A NUMBER OF PERSONS KILLED-vIOLATI0N OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW.
LONDON, Feb. 4.-Advices from Cameroons state
that on December 10 two German men-of-war
arrived at the mouth Of the riyer and
on December 20 the steamers Fan and
Dualla, which belong to German firms, tOwed
launches containing three hundred fully armed
men up the river to Hickory. Upon reaching this
point the German troops opened fire upon the ma
tives, who gathered together and returned it. The
Germans then landed and fire to the houses in the
village. The chiefs at Fosstown on the opposite
side of the river, thereupon seized Woermann's
factory and threatened to kill SubAgent Pontanics
If any Of the Inhabitants Of Fosstown were killed.
The other German agents. evidently having been
forewarned, had left Canieroons and Joined the in
vaders.
On hearing of the seizure of Pontanics the boats
attacked Fosstown the natives returning the fire
until the Germans landed. Many of the latter were
killed. The Germans were obliged to re-
tire, but being reinforced they again
charged and drove the natives from the
town, the chief, Calabar JOSS being killed in the
encounter. The natives behcaded POntanics, car
ried his head through the town on a pole and re-
tired to the bush. The Germans set fire to the
town and retired. Hamiltons English factory
was destroyed by q shell, and the agent
injured. Another factory was damaged, and the
agent was compelled to take refuge upon hulk in
the river and narrowly escaped with his life. The
Germans next day occupied Cameroons The
German traders searched all the English ships
ostensibly for two Fosstown chiefs who escaped in
the bush. The German vCs el Adler completed the
destruction of Hickory. The Baptist mission
station was destroyed by fire. Many women and
children were killed.
The number Of natives killed is not known as all
were carried into the bush. The natives
now trade only with the English. 1t
is feared that the Germans, who accuse
the English of using undue influence will drive
the English traders away. The action
of the Germans IN making the attack. with
out declaring war and In searching British ships
In really neutral territory, Germany having an
sldered a lagrant violation of International Law.

FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
snlt the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make ii beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
TO Insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines. to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change Of cars to Iowa,
K.sSsss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
.s.s. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Is
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to the saving Of much Of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
