Government and Germany.
NEW YORK, May A dispatch
from Washington to the Herald sage
that tue latest citizenship question
which has arisen between this govern.
ment ana Germany has resulted in the
issusD oil instructions by the state
department to Ambassador UhI,
directing him to make demand for
the immediate release OF an American
citizen named Mayer, who, the su-
thoIities consider has been wrongiully
impressed into the military service OF
the German government. A new and
important Issue has been raised in this
case. Mayer was born in this country
OF German subject the latter slth Dugh
living here for some years failed to take
out naturalization papers.
When the child was IL or II years
OF age his parents Returned to their
native land. Mayer attended Germa n
scheols, and when he reached the age
OF 81 he was informed that he must
enter the German army. Mayer re-
fused to enlist on the ground that he
was an American citizen. The case
wa, brought TO the attention OF the
American embassador who forwarded
the papers to Washington for the state
departments consideration. Investi-
CATION showed that Mayer really had
q claim on this government. The de.
partmeDt states in ils Instructions
TO the ambassador that persons
born on American soil are
Americans and as such are entitled
to the protection OF this government.
Whom the mstter was first, brought 10
the attention OF the German authori.
ties, they denied the night OF the
United States to interfere. holding
that rs Mayer was born OF II German
subject he was German citizen. The
authorities found that Ia another case
Of military imprisonment which was
considereu some years ago, Germany
admitted practically the contention
now raised. The authorities are con.
fident the demand OF III government
will be complied with.

LIVES IN THE CELLAR.
A New House Occupied by n Strange
Family.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 4-The cellar
OF house Inhabited by human beings
Ia strange place for wild beasts TO
make their homos, yet this has hap.
pened far back in the hills near Sunol,
Alameda county, where Antonio
Zinez, a farmer, lives with his
family.
Antonio ia thrifty and industrious
anu has prospereu. Two weeks ago he
moved from his old home into another
house that had not yet beeu occupied.
For several days after Antonio and
his family moved into their now
home, they heard strange SOUNDS
coming apparently from the cellar.
As Antouio was busy with his farm
work and those at the house were en-
gagged in setting things to rights,
no effort was made ITO ascertain the
cause OF the sounds, but as day after
day passed and the uoise from the
cellar did rot cease, Nunez determined
to make an Investigation. Though
courageous Antonio Ia discreet, and
he called in few friends to his assist =
ance. Armed with shotguns they
made their way into the cellar. They
had hardly reached the siae OF the
etouo wan pihto Wheh rum Tue space
beneath the stairway bounded a
splendid specimen OF California
lioness. Before a shot could be fired
the animal escaped through an opeu
door. A second later anu the lion, a
big ugly beast, mate a jump for the
stairway. Butthis time Antonio was
ready and killed the animal at the
frat fire.
While his friends stood guard at the
doorway Antonio made search uL-
derneath the stairway and found four
Cubs. They were as comfortable as
kittenp, having an old coat anu quilt
Tor bed. Nunez took the biting and
scratching cubs upstairs and Tor TIE
rest OF the DAY anu lar into the night
waited Tor the lioness to return INT
the brute did not come back. Nunez IL
going 10 try and raise the cubs.

TOO MUCH ALhMANCE
PETER HIRED HIS BOUND BOY
TO THE STATE AS GUARD.
SAM SMITH 0lSARMeO The BOY
Another Glimpse Of the Miserable Mismanage-
ment Caused by Putting Creepy Men
in Pieces of Trust.

Weldon, n. c. Nov. 13.-(Special.)-
The governing committee Of the peni-
Tertiary has made its round Of inspection
Of the State farms and it has left Peter
Hughes Halifax farm IN such state
of turmoil and bad blood that the do
ings of the committee has leaked out.
Peter may make a good cock pit judge
and hound master, but Roanoke cot
ton farm has turned him bottom up
wards and he finds it difficult to get his
bearings. The committee began its
work by telling Peter to stop employing
Alamance county men as there was
more of the State besides that county.
They found that Peter had his bound
boy from Alamance to whom Peter had
lent his family name on the pay roll at
ten dollars a month and board, and as
the chef duty of his fifteen year old
whip to Peters fox hounds, the State
turned Chester Hughes down. This is
the same urchin that Peter armed with
Mulligan and sent as n guard to this
town to escort desperate prisoners TO his
camp, and Sam Smith disarmed the
boy. Peter waXed wrath at this treat
ment and suggested that there was no
need of supervising if the committee was
to have full charge of the farms; where
at one of the committee told him there
was no need for advice.
Peter said he did not seem to give
satisfaction, which was no doubt true.
Peter, however, got little consolation
when the committee bounced young
Ferrall. guard, and son of Peters
head farmer, because Peter believed that
old Ferrall would Immediately pack his
family off and quit. Old Terrell got
mad, packed them off, but did not quit;
so Peer and he will continue to look
cross-eyed at each other little longer.
Ferrell, it seems, wants something
higher mighty bad. Peters family
have also supplied the Caledonia farm
with some of their negro tenants as
guards and no doubt the rent must come
prompt now. The above is practically
true us no doubt the members of the
committee will swear to it. Such is the
miserable mismanagementc caused by put
ting in greedy and incompetent men
and some of the employees assert that
startling newcomers may be expected at
this farm, who will require the purchase
of different kind of cradle from that
used in harvesting wheat.
+. SIS it lawful to hire white boy
and then hire him to the State ut a
profit? Where is human slavery? Is it
lawful to whip convict women? Where
is the grand jury?
