DIR. PETERS DISMISSED.


A dispatch from Berlin says that the
&C urt martial has confirmed the sentence
of the lower court upon DIR. Carl Peters,
former German high commissioner in
Africa, ex-chairman of the German Co.
lcnial Society, and the well-known African
explorer charged with extreme cruelty.
and even worse offenses. to natives while
he was commissioner in Africa in lS9l-
Dr. Peters Is dismissed from the German
service, and has been ordered TO pay the
entire costs of the prosecution.
The New York Times says regarding the
case: The trial of DIR. Peters began in pri-
waite before the disciplinary court for Ger
man protectorates last April. The indict-
ment charged him. first, with arbitrarily
hanging negro boy in 1881, and with
hanging negro girl in 1872: second, with
unjustly making war upon Chief Malamia
in November. 1891, and. third, with fur
nishing incorrect reports TO the superior
authorities. These offenses Were alleged TO
have been committed in German East
Africa.
Dr. Peters protested that he was not
guilty and affirmed his belief that in his
official capacity, he was vested with the
power of life or death over all the negroes
on the station except those who were MEM
bers of the German colonial force. He adj
mitted having undertaken extensive cam
paigns against his instructions: but he con-
tended that the situation at the time was
dangerous, an attack upon the part of
the Warengos, Chief Malamias tribe. was
flict the death penalty in the cases speci-
fled in order to save German prestige when
the station house was broken into the
question of sex being entirely subordinate.
Lieut.. Paokmann and Janke testified in
support of DIR. Peters.
Herr Bebel, the socialist leader. on March
13 of last year created a great sensation
IN the reichstag by accusing DIR. Peters
of hanging the negro and negress without
trial to the nearest tree because they had
taken a fancy to each ether, OF which Dr.
Peters oisapproved.
Subsequent to this statement the Eng
lish Bishop Tucker, in East Africa, de-
clined TO receive DIR. Peters. saying that he
would have nothing to do with a murderer.
DIR. Peters thereupon wrote to the bishop
that he was married to the negress accord
ing to the African custom, and therefore
had a right to put her to death for I'M
faithfulness.
DIR. Kayser, director of the colonial de-
partment, replying to Herr Rebel I'm the
teichstag on the occasion referred to, ex.
pressed doubts whether African travellers
and explorers could be judged according &c
European standards. This Apologize OBJ
servatton was greeted with shouts OF
Scandalors." "Robber," Murderer"
