to make concessions so as to effect a con-

in which they must comply. The South
ern came to time The Baltimore and

Chicago, Dec 27.--Controller of the Cur
rency Charles G. Dawes said to-day:
1.-THE general financial condition of the
country, so far as it can be judged from
the banking situation, is sound and sta
BILE The recent furry in the speculative
centers of the East was natural sequence
of the condition of last summer, when the
West did not need it's capital and deposit
cd it in banks of the East in order 10 pro-
cure interest on its credit balances. The
immense accumulation there stimulated
legitimate speculation on stock exchanges
and bubbles of credit were blown, which
could not but burst at the first disturbance
in an abnormaly cheap money market.
This disturbance commenced when in
order to move its crops and to furnish le-
gtisnate trade with proper funds, the West
commenced TO call for its own and to
withdraw currency from the East.
THE situation was also aggravated by
the London money market and the pros
pect of gold shipments.
THE wheels of legitimate business are
moving and the recent stock panic simply
releases the more capital to aid their mo-
ton.

which might cause a recurrence of the
furry of two weeks ago and anticipate

GERMAN WARSHIPS AT HAYTI.

Washington, Dec. H.-The German war
ships Nike and Won Moltke, used as train
ing ships for naval cadets, have arrived at
Havana, after a cruise through West In
dian waters.
1t was the arrival of these ships in
Haytien waters about ten days ago that
caused CONSERVATION among the officials
and people there, as il was feared there
would be a repetition of the Leders Incl
dent and another demand on Hayti. back
ed up by German naval guns.
1t appears, however, that the cruise of
the Nike and Won Moltke was arranged
a year ago, and the cali at Haytien ports
was entirely devoid of significance, as
the commanders of the ships have no in

the regular cruise.
