In the meantime the German feet in
Chinese waters has been reinforced
almost doubled in strength, in fact
and the chief command placed in the
hands of Prince Henry of Prussia, the
brother of the emperor. Germany has
for long time been anxious to secure
a foothold in China. 1t has seen Rus

China. 1t had to remain silent but

quests in Tonquin and Siam, and just
few weeks ago had to consent to the
extension of British influence in the
Hong-Kong district. Tariff wars in
Europe render it imperative that new
markets be opened to the rapidly de-
veloping industrial enterprises of the
German empire; and no territory in the
world offers a richer field in this direc-
tion than China, whose innumerable
millions Of people are just beginning
to appreciate the blessings of western
civilization and whose rich fuel and
mineral deposits are about to be de-
veloped by European enterprise and
capital. Moreover, the beginning of
the twentieth century will witness the
partition of the great Mongolian en-

thank his stars that he reigns in con-
tinent where the rights of the weak
ore protected by powerful friend who
has absolutely no ak to grind.
While the western hemisphere, thanks
to the Monroe doctrine, is safe from
land-grabbing expeditions, England,
France and Germany are constantly
quarreling over the division of Africa.
A famous European statesman has re-
Gently expressed himself to the effect
that the great European war. of which
we have heard so much, would begin
in Africa. The boundary troubles now
in process of adjustment between Great
Britain and France may yet lead to
open, hostiIities. England claims do
minion over the Niger country, vast
territory under control of the Royal
Niger company, a chartered concern
which controls the trade of the valley.
West Of the Niger, adjoining the ter
ritory claimed by the Niger company,
lies Dahomey, French possession, and
the French troops have of late made
many expeditions into territory claimed
by the British. In August French de-
tachment marched into the country of
Boussa, escorting q number of traders.
Still later the French occupied Nikki,
a point in the Lagos Hinterland, where,
according to late reports, a conflict took
place between the French invaders and
the soldiers of the Niger company. Dip
lomats are at present endeavoring to
arrive at a permanent boundary agree
ment; but as the French will not give
up what they hold by force of arms
and the English will not abandon claima
which have stood for 80 years, it Is
possible that the news of an engage.
ment in far-away Africa may set ali
Europe on fire any day.
Great Britain realizes the extreme
delicacy of the situation, but proposes
to be ready for any emergency. The
military forces of the Royal Niger com
pany have already been increased Il

Especial Correspondence

In the game of international politics
Emperor William is playing the lead
ing hand just now; but it will take
some time to determine whether, at the
end of the play, he will come out win
ner or loser. Some months ago the
Chinese inhabiting the Kiao-Chu bay
district murdered two German mis-
sionaries and destroyed some valuable
mission property. Instead of first lay
ing the matter before the Peking gov
ernment or presenting claim for in

montn's Imprisonment for an alleged
unprovoled assault upon cab driver.
Lueders who, before his arrest, had reg
istered his name at the German con-
sulate, appealed from the sentence Of
the lower court, with the result that
his punishment was increased TO one
years imprisonment and fiue of 500.
A second appeal was pending when
Count Schwerin, the German charge
d'affaires, demanded the prisoners re-
lease, the dismissal of the judges who
had sentenced him and an indemnity
of 81 600 for every day of imprisonment
up to that time, coupled with a threat
that if Lueders was not liberated with
in "a hours the demand for indemnity
would be increased to $4,000 a day.
President Tiresias Simon Sam refused
to accede to the demand, whereupon the
German diplomat, after having oommu-
nicated with his government, hauled
down his flag and announced that Ger
man war ships would enforce his terms.
At this juncture the United States min

liberate Lueders, guaranteeing that the
latter should sail for New York the
next day. Thereupon Lueders was re-
leased, and went to Germany, whereihe
laid his case before the foreign Office at
Berlin. Orders were at once issued to
the captain of the cruiser Gefion to pro-
ceed to Port au Prince and collect the
Il orlya1 |, Thn mi,
lister.
At this juncture Mr.. White, the Amer
lean ambassador at Berlin. acting on
suggestions received from Washington,
informed the German government, in
n friendly way, that the United States
could not countenance the enforcement
of Count Schwerin's arbitrary demands
upon the helpless little republic and
that "for the protection of American
interests" the cruiser Marblehead had
been dispatched to Hayti. The reply
of the German officials was very cour-
teous. They notified Mr.. White that in
view of Americas interest in the matter
the indemnity demand would be re-
duced to $4,000 and that the Gefion
would be sent to China instead of Port
au Prince. There the matter rests.
Eventually President Sam will be COM
PEELED to pay the 100000 paltry sum
in view of the fact that the incident has
proved willingness on the part of the
United States to extend the benefits of
the Monroe doctrine to the West Indian
islands as well as the South and Central
American mainland. The Washington
government can, of course, not inter-
fere with the collection of monetary
damages. No one but the most radical
lingo would ask that. But it has once
more made clear to the world that no
European power, no matter how large
or powerful, will be permitted to gain
/ foothold on American soil or to
the existence of any we'll
American government.

patriotism. In these days of rapid
transit the existence of such country
is an anomaly-an unnatural thing.
Emperor William knows this as well
as the czar and Lord Salisbury; and the
occupation of great port on the Chi
nese sea at the present time-provided
he is permitted to maintain it-means
that when the time for the division of
the spoils arrives Germany will be in o
position to demand share worth hav-
ing.
While Germany's relations to China
are of international interest, that coun-
try's little squabble with the negro re-
public of Hsyti is of particular i'm
portance to the United States. 1t seems
that one Emil Lueders, the son of a
German father and a Haytian mother,

chef town Of the recublic. to one

BILE possession of what is generally con-
sidered the finest harbor on the Chinese
coast, Soon after the powers had been
officially notified of the occupation of
the fort, the German minister at Pc
king. Baron Won Heyking, presented
formal bill of claims to the emperor of
China, which contained such onerous
and humlliating demands that its ac-
ceptance is out Of the question. 1t is
evident that Emperor William does not
want a peaceful settlement, although
he has in no official way announced his
ultimate intention. In his speech from
the throne, delivered at the recent
opening of the German parliament, he
abstained from taking the public In his
confidence. leaving the goyernmentfree

prestige. should the protests OF the
