GERMANy'S COUP D'ETAT
She Is Said to Be Secretly ARM
ing the Filipinos.
HERE'S A STRANGE STORY
II II Is True There Is Going to Be Seri-
Gus Trouble in the Philippines Be-
fore Winter Is Over-A Man
Who Claims to Know.

San Francisco. Sept. 23.-The Evening
Post prints an article to-day in which
it makes known the plans of the Ger
mans in regard to the disposition of
the Philippines. IL will be remembered
that some time ago the Post published
an exclusive article regarding the seiz-
ure of the Ladrone islands by the Unit
ed States. The details of this plot on
the part Of the government were fur
nished by a gentleman high in the opin-
ion Of the government officials Of this
country and Germany. The same gen.
tleman now states that Germany is en-
deavoring to embitter the followers of
Aguinaldo against the Americans and
she has officers in their ranks secretly
drilling them. The gentleman in ques-
tion says this has been going on for
years and prior to the interference of
the United States in Philippine affairs
almost every German vessel that land
ed there carried one or more officers in
disguise and stacks Of arms and am
muEition for the insurgents.
The Posts informant has Just received
letter from an authoritative source in
Hamburg. giving the details OF Ger
many future IN Ine lSian0S. Brlery
the plan is as follows: Germany will
send numerous trading vessels to the
islands and will arm 10000 F'ilipinos.
besides furnishing krupp guns and ar
tillery for field use. The islanders will
be thoroughly drilled by German off,
Gers and by February Aguinaldo will be
prepared to make an onslaught upon
the American forces. To aid this plot.
the letter says, Germany is trying to
induce China 10 purchase a large num-
ber of big war vessels, ostensibly to
strengthen her navy. but really to be
held for transfer to the Germans should
complications arise. The German agents
who made the report to their govern
ment say IL will be impossible for the
United States to land more than $4,000
men in the Philippines before Aguinaldo
is ready TO make his coup. The German
report OF the condition of affairs says
Americas only hope is to disarm the
insurgents. The Post attributes the re-
cent ordering Of additional troops to-
Manila after the mastering out had
been ordered as an indication that the
United States has been informed of
Germans attempt to Illustrate the
American acquisition Of the islands.

not tell of it. The sentiment of the
delegation is echoed by the democrats

ceedings. There appears to be a unan-

could not have done better if II had

democrats of Helena will not be found
wanting on election day in giving Mr..
Campbell their loyal and earnest sup
port. The judicial nominations meet
with general favor here, where w. Y.

known. While the democracy of Lewis

Goodbye Picquart.

Paris. Sept. 23.-Everything tends to
confirm the opinion that General Eur

Colonel Picquart, acted entirely upon
his own initiative. The Temps declares
that the cabinet had previously refused

TO prosecute Colonel Picquart. and that

Upon leaving the prison. Colonel Pic
quart had a portmanteau and a port
folio. He looked pale and careworn. A
mob, which had been bowling outside
the prison, rushed toward Picquart as
he emerged. shaking their fists and
shouting, some for and some against
him. A similar mob waited at the
Cherche Midi prison. A detachment of
military in both cases protected Pic
quart.
A majority of the papers denounce
