GERMANY REBUKES GREED.
Says the United states Are Taking
the Last Drop of Blood.

Berlin. Nov. THE news that the
United States now demands the whole OF
the Philippine islands has created much
interest here. The German newspapers
comment unfavorably upon it.
The Cologne Gazette says The inter
ests of Germany will be especially injured
by the American annexation, as the pni-
icy of the open door which has hitherto
reigned under the Spanish Nag will be
quickly ended. Moreover, the Americas
demand from humane point Of view Is
unheard of. 1t means the squeezing Of a
fallen foe to the last drop OF blood, and
would sully the name of the victor. The
whole sympathies OF the world would he
on the side OF Spain, brutally ground
down by her enemy"
National Zeitung points out that the
Philippine islands would, in American
hands, become not only of immense com
mercial, but of paramount Importance.
(which all of the powers that have become
interested in the far east are bound to
seriously consider"
Therefore, the National Zeitung thinks
some power may oppose the change OF
ownership.
The Vossiche Zeitung lectures the
United States for its alleged greed and
the Deutsche Zeitung describes the Unit
ed States demands as an unfortunate
piece of characteristic Yankee impotence,
and calls on Europe to put its foot down
while there is yet time.
The government of Germany and the
semi official newspapers have been silent
or extremely cautious. But ii is quite
evident that Germany will not interfere
in the settlement of the Philippine ques-
ton, nor even encourage interference UP
on the part OF others, and it is under
stood that this has been minated to the
! Spanish government.

BRUTAL CRIME IN PORTLAND.
Italian BootbIack Murdered by Foul
Fiends Within the City.

Portland, Ore, Nov. within TIE
city limits of Portland one OF the most
liendsh crimes Imaginable was discovered
about noon Saturday The victim WIS
Angelo Sericko, an Italian bootblack 10
years old, upon whom first a nameless as
sault was committed and who was then
dragged to his death by his assailants.
Serickos body, scratched and bruised.
from being dragged and with marks OF the
rope still around his neck, was found in
an orchard on East Burnside street be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty-tirst street.
The boy had not returned home the pre-
vious night and his family, who live
within 200 feet of the place where the
body was found, had been alarmed by his
absence and early in the morning the
father, mother, sister and younger broth
or started out to search Tor him. For
several hours their efforts were unavail-
ing and they returned home when the
younger brother, lad of 6 years, almost
stumbled over his brothers body. lying
face downward on the grass. Its APP
pearance left no doubt as TO the manner
of death The clothing was torn almost
Off, the neck showed traces Of tightly
drawn rope and also evidences OF having
been dragged.
4 post norton examination revealed
the fact that death had resulted from
strangulation and that an unspeakablc
crime had been committed before the
murder. Ii seems probable that more than
one man was engaged in the crime as the
boy was above the average size for his
age and one man, unless very powerful
could hardly have done the decd. There
is no clue to the murderers.
