GERMANS GIVE THEE y
Renewed Denial of Help From Teutons
For Filipnos.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-The correspondent of
the Associated Press, after thorough
Investigation. ascertains that the report
that Germany is aiding the t'illpinos ana
furnishing them with war material, is
absolutely baseless.
Baron Won Buelow, Imperial Secretary
Of State for Foreign Affairs, personally
authorizes the statement that such re-
ports are justified by nothing Germany
has DONE is doing or is preparing to DO.
Legation Councillor Hamann, of the
Foreign Office, being empowered to
speak for the Government, supplemented
the above denial as follows:
'The only possible explanation of the
way in which such rumors have been ORR
ginated we find in a despatch received
this morning from Herr Kruger, our
Consul at Manila"
Herr Hamann then read this despatch
to the correspondent of the Associated
Press. The gist of it is that early last
November three unimpOrtant dealers sent
to Il Filipino newspaper statement that
they had always been satisfied with the
treatment received from the FilipinOs,
and hoped that the good relations would
continue. Despite the fact that the Ger
man colonies at Manila and Hong Kong
promptly issued declaration asserting
that these three Germans in no way rep
resented the views of the colonies, and
assuring the Americans of sympathy, the
incident was used as a handle to impute
anti-American sentiments to Germans in
the Philippines.
So far as the doings of the German
~ a..
Herr Hamann said positively that abso-
lutely nothing had occurred which could
be construed as hostility toward the
plans of the Americans or as connivance
with those of the Filipinos. Herr Ha-
mann concluded his statement to the As
sociated Press correspondent with the
remark:
II am amazed that such baseless lies,
though disproved again and again, should
still find credence."
The officials at the United States EN-
bassy feel sure that there is nothing
whatever in the rumors.

ALL RELATIONS SEVERED
ACTION OF THE N. c. UNIVERSITY ATH
LETlC ASSOCIATION;
Adopts a Resolution Declaring Al Athletic Re
ations Between Itself and University
of Virginia at an End.

Chapel Hill, n. c., Jan: 13.-(special9
~-All athletic relation between the Uni
versities of North Carolina and Virginia
are severed. The North Carolina Ath-
letic Association to-day adopted the fol
lowing report of the committee appoint
ed or the purpose:
under existing circumstances the Ath-
ietic Association of the University of
North Carolina sewers all athletic rela-
tions with the University of Virginia"
This action has been brought about by
the conduct of the latter at Richmond
Thanksgiving Day, and because they
have ignored all proposals for agreement
governing future athletic relation be-
tween the Universities.
The University of Georgia request for
next Thanksgiving foot ball game is un-
der consideration.

in the Constitution. l do, however, deny
the proposition that territory can be

tion of small tracts acquired for specific

tons and the guano islands under the
act of 1856. / think Hawaii comes un-
der the exception of a military and
commercial necessity"
After further discussing the constitu
tional points of the question, Mr.. Nc
Laurin said il, was idle to speak of Amer
icanizing a tropical country, 5000 miles
away. Our people would never consent
that the people of that far off island
should have voice in the affairs of this
country. However said he, Il be-
lieve the time is not far off when our
flag win float over every foot of North
American soil. but it must come natur-
ally and peacefully, by the consent of
the governed, not by the rude hand
of war;"
Government by force was despotism.
he said, and if this country was to
establish despotism it must be prepared
to maintain a great enormously expeD-
sive army and navy. 1t meant never
ending strife with the nations of the
world.
Mr.. McLaurin claimed that the COM
merce of the Philippines was insignif-
cant and he, therefore, doubted the
advantage of the islands to this coun-
try from financial view point. ITO be-
i1in bn sAxx-n
must abandon our republican institu-
tions, or be paralyzed by them. The
creation of offices, the extravagant ex
penditure of money by office-holders, ard
the actual corruption creeping into any
colonial system will sooner or later sap
the foundation of any Government
Discussing the inhabitants of the Phil
ippines, Mr.. McLaurin said:
''Of one thing am sure: the American
people will never consent for these in
ferior races to flood our land and add
another complication to the labor pro-
blem. To permit cheap, Asiatic labor
to come into competition with our in
telligent well-paid labor will be to de-
grade and lower our civilization.
If we embark in a colonial system it
means the Inauguration of Il despotic
power in Washington. 1t means large
standing army that will not only be used
to rule outlying territories with an iron
hand but that, sooner or later, will be
used at home to overawe and override
the popular will. An imperialistic De
mocracy like an atheistic religion, is an
impossible hybrid.

to Witnesses.

Washington, ID, c., Jan. 13.-( (Special.)
The attack naade- by General Eagan
upon General Miles has proved the SEN
sation of the day in Washington. That
an officer of the army should have so far
forgotten himself as to use such black
guardly language has astounded ever.
body; and that he should have gone this
long without being called TO account by
court martial or otherwise has added TO
the surprise. The action of the war
investigation commission in sending back
the testimony for revision is regarded as
n severe rebuke of the action of the
Comm;ssary General, and it is confident
ly expected that a court martial will fol-
low, despite the determination of the in
vestigation commission to protect its wit
ness from all harm.
This determination is generally taken
as gross misinterpretation of the mean
ing of the Presidents assurance that
witnesses will be, protected, as it is in
conceivable that an officer of the army
should be allowed to use such language,
no matter what the provocation, and go
lInpunished. If there is no court martial,
Congress will, in all probability, take a
hand in the army row, and have a full
investigation.
Senator Allen introduced a resolution
to that effect to-day, and in view of the
army scandals, which have disgusted
everybody. it is probable that Congress
will take hand. In the meantime,
everybody is endorsing the declaration of
Inspector General Breckenridge that
What the War Department needs is
more gentlemen" That is if Eagan is a
sample. and the feeling here is one of
general disgust that the army should,
through petty rows, be placed on plane
with the French army.

Men Could Not Eat.
Washington, Jan. 13.-The war investi-
CATION commission to-day took prompt
action on the sensational testimony sub
mitted to it yesterday by Commissary
General Lagan and sent the statement
Incorporating his testimony back to him,
with the privilege of re-submitting it if
he chooses to revise its language. Fur
ther than this the commission determ-
ined it could not and should not pro-

General Eagan proceeded as far as he
did, and it is explained to-day that the
vituperative nature of the testimony
was complete surprise to the commits
sion and that but for the rapidity with
which General Eagan read his long
statement and the absorbing vehemence
of its delivery he would have been
checked at the time.
The matter was taken up in executive
session by the commission yesterday
Immediately General Eagan had closed,
and Ex-Governor Woodbury., of Yer
mont, introduced motion substantially
like that made public to-day, and the

sion.
At the time of the creation of the
commission the President in instructing
the commission verbally assured the
members that all witnesses would be
immunes from punishmens for what they
might say before that body, but mem
bers of the commission say it never was
intended to indulge such language as
that given utterance to yesterday.

General Eagan

"Brigadier General G.. p. Eagan, Com
missary General, War Department.;
.Sir: We respectfully inform you
that after your testimony was read yes

unanimously passed:
Moved that the commission receive
General Eagan's testimony without com

held for consideration of the commits

Having now considered the questions
involved we have determined that in
many instances the vituperative Ian
gauge used by you was not such rs ought

they shall act only on the defensive.
