Ky WAsntxoTOV, Dec 7. Sir. J. N. Leger, the
HREf. Haytlan Minister. Is nt a loss to undorttand,
rSIl In view of the ttatements published under
Ht-f Port au Prlnco date I net, why ho has
HaJL not heard from his Government that
Hli Germany hss compelled tlio Haytlan author
Blt fA Itlet to accede to its demand of Indemnity
H, , (or tho arrest and Imprisonment of Emlle Lue
B fi der. lie said to-night tlmt he had hoard noth-
H'f J1 loir official since his Government telegraphed
Hjv W Mm last Thursday that two Orrman warshlos
Bv' I'i were reported to be approaching Port au Prince.
H; S On Friday morning he went to tho Btato De-
LHr' if partment, and was assured there that the Ger-
Hif I'. man vessels wero meroly training ships on-
B 5L iraged In thelrregular wlntor cruise In the West
K 1$ Indies.
Kr f. "If there has been a settlement," said Mr.
Ei t Leger, "It seems to me that I nould hare been
ffi t informed."
t.-: k Mr. Leger Is exceedingly anxious over the
Hftf '? situation.
BE fa Becretary Sherman said to-night that be re-
Hil' i garded the Luedera Incident as closed,
HSt' j but with his usual rotlcence about dlplo-
Hn'! toatlo matters lie nould not dire his
H h reasons for holding that belief or
Bl a opinion. Anothor State Department 'official
K made the Bomenhat guarded remark that "the
Kl jh published accounts boro Internal efldence it
Vi rj truth." Ho was familiar with every aspect of
HKl ti the German-Hnytlan troublo made known to
HB p tho Department, but did not caro to make any
K further admission. n
Hrj SJ It was learned nt the State Department to-day
K! jj that a telegram bad been reci ivod last evening
H' -' I from Mr. Powell, tho United Stntos Minister at
kW;'- h. Port au Prlnco, which said that Intense ex-
ft'C y oltement continued at that place over the report
,. o lent by the Haytlaii Consul at St. Thomas that
Kt f two German warships bad left thcro for the
v '" capital of the republic. At least one other
r J telegram oamo to tho department this afternoon
-f-fji! from Mr. Powell, but tho character of tbelnfor-
E S. matlon he sent wns not mado public. An ofllclal
KJ W assured a Scn reporter thatthodepartment was
ft & unable to tall from Its advices whether the news-
K ft paper accounts of tho German demand were
V- -yi true. Ills guarded explanation of what Mr.
v '.' Powell had transmitted vvsbtioI very clear, but
E be Intimated tlmt Mr. Powell had sent a very
Bt $8 punllnc despatch, which scomod to indlcato
m p. P that some of tho newspaper statements were
M ) r.i correct, but fallod to mention others of equal
H 7 it tmportaccr. In answer to a question whether
m W :J the department had been informed oltlctally that
B. U i two Gorman wnmliips wcro nt Port au Prince.
,'. i he said that there wns nothing In the way of
l A u absolute confirmation of tbnt report In the ad-
, h. it ylces received.
K. ;P S If the German Government has forcibly com-
IB- y V polled Haytt to apologise lor Its treatment of
ft H u Berr Lueders and to promise that the heavy In-
m ' ' demnlty demandad In bis behalf will be paid.
H -:": t both the United States and their West
1, ;; '-; Indian .neighbor haio been deceived as to
i ; ! tbe- true intentions of Germany. Assur-
H Y p abSiV. bad been givon to tho State Do-
m x partmodt nnd the Haytlan authorities that

K & -(K constated' merely of two unformldable school-
i ,t aatpsengagod tn an Innocent cruise, a yearly
m 9 event for tlie benefit of n lot of naval cadets.

rt ti-. mandemand8 growing out of the arrest and tm-
i, gi p prlsonment of Herr Lueders.
br ,i The first of tbeio demands was satisfied last

v UK'- roi, commanded by Admiral Klllok, dipped Its
', IkM g t0 tto Oermun standard, and tho naytian

' ji I? flagship with twenty-one guns, which were re-
V S jf turned.

5 iV f out to-day, when Count Schwerin, the German
jj i Minister, was formally received by tho Haytlan
i ict t' authorities, who, it is understood, have prom-
I M SJ ised that summary Justice will be dealt out to
r" fP pf tb. ofQclals who were responsible for tbe events
3 ' leading to the breach between the two countries.
j Jp i As to more substantial compensation, nothing

5 . ff Is regarded as certain.

Jl ? The German merchants and others in this
i g i' city who are engaged in the nayttan trade are
g m M ytr much amused over the exaggerated re-
$ '4?' porta published In yesterday morning's papers
r 5 'S about the condition of affairs In that country.
M ! e 'ea t'1,lt tho Gcnaans would bombard Port

1. -ff. h ston Is almost as far from Port au Prlnco as
m S Brooklyn Is, and tho facllitlcj for getting gen-
; Sj' E ulno Information from Haytl aro better in tbe
M" p latter place. I mention this as an exainplo of
; g ( the kind of news some of tho newspapers print
Pi' regarding llayti and tbe troublo with Uciumuy
C otcr tho Lueders case,
f "A a matter of fait l'ortnu Prince hasticcr
Ji been in thu slightest danger of an attack from
i tbeacrmans. 1 understand that theso alleged
., . ' warships are a couple of school shins. I don t
If i. : know whether this Is so or not, but I do know

from them aa though thsy were a fleet of orator
loons. . . .
" oii'll call this a remarkable statement. It
seems so. but It lsn'1.' Any .man who knows
Hart! will tell you tho same thing. This whole
thing Is n lilutT, pure and slmplo. The demands
made by Germany are moderate enough, but It
they wero twice as easy It xvould neer do to
yield to them without ft show of resistance.
Why, tbellaytlansaroas excitable as a lot of
Frenchmen. There Is always an nntl-Govern-mentnnrtyand
always will be. and that party
will always bo on tho lookout for little things to
make tho basis of an attack on the Government.
If the Government of llayti ylolrtrd to tho Ger
man without making a bugo bluff the republta
would bo swept from end to end by revolution
in no time.
"Now. tho other funny thing about this mat
ter Is that here aro the Germans encouraging
the enemy to make a firm stand against tbeni.
It Is In accordance with tho present policy of
the Kmperor of Gormnny, who is working night
nnd day to scare the Reichstag Into pasting Ills
naval bill. This thing Is Just what bo wants.
Germany delled byallltlo bouth American ro
public 1 Outrageous 1 U will tnako tho Teuton
bend to a man to tho Emperor's will. It'll Just
scaro them into passing the bill and give tho
Kmpcror bis 8? 100.000,000 for a new navy. Tho
Emperor Is making it npnonr that the nttlttido
of Haytl Is n key to the eontlment respecting
Germany held by tho rest of the world. How
that will work on IhoGcrmnn ''nni 1
Ml. 8. I.ULUkllB.
"Now nt tho proper tlrno Haytl will yield,
granting all that Germany asks. Germany will
then withdraw, her honor upheld. But until
the Emperor gets nil he wants, this Haytlan
affair 111 bo held up to the German people as a
wnrnlnir of what mav hnimen tit. nnv t Imp.
" It is perfectly ridiculous to print these yarns
about Port au Prlnco being laid In ruins. Whv,
there are tremendous German Interests in tho
city, nnd outside of that, there Is the fact not to
bo disputed that the Hnytlans aro 11 senslblo
people and nre not def j ing a po er like Germany
for $'J0,0O0. Tho llnni yielding to German 'a de
mands will certainly be seized upon by the revo
lutionists as an excuse for trouble. But tbe peo
ple, sielng the resistance put up tiy the Govern
ment, will not be led into the thing. If Haytl
had yielded without n word, though, it would
have been the easiest thing In tho world for Ibo
revolutionists to gain their ends. In less than
a month there would have been an Insurrection
underway.
"It is outrageous for nenspnpers to print the
stories that they have about Purl au Prlnco be
ing bombarded. It Is a harm to builuois men
having interests there. Credit is hurt nnd
bankers aro shy of handling Ha tlan paper."
Joseph Nicolas, the Haytlan Coniul-Gcncrnl
In this city. hasrcccHc I no ofllclal Information
of tho condition of affairs in llayti. At the con
sulate, 30 South William street, It was said yes
terday that the homo Government was in tho
habit of miking all communications to tho Min

oflkial nature would have to coino through that
source.

About 2 o'clock yesterday morning the door
of the Madison street pollco station was pushed
open very softly. A man thrust his head in
side and looked coyly up at thelSargeant.
"No women here, aro there, Sargol"
Tho Sergeant told him that all decent women
bad gone to bed, and that ho could come In.
The man entered. He wore only a pair of im
provised trousers made out of green window
curtains and fastened .together with nails and
tacks.
"Now I'm all right, Sargc," said the man,
"although this Is pretty tough for a man who
doesn t come irom Mississippi, nut who is a de
cent bartender of this city. I'vo got a com
plaint tn make."
Tbe Sergeant called Detectives Little and
Farrington-ln, and the man told them that he
was James J. Kelly, a bartender, of 51) West
street. Ho said ho went to a Hamilton street
house on Sunday. He did not wake up until
Monday afternoon, and then ho found that his
clothes, hat, nickel watch and chain, and his
silver pcnknlfo. tbo wholo valued at 3 had
been stolon. The door, too, was llrmly pad
locked, and he couldn't get out cntlly if be
wanted to. IIc!mado tho trousers ho woro out
of tho grren curtains In the room and naited;for
night. When he llnally saw that there was.no
ono on the street, ho burst open the door and
scurried around to tho pollco station.
Tho detectives verified the man's story by
going to tbe house, and later, when tho man
had got eomo real trousers, they all sot out on
a hunt for tho woman mispectod of robbing
him. She was finally found on the Itowery and
urrcsted. Tho police recognized her us tho
wlfo of John Purcell, who was recently sen
tenced to State prison for a long time for
holding up Wolf Fish, a saloon keeper of
Grand Btreet.
The so-called Kelly proved to be John Hear
don. who was nrrested after the Lexow Inves
tigation for stabbing Georgo Appo, the green
goods man. Tho woman was arraigned later
In Essex Market Court and was held for examin
ation by Magistrate Hedges.

Catterlna Monrealn of Sicily, tho bride of a
month by proxy of Dartolo Carapexra of East
New York, left tbe Darge Ofllco in triumph yes
terday for her husband's home. Six months
ago Catterlna camo from Bloily to tho Barge
Ofllce and was turned back.
There Is reason to bcllove that there wai less
oflovo In the motive for the proxy marrlago
than there was of desire to dwell In America,
despite tbe Immigration Inspectors' stern In
terpretation of the laws.
When Cattorlna came horo before she at
tracted tho favorable attention of the Immigra
tion authorities. Sho was clean, her eye was
full of llfo and Intelligence and she was neatly
dressed. Hut her father, Domlnlco Monreala, a
decrepit old man, was with her. He wa ad
Judged quite unable to support himself.
To tho examining board It seemed quite Im
possible for Cattorlna to support both. Sho had
no friends here who would bo responsible for
her safo keeplug. Disconsolate the Monrealas
were sent back to 8lclly.
Tho immigration peoplo did not think of her
again until last Monday, when aho appeared be
fore them again with an aged aunt One of the
matrons picked Catterlna out of ono of the
compartments and took hor before tho board as
a fit subject of special Inquiry. She had lost
much of the glrllshness that hod characterized
ber six months before, but they remembered
her.
The Board of Examiners were not altogether
surprised whon she told them sho was married.
But her oxplanntlon that hor husband lived In
Brooklyn and that sho had married him by
proxy interested them. They told her to send
for her husband, who was, sho said, Barlolo
Carapczra, nnd lived at 01 Jamaica avanue,
Brooklyn. Ho was willing to caro for her aunt,
she assured thorn.
Yesterday Bartolo came. Ho was lntroducod
to his wlfo and looked her over with approval.
Ho had ncrcr scon her boforo. Catterlna lookod
at him Bhly. nnd it wns nlso apparent that she
thought him goo 1 tn look nt. Well nho might.
Tall, square shouldered, with light lialr and
blue eves and aggressively bristling mustache,
he bad tbo look of 11 man well able to take care
of an body.
"Will you tako this woman to bo your wlfo I
asked tbe Interpreter.
Unrtolo said, with volublo amplifications, that
ho otild. Tho examiners laughed and said that
aa to that thev were Bitlafled. Hut tbo aunt.
would hecara for her. toot Most certainly, said
Bartolo. Never should sho starve or suffer from
cold whllo ho llrod.
Then tho Interpreter explained to him that tho
board did not recognize proxy marriages, and
that tbey must go with n missionary to the
Church or Our Lady of Pouiuoli, In Sullivan
street, nnd bo married again. Bowing and
j uttering tbnuks Birto'o went -away with Cat
tcriniv and tbo missionary. After awhllo tho
missionary camo back bringing a certificate of
the marriage signed by Father Lorcnzino.

He was a Uttln painoj by tho tcit deception of
Cnttorlna nnd Bartolo.
At 1)1 Jamaica nxcnuo an Italian shoemaker
wus found busily rapping nt bis Inst. Ito was
not Bnrtoln Caiapeztn, hosnld in passable Eng
lish. Bartolo was I'onn there. Ho pointed to
tho floor of his hop and resumed his work.
Ho paused to admit shortly that he know that
II .nolo had bcn married. Ho declined ab
solutely to enter upon tbe- menial gymnastics
necessity tn comprehend what the reporter was
trying to explain as tho mennlngof a marrlago
by proxv. He listened through one or two com
plicated indirect marches upon tbo Idea. Then
hefinorted in disrust.
" See Hirtolo,' be said, pointing to tbe floor.
"How I" asked the reporter, somowbat mys
tified. "Outdoor, down, bnsamcntn," growled the
shaemnUor, wltboutlooking uo.
Outdoors, down 'nto tbo basement went his
auestloner. 'there ho found llartnlo kneading
ougb. Ho had bold of ono end of a long pleco
or pcantung. rnsteneu to mo Knenning inuient
ono end. Bartolo worked tbe otbor end up and
down, and the lever kneaded tho dough. Bar
tolo could not speak English at all. Ho scorned,
howevor, to understand nvcrything that wns
said to him. Ho greeted every leading question
with smiles and nods and broad gestures of
assent. After tho reporter had talked for ten
mluutrsand Btrlolohad assented nt fifteen or
twenty convenient intervals, all that appeared
to be lacking wns tho name of the man
who had been his proxy at tho previous
marrlago in Hlclb. That question he did not
answer except with rather dubious smiles of
assent. "C.itterimt" naked tho rooortor. By
signs Bartolo mndo it clear that sho was up
btalrs. nslcrp. After nnother vain wrestle to
sccuro tbe name of tho proxy husband, during
w hich Bartolo became inexplicably grioved, tho
reporter went nw ay.
Nutllftvpicos from the house he was over
taken by Bartolo and the shoemaker. The baker
wasclnmortng toclfcrously, as though to save
hMlfc.
"What's tho matter 1 tho shoemaker was
asked.
"He say," said tho shoemaker, "you no send
away, please I He bo good, Hedoevnttngyou
say. No senda Catterlna back to Italy 1"
It was the reporter's turn to be mystified.
"You no say,"uskeil the shoemaker, "Cat
terlna mustngoback Italy marry other man t"
"I did not."
"She all right! Stay hero I Bartolo all right I
Cnttorinn all right 1"
"Sure," said the reporter. " Everybody Is all
right."
The shoemaker translated. Bartolo bowed
embarrassingly low and was profusely grateful.
But tbe romance that he bad so obligingly as
sented to. seutence by sentence, went to pieces,
with the knowledge that he had not understood
a word that was said to him.

PLEASANT SVEPKISE TO SPAIN.

tbe rrealdeat.
rptttal CabU Pijaroa (a TBI Sea.
London, Dec. 7. A despatch to tho Standard
from Madrid says that tho message of President
McKinley to Congress pleasantly surprised a
majority of tho Spaniards. They hardly expectod
so much approval of Spain's Cuban policy, or
a recognition of ber right to the necessary tlrno
to carry out the colonial reforms. Especially
was satisfaction derived from tho President
laying down so powerfully the rules and prec
edents of International law In the matter of
belligerency and his disclaiming the Idea of
Interfering with tho rights of Spain.
Tbore was less pleasure In the censuro of tho
policy of the past two years, and tho con
tention that the United Statos had dono
their best to check filibustering, which
the government and peoplo decline to
admit. It Is, however, tho provalont Impres
sion that President McKinley's attttudo Is prac
tically even more favorable than was President
Grant's on the occasion of the former insurrection.

Paiub, Des. 7. In the Senato to-day M.

the utterances made by Gen. Billot, Minister of
War, and Premier Mellno last Saturday, when
theso Ministers) declared In tho Chamber of
Dcputtes'that Cnpt. Dreyfus was guilty and had
been justly condemned.
Gen. Billot repoatod bis declaration that
Dreytut bad been triad and properly condemned
by court-martial, and further, that Gens. Saul
tier and Pellleux, In repairing tho damn e dono
to the national defence by Dreyfus, had done In
estimable lervlco to the nation,
M. Mellne demanded n cessation of tho press
campaign In connection with tho case of Drey
fus, These affairs, ho said, conccrnod tho na
tional defence, and ought to remain secret.
The order of the day approving tho course of
tbe Government was passed unanimously, tho
vote being S31 affirmatives and no negatives.
A number of students who aro opposed to tbe
efforts that are making to prove the Innocence
of ex-Capt. Dreyfus made n demonstration this
afternoon that devoloped Into a riot, Flvo hun
dred of tho young men gathered outsldo the
Luxembourg Palace, In which tho Sennto was
In session, and shoutod tbelr disapproval of all
thoso Senators who havo been working in the
Interests of Dreyfus. M. Schouror-Kestner,
Vice-President of the Senato, who has taken a
promlhont part In tho attempt to gain a new
hearing for tho condemned army officer, was
ptrtlculArly tho objoct of tho vituperation of
tho studonts, and many and loud wcro tho cries
against htm.
Tho mob subsequently marched to tho office of
the newspaper Figaro, where they nctcd In a
riotous mnnnor, crying "Down with thoFio
aro" and "Down with Zola." Both tho paper
and tho novelist havo expressed the opinion
that Dreyfus's scntenco was a mlscarrlago of
justlco, nnd thereby thoy Incurred tho ani
mosity of tho studonts.
The pollco finally dispersed the mnb, but not
without resistance. In tho fighting that took
plaoo several of tho students wero Injured by
tho police. Several of tho rlngleadera were ar
rested. They were subsequently released, but
will bo prosecuted.
Tho Senato was crojvdod In anticipation of
M. SchoUrer-Kestnor making revelations. In
his opening spcoch, however, ho reit
erated his Intention not to abandon
his roservo until the closo of the ofllclal Inquiry
Into the matter. After tho Ylce-Prosldent's
speech tho procoodlnga wero viewed with com
parative Indifference.
Gen. Billot, Minister of War, replying to M.
Schouror-Kestnor'a contention that Dreyfus had
been condemned on a single document, declared
that the memorandum and every other docu
ment that was oxamlned by tbo Dreyfus eourt

This Is virtually nu ultimatum from Budapest

this city on Nov. 10 begins to develop points of
Inefficiency on the part of the Fire Brigade
which would bo amusing If tbey wore not so
serious. Ono witness timed tho arrival of tbe
first engine on tbo sceno nt twenty-two minutes
after the alarm wrna givon. Another witness
told how somo of tho firemen failed to rccognlzo
tbo hydrants whon thoy saw them because they
were not marked with the letter " H," as In
their district in tbo south of London. They
thought the hydrants wero electric light boxes.
It was also shown that the supply of coal was
extremely scanty. Some of the engines stopped
work because thoy had no coal, and manyotbers
were so short of fuel that their efficiency was
greatly Impaired. Tbe engineers of the fire
engines were such slaves to red tape that tbey
refused to accopt the offers of coal made by
anxious citizens.
Tho supply of coal maintained by tbe County
Council was two miles away from tho Are, and
the engineers bad no idea of obtaining fuel from
any other source. Eventually, however, twenty
engines were supplied with coal by citizens.

VANCODVErt, B, C, Dec. 7. Tiding respect
ing tho loss of the American ship Commodore
wero brought to Melbourne by tho schooner
Gerfalcon, which has arrived from Maiden
Island.
Tho Commodore, a vessel of 1,500 tons burden
nnd owned by Mr. W. A. Boolo of San Fran

a cargo of sugar, and all wont well
with her until Sept. 3, ot midnight,
when those on board suddenly aero
filled with terror to obscrvo land so
close to tbe ship that any attempt to niter her
course and prevent an Impending disaster
seemed futile. Shortly afterward tho vessel
struck on the reef-fringed shore of Maiden Isl
and, and naturally an exciting time was spont
by all on board.
Orders wero promptly given for lowering tho
ship's boats. No mention is made aa to tbo
state ot tbe weather nt tbe time, but from tho
fnct that Capt. Davis, his wlfo. tho officers nnd
crew safely reached land, It would appear that
tho conditions wero at least not unfavorable to
the undertaking.
Tbo ship meanwhile began to bump severely
on her rocky bed, and soon becamo n total
wreck. As far as ctn be gathered, the survivors
received every possible attention from
tho residents on the Island, nnd nt
the Gerfalcon was there loading guano
for Launceston, It was arranged that sho
should tako away thoso who doslred to leavo.
Eight of the crew. Including tbe second officer,
left on 'the Gerfalcon, but Capt. Davis and his
