only white under the protection of the belgian
Government who has ever fallen victim to
native hostility. This murder was the culmi-
nation OF n period Of unrest. during which
many insults were offered to the whites. II
was decided that the natives must be severely
punished
Capt. rankerkovan. Inspector General Of the
Congo. started out with an expedition OF 800
soldiers. They travelled up the Congo to the
mouth of its greatest southern tributary. the
kasai. which they assembled for forty miles TO
the big town OF Mushi. described a few years
ago as under the control of native Queen.
Then the expedition began to burn and plum
dor he towns They killed scarcely any Of the
people. but the edict went forth that the
natives had been disobeying he laws and act
punished. so all the villages along the Kasai for
forty miles were leNelied to the ground. The
natives He'd TO the woods. and their planta
tlons were. to u large extent laid waste.
Then a part Of the expedition descended the
kasai and started up the Congo again. while

SAN JOSE. Feb 14.-Much apprehension is
felt in commercial circles. owing to the small
hess of the last coffee crop. which has been

Exchange has risen in consequence and
drafts on New York will probably bring 80

and the Government has decided to suspend
