Otto Dorner. Dr. Gamikuth of St. Joseph's hospi tal. Omaha, writes a correspondent, has unearthed a novel case of appendicitis. It is that of Fred Ixuhns, a laboring man who has been under treatment at the hospital. Kuhns was suffering such agony that he could not remain quiet a moment. He could not sit down or stand up, and simply wallowed aliotit on the Hour. It was observed that the cause of his suffering was strangulated hernia, and during the operation found necessary the discovery was made that he was also suffering with appendicitis. The operation was therefore extended to the appendix, and when tho latter xvas remox-ed it xvas found to contain five bird shot, one of which had become en cysted. After their removal the patient recovered in niue days. He had never lieen wounded in the abdomen and it is said that a wound that xvould have de posited the shots where found would have necessarily proven fatal. The only conclusion was that he had swallowed the leaden pellets while eating game. MOOllhrs SKXTKXt 'K. On" Dec. 1.

WILLING TO PAT THE INDEMNITY. it Is Also I'roltaMe That Yielding to Su perior Force and In Order to Avoid In ternal Troubles the llaytlen Govern ment Will Aerept the Other Conditions. German Cruisers at l'ort au Prince. Pout au Puince. Dec. 7. The trouble betxveen Germany and Hayti, as a result of the arrest and imprison ment of Herr Lucders, reached a crisis yesterday.

The population of the city late last evening appeared calm aud the present indications seem to confirm tho suppo sition that the government xvill accept the conditions imposed by Germany so far as money iudemuity is concerned, and it is also probable that, yielding to snperior force aud in order lo avoid in ternal troubles the government xvill ac cept the other conditions. Tho exact nature of Germany's de maud on Hayti is as yet somewhat in doubt, but it is understood that the German government asks : First An iudemuity of $-.0,000 (American) for Herr Leuders. Secoud The prouiise that Herr Leu ders may return to Hayti aud there so journ xvithout danger of any kind.

Fourth That the president of Hayti shall graciously receive the German charge d'affaires at Port au Prince.

Powell, xvho se cured Lueders' release from prison in order to avoid trouble of a more serious nature, xvhich appeared to be brewing ou account ot the alleged arbitrary be havior of the German minister, Count Sehxverz.
