Germany's Position In the Samoan Matter
The minister of foreign affairs, Baron
Won Buelow, has announced to the
reichstag that an agreement had been
arrived at with Great Britain with re-
gard to sending a commission to Samoa.
The Interpolation on Samoa was pre-
sented by DIR. Lehr, an extremist pan
German, and was replied to by the
minister of foreign affairs, Baron Won
Buelow. In the course of his remarks
the minister of foreign affairs, in part,
said: I'm the interest of the tran
quilllty of Samoan and in the interest
of calmer relations between the pow
ers, should they find it advantageous
if the act has become inadequate, it
could be replaced by a fresh arrange
ment, corresponding better with the
present situation. With this idea, /
said in the budget committee that we
were disposed to consent to clean
separation. As, however, the disad-
vantages of the situation were felt by
both the other powers equally with
ourselves, we have no occasion and no
need to make special proposals of our
own initiative. But so long as the
Samoan act exists it must be Loyalty
observed by all concerned"

Murderous Assault.

Three unknown men brutality as
saulted, robbed and left for dead, John
Haberstraugh, German who lives
alone in a small house four miles cast
of Bedford. The men called at his
home and asked for drink of water.
He went to the pump with dipper to
give them the water, when one man
seized him and and a second one struck
him in the face, knocked him down
and then kicked him into insensibility.
They then completely ransacked Hab-
erstraughs house, stole his horse and
carriage, and left. They secured $50
in money, but overlooked quite a sum
that Haberstraugh had secreted.

Wayne and Kent counties, which gave

EDUCATION IN PUERTO RICO
FUTURE OF THE ISLAND DE-
PENDS UPON THE SCHOOLS.
Compulsory School Law, But a Scare
ity of Teachers = American
Teachers Would Be Handicapped.

Washington, Jan. 22.-"If Puerto Rico
is to become a credit to the United
States" said Captain Augustus P.
Gardner, assistant adjutant general of
volunteers, in AN interesting report to
Assistant Secretary of War Meikeljohn
upon the educational and other affairs
of the island of Puerto Rico, 'and not
d continual thorn in her side, it is as
certain as the rising of the sun that the
work of reconstruction must be done by
men Of disinterested motives"
In considering, says Captain Gardner,
the various elements which go to make
up the social system of Puerto Rico,
the most worthy Of a detailed examina-
ton is the method of education. 1t is
in this branch that the fruits which it
is hoped may be gathered in the future
must all ripen.
What. purports to be a census of the
island is taken every ten years. But
the only one ever published, apparent
", was that of 1887. In this the popu-
lation was given at sos, 70S, of which
III, $3.50, or 16 per cent, could neither
e o write. A comparison of these
figures. with those of a so-called recti-
fcation of the census of 1883 reveals a
gross blunder somewhere, as, according
TO the returns for that year, 23S, 294, or
over lWIC6 dS many people as lOur
years later, could neither read nor
write.
FOr the city of Ponce there is an ex-
cellent n for the year 1897, well
compiled and to all appearances ac-
curate According to thai the city jul
risdiction covers a population of $4,000.
The percentage who could read and
write was % $4,000.
In the larger townships there is one
school TO about every 1000 inhabitants.
But education is laid on a great deal
thinner in many parts of the island,
schools entirely, Notwithstanding a
compulsory school attendance law.
The difficulty arises from the scarcity
of competent and reliable teachers. In
the nature of things, for the present,
but little progress can be made by Am
erican teachers sent to the island.
Their sphere of usefulness will not in
clude Puerto Rico until such time as a
knowledge of the English language has
begun to permeate all classes.
With regard to the religious question,
Captain Gardner says it does Got APP
pear that the inhabitants of the island
have ever taken their religion with any
degree of seriousness, probably owing
to the fact that the church is regarded
as one of the means by which Spain
undertook 10 maintain her sovereignty
the island and to provide for the
maintenance of such of her clergy as
not be supported at home.
Roman Catholicism has a better
in the island. in view of the
of the native mind, than any
other form of religion.

Of the party. Several days later the
troops stumbled painfully into the well
come gates of a fort, bearing with
them twenty-One of their number fro

Their duty. But he was in harness
again after a brief rest.
When the committee of Puerto Ric-
ans met General Henry in the palace
at San Juan, the members saw that
the race of their new governor bore
many scars. There was a bullet hole
through each cheek, the bridge of the
nose was broken, n the left eye SEEM
ed dull and colorless. To them it was
possibly a Disagreement. but to the
men who served with Henry in rs. each
scar spoke e~lOquently of a thrilling
episode in hat famous expedition
against h SiouX in the Big Horn and
Yellowstone country, when the troop
ers of the yellow stripes" taught the
hostiles a lasting lesson.
HOW HE LOST HIS EYE.

Henry was in charge of the Second

formed part Of General Crooks COM

troops were camping for breakfast in
a little raVine. the out DicketS rushed
back with the startling announcement
that h Sioux were coming in force.
There was barely time to sound boots
and saddles when the heights about

thousands, coming down from the ridge
