rect reports TO the superior authorities.
DR.. Peters protested that he was not
guilty and affirmed that he believed he
had the power of life or death over all
the blacks on the station, except those
who were members of the German colo
NAL force. He admitted having under
taken extensive campaigns contrary to his
instructions, but, he contended, the situa-
ton was then dangerous, as an attack
upon the part of the Waronges was fear
ed, and he claimed he was obliged to in
nict the death penalty in order to save
German prestige when the station house
was broken into, because he had previ-
ously announced that the penalty of death
would be the punishment for so doing, the
question of sex being quite subordinate.
DIR. Peters admitted that he had rogged
three negresses, but he denied that he had
executed his concubine for faithlessness,
explaining that she was hanged for con-
spiracy with native chief against the
expedition.
Lieuts. Pachmann and Jancke testified in
support of DR.. Peters
The trial closed to-day, with a verdict
sentencing Dr. Peters to dismissal from
the imperial service and to pay the costs
of the trial.

London, April A.-There has been con-
siderable stir In Paris at the public con-
fession OF Lee Taxi, who recently ap-
peared as a convert to Rome, from ath-
eism and Free Masonry. that he had been
hoaxing the pope. the cardinals, the priests
and the people. Taxi, for a long time
past, has been putting a woman. Diana
Vaughan, born Of Protestant parents In
Kentucky, who, he declared, was the Sc
cret head Of the Free Masons, who, i'm
America, were devoted TO satanism. 1t
was further stated that under the aus
pices Of the late Gen. Albert Pike, she
had married the devil Asmodeus. Soon
after Taxil announced that Diana
Vaughan had been converted to Catholl-
cism, and he found ready believers among
section OF the Catholics and even drew
a letter with the papal blessing from Car
dinal Parocchi the vicar general OF his
holiness. Taxii announced that he intend
cd TO produce Diana at a meeting and
large audience. including a number OF
priests appeared, but. instead, Taxil con-
fessed that he had perpetrated a gigantic
hoax. The audience nearly lynched him.

France on the other will, 1t is believed, be-
come much closer in the near future.
The pourparlers between Prince Hohen-
lobe, the imperial chancellor. and NJ. Han
otaux, the French minister for foreign
affairs, in Paris, while only touching upon
the mutual attitude Of Germany and
France. in the oriental question, were sig
nificant, as also is the visit of Emperor
William to Vienna and that of Emperor
Joseph to St. Petersburg.
A diplomat who was a member OF En-
peror Williams suite during the trip to
Vienna said to the correspondent of the
Associated Press: 1.-THE main efforts OF
the powers win be directed to keeping the
war confined to narrow limits, but the
success Of their endeavor is doubtful. II
Turkey utterly routs Greece all will be
well, but II Greece meets with even a
temporary success all will be chaos, as
there are good reasons 20 suspect that
Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro are only
waiting for chance 10 break loose cspe-
cially Bulgaria, which Is hankering after
Macedonia herself"
The visit of Prince Ferdinand of Bulga-
ria to Berlin was an event OF more than
ordinary Importance. The princes au-
dience with the emperor was not satisfac-
tory His majesty strongly dissuaded the
prince from engaging in warlike enter
prises and plainly warned him Of the un-
pleasant consequences. Prince Ferdinand,
however, was apparently not discouraged,
for he entered into negotiations with Ber-
lin flnanciers for raising a Bulgarian loan,
and also entered into negotiations with the
Rrupps for a supply OF quick firing and
heavy guns.

Possible Explanation OF the DeIaeoa
Hay Incident.

London. April 2L-The developments in
South Africa are creating much excite
ment here, especially 10 the case OF the
sudden dispatch Of the Cape OF Good Hope
squadron of British warships TO Delagoa
Bay. II Is the general impression that
Great Britain rs preparing for some I'M
portant move. According 10 one state
ment the government learned that sew
erai German warships had been ordered
to Delagoa Bay and consequently. Il was
determined 10 forcstall the Germans.
The Globe however, believes the expla-
nation is that Great Britain will possibly
obtain fun control OF Mozambique, under
the Portuguese fag. IN return for canceli-
Ing the large compensation which Portu-
gal will be condemned TO pay Great Brl-
tain as a result OF the DelaR0a award.
Great Britain would thus administer Aio-
zamblque aA she does Egypt and the naval
demonstration was intended 20 ward on

admirably and no ammunition was wasted.
The Turkish garrison at about noon was
seen to have sought refuge in the fort.
The Turks were supposed to number
about 5000 men,
The Greek naval commander then decid-
ed to land a detachment and complete the
destruction of large quantities of food stor-
ed there for the use of the Turkish forces
in Epirus. The bombardment by the fleet
was thereupon redoubled and under this
fierce fire a detachment of Greek sailors
was landed and Immediately proceeded to
destroy the stoTehouse of the Turks, be-
ginning with 1000 sacks of flour found on
the quays. After rapidly completing this
work, while the fleet imposed silence on
the fort, the Greeks set fire to the remain
ing storehouses and destroyed large guam
titles of munitions of war which had been
collected for the use of the Turkish forces
in Epirus After this work was complet-
ed the Greek sailors returned to their
ships, leaving the whole place in flames
and bringing with them fifty Christians
who had hoisted a white flag over a house
in which they had collected. The Greek
gunners took special care to avoid hitting
the building. The casualties of the
Greeks throughout the bombardm..nt and
the subsequent landing and destruction of
the Turkish stores were two sailors
wounded.
From Arta the Greeks occupied the
nights of Pontemazdia. It is believed that
the military operations in Epirus will soon
be terminated.

and another kept up the tension until near

The citizens accompanied by the militia
