Chicago, Oct. 25.-The military court
inquiry which has been investigating
the alleged brutal treatment of Pri-
waite Hammond at Fort Sheridan on Oc-

the twin sons, George NJ. and w. Sanger

German Press Worked Up Over Re.

Berlin, Oct. 2o.-The refusal Of the
szar and czarina to receive the grand
duke and grand duchess of Baden at
Darmstadt, after the latter had In,
timated to their Russian majesties de-
sire to visit them, is vigorously criti-
cised by the German press. The grand
duke and grand duchess of Baden, as
announced by the Carlsruhe Official Ca
zette, received reply from the car
saying that his majesty had already
made arrangements covering every day
until his departure from Darmstadt,
and, therefore, his majesty would be
unable to receive them. The govern
ment has issued orders forbidding the
telegraphing Of any comments on this
subject and its gravity may be gagged
when it is added that many Of the Ger
man newspapers regard the occurrence
as an insult to the whole nation, as the
grand duches of Baden il daughter of

The appearance of the island when I
came on deck next morning was al
together changed. Although the
breeze had now utterly. failed, we had
made great deal of way during the
night, and were now lying becalmed
about half q mile to the southeast OF
the low eastern coast. Gray-colored
woods covered large part of the sur
face. This even tint was indeed
broken up by streaks of yellow sand
break in the lower lands, and by many,
tall trees of the pine family, out-top-
ping the others-some singly. some in!
clumps; but the general co!oring was
uniform and sad. The hills ran up
clear above the vegetation in spires OF
naked rock. All were strangely,
shaped, and the spy-glass. which was
by 300 or 400 feet the tallest on the
island, was likewise the strangest in
configuration, running up sheer from
almost every side, and then suddenly!
