GERMANY OUTOF OUR WAY
Gracefully Proves Her Frierd-
ship and Confidence in Our
Control of the Philippines.

Washington, d. c., March /.
10 carry out the presidents
promise relative to the protection
OF German residents and property
in the Philippines a cable dispatch
has been sent Admiral Dewey and
General Otis instructing the m on
that point.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 2S.-
The German government has set
at rest effectually the rumors of
purpose on its part, directly or
indirectly, to embarlass the United
States in the Philippine islands
and has given a signal manifesta~
ton of its desire to promote the
most cordial relations between
Germany and the United States,
by ordering the withdrawal of all
vessels of its navy from Philips
pine waters and placing the lives
and property of It's subjects under
the protection of the United
States government. The action
taken is here regarded as a stroke
OF diplomacy by which will be
removed all possibility of clash
between German and American
interests in and about Manila. and
notice to ali the world, and
especially to any Americans who
entertained any suspicious of
sinister designs by Germany, of
the wish and purpose of the Ger
man empire to cultivate the friend
ship of the United States. BY 1t
Germany a. once places the pro-
lection Of all her large interests
in the islands almost in our hands.
The German government fol-
lowed this announcement to the
state department of purpose to
order its vessels away from the
Philippines with formal appli-
cation to the United States gov,
ernment to undertake the pros
lection of all the Germans in the
Philippines, not only in person
but in property. This was re-
gardsd as signal manifestation
of confidence that the administers
ton felt could not be resisted and
as practically formal notice that
tho Germans have no ulterior
purpose in the Philippines and
rather than be subjected to
suspicion on that score had taken
the course of turning over the
care of the welfare of their elti-
zens to the United States govern
ment. The president very prompt
ly accepted the trust, and there
will be no German ships either at
Manila or lloiIo to disturb the
relations between the two coun-
tries by forming the basis of sem
sational and false rumors.

ANOTHER Tragedy FOR

Special to Greenville News.


Columbia, S. c., Feb. 2S.
Blease & Blease are in no hurry
to ask for bail for Crawford and
the other constables involved in
the shooting of the Stuarts. The
constables are drawing their pay
right along. Mr.. Blease says
he may associate other counsel
with him.
Mr.. Stuart is not getting along
as well as desired. His face is
paining him very much. There
is some fear of blood poisoning
or paralysis. He is unable to
talk, but tonight was able to take
his first nourishment, glass of
milk.
A good deal of excitement was
caused tonight by the shooting of
Alexander Cartledge, a recently
commissioned dispensary consta-
BILE. This affair, coming so closes
ly after the recent dispensary
tragedy, is causing Il great sensa
ton.
Young Meetze, who did the
shooting, is the son of w. b.
Meetze, a noted opponent of the
dispensary law, who de6ed B. r.
Tillman and his whole force of
consta bles 1T a State fair several
years ago and sold beer behind
two revolvers.
Mr. Meetzs gave hlmself ur
immediately and is now confieC
in the city Jail. He positively
refuses to make any statement il
regard to the matter. 1t Is saiG
that the trouble arose by Meetze
accusing Cartledge of being {
spy. This was Indignantly denied,
curses were P sssed and in the dis
pute Cartledge was shot. Nc
pistol was found on Cartledge,
nor in fact, any weapon except q
pair of brass knucks.
Cartledge gave an antl-mortsm
statement in which he denies hav-
ing accosted or having cursed
Meetze in any way. Meetze' S
father, while extremely reticent,
says that he has witnesses to the
fact who can prove that the
tragedy was through no fault of
his sons. Cartledge died at
o'clock. Cartledge only received
his commission as constable YES,

NOT AN UNNIxED Ev1L.-We are disposed
to claim for the high winds that accompanied
the recent heavy fall of snow, some credit
for having averted greater damage than It
wrought.
1t will easily be recalled that since the biz.
gard We have had three seasons of rain, two
of them warm and number ofclesr and very
warm days. Now had the two and one.half
feet of snow remained spread evenly over
the surface instead Of having been thrown
into drifts covering probably one-tenth Of
the surface, Is 1t not almost certain that dis
astrous foods would have resulted? Not only
was the melting surface reduced (the fields
were bare within forty eight hours) but the
immense drifts held the water until they
become almost solid ice Thus there yet
remains much snow In these drifts, that have
grown slowly smaller, while had they not
been formed, every vestige of that big snow
fall would have disappeared within . week
at most. The county has been put to great
cost in opening roads, yet our Commissioners
would have had many bridge to build, In
all probability had not the blizzard done ito
work 50 we'll.
