GERMANS AFTER TERRITORY
WILL DEMAND A SLICE OF PHILIP
PINES OR OTHER COMPENSATION.
GrovvIs of a London Newspaper and
Editors of Berlin sheets.

BERLIN, July 2.-On the best of author
ity the correspondent here of the Associated
Press is informed that Germany. France and
Russia have reached an understanding rela-
tive to the Philippine islands. 1t is said
these three powers do not intend to actively
interfere until hostilities cease. after which
they will combine to prevent the United
States or Great Britain gaining possession
of the whole of the Philippine islands. When
the war is over an international congress
will be proposed, similar to the Berlin con-
gress of 1878. to settle all questions con-
nected with the war. All the great powers
will be invited to join, including the United
States and Spain. 1t appears certain that
Germany will then demand a slice of the
Philippine islands, or other compensation in
the far East.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
has received corroboration of the above
facts from authentic sources. The same
authority says Germany is doing a thriv-
ing trade in provisions, especially beans.
peas, canned goods and in ammunition and
small arms, through Hamburg commission
merchants, who are selling both to Spain
and the United States. The latter, it ap-
pears, is buying quantities of the potassium
used for salt peter from the big German
alkali works. All these goods, it is asserted.
are shipped from Copenhagen, mainly by
the Thingvalla line. The German gbvern-
ment has ordered that three cruisers be
kept in West Indian waters. In spite of the
war the German exports to America are as
large as ever.

Military Editors Our Enemies.

BERLIN, July 2.-The press of the coun-
try is now commenting on the Spanish
American war IN more unbiased manner
and with less venom towal ds the Ameri. ans,
although the military editors continue to
regard the situation as very unfavorable
for the Americans we'll as the Spaniards.
One of these experts said to the Associated
Press correspondent: IF Admiral Camaras
fleet were hurried to Manila it might put
Admiral Dewey in as sad a plight as is Ad-
miral Cervera, Camara's fleet is much
superior to Dewey's and reinforcements
could not reach the latter in time. The only
way to save the fleet would be for it to
leave the harbor before Admiral Camara S
arrival"
With regard to Cuba, it is thought that
the American forces there, apart from yell
low jack and the influences of the climate,
are entirely inadequate. All the American
operations since the United States forces
have been landed, it is asserted, have been
ill-advised and showed lack of foresight
The fact that the army of occupation is so
insuf1iciently equipped with everything
needful shows, the papers declare, poor gen.
eralship.
Some comment has been aroused by Mr..
Tilman's speech in the United States Sem
ate regarding the Philippines The National
Zeitung reiterates the statement that Ger
many has not yet shown desire to inter-
fere, except to protect German subjects,
should the necessity arise, which is by no
means unlikely, as neither Spain nor the
United States seems able to cope with the
natives. The paper adds: If the United
States should conquer and retain the Phil
ippines, or if Spain relinquishes them TO the
United States, then they would become
theirs by right of war, and it is improbable
that any power would go to war with the
United States in order to dispute their pos
session. Should Spain, however, lose the
Philippines without the United States con-
auering them, then all the countries inter-
ested in the far East would be concerned
in their fate"

German Rumors.

LONDON, July 2.-The Berlin correspond
ent of the Standard says: "A dispatch to
the Cologne Gazette from Hong-Kong de-
clares that General Aguinaldo. flushed with
success, insists on the absolute independ-
ence of the Philippines. Another report al
leges that there is an agreement between
the United States and Japan to prevent the
interference of Russia and Germany in the
Philippines by means of Japan concentrat-
ing a feet off the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li, in
readiness to seize Chinese or Corean ports.

THE CHINESE JUMPED.
A Gang Exploded a Firecraclxer In
Their Laundry.

gang of boys last night punched a hole
through the screen door of Hop Sings laun-
dry, at 133 North Illinois street, and threw
into the room one Of the largest firecrackers
that could be found on the market 1t ex-
pIoded in the room adjoining the one where
several Cinnamon were playing a friendly
game of fan tan or something else. There
was screaming and much excitement until
the Cinnamon learned what had happened.
Charles Smith, bookkeeper in the fish mar
ket adjoining the laundry. had some ex-
perience with the same gang of roughs.
They dropped a big firecracker close to him.
He was so badly burned that he had to be
sent home in a carriage.

NEW GIFT OF PARK LAND
THIRTY ADDITIONAL ACRES WILL
BE Donated THE CITY.
1t Will Be Made MOnday-FulI List of
Prices for Lands Pre-
pared.

Mayor Taggart said last night he expects
another donation of land along Fall creek
for park purposes Monday. This time he
thinks about thirty acres will be given to
tho CITY, He was not at liberty to announce
the name of the person whom he expects
will donate the land. 1t has been the plan
for some time to improve the banks of
Fall creek with boulevards, even though it
were not possible to carry out the plans
for a park system. The prospects for the
Fall creek park system grow brighter daily
Already fifteen acres of land have been
donated, and, as stated above. thirty acres
more are expected Monday. This, it is be-
lieved, will have an effect on other property
owners, either to donate land or to reduce
the prices they have asked to figures the
city officials think reasonable.
Mayor Taggart and the Board of Public
Works yesterday received full list of the
prices and acreage of the land for the
White river park system. Options were Sc
cured on all the land surveyed excepting
torty-seven acres belonging to the Indian
apolis Water Company and thirteen acres
belonging to private owner. The remain
ing 931.25 acres will be sold for $232, ,397 The
thirteen acres spoken Of may either be left
out OF the park system or condemned by
the board and so secured at what the board
considers a reasonable price. AS stated in
the Journal some time ago, the board be-
lieves the water company will allow the
city the use of its forty-seven acres free for
park purposes, as the only use the Water
Company makes of the land is to protect
its wells from pollution.
Out of the $350,0O0 for the purchase and
improvement of park lands $29S,O0O remains
to buy land. The following table shows the
acreage and the cost of the park land which
will probably be bought, not considering the
Fall creek system and the land donated
conditional on the creation of that system:

Mayor Taggart stated yesterday it will
take about $1,000 to put the Pogues run,
Spades, Davidson and Kirkland properties in
condition for immediate as parks. This
will leave $4,000 for the improvement of the
White river system. Mayor Taggart is well
pleased with the way in which the park
business has turned out. He answers
those who have suggested the enormous
cost of improving the park land in accord
ance with that of other cities, by saying
that the White river system is already a
beautiful park.

We're trespassing. He strenuously objected
pulled off on his land, but finally consented
to let 1T go and also to hold the stakes.
THE $500 PUT UP.
The money was finally put up. Lester
had up 50 ZOO, Ryan $500 and King roll,
the amount of which Lester does not know.
Lester and Ryan were betting on Kerr and
King was backing Ryan Lester and Ryan
were giving the double cross" At least
this is what Lester thought. Ryan was to
lose the race, cross" his hacker and di-
vide the profits with Lester. The men took
their positions, the word was given and
Ryan easily won the race. He grabbed the
money from Morgan and disappeared.
The other men remained with Lester to
try to square things with him. 1t was
finally agreed that King, Ryan's backer,
should produce Ryan and the 5000 at the

not show up. They had left the city
Lester and Davis went to the police station
to report" the case and Davis was un-
tremendously locked up. He protested
loudly claiming that he was an innocent
victim, but Superintendent Quigley gave
him to understand that the Indianapolis po-
lice were not as easily taken in as some
other people. Davis is charged with bunco
steering ana granu larceny.
The game is about the same as that by
which Gus Rahke, well-known gambler
was caught twice. The first time he was
caught by betting on the race as a race,
believing his man could not be beaten; but
his man fell dead" in the stretch, and
Rahlxe lost. The next time he was 'let into
the game and was to help do the fleeing

and lost over $4,000. Recently the game

DEATH OF ELMER IL. CRAIG.

The sad News Received on Friday Last
That lie Had Passed Away at His Tenn
porary Home in Ashyills. n. C.
Lest Friday morning the sad news
was licked from the wire that Elmer Ell.
Craig, of the firm of Craig & Co /, of this
city, had laid down the cares of life and
was at last peacefully resting and free
from the suffering attending his long
illness from lung trouble. Mr.. Craig
was graduate of the state university,
where he met Miss Charity, daughter
Of the late Gen. J. NJ Rusk, to whom
he was married. After the advent of
the railroad in 1879, he was appointed
station sge.t by the Milwaukee & st.
Paul company, where he remained I'M
til January l, 1891, when he resigned
TO accept the position as cashier in the
Bank of Vircqua. After a faithful per-
Torrance of his duties for period of
five years, he was finally compelled to
resign from the responsibility attend
ing the combining duties of bank
cashier in order to search restorative
for his failing heath. After establish
ing the firm of E. I'll Craig & Co, thus
arranging his business in shape to ad :
nit of continuous absence, his de-
voted wife accompanied him to various
parts of the west and south, in hopes
that nature might restore his waning
vitality. Mr.. Craig was near 80 years
OF age, thorough gentleman, the soul
of honor, unprstentious, and a home
loving and enterprising citizen. His
loss will be deeply felt, not alone among
those who have kindred ties that bind
affections hopes, but by all who knew
him personally and lived in the light OF
his intelligence.
The remains have been placed within
a vault at Ashville, N. G., where the
family had removed about one year
ago, and they will probably be sent to
( yiroqua in the course of two weeks.
