it was at Santiago, owing to the

THE most destructive agent in war
the mind of man has yet conceived is
the explosive gelatine gun, a weapon
which has gone TO Cuba with Roose-
velt's rough riders and the Shafter ex-
pedition. This little brass contrivance
can destroy more lives and property
than dozen of the great l3-inch guns
on the biggest of our battleships. A
pound cartridge" of gelatine will
blow into atoms in ten seconds a city

ish troops in Cuba, is SO called because
of the condition of the wound after
the bullet has done its work. Upon
impact, the lead bullet flattons out

formation of the mushroom. At the
point of impact the wound is usually
of a normal size, but with each succeed.

the flesh is torn and lacerated. At the

GERMAN PRESS DEFIANT.
Denies the Irene Story, and says American
Are Unreasonsbly Excited-Protests
That Germany Is Neutral.

Berlin, July 15.-The Cologne Zeit-
nng denounces the story of the Ger
man warship Irene interfering at Su-
bic bay, island of Luzon, Philippines,
as a fabrication. The Lokalanzeiger
says the Americans are unreasonably
excited about the Irene incident.
Even II 1t occurred, as Admiral Dewey says,
the Irene did not interfere, but retired upon the
arrival of the Americans Therefore, every
courtesy was shown that the Americans de-
mand of n neutral country. But, II the Irene
did hinder Aguinaldo's landing. 1t is no busi-
ness of Dewey's If the American admiral
sees fit to make common cause with the inSur-
gents it is none Of our affair. Germany still
preserves her neutrality toward Spain, and
does not intend to recognize Aguinaldo and his
horde as belligerents The matter is so plain
that we do not believe any diplomatic step will
be taken, and do not doubt for u moment that
the American oficials will admit the correct
ness of the German proceedings.
