WARSHIPS ON HAND
GERMAN CRUISERS REACH PORT AU
PRINCE WITH AN ULTIMATUM.
Right Boars Given in Which to Comply
With Demand* Previously Made—The
Iilttlo Republic Soon Yield to the Show
of Superior Force.
PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, Deo. 7.—The
trouble between Germany and Hayti aa
a result of the arrest and imprisonment
of Herr Lueders, an alleged German
subject, reached a crisis during the day.
Two German cruisers entered this port
during the morning, and an ultimatum
from the German government was de
livered to the Haytian government,
giving the latter eight hours in whioh
to grant the demands of Germany for
an indemnity to Herr Lueders.
PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, Deo. 7.—The
trouble between Germany and Hayti
appears to be settled. It is understood
that the question of indemnity demand
ed by Germany *for the alleged illegal
arrest and imprisonment of Herr Lue
ders has been settled to the satisfaction
of Germany, and that all the demands
of that country have been agreed to by
the government of Hayti, in face of the
display of foroe made by Germany, and
under tka threat of a bombardment of
the defensive works of the port unless
these demands were agreed to within
the eight hours following the time the
German ultimatum was delivered
shortly after the arrival at this port of
the two German cruisers sent to back
lip the demands of the German minis
ter here. The first part of the settle
ment took place at 6 p. m.,1 when the
Haytian fleet formally saluted the
German flag, from the flagship of the
fleet of Hayti, the Crete A. Pierrot, a
small vessel of 940 tons, armed with a
few guns of light calibre.
TOOK ANOTHER SLICE.
and
German Forces in China Advance
Seize the City of Kiao-Chau.
LONDON, Dec. 7.—A dispatch to The
Daily News from Shanghai says a tele
gram has been received there from
Chinan-Fu asserting that 200 German
marines and sailors, with two maohine
guns, on Friday last entered the city of
Kiao-Chau, 18 miles from the bay, and
took possession of. the oity walls and
gates. They were not molested, the
Chinese troops retreating as the Ger
mans advanced.
Nobility Among the Volunteers.
-BERLIN, Dec. 7.—It is deemed sig­
nificant that 120 volunteers, including
a number of members of the aristoc
racy, like Count von Kessler and the
Prince of Thurn and Taxis, are to ac
company the expedition to Kiao-Chau
bay, with Prince Henry of Prussia as
its commander.
Have Just "Taken a Lease."
LONDON, Dec. 7.—The Berlin corre­
spondent of The Times believes that
Germany has proposed to China to take
a lease, at a nominal sum, of Kiao
Chau bay and adjacent territory for a
"long period."
PENALTY TOO LIGHT.
Court Findings in the Covering Case Re
viewed toy Alg*«r.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Secretary Al­
ger has made public the reprimand ad
ministered to Captain Lovering by sen
tence of courtmartial as follows:
"By order of the president the pro
ceedings, findings and sentence in the
case
of Captain Leonard A. Lovering,
Fourth infantry, are approved. It is,
however, disappointing that an offense
so grave and, as an example, so far
reaching as this, should have been vis
ited with so light a penalty. There is
no question but that Private Hammond
deserved punishment for his conduct,
but he should have received it in a
lawful way. The military laws gov
erning the army are explicit. They
prescribe the duties of officers and en
listed men, with the penalties for their
violation. Under them both have
rights and obligations. When, there
fore, an officer, with intelligence and
experience, with which Captain Lover
ing is credited, not oniy violates these
laws, but exhibits such a lack of hu
manity as shown in this case, he should
receive a more severe sentence than a
mere reprimand."
South Dakota Railroad Cases.
SIOUX FALLS, Dec. 7.—Judge Carland
of the federal court has appointed Judge
L. W. Crofut of Aberdeen special ex
aminer to take testimony in the South
Dakota railroad rate cases. The posi
tion is Bimilar to that of master of chan
cery and was sought by a dozen attor
neys of the state.

At Schleuder's.
We spent an hour, yesterday, stroll
ing through the beautiful and spa
clous jewelry and art store of G.

has been remodeled and refurnished
throughout and with its tiling floor,
its paneled ceilings, its elegant new
show cases, its harmony of colors and
arrangement, Hs immense stock of
new and beautiful goods, it is the
finest store in Southern Minnesota.
Much credit for the artistic arrange
ment of the goods is due to Dr. For
rest A. Schleuder, who has had charge
of this. Mr. Schleuder has a grand
holiday opening this week and one
must go and get prices to see how low
they have been cut. No one can do
better at any of the bargain stores in

ship, which are veritable bargains.

most generally appreciated present.
Besides the vast display of gold
watches, jewelry and rings, etc., Mr.
Schleuder has a big display of solid
and plated gold and silverware. Hand
some tea sets, beautiful gold and sil
ver cake baskets, pickle dishes, fancy
cups and saucers, vases, elegant lamps
and stands, and in fact a lot of other
valuable and useful articles only
found in a first-class jewelry store.
Besides the elegant line above men
tioned the public will find a fine sup
ply of such articles as toilet sets,plush
and cetluloid albums, fancy baskets,
etc. In a word, 'if you wish to buy
something elegant and serviceable
and at the same time at the very low
est prices for standard goods you will
iook at Schleuder's stock.
We wish to add a word in regard to
Schleuder's manufacturing depart
ment. He manufactures rings, pins,
studs, etc., right here and one can
have such work done promptly and
from most artistic designs. Make it
a point, to call in at Schleuder's and
take a thorough look at his store and
extensive stock.

At this time of the year a cold is
