SET HUMANITY AT NAUGHT
Horrible Treatment of African Ma
tiyes by German Official.
CHANCELLOR LEISTS OFFENSES
Soldiers Directed to Cut the Throats of All
Old Women that Fell Into Their Hands
Prisoners Tied Till the Thongs Cut Into
the Flesh and the Wounds Festered.

PoTsDAM, Oct 16-The disciplinary court
to-day tried the case of ex-Chancellor Leist,
formerly the German administrator OF the
Cameroons district of West Africa who was
recalled owing to the charges of brutality
brought against him. The public prosecutor
accused Leist OF abusing the powers vested
in him and thus causing a revolt OF the ma
tive troops, resulting in a number of out
RACES, and with causing injury to the i'm
perial prestige by immortality.
The court acquitted Leist on Che charge of
causing mutiny Of the native troops but he
was convicted of abusing bis authority and
Of immortality. Consequently, he was con-
demned to be transferred TO a minor post.
In ADDITION. the court sentenced Leist TO have
his salary reduced one-tifth.
Tie charges brought against ex-Chancellor
Letst were Of the most startling description,
and attracted wide attention in March and
April last. For instance, weekly newspaper
Of Berlin, on april II, published extracts
from the diary Of German resident OF the
Cameroons, among them being statements
tending TO show that Herr Wehlan the Gov
ernor's substitute, who led an expedition
against the natives issued an order TO his
subordinates directing them to cut the throats
OF all the OLD women who fell into their
hands.
1t was further stated, In the diary alluded
TO, that the other natives who were uRfortu-
nate enough to be captured were conveyed
Oh shipboard, where they were bound to the
rail of the vessel, the thongs which held them
being drawn so tightly that in many in
stances, whom the flesh began to swell, they
cut deep into the legs and arms of the pris-
oners, wLo were entirely unprotected from
the weather and exposed TO the tropical heat
with their wounds fostering and breeding
maggots. The frantic appeals of the pris-
oners for water were brutally refused. and
when the captiyes were half dead they were
shot down like wild beasts.
Leist was also charged with 1ogging native
women, which act led 70 mutiny of the native
troops, during which the latter broke into the
government house and shot down Judge,
For this about twenty-five OF the rebels we're
aiterward hung.
Herr Leist was recalled in April last, and
reached Hamburg. on his return home, on
May %, where he was Immediately served
with o summons from the government order
ing him to surrender himself to the Ruthori-
ties In Berlin and prepare to defend The accu-
sations made against him during his 4dminis-
tration of the Cameroons colony.
Leist denied that the logging OF women
was the immediate cause OF the mutiny Of the
native troops. He admitted the truthfulness
of the charge of immortality as regarded na-
tive women. and said that he had made the
latter perform their national dances before
him.
The public prosecutor. who went to the
Cameroons to inquire into the affair. declared
that Leist had Sc all moral principles at de-
lance

MAY PROVE TO BE A MURDER.
James Costello, While Drunk, Commits a
Brutal Assault on John Foley-PoIice
Promptly on Hand.

brutal assault was committed by james
Costello, an old soldier. on John Foley, an
other veteran, about lO:40 O'Clock last night,
which may result in Foleys death.
The affair occurred in low, rambling.
wooden structure ia the rear of John GasS
grocery store, at the corner OF Whitney and
Sherman avenues, in the county anu was the
result Of a quarrel of several days standing.
Costello, the Rssailant, is a tall and very slim
old man, sixty-hve years Of age, while John
Foley, his victim, is four years older, and is
inclined to be portly
At the hour named a young man on
bicycle dashed up to the Eighth precinct sta
tion-hOuse and excitedly informed Sergts.
Kenny and HARRISON and Patrolman Nc
Namara that a murder had been committed
on Whitney avenue. The officers sprang into
the patrol wagon and made haste to the scene
of the supposed homicide.
They found Foley lying on the floor OF his
room covered with blood and In an uncon-
scious condition from the unmereiful beating
he had received. The bedding and furniture
were bespattered with blood and the room
looked like a slaughter-house.
Another old soldier who roomed with

broken Foley's room door open and forced
his way Into the apartment. Then, with an
oath. he sprang upon Foley, who was lying
down, and commenced TO pound him about
the face and head. Foley attempted to get
upon his feet, and in doing so slipped and
fell TO the floor
Costello then sprang upon his PROSTATE
form and stamped him in the face and about
the body with his heavy government shoes
Costello acted more like an enraged tiger
than a human being. He was full OF whisky
and continued 10 stamp and choke Foley
even after the latter had become unconscious.
When dragged away from his almost dead
victim Costello shouted; Let me get at him
again
The police placed the badly injured man in
the patrol wagon and hurried him away to
the Freedmen's Hospital, where the phvsi-
cians pronounced his injuries serious. but
they could not say to what extent the man
was injured. His face presented a horrible
sight, and he was unable to speak even in a
whisper.
There was kit Of shoemaker's tools in
Foley's room, and 1t is thought he used some
of them on the injured man. Tho hospital
physicians fear that Foley received internal
injuries as well as the deep gashes on mis- head
and face.
Costello was arrested by Officer McNau sra
and will be held TO await the result of Foley
injuries. Both men had been inmates Of the
Soldiers Home, but were discharged for mis-
conduct and because they drank liquor to ex-

His Imaginary Submarine Voyage 10 Be
Made Real BY Baltimore Inventor.
BALTIMORE, Oct. ia Baltimore inventor
hopes to make real the imaginary voyage OF
jules Yerne's boat Nautilus, under the sea.
After years of steady experiment Simon
Luke, of East Baltimore, has invented a sub
marine boat, which. ne claims, is
capable OF accomplishing what Jules
Verne suggested might be possible
IN the imaginary voyage Of the
Nautilus under the sea. Indeed if Mr.. Luke's
invention is a success, the French romancer
will have only half anticipated what the
coming submarine boat will be capable Of
Mr. Luke says: ''The boat is capable OF be-
ing submerged 10 any desired depth and
again raised to the surface at the vii! Of the
operator. 1t is capable of being propelled
when on the surface. or when sub
merged. or when on the bottom OF the
waser, as required. Many Of the operations
in raising vessels and removing eargoes can
be performed from it without going outside Of
It.
''The vessel is capable Of searching the bot
tom thoroughly in locating wrecks. with the
assurance that ground once gone over is
thoroughly gone over.
divers can pass from the interior OF the
boat to the outside and back again when on
the bottom as readily as they can pass in and
out OF house.

Dr. William A. Bartlett, the popular pastor
of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
who announced on Sunday his determination
10 resign the charge, has been in the active
ministry for third OF a century, and has, for
twelve wears, ofiiciated in the pulpit from
which he is so soon TO retire.
During the term of his connection with the
New York Avenue Church, DIR. Bartlett has
seen its membership increase from about 600
to its present total OF ,l55 and this substan-
tiai growth has been due, in large part, to his
energy and the popularity of his methods

LONDON, Oct. 16.-A Times dispatch from
st. Petersburg says that arrangements are
being made in the event OF the necessity
arising, to send six steamers of the Russian
volunteer fleet OF Vadivostock. where they
will be fitted out as war cruisers. All the
material for this purpose has been taken to
Vladivostock.
The dispatch adds that there is some talk in
st. Petersburg OF a revival OF the project of a
southern route for the Siberian railway,
which was originally abandoned because the
route would have run across a large slice
OF Chinese Manchuria. If Russia should
assist China she might ask for possession of
this territory as compensation. With Il sick
Gear, however, politics is absolutely quiescent.
The yaporings OF the Russian press about
new ventures in the far East find no echo in
more responsible quarters.
SHANGHAI, Oct 16.-Col. Won Hannekin,
formerly aide-de-camp OF Ii Hung Chang,
who was wounded while acting as adviser TO
the Chinese admiral who was in command at
the naval battle fought of the Yalu river, is

miral, the Hon. Sir E. Ii Fremantle, com

count Schuzo Aoki, who Is at present accred-
tied to London and Berlin, being required in

express officials and walked norvously up and

express oHclals anu walked nerYousiy up ana
down the street.
While in the hotel office beggar walked in
and asked for few cents TO get a nights
lodging. He had an arm in a sling, and said
that it had been broken. The stranger who
registered as Re We're and was introduced as
McFreen began to question him very closely
but it soon became evident that the fellow
was harmless chap. In the queries Re We're
was unusually searching and shrewd.
AFRAID OF DETECTIVES.

Va, where live," said the beggar, "but 1
think I'll try to get on train at Alexan-
dria, because there are not SO many detec-
tives there"
''Why are you afraid of the detectiyes?''
said Re We're, with quick glance.
"Oh don't want to be put off the train. -
After disposing of this man the visitor
lounged about, and reporter who had en-
gagged in the conversation with the beggar
fell into colloduy with the man, who from
all indications is one of the detectives work
ing on the case. While he asked questions
about the sensation that the train
robbery created in Washington, he always
parrled those put TO him, except partial in
timation that perhaps something might hap
pen pretty soon. Then the newcomer edged
quietly away and hurried to the Office of the
Adams Express Company.
In the front office on the second floor of
the building the officials held conference
with the detectives that lasted over an hour
before they came out again and bade good
night to the watchman.
While all firmly refused to say word, they
were seemingly excited and nervous. Mr..
Herring had very serious look upon his
face. and everything about the manner ofthe
men indicated that they were in possession Of
highly important information.
