The explanation he offers now for be- ing in possession of the diagram of the location where the gold is cached is that he got it from a cousin of Newton, who, he sa lives in San Francisco.

Copyrighted, 1898, by the Associated Press. BERLIN, Nov. 26.—The German press this week has busied itself a great deal about the Philippine question and the peace negotiations at Paris. Nearly all the comment has been uncompli- mentary to the United States, which is charged with “excessive greed and po- litical indecency in formulating new demands,” President McKinley being accused of “inconsistency” and “lack of backbone” in not withstanding “the in- creasing demands of the imperial party.” A number of the German papers have now adopted a strain indicating a-desire to obtain a portion of the Spanish Asiatic possessions for Ger- many. The Kreuz Zeitung, which has much influence at court and in army circles, says: “Germany is materially interested in the outcome of the peace negotiations, more particularly with respect to the Sulu archipelago, where Germany and Great Britain possess the same kind of commercial privileges, granted to them by Spain in 1877, and in which Ham- burg and Bremen are largely inter- ested. 'American annexation of this group, besides being a matter of strategic im- portance, would mean, in view of America’s prohibitory tariff policy, the of both the German and British trade. In short, an understand- ing with Great Britain for joint action intervention is absolutely indis- pensable. The theory of an ‘American sea’ cannot be accepted by any of the| European nations. Mr. Kasson, there- fore, has been indulging in day dreams. The Deutsche Zeitung, an organ of the Pan-German party, says: ‘It is line Islands, to which will probably be | added the rest of the islands, a piece of | Spanish goods is disposed of to which we had the historical claim.” The Deutsche Zeitung concludes with casion to acquire a portion of the Caro- lines, or at least secure compensation in Samoa, and also obtain guarantees for the future of Germany’'s commer- clal interests in the Philippines and Sulu archipelagos. “Guarantees,” says spitefully, “which will hold water even against American Interpretations.” In spite of the newspaper comments, the correspondent of the Associated Press is informed on. good authority that Germany still does not contem- plate interference, active or otherwise, with the American claims, at least as lone as no concerted action is proposed or carried out jointly by the European POWers This statement tallies with assurances given by the Foreign Office here. So far as the United States Em- bassy concernad, no proposition of any kind has been made by the Ger- man Government. In fact, the Ge man press utterances urgin~ Germany to secure special benefits from America or Spain during the peace negotiations are solely an expression of the wishes of part of the German people, and they in no wav bind the Government, which is now, more than ever, desirous of fos- tering the good will of America. The Cologne Gazette publishes a let- it | ter from a correspondent at Manila as- serting. with ‘“keen regret” that half of the United States land and naval force there is composed of Germans, and giving a far from flattering picture of American rule at Manila. The Manila correspondent of the Vos- sische Zeitung draws an even more gloomy picture, dwelling upon the al- leged prevalence of drunkenness and excesses among the American troops. Emperor Willlam has returned home to find Germany in a seething political ferment. All classes of society seem permeated with the spirit of unrest and dissatisfaction. In liberal and radical circles there is a feeling that there is too much of the personal element in the government of the country and that this personai rule is doing much mis- chief. This feeling has found expres- slon in a strong article in the Vor- waerts, which discusses the matter in its usual caustic and able way. It says: “There is an imperial Chancellor and there are imperial Prussian ministers. But who hears of them? Where is Prince Hohenlohe? What is he doing? No one knows. We hear day after day of the acts of the Government. The Emperor is everywhere and the Chan- cellor i{s nowhere.” The meeting of the Reichstag is looked forward to with apprehension. The reopening of that body was an- nounced to-day for December 6, and domestic problems will have to be faced which it will require most tactful and liberal statesmanship to solve sat- isfactorily. The anti-Semites are clam- oring for measures against the Jews; the Junkers demand legislation to ar- rest the growth of the Polish population and to oppose the steady march of the Slav races westward; the Soclalists are clamorous for recognition and extension of the rights of the working class; the | Radicals are insisting on a whole pro- gramme of reforms; the Danes in North Schleswig are bitterly resenting the ex- pulsions of Danes; the Alsatians are opposing a dictatorship in Alsace-Lor- raine, and the Agrarians are goading the \Government into a reactionary tariff policy. Such is the stormy sea of conflicting demands in which the German Govern- ment has to navigate during the com- ing session of the Imperial Diet. It was hoped the Emperor would visit the three South German rulers on his way home and assist in the task of government by allaying some of the {ll- feeling which is still latent in the south against Prussia. The fact that Russia is not on very friendly terms with Germany and that Emperor Willlam’s visit to the Holy Land has made matters worse is re- ceiving confirmation in more than one quarter. Prince Ukholmsky, the Czar's close friend and confidant, in the St. Petershurg Vedomosti, violently ex- presses Russian disapproval of the trip, calling Emperor William a rene- gade and accusing the whole German nation of being his accomplices.

The Emperor and Empress of Ger- many returned home terribly sunburn- ed, but they have been benefited in health. During their majesties’ trip the or- chestra of the imperial yacht Hohen- zollern performed on several occasions a symphony composed by the Emperor, and while at Messina, Sicily, the sym- phony was performed at house. The audience did not appreciate its beauties and gave upmistakable signs of displeasure. Emperor William presented Queen Margaret of Italy with a birthday gift of four costly oriental rugs from the Sultan’s factory. Incidentally the Sul- tan’s presents to the Emperor and Em- press of Germany, which have arrived here, fill a big freight car, without counting two beautiful caiques which the Sultan gave the Emperor on learn- ing of the latter’s love for rowing. Emperor William has sent the Sul- tan a bronze table, in the center of which is a portrait of the Kaiser {n the uniform of the Guard du Corps, and he has also sent the Sultan two oil paint- ings, painted by himself in Damascus, representing types of Turkish soldiers. A sensation is related by a German named Fisher, who has returned home after five vears served in the French legion at Salda, province of Osan, Al- gerla, and elsewhoi2 in Algeria. Fisher, it appears, deserte three months ago, succeeded in reaching Morocco and from there traveled to Hamburg. He has now informed the military authorities that a German had been kept in severe imprisonment in a tower at Salda ever since the Franco-German war. According to the Vossische Zel- tung, the German Foreign Office has taken steps to secure the release of this soldfer, who, apparently in deflance of all international law, has been a prisoner for nearly thirty years. Official statistics show that German cattle everywhere are suffering from tuberculosis and other diseases. In the district of Aix-la-Chapelle, for in- stance, 83 communes show that 749 farms are so infected. At least 40 per cent of all the German cattle have tu- berculosis, and in some districts the percentage is as high as 79 per cent. A young American seientist at the Hygienlc Institute here, Dr. Nuttall, has created a sensation in scientific cir- cles by the publication of a pamphlet in which he cites strone evidence in support of the contention that Profes- sor Koch, who is now investigating the malaria bacilli, has taken credit to him- self for allered discoveries in various cattle diseases and in malaria, which discoveries were really made by Ameri- can sclentists years ago. * Janowski Beats Showalter.

MANILA, Nov. 26.—Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, has addressed a sec- ond communication to Major General Otis, the American military com- mander, on the subject of the Spanish prisoners in the hands of the insur- gents. He has declined to release the clericals and civillans, arguing that both carried arms voluntarily against | Navy Department to-day statines that the captain of the Boston had land- ed his marine guard at Tientsin. The | dispatch was taken immediately to the | | 1en. | White House by Acting Secretary Al-g§ Secretary Hay was called in consul- tation, with the result of reassuring the officials and allaying their first feeling of apprehension. It seems that the ma- rines were landed not because of any information of rioting or attacks upon American missionaries but. solely to act’as guard for the United States Le- gation at Peking. i The Boston was dispatched to the mouth of the Pieho River several weeks agosat the instance of United States Minister Conger to provide a guard for the legation. The Minister repre- sented that nearly all of the legations of the European powers were provided with marine guards and he did.not care to be exceptional in this case. After ly- in- at Tangu for a while, the Boston worked her way up the river to Tien- tsin, about the head of navigation for vessels of her class and distant about fifty or sixty miles from Peking. It 1s believed at the Navy Department that the marines willi be sent forward from that point in launches or small river boats. Captain Frank Wilder, the commander of the Boston, who re- ported the landing to the Navy Depart- ment by cabl-, did not state how many ) the insurgents. Aguinaldo then refers General Otis to the local papers pub- lished since the insurrection for “irre- futable proof” of his assertion that the clericals were the most active and vengeful agents In “sacrificing the lives and honor of innocent natives.” Continuing, Aguinaldo quotes the in- ternational rule of reprisal, claiming the right to delay the prisoners in the hope of causing Spain “to liberate the Filipinos and to cease torturing and shooting natives whose only crime has been the love of liberty.” Ag to his having said, in a former let- ter, that international laws must recede before the just wishes of the people, Aguinaldo asserts that he meant that, under the existing circumstances, rec- ognized laws “must accedeto the wishes of those fighting for the recognition of the bulk of said laws.” The insurgent leader also maintaing his right to detain the prisoners until the Vatican recognizes the rights of the Filipino clericals and civilians or until they are éxchanged.
