Secretary Blaine has received letter from
Hon. VIM. Walter Phelps. minister 30 Germany,
dated at Berlin, April so. which has been for.

lation Of an article from the Tdssiche Zafn'g
commenting on the detail Of Lieut. Clarke,

he minister says; ''other papers comment
upon the detail Of Lieut. Clarke in the same
spirit These comments show that public
opinion here. rs on our side OF the Atianuc,

Is significant evidence and pledge OF
the kindly feeling which those high
est in station in the German empire enter
tain for the great American commonwealth
Lieut.. Clarke left Berlin last night for his post
OF duty at Dusseldorf, having FIRST personally
reported at the Office Of the minister Of war,
where his reception cordial"
The translation is ~ follows;
The detail Of an American cavalry officer,
Lieut.. Clarke of the tenth L. :. cavalry, 10
familiarize himself with cavalry practice on
German forces Qhe westphalien hussar
regiment. No. ID, which has recently
been mentioned in the newspapers,
is the first incident Of its Kind,
and will on the other side he
considered as significant proof Of the kindly
highest places In the German empire toward
the great North American commonwealth.
This impression will be deepened by the court
eous way in which high officials on both
sides Joined in the effort 90 give
the American officer his wish. The commander
of the third army corps. Gen. Won Nersen. with
whom Lieut. Clarke is connected by family
ties, had promised 10 assist him in attaining
his end, provided that he would first obtain
the consent of his own military emperiors
(superiors). This is what happened: The L.
s. Secretary of War, Mr.. Proctor, readily gave
his consent; thereupon the Russian war minis
ter, Gen. Won kaltenborn stachan, gave his,
and then the detail quickly completed. A
short time ago the American minister
siding here paid visit 90 the min
lister and handed him n letter from the
American Secretary OF War. Mr.. Proctor, In
which the latter expressed his thanks for the
interest manifested by the Prussian war min
lister in the affair. In his
to Mr.. Proctor Gen Won kaltenborn
expressed the great satisfaction which
be had had in being able to contribute some
thing toward streng shcning the friendship and
sympathy which has always existed between the
officers of the American and German armies"

SECRETARY NOBLE AT HOT SPRINGS.
He Proposes to Look Into Some Things
There Himself.

He Proposes to Look Into Some Things
There HIMSELF
Secretary Noble is at Hot Springs, Ark. He
is not there for his health, but he expects TO
benefit the general hygiene OF affairs on tine
reservation before he leaves. His visit
was entirely unexpected by those most
interested, and IA view of the fact
that the leases tor the privilege of running the
hotels and baths are now to be renewed for
another term of five years, his visit has con-
siderable significance. Ii is claimed that some
of the various lenses are held in the
interests of a combination, which fixes the
prices and rates that prevail at Hot
Springs. The Secretary is going TO look into
that matter before he takes action upon the
applications made for the various privileges.
There are about twelve leases TO be made and
some thirty applicants and the Secretary is
going to endeavor TO ascertain the best persons
to whom TO make these awards. and also
whether they are in the combination. He in
tends to make some changes in the lines of the
reservation, as to improve the appearance of
the place. This change is opposed by some of
the present lease holders IL is thought that
the Secretarys visit just at this time will affect
materially the normal temperature of Hot
Springs and viii cause u variation in both
directions.

HE CALLED THEM MONKEYS.
Attention Called to the Conduct Of Capt. A.
c. Markley, Twenty fourth Infantry.

Z. Markley, Twenfy-fooTfb Infantry.
The War Department is now giving ITS at
tention TO the conduct Of Capt A. c. Markley,
company /, twenty-fourth infantry, now at
San Carlos. Ariz. From time to time reports
have been coming in TO the effect that this
officer was having trouble with his COM
mand and eourt-martial after court-martiai
has been ordered upon his instance to try en-
listed men. Finally it was openly charged by
tine men that their officer was prosecuting
them and in proof Of this it was shown that he
bad caused half of his company to
be placed under arrest at one time.
This company is composed of colored
soldiers and as a class they are peculiarly
tractable and docile. but it was recognized at
the department that they might have some
cause Tor resentment If, they allege. they
were stood In line, lectured, cursed and called
black monkeys.
IL Was suspected that the captain might have
an unreasonable and unmilitary prejudice
against oolored troops, and finally Assistant
Adjutant General Macarthur was sent from
matter. He fell Ill with the grip en- route. aud
meanwhile news came that the captain
had thirty of his men under arrest Secretary
Proctor himself took cognizance of this extra
ordinary state of affairs and ordered the re-
lease OF the soldiers without court martial.
Now il is probable that a court of inquiry will
be ordered and if they recommend a court
martial will follow.
