WERE TRAINING SHIPS.
The German Vessels Which Caused
CONSERVATION at Haytien.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2,.-The German
warships Nike and Won Moltke, used as
training ships for naval cadets, have ar
rived at Hayu after a cruise through
West Indian waters. II was the arrival
of these ships ia Haytion waters about
ten days ago that caused CONSERVATION
among the officials and people there. as it
was feared there would be repetition
o. the Lcder's incident and another de-
maud on Hayti. backed up by German
naval guns.
ID appears. however. that the cruise OF
the Nike ard Won Mol,ke was arranged a
year ago and DE call az Haytien ports
was entirely devoid OF significance as the
commanders Of the ships have no instruc-
tlons outside of those pertaining TO the
regular cruise.
