AN AMPLE APOLOGY
VIII Probably Close Recent Sensation
al Haytian Incident.

4 s#
Paris, June 25.-Following a council
of ministers it was officially announced
that the government intended to send
a warship to Hayti to demand redress
for the insult to M. Deprez, the French
minister, who was stoned by the pal
ace guards on Wednesday, This de-
cis.on followed Foreign Minister Del
casse's presentation of the circum-
stances of tho assault to the council
However, the officials do not attach
undue seriousness to the affair, par
ticularly, as has been noted, Germany
has shown purpose of acting ener-
gettcally. The nature of the redress
which the warship will demand is not
yet announced. The question of ask
ing for an indemnity has been cons'd-
cred, but it has not been decided
whether this will be required, in addi-
ton to most ample apology. One OF
the ships of the French squadron in
West Indian waters will be designated
to make the demand. The Haytien le-
cation here seeks to minimize the az
fair, which it attributes to few dis
orderly soldiers.
The German embassy has not yet
been Informed of the intentions OF
Germany in regard to the stoning OF
the minister of that country.

suggested that Watson be thrown

Watson rushed to Hornbrook's side
as the latter raised his gun, to shoot
