Demand Made on Liberia for Injuries
to German.
NEW YORK, March 31.-Joseph
HertzeH, an American Methodist Bish-
op in Africa, whence he has just re-
turned, brings the news that during
his stay in Liberia, a German gunboat
appeared at the place and demanded
$11 800 indemnity for injuries to Ger
man subject viz, SO, 500 for damages to
his property, So 800 for threatening him
with murder and $4,000 for costs of
collection by means of a gunboat.
President Coleman refused to pay,
whereupon the commonder of the gun
boat declared himself willing to relin-
uuish the claim if Liberia would place
herself under Germany's protectorate.
This was also refused and the Presi-
dent requested Bishop Hertzell to per-
suade England and the United States to
protect Liberia from the intervention
of Germany and France. The bishop
has laid the matter before the British
Government and will now also en-
deavor to arouse the interest of the
American Government.
