France will take all the cotton they
need and allow shipment Of cotton to
neutrals without interference, as long
as neutrals do not exceed their normal
demands.
Last year" said Mr. Hentz. some
neutrals received little more than
their own supply and Germany and Aus
tria were enabled To get about 1000, 600
bales through neutral sources. II is
probable that Great Britain and France

Austria would take in normal times. and
that to-day's action will have little or
no effect"

serious Trouble.

WAsHINGroN. Aug. 2i.-The refusal
OF the natives in the northern part OF
Hayti to turn over their arms to the
proper authorities has created situa-
tion that may require an increase of the
American naval forces in the island.
The people in south Hayti have fallen
in with the plans of the new Govern
ment and the United States and have
returned to peaceful pursuits They
have given up their arms and conditions
IN that section are quiet. An intima-
ton is conveyed in dispatches received
from Rear Admiral Caperton who is
in command of the land and naval
forces in Hayti, that there are posslbill-
ties In the northern situation that NAV
lead to trouble. In this event Admiral
Caperton believes the American naval
forces in Hayti should he strengthened.
Everything is in readiness for the
quick despatch to Hayti Of $50 marines
Of the artillery division now stationed at
Annapolis. This detachment will take
with them twelve field guns. Admiral
taperton has no equipment of this kind
at his disposal at present.
Unless orders issued yesterday are re.
called the marines at Annapolis will
start for iIayti next week. The battle
ship Tennessee is steaming northward

There are now l.sOO marines ashore

Col Theodore Roosevelt broke yester-
day the silence he has maintained about
this country's relations with Germany
since the sinking of the Lusltania. Re
ferring to the destruction of the Arabic,
Col Roosevelt said II would be a fresh
sacrifice of American honor and interests
for the Administration merely to dismiss
Count Won Bernstorff. the German AM
bassador. and sever diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany The Colonels state

the German answer to our last note,
that is. the sinking of the. Arabic by
a German submarine and the conse-
quent murder of certain American citi-
zens, will be adequately met by the
Administration dismissing Bernstorff
and sundering diplomatic relations with
Germany. ] earnestly hope the Ad-
TO do so would he fresh sacrifice of
American honor and interests.
The Presidents note to Germany In
February last was an excellent note. IL
only II had been lived up to. But every
subsequent note mas represented moth
ing but weakness and timdity on our
part: and the sinking OF the Lusitania
and of the Arabic, the attacks ON the
Guinisht and the Falaba, and all the
similar incidents that have occurred
represent arrogant answers which this
weakness has inspired.
Germany will care nothing for the
m re severance of diplomatic relations
The time for words on the part of this
nation has long passed. and IL IL in

claim to be inhertors of the traditions
OF Washington and Lincoln that our
governmental representatives shall not
see that the time for deeds has come.
What has just occurred is fresh and
lamentable proof of the unwisdom OF
our people In not having insisted upon

paredness thirteen months ago"
