A Bloody Telegram.

The associated press dispatch about
the blowing up Of an American mao Of
war, seems to have been stale piece
Of novs rehashed, embellished and ad-
ded to, or else is o second edition Of q
real piece Of news. Tho news Of Q
conflict between the Olga a German
man Of war and an American man Of
war in Samoan waters, is at least, ten
days old. It appeared in the German
newspaper, the Germanis, Of Mil
waukee, Wisconsin a weekly paper
dated March the 9Th, copy Of which
we have before us. The following is
the news as it appeared in the sunni
mary Of foreign kilograms Of that
paper Of that date.
"In Kiel war das Geruecht vcr.

that conflict had occurred 10 Samoea
waters between the German corvette
"Olga" and an American war ship.
The American ship is said to have
fred the first shot. Neither in Berlin
nor Washington are there any advices
of such conflict.
If the piece of news is the same
news which came in the associated
press dispatches yesterday, it is at
least ten days old, because it was pub
lished in weekly paper on the 9Th,
and the news is evidently cleaning.
it is new version of the same story
how did the press come to miss the
original rumor Of which it is the Sec
ond edition. 1t looks as if the asso-
ciated press had been caught mapping

make up in blood curdling sensation
