GERMANY'S SECRET AID.
/ sara to BE Supplying the Filipinos
with Arms and Ammunition.


San Francisco, Sept. 26. The Even.
ing Post prints an article today in
which 1t makes known the plans of the
Germans in regard to the disposition
OF the Philippines.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago the Post published an exclu-
slVe article regarding the seizure of
the Ladrone islands by the United
states. The details OF this plot on the
part Of the government were furnished
by gentleman high in opinion of gov
eminent officials of this country and
Germany.
The same gentleman now states that
Germany is endeavoring to embitter
the followers OF Aguinaldo against the
Americans, and she has officers in their
ranks secretly drilling them. The
gentleman in question says this has
been going on for years, and, prior to
the interference of the United States
In Philippine affairs. almost every Ger
man vessel that landed there carried
one or more officers in disguise. and
stacks Of arms and ammunition tor the
insurgents.
The POSTS informant has lust re-
ceived a letter from an authoritative
source in Hamburg giving details of
Germany's future in the islands.
Briefly, the plan follows: Germany
will send numerous trading vessels to
the islands, and will arm l50, 900 Fill
pinos, besides furnishing Klupp guns
and artillery foT field use- The island
ers will be thoroughly drilled by Ge,-
man officers, and by February, Agui-
naldo will be prepared to make an on
slaught upon the American forces.
To aid this plot, the letter says, Ger
many is trying TO induce China to pur-
chase large number OF big war vessels,
ostensibly to strengthen her navy, but
really to be held for transfer to Ger
many should complications arise, The
German agents who have made report
to their government say it will be i'm
possible for the United States to land
more than $4,000 men in the Philip
pines 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 recent order
ing of additional troops to Manila, after
mastering out bad been ordered, as an
indication that the United States has
been informed of Germany's attempt
to Illustrate American acquisition OF the
islands.

yacht Cnntnin Mnrdered.

Sausalito, CAL, Sept. 27.-Captain
Brooks, of the yacht Chispa, which
was anchored in the stream opposite
this town, was murdered at l:45
o'clock this morning by two bay pi-
rates. They boarded the little vessel
evidently believing it to be without a
watchman. They plundered the lock-
ers and were about ready to pull ashore
in small boat when Captain Brooks
and a companion, who had been asleep
in the cabin, were aroused and made
their appearance on deck. A desperate
fight ensued, during which Captain
Brooks was killed, and the other man,
whose name has not been learned, was
wounded. The murderers then made
their escape, pulling toward the shore
in the darkness,

Washington, Sept. 94.-The follow

a letter from Alexander q. Revell, Of
Chicago, vioe-president Of the Lafay-

Washington, Sept. 24.-My Dear
SIR: Your letter written in behalf Of
the Lafayette memorial commission
has greatly interested me, and have
read with much satisfaction the plans
already outlined for the proposed mon
ument to the memory OF great soldier
and patriot.
"The undertaking is one in which
am sure it will be considered privi-
lege to participate, and the idea that
the students in the schools, colleges
and universities shall take prominent
part in this tribute will not only be Of
vast educational value as to one of the
most important epoohs in history, but
will keep prominently before them the
inspiration of high ideal Of devotion
to great principles and the public re-
cognition paid TO lofty purposes.
General Lafayette wac but young
man when he espoused the cause OF
liberty and independence, overcoming
we'll nigh insurmountable obstacles to
do 80. 1t is altogether fitting, there
fore, that the youth Of America should
have part in this testimonial to his
goodness and grestnesa
II am glad to note that your COM
mission has fixed date when our peo-
pie, in every part of the country, may
testify their interest in this proposed
monument and their determination
that the movement already begun shall
achieve the greatest success. Very sim
cerely yours,

HOLD-UP NEAR KANSAS CITY
Missouri Pacific Train Robbed by Men
Who Used Dynamite,

Kansas City, Sept. 26.-The Colo
RADIO and Coffeyville express train on
the Missouri Pacific railway, which
left Kansas City at 9il5 o. clock tonight,
was held up by robbers near Leeds, a
suburban station, about six miles out
from the Union depot. The locomo-
tive and baggage car we're detached
from the train and taken down the
track toward Dodson. after which the
robbers shattered the Pacific Express
Company's car with dynamite
Officials of the express company state
that the safe contained little treasure,
as the messenger carried nothing des-
tined for points beyond Coffeyville.
The explosion of the dynamite was
heard by many persons in the south
eastern part of Kansas City. Flying
debris from the shattered car carried
down telegraph wires along the Frisco
track, which parallels the Missouri Pa
cific at that point.
Before committing the hold-up the
robbers entered the Frisco station at
Belt Line, just east of Leeds, and over
powered the operator, After smashing
the instrument in his Office, they took
the operator with them to tie scene of
the robbery.
The robbers numbered seven, it is
reported. The scene of the hold-up is
not far from Brush creek of the Blue
river, where there is thick brush and
heavy timber, and the escape of the
robbers from that locality would not be
a difficult matter. A special train has
taken police and railway detectives to
the scene. At late hour the train
was still detained there, owing to the
wreck of the baggage car. So far as
can be learned the passengers were not
molested,

AN EVENTFUL VOYAGE.
Sourvy Killed Most of the Crew of the
German Bark Olga.

ScurVy hilleu Most of the Crew of the
German Bark Olga.
Philadelphia, Sept. 27.-The Ger
man bark Olga arrived at the Della
ware breakwater tonight for orders
from Samarang, Java, laden with sugar.
She brought to a close a voyage of
strange fatalities, having only few Of
the original officers on board, Captain
Dreyer, her commander, and five 9th.
ers having died of that dread disease,
scurvy, which soSoften breaks out on
board vessels from the tar East. The
Olga sailed from Sourabaya April 3.
When about two months out from port,
the disease first made its appearance,
and one by one the men were taken
i'll, until the ships company was re-
duced to four men able to be about.
Captain Dreyer was among the first to
be stricken. He lasted only a few
days, suffering great agony. Then the
mate took charge, and he too, was
stricken down, leaving in charge of the
vessel men who had little knowledge
of navigation. When st. Michaels was
reached, a new captain was taken
aboard and the fateful voyage was con.
tinued.
The Olga is now waiting orders, and
will probably come to this port to dis.
charge her cargo.

says: A train bearing 100000
ounces of silver bullion from Phila.
delphia is soon to mark new era in
the federal governments method OF
transporting the precious metals be-
tween the mints. 1t has been known
for some time that such great ship

appearance of Assistant Secretary Van
derlip, of the treasury department, in
Chicago was for the purpose Of making
the definite arrangements. Mr.. Van
derlip was in consultation with West
EN- road officials, and the shipment is
to be made on a special fast train
guarded by federal soldiers and detec

freight, and not express, will be the
method of shipment.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co.. Inc,
Board OF Trade Brokers, III 70 IA Chamber OF


There has been of late, the world
over, little shading of the early
claims as to wheat supplies. The
latest is the reduction by the Washing
ton authorities in their estimate of the
1898 crop-585. 900, 900 bushels, in
stead of the COZ, 900, 900 bushels in Au-
gust. This years is no longer "the
biggest crop on record" high-sound-
ing phrase which so often plays such
havoc with prices and stands SO we'll in
lieu of all arguments. There was
bigger crop in 1891, The official Drop
ping of the figures under the even 60O,.
600, 900 bushels figure will count for
something. A round total like that is
more appalling for some reason, in a
discussion than the more precise one,
which may be only little under it.
Perhaps the government figures are not
high enough, and likely as not the acre
age has been underestimated, but that
makes no particular difference. If that
is true this year, 1t has also been true
in other seasons and need not upset the
soGisAdOb4Ou OE6I JuS ldCJ Ju3L bDlS
years American wheat crop Is not "a
record breaker" Private statisticians
have been reducing their early wheat
estimates, which is also con6rmatory
OF the claim that there has been a
Shading Of crop figures" all around.
1t has not been going on alone on this
continent. Europe is now disputing as
to whether Russia has good or bad
yield, having dropped the early claim
as to vast one. France alone has
about fulfilled its early promises. In
reference to supplies from every source,
the trade is now talking conservatively
rather than in the extravagant terms
Of June and July. Argentine ship.
ments have stopped absolutely, after
contributing total of less than 49,.
100000 bushels. Russia Is shipping a
third as much each week as q year ago,
and, according to Liverpool is cancel
ing early September contracts. These
look like bull statements and will nat
urally suggest all those other signifi-
cant facts which are of the other sort
and which ought to be presented if any
fair argument were 10 be attempted.
