& THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 1898. HOSTILITY IS OPENLY MAINTAINED Press of Germany Harps Upon “Another Defeat of the Yankees.” The Attempts of Spain. to Secure European Intervention Con- tinue to Be Without Avail. BERLIN, June 11.—There is no ma- terial change in the feeling in Germany in regard to the war between Spain and the United States. The Government ecrupulously avoids expressing its views on the subject and”a few of the man newspapers persist in their at- ude of little short of open hostility ard the United States. Throughout e week they have vehemently main- tained that the occurrences at Santiago nted to ‘“‘another defeat of the and have gleefully printed Madrid dispatches supporting this contention. These newspapers also continue to charge the Americans with cowardice for not attacking the Span- “whom until recently the Ameri- steel.” A member of the general staff here, in an interview with the correspondent the soclatel Press said: “Itis ' rained soldier of the Eu- to suppress a sentiment to contempt when reading the ac- of what has thus far been done, ather, left undone, by the American y 8 nst Spanish troops in ith no Spanish fleet to worry money and transportation in ance, all the men needed at their \d, they have been unable thus ‘n effect a landing of troops.

Juropean stem of standing armies was needed the Ameri- cans have furnished it.” The foreg sentiments are appar- y all the German military men. The attempts of Spain to secure Eu- ropean intervention continue, in spite of the little encouragement held out by the Cabinets approached.

German Foreign Office is cognizant of the negotiations, but at- taches no importance to them. A high official of the Foreign Office positively res the correspondent that neither France nor Russia intends to intervene at the present juncture. The feas Anglo-American alliance or under- standing Is attracting widespread at- tention in the German press, though the idea is universally scoffed at as fmpracticable. The papers here profess not to believe in the possibility of such an entente and point out an array of regarded as foes unworthy of their | ibility and probability of an | | lvely recently. The statements made by the Minister of the Interior, Count Posadowsky-Wehner, on Tuexday last, in response to a request for an outline of the official views of the tactics which should be followed at the coming elections have caused a sensation everywhere. The comments, naturally, vary, as oc- cording to the predictions of the pa- pers. Prince Bismarck’s organ, the Hamburger Nachrichten, and others, declare Count Posadowsky-Wehner did not go far enough, what is wanted is clal anti-socialist legisiation. The National Zeitung thinks the Minister in his remarks ought to have included a declaration against the excessive demands of the Agrarians and the Tageblatt and other Liberal papers express similar views. The semi-official North German Ga- zette has been unable to conceal its anxiety lest the statements of Count Posadowsky-Wehner be interpreted as a one-sided declaration in favor of the agricultura s and middle classes. As a matter of fact, the only parties thus far active in the pending elections are the social! and Agrarians. The Gov- ernment, while not openly participat- ing, clearly sides with the Agrarians. A number of ¢ are reported where local Government officials have been strongly pressing the rural voters to support the Agrarians. The fact that a bill has been prepared to curtail the franchise in order to pre- vent an increase in the number of so- | fully | is having increasing in- clalist representations which corroborated, fluence in the campaign. There has been a split among the Centrists during the week. The Cen- trists of Westphalia have cut loose from the party, owing to the latter's lukewarm support of the Agrarian Democrats and they have nominated their own candidates. The Centrists have also lost a number of districts in | Bavaria through the independent Agra- rian movement among the Catholics. The Government proposes to ask the new Reichstag to increase the credits of the reorganization of the army and additions to the field artillery, includ- ing the creation of mortar batteries and the addition of a corps of mounted infantry to every army corps, an in- crease of the pioneer Tegiments by a | battalion each and the formation of three new army corps. The fact that the United States Gov- ernment is not participating in the Brussels sugar conference is regarded unfavorably here. Fifty persons have been made sick by trichinosis this week in the neighbor- hood of Zewickau, Saxony, and {t is as- serted that American pork was respon- sible for it.

The maneuvers were all well | carried out according to General Grant's excellently conceived plan, and the fact | was demonstrated that many of them would be very useful in actual conflict. The battle began at 7 o'clock and was concluded before noon. There were two columns in the for- mation. The first, consisting First Vermont, the Third Tenne: the Eighth New York regiment commanded by Colonel Clark of Vel mont, and was formed along the Vin yard road. ‘The second column, cor ing of the Fourteenth New York, Sec- ond Nebraska and First Missouri, under command of Colonel Charles J. Bills of Nebraska, formed on the Ford road. On the first hill the two columns met, when the struggle was begun In earn- est. When this was finished General | Grant threw the two columns together to ward off a supposed attack from | Bome direction of which he was sup- | posed to have knowledge in advance. | General Grant was highly pleased | with the way in which the maneuvers were executed as were also General Brooke and all the other officers pres- ent.

COLLIER NERO [N WAR PAINT Will Soon Be Ready to Sail for Manila. ACTIVITY AT MARE ISLAND MONADNOCK MAY BEAT THE MONTEREY. Main Battery of the Philadelphia Is BSoon to Be Placed Aboard the Swift Cruiser. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. VALLEJO, June 11. — Mechanics swarm about the colller Nero, formerly the Whitgift, which is now in the dry- dock at Mare Island. Painters have given her a coating of war paint, and | her hull has been thoroughly cleaned below the water line to permit two coatings of anti-fouling paint to be put on. Shipwrights have put In new chocks and towing bitts and are pre- paring the mounts for two rapid-fire guns on the forecastle deck. Her en- gine and boilers are in first-class con- dition and need little, if any, attention. The vessel now flies the American flag. Boatswain Francis A. Dran is in temporary charge until officers are de- tailed to her. She will leave the dock in a few days and be ready to start about Wednesday. It is not proposed to coal her at Mare Island, but the cargo will be placed on board at San Fran- ciseco, where it can be loaded .from bunkers at the rate of 1000 tons a day. The Monadnock will be ready before the Nero, and there is no doubt that she will reach Manila ahead of the Monterey. She will take her coal from the British ship Raham, now lying in the stream here.

PROPOSED BOND ISSUE. An Effort Will Be Made to Bar Out Corporations. WASHINGTON, June I1l.—Assistant Secretary Vanderlip, who has had per- sonal charge of the details of the pro- posed bond issue, said to-day: ““The subscription of $200,000,000 of the 3 per cent bonds just authorized by Con- | gress will be opened by the Treasury De- partment as soon as the bill is signed by the President, and will close at 3 p. m. July 14. This gives ample time even for the most remote sections of the country to receive complete information regarding the details of the issue and to have sub- scriptions from such points reach the | treasury. Every channel will be used to | disseminate in the widest possible manner information regarding this issue and to make It in every sense a successful pop- ular loan. A great number of subscrip- tions have been received in advance of the passage of the act, and there is every reason to belleve that the issue will be largely oversubscribed. By the terms of the law, the allotment will be peculiar. | The law provides that the smallest sub- scriptigns shall be first ‘allotted, and the allotments be made inversely, in accord- ance with those of the subscriptions. That will result in a line being sharply drawn at some point, and all subscrip- tions for an amount exceeding that sum will receive no allotment whatever. ““The precaution is taken to prevent in- dividuals repeating subscriptions, and thus getting an undue advantage. The law provides that all individual subscrip- tions must be allotted first, and, there- fore, subscriptions from corporatons and associations other than individuals will only receive an allotment in the event that the individual subseriptions fall short of the two hundred million dollars which is at present offered. ““The treasury will print about four mil- lion subscription blanks and circulars of information. These will be put in the hands of every money order postmaster and in every banking office and express office at the earliest possible moment.” ———— Demand for San Jose Bonds.

A number of recruiting officers left for home States this morning. Under the late recruiting order the full com- plement for a company of infantry is 106 men; for a troop of cavalry, 100 men; for a battery of light artillery, 173 men; for a battery of heavy artil- lery, 200 men. The health of the camp continues to be good and the authorities are en- couraged to believe that there will be very little serious sickness. There are still a large number of regiments par- tially.or totally lacking uniforms. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., June 11.—The first of the four special trains bearing the First Tennessee Volunteers en route to the Philippines reached St. Joseph at 9:35 o'clock to-night, the last follow- ing within an hour. They remained long enough to procure refreshments and the last train left over the Bur- lington at 11 o’clock. DENVER, June 11.—Orders have been received at army headquarters for the dispatch of the Nevada troop of rough riders, now at Cheyenne, to San Francisco, and Colonel Atwood, chief quartermaster of the department, has asked for bids from the rallroads for the transportation. This order is taken as indicating that the entire regiment is to be sent to the Philippines. The regiment is not yet fully equipped and provided with horses, but the several troops will be forwarded as fast as they are peady. CHICAGO, June 11.—Andrew Carne- gle has sent the following communica- tion to the Scottish Highlanders of Illi- nols in answer to their request asking him to equip a regiment of Highlanders for service in the war with Spain, the regiment to be uniformed in Highland fashion at the expense of Mr. Carnegie and to bear his name: “LANGHAM HOTEL, LONDON, May 80.—I do not believe that the war will last long, or ever reach the dignity of a real war. You will see Spain go all to pieces; much sooner than you could get the historical Highland garb pro- vided for the regiment proposed. If the country were seriously threatened and needed stalwart men who could be trusted to carry any position they were ordered upon, then I should consider the matter. Meanwhile T belleve I am honored by the suggestion that a body of my countrymen from the center of triumphant democracy should think of connecting my name with this regi- ment. ANDREW CARNEGIE.” An effort will be made to organize the regiment if prospects point to a continuance of the war. COLONEL CANDEE DEAD. Was Assistant Paymaster General and a Well-Known Veteran.

Bell, Now Residing in San Francisco. NEW YORK, June 11.—A speclal to the Herald from Rochester, N. Y., says: Forty thousand dollars is the sum asked by Mrs. Harriet H. Craig of this city for the alienation of her husband's affections. She has brought suit against Addie B. Bell of Buffalo, formerly of Rochester, for this amount. Mrs. Craig is the wife of Henry H. Craig, who was for many years a lum- ber dealer in this city and is a million- aire. He is about 66 years old. The Craig family consists of a_married daughter, living in New York; & younger daughter in this city, and two sons here. About six years ago Mrs. Bell was divorced from her husband, Craig be- ing one of the co-respondents in the action. Since that divorce, Mrs. Craig declares, her husband has spent a great deal of his time with Mrs. Bell at her home in Buffalo and he has given her sums of money amounting to $60,000. Besides the alienation-of-affections suit Mrs. Craig brings another for the purpose of restraining her husband from squandering his fortune and asks that a commission be appointed. Mr. Craig went West in company with Mrs. Bell several months ago and stopped in Fargo, N. D., for the purpose, it is alleged, of getting a divorce and finally went on to Salt Lake and then to San Francisco, where Mrs. Bell was intro- duced as Mr. Craig's daughter. The two became separated in a crowd and stories of Craig's disappearance were scattered broadcast. In her complaint Mrs. Cralg alleges that during and between the years 1882 and 1898 Mrs. Bell enticed her husband away from plaintiff and induced him to give her large sums of money and much valuable property. She charges that the defendant and Mr. Cralg, about March 1. left this State for California s0 that Craig could obtain a divorce and then marry the defendant. Victory for Oregon "Athletes.

MILL VALLEY, June 11.—A bold at- | tempt at highway robbery occurred | near here last evening. Fred Cowley, | proprietor of the tavern at the sum-i mit of Mount Tamalpais, was the in- | tended victim. That the attempt was unsuccessful was due entirely to Cow- | ley’s bravery and quick action. He had been in town during the even- ing and about 8 o'clock started for | home. When about half a mile out of | town on the trail leading to the sum- mit, and in the vicinity of an old mill, | near the cascades, he rounded the | bend and was suddenly confronted by | a masked man, who stepped out from behind a tree, and, presenting a re- | volver at Cowley's head, ordered him to hold up his hands. Comprehending the situation quickly, | Cowley glanced around and perceived a large stick lying on the ground. He | ADVERTISEMENTS.

The robber en- deavored to grapple with him to ward off the blows. The fellow managed finally to get hold of Cowley and a terrific hand to hand struggle ensued. Cowley tripped the.robber and threw him to the ground, but the fellow arose before he could jump upon him. The robber finally lost heart at the vigorous defense made by his intend- ed victim. With the blood from the wounds on his forehead streaming into his eyes, he was hardly able to carry on the combat. as fast as his heels could carry him.
