners residing here
do not doubt that If America were in

L fleet to seize the island. Local German
traders fervently cherish this hope Their
feeling against the Haytiens since the
Leuders incident has been intense and
50 far as a volatile people is capable of
cherishng old scores the luminosity is
reciprocated
OF all the masters of vessels coming to
Haytan ports, the Germans treat the
native port officers and steve1ores with
the least consideration, often with uncon-
cealed contempt. The wonder is that
their attitude does not oftener provoke
conflicts. II you walk the streets here

certain epithet. you may be sure it is
because Of the i'll will toward the Ger
mans and not on general principles.
Yet the Germans are by far the most
numerous class of traders here. 1t may
be that this has had not a little TO do
with the action Of the government in con-
sidering the fulillment Of article of
the treaty with the United States grant
ing to Americans the same commercial
rights as those enjoyed by the Haytians.
However this may be, it is certain that
the concession will involve the Haytian
government in vexatious difficulties with
ohter nations unless it does the same by
shem. Whether NJ Brutus St. Victor,
the able minister of foreign affairs. has
looked so far ahead as this l cannot say,
though it is only reasonable to assume
that he has.
BY the concession to the Americans
Hayti will lose about SO. 600 in gold year
in revenue In order to afford to treat
other foreigners with like liberality. she
must devise new taxation. 1t looks very
much as if, counting upon the protection
Of the United States in case of need, the
foreign minister expected to refuse an
equal concession 10 other nations on the
ground that the treaty of 1864 is purely
reciprocal each party making to the
other a specific return for special privi-
leges granted.
But such an excuse is likely to have
little force if the West India waters be-
come the principal naval battlefield in a
general war.
