GERMANY OUR FRIEND.
Anti-American Feeling Attributed to
Interested Sources.

Berlin, July 21.-The Vossische Zeit-
ung is anxious that Germany shall not
be misjudged. Referring to the recent
dispatches from Cavite to the effect
that the action of the German warship
Irene in Subig Bay was merely a re-
fusaI to recognize the Philippine in
surgents as belligerents, the paper says
there is nothing to justify the talk of a
conflict between Germans and Aneri-
cans. 1t attributes the stories of anti
American feeling to interested sources,
and concludes thus:
1--WE have always said that the hber-
alton of Cuba was an aim which de-
served to please both the gods and Cato.
Americans ought to remember our sub
scriptiOn to their loan during the civil
war. Though it proved an excellent in
vestment, it was dictated by the heart,
not the head. 1t can not be denied that
a certain section of the German press
has taken an unjustifable attitude, but
we ask as a matter of justice that the
entire German nation be not judged by
q few exceptions"

Charleston, s. c.. July 21.-With bands
playing and 10000 people cheering. the

to Porto Rico got away from here at Z
o'clock last evening. The expedition is
under command of Major General ]. H.
Wilson, and will, when complete, con-
sist of the Second and Third Wisconsin,

The first two regiments are on the

No. p, carrying the Sixteenth Penn
syIvania and the Illinois men, will sail
today.
Each of the ships carries a large
quantity of supplies, and on the No. q
there are 1000 head of mules and the
wagon train of General Wilson's di-
vision. These men, together with those
of the Sixth Illinois and Sixth Nassa-
chusetts, which sailed from here last
week for Santiago, constitute the first
brigade of the first division of the First
army corps.
For two days and nights the work
of loading baggage and provisions on
the transports has been going forward
under rush orders. All the steVedOres
in the city were employed at it. They
were assisted by details of men from
the various regiments and the 500
negro labOrers employed here by the
government and destined for work on
the roads and bridges in Cuba. The
scene which accompanied the departure
of the vessels from their docks was one
of indescribabIe enthusiasm. Practically
the entire population of the city was in
evidence. AS the vessels made the
stream the bands on ship board and
ashore played national airs, and the
thousands of people cheered like mad.

KILLED BEFORE MAYOR.
Father and Uncle Avenge Attack on
a Girl.

Columbus, Miss, July 21.-Dan H.
Gillian, a travelling plumber, from Mo
bile, Ala, was shot to death this morn
ing by Tom and Will Gunter, brothers.
Gillian came to this city last Friday
and was stopping at the Gunter House,
a hotel run by Tom Gunter. Early this
morning Gillian forced an entrance into
a bedroom where was sleeping a young
daughter of Tom Gunter and made an
attempt to criminally assault her. Her
screams attracted the attention of the
negro porter of the hotel, who at once
informed Gunter of the occurrence.
Gillian left the hotel at once and at
tempted to escape from the city. A
posse of officers and citizens immedi-
ately started in pursuit. He was cap
tured at the Southern depot, where he
was about to board freight train for
West Point. Gillian was brought to the
mayors office, where the Gunters found
him. Both brothers at once began
shooting with dOuble-barreled shOtguns
and fired half a dozen shots each. Gill
liam was riddled with bUckshot and in
stantly killed.
The Gunters had a preliminary in
vestfgation before Mayor Humphreys,
who discharged them without bail.

INDIANS AS WALTERS.
Carlisle Students Serve Under aPrince-
ton Sophomore.

New York, July PA New Jersey
seaside hotel, where I have been this
week" said man yesterday, has a
dozen walters who would make an old
plainsman jump out of his chair when
he first laid eyes on them, though as a
matter of fact, they are better natured
than the average waiting maid. They
are all Indians from the gOvernme nt
school at Carlisle, Pa, except the head
waiter, who is a Princeton sophomore.
The Indians take great interest in
athletics, and one Of them, Albert
Nash, graduate of the Carlisle school,
was one of the winning team in the re-
lay races at the University of Pennsyl-
vania- Another of these walters is Vim
cent Natalich, who was taken prisoner
as child in the Apache war. For
time he was confined at St. Augustine,
Fla. Edwin Moore is the high jumper
of the group, who distinguished himself
at the Fourth of July games. Healy
Wolf, another Indian, is a little chap
who came from Alaska, and he is very
proud of the fact that he served Capt.
Pratt, the director of the Indian school,
s orderly. The names of some of the
other Indians are Edward Peters, Geo.
MuscO, John Garrick, Edward Rogers,
and Joseph Shoulder, and while their
appearance as walters does not suggest
the ultimate solution Of the Indian
problem, it does indicate that they can
adapt themselves to the surroundings
at a summer hotel, and that is some
thing that many a white man finds
difficult"

21-"M Mexican Wright of the Thirty

egotiations.

Washington, July 21.-The French
ambassador, NJ. Carbon, is back from a
ten days visit to New London, Conn.
where he was enjoying a summer out
Ing, while dispatches from Madrid and
Washington represented him as con-
Quoting important peace negotiations
with the authorities here. He left
Washington one hour after his confer

II, when arrangements were made for
pleasant social exchange between the
two governments in the near future.
Neither then nor since then has the
ambassador conducted any peace nego-
tiations, and he has had no occasion to

turned.

COVERINGS MAD FIGHT.
Disgraced Fort Sheridan Captain
Seemed to Court Death.

With General Skaters Army, Before
Santiago de Cuba, July 21.-The fight
ing" Fourth infantry from Fort Sheri-
dan was in the thickest of the fight
at Ell Caney. Among those killed was
Lieutenant Bernard and among those
wounded was Lieutenant Neary.
Captain Lowering, who has passed
through bitter experiences in peace and
war during the last few months, seemed
to invite death, but was not touched.
Private HOSheld, the man who SWOre
he would kill Lowering the first time
Company Q went into action was the
first of Coverings command to fall. He
was shot through the heart. HosheId,
Sergeant Kirby, and Private Walter
Anderson died on the field.
Lowering spared neither himself nor
his men. His losses in a company of
sixty men were three killed and eigh-
teen wounded. This as the heaviest loss
sustained by any company in the fight
Lowering led his men into the hottest
fighting there was. His men say he could
have led them through a raVine, where
they would have been sheltered from
the leaden rain, and that they would
have reached the firing line just as soon
as they did, shattered and reduced by a
third, by going in the open.
Coverings one thought was to re-
trieve the reputation that was stained
in the Hammond affair at Fort Sheri-
dan. He thought nothing Of his own
shrapnel that sung over his head. His
losses were nearly all sustained before
the firing line was reached.
While tOiling up the hill from Siboney
Coverings strength gave out and he
was compelled to drop from the ranks
and lie down by the roadside. His COM
pany had imperative orders and was
compelled to pass on and the Captain
was left alone. A number of stragglers
from another company came along the
trail and Captain Lowering asked them
to wait few moments until he could
go with them. They paused, recognized
Lowering, fatty refused to comply with
his request, and went ahead.
Lowering rejOined his command soon
after and did much to redeem himself
in the eyes of his men. When his men
were in position he seized a mess kit,
which is q small pan used for cooking
and can be turned into a shovel, and
proceeded to dig little trenches so that
they might be in a measure protected.
All this time he was exposed to a ter
ribIe fire. His mammoth frame was a
splendid target, but not bullet touch
ed him. He would plunge into trenches
to drag the wounded to a place of safe
ty while exposed to a fire which killed
several Red Cross men.

action of General Shafter meant the con-

that such was not the case it was the

Cuban officers in the field they would ac-

The Gubans assured the war officials
that nothing was further from their de,

came known that the junta had sent dis

was not approved by the junta. and if

to the Cubans. 1t is believed that the rep

will have no sympathy with those who
would bring about trouble, but that it is

report that General Garcia had refused to
attend the f1ag-raising at Santiago be-
cause the American general had given or
ders to allow no Cuban soldiers to enter
the town. Mr.. Rubens said that if Cen
eral Shafter refused Cuban soldiers entry
to Santiago it was mere matter of mil
itary policy for the time being only.
