camp from town. was shot in the head
by a negro soldier who also stabbed him
IN the back. Gildhart was taken to the
~regimental hospital. a little later a
member Of the Fourth Kentucky is re-
ported to have been shot on Walnut
street by negro soldiers who lay in a
gully shooting at the white mel who
passed. Firing was heard in Liberia.
the negro quarter Of the city and "A
squad Of the provost guard went to in
investigate. As it turned the corne of
Fifteenth and Pine streets a
Large Crowd of Negro Soldiers
opened fire upon the guard without
warning. The guard returned the fire,
but had few cartridges and soon had tc
retreat. When reinforcements and am.
lnunition were secured the negroes had
disappeared.
In the engagement Sergeant Dodson,
Third Tennessee, was shot in the arm
and Private Graham, Third Tennessee,
in the stomach. Two members Of the
provost guard are missing.
When the news Of the trouble became
known white soldiers who were in the
city gathered around the provost guard
headquarters and begged for guns and
ammunition, but were refused. Cit.
ZEN armed themselves and repaired to
The Scene Of the Battle.
Mayor Hight had the saloons closed.
Several negro soldiers, N with a
Springfield which had just been fired
were arrested in various parts Of the
city and locked up, though it was with
difficulty that the Infatuated white sol.
diers and citizens were prevented from
wreaking summary vengeance upon
them. Armories of the two local mill.
tary companies were broken into and
every gun and cartridge appropriated
by unknown parties. General Frank,
who is in command Of the troops, came
out and was on the streets until a late
hour. A member Of the Fourth Wis.
consin is said to have been shot, but the
report cannot be verified.

oecretary longs Report Recommends a
Largely Increased Navy.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-The annual
report of the secretary of the navy is
much longer than the usual annual re-
port. The first sentence explains this as
follows:
For the FIRST time since its rehabili-
tation the navy has been put to the SUI
preme test of war. Years Of patient,
persistent training and development had
brought it to a point of high efficiency
which resulted i'll the unparalleled VIC
tories at Manila and Santiago-victories
which have given the names of ou1
naval commanders worldwide fame
and added an additional page to the
glorious naval history of our country"
Events of the War Recounted.
The report describes in rapid order
the steps that were taken to consolidate
the %squadrons and put the navy in readi-
ness for hostilities. The battle at
Manila. the blockade at Santiago and
the destruction Of Cervera's fleet are
discussed at length. official kilograms
being given in many instances.
In view of the prospective increase of
the navy and the necessity of guarding
the naval stations which will be needed
i'll the newly acquired territory of the
United States. especially in view of the
general efficiency displayed by this
corps. the secretary says that it should
be increased to 5000 men and the neces-
sary officers.

A Significant Deliverance.

This plank in the New York Repub-
lican platform was written by Hon.
Stewart L. Woodford, one day after
he had resigned as minister to Spain;
approved by the leaders of the party
both at Saratoga and, there is reason
to believe, at Washington; and then
adopted unanimously as the Republi-
can creed of the most influential state
in the Union
We have abiding confidence that the
president will conclude q peace upon
terms that will satisfy the conscience
the judgment, and the high purpose OF
the American people. We realize that
when the necessities Of war compelled our
ration to destroy Spanish authority in
the Antilles and IN the Philippines, we
assumed solemn duties and obligations
alike to the people of the islands we con-
quered and to the civilized world. we
cannot turn these islands back to Spain.
We cannot leave them. unarmed for de-
fense and untried in statecraft 20 the
horrors of domestic strife or to parti-
tiun among European powers. We have
assumed the responsibilities of victory,
and wherever our flag has gone there the
liberty, the humanity, and the civilization
which that flag embodies ard represents
must remain and abide forever.
This resolution is capable of two con-
structions, one Of which is hardly ten
able. The untenable construction is
that we can give these islands or some
of them over to a single European
power Spain excepted, upon condition
that that power will safeguard liberty,
humanity and civilization according to
the American standard. We cannot
thus relinquish Cuba because we are
pledged against it. We cannot consist
emily give away nor are we likely to
sell Porto Rico, because it's inhabitants
want our rule and moreover we need
it for it's productive and strategic
value. There is but one European
power which could take the Philippines
off our hands and give to them satis-
factory government, and that power
England-doesn't want them nor is il
likely if she did that we could make
the transfer without involving both
ourselves and England in war.
The other construction is that we
shall administer the affairs of these
islands until the inhabitants thereof
are able to go alone. In the case OF
Cuba this may be within a few years;
in the case of the other islands it may
be many years hence, possibly never
But in any event the responsibility for
the present is upon the American gov
ernment and people and they must rise

ing.

"As TO another and more important side
to the colonial questionable possibility
of establishing settlements of German
farmcrs-the answer is not as yet so de"
Cisively in the affirmative. 1t appears
proved that in one district of East Africa
West Usambara-some 800 or 100 Eau o.
pean families could support themselves
by farming, in a healthy and temperate
climate, and under conditions not unlike
those existing in Germany. In addition to
this district there Is a large territory
Uhehe, in East Africa, northeast of Lake
Nyassa, where, in the opinion OF the gov
ernor, it will be possible to establish large
agricultural settlements of European
farmers. In Southwest Africa the south
ern district is extremely dry: but water
storage has been tried with success, and
where facilities exist for constructing
dams, there is little doubt that there, as
in Western Canada it will be found proilt-
able to grow wheat, or at any rate past
ure In the central district a company is
in formation with the object of estab-
fishing considerable colony of German
farmers round an artificial lake. The
government is paying great attention to
the land question, and 1t is evident that
confidence is felt that at least some agri-
cultural colonies will be established be-
fore long. More than 100 European farm
erS are already settled in the colony. The
great want is of European women as Is
always the case in similar stages of colon
ial development. The climate cannot be
considered as hopeless from the agricul-

IN q MUCH interest is felt in the col
V0 onial experiences OF other coun-
~ rs,o r,s, ana a., especially when vi roICa 5nsy
regions, that the following report
on the German colonies in Africa by the
secretary of the British embassy at
Berlin, which has Just been received 10y
the treasury bureau of statistics, Is cs-
peclally timely. The German colonies In
Africa are located from three to twelve
degrees north and south from the equator,
the climatic conditions and products thus
being sufficiently similar 10 those of Porto
Rico Cuba, Hawaii and the Philippines
to lend especial interest to experiments
now in progress under the direction of
the German government as detailed in
the report, as follows:
'"rhe number of resident Europeans in
German Africa in January, 1891 was 1913,
OF whom 2,lS2 were Germans. The milf
tary force consisted of 962 German ort,-
GERS and men, and about 1850 colured SOL
diers, besides the police force The area
OF the German possessions in Africa is
given as S20,6iS square miles. The eX-
pense TO the home government was esti-
mated for lS9S-99 at i61 900 pounds sterling,
and 1900 pounds sterling dehcit, carried
over from 1886. This is an increase OF
5000 pounds sterling over the state SUD-
sidy granted last year. East Africa re-
ceiVes 26,000 pounds sterling less, and
Southwest Africa $4,000 pounds sterling
more than in the last colonial budget,
mainly owing to the grants for the Swn-
kop railway, the improvement of Swa$op
harbor and the increased expense of the
armed force.
