a volatile people is capable of cherishing

old scores, the animosity Is reciprocated.

Of all the masters of vessels coming to

Haytien ports, the Germans treat the port

officers and stevedores with the least con

sideration, often with unconcealed con

tempt. The wonder is that their attitude

does not oftener provoke conflicts.

If you walk tho streets here and a lower

class native hurls after you a certain epi

thet, you may be sure it is because of the

ill will toward the Germans, and not on

general principles.

Yet the Germans are by far the most nu

merous class of traders here.

It is certain that the concessions will

Involve the Haytien government in vexa

tious difficulties with other nations, unless

it does the same by them.

By the concession to the Americans,

Hayti will lose about s3\ooo In gold a year

in revenue. In order to afford to treat oth

er foreigners with like liberality she must

.devise new taxation. It looks very much

as if, counting upon the protection of the

United States in case of need, the foreign

minister expected to refuse an equal con

cession to other nations on the ground

that the treaty of ISC4 is purely reciprocal,

each party making to the other a specific

return fpr special privilege granted.

But such an excuse 4s likely to have lit

tle force if the West Indian waters be

come the principal naval battlefield in a

general war.
