DENIED AT WASHINGTON.

Washington. June 15.-The constant re-
ports that Germany is on the eve of max
ing serious issue in the Philippines are
unaccountable TO officials here, who have
the most direct and positive information
that Germany has never contempl-sa
such a step. and is not now moving To-
other powers. This direct information
overcomes many circumstantial reports
coming from Europe some asserting that
Germany is exchanging secret notes with
other powers. others that Admiral Prince
Henry and Admiral Diedrichs are about
to intervene at Manila; and others that
the German embassy here has made a
protest to the state department. and 9TH
ers that Emperor William himself is TAX
ing a personal interest in resenting the
American occupation of the Philippines.
There is the highest official authority for
saying that each one of those reports is
Sroundless and that they are all attribut-
ed to malicious purpose to embitter
the feeling between Germany and the
United States

PENSION CHECKS
Will Be Cashed by Postmasters at
Small Offices.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Many postmas-
tiers at money order offices at small
places have requested the postoffice de-
partment to permit them to cash pen
sion checks and to remit such checks to
their respective repositories in lieu of
the corresponding amount of cash. The
methods by which this interchange
could be successfully carried out re-
ceived the consideration of Commission
er Evans and Assistant Postmaster
Heath at a conference, the result of
which was that the pOstoffice depart
ment will authorize postmasters at all
money order Offices in the smaller pla-
ces to cash these checks for pensioners
known personally to the pOstmasters
and to treat them in all respect, so far
as prompt payment is concerned, in the
same way that money orders are now
treated. It is believed that through this
method millions of dollars will be paid
the pensioners through the money or
der system of the department and with
out any expense whatever to them.

Spanish transport arrived yesterday,
and another is due today, and a hospi-

have a total capacity of 1900 men, and
there is enough tonnage en- route to
clear the entire island of Spanish sold

will all be out by October g. The pre-

American flag have begun and immense
crowds of expectant natives are look

will be the most impressive ceremony

safe to give them vent.
A great number of transfers of con-
tract land are being made by the Span
ish authorities. Three years ago two
thirds Of the land on the island was
virgin soil owned by Spain. Hundreds
of liberal concessions were given to
have this land improved and these con-

BEWARE OF SPLINTERS.
Part of the Wood Left in W. A
Woods Hand Cost Terrible
Suffering.

w. A Wood, one of the county COM
missioners of Chase county is at Christ
hospital in this city suffering severely
from a peculiar accident.
Some time ago Mr.. Wood ran a splint-
err through his hand. 1t was small
silver of pine and local doctors in ex-
tracing it failed to get out all of the
wood. For a time the wound seemed
to be healing but suddenly began to
swell up and tester. The injured hand
puffed up almost to bursting and
caused Mr. Wood an agony of suffering.
At the hospital the other portion of the
splinter was extracted and the hand
split open in several places. Mr.. Wood
may lose his thumb from the injury.
