This class is composed of shiftless negroes
from Jamaica, Hayti and San Domingo.
General Wood foresaw the embarrassment

his province an order returning the would

While the present condition of agricul-

END OF CUGHLAN INCIDENT
Captain of Baltimore is Reprimanded
and Germany is Satisfied with
Course Taken.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The case OF
Captain Coghlan may be considered as
finally closed. The German ambassador, DR..
Won Holleben, called at the White House
this afternoon and had conference on the
subject with the president of such salts
factory nature that the matter was regarded
as settled. The president explained the
course the Navy department had taken in
udnin{steri 3R a. renr;na'sd1ol Captain Gogh-
Ian. 1t was also pointed ont that the officers
explanation of the incident stated that his
utterances had been much exaggerated On
the part of the ambassador there was every
disposition to treat the matter as lightly as
possible and not to permit it to become a
source of friction.
During the day the Navy department ad-
ministered to Captain Coghlan the repri-
mand which had been determined upon yes
terday, as stated in these dispatches. This
was in the form of letter from Secretary
Long to the officer. 1t is stated at the de-
partment that the letter will not be made
public before the officer has received It, and
probably not then.
The department made public a brief state
ment of the contents of Captain Coghlan's
letter in answer to Secretary Longs request
for an acknowledgment of responsibility OF
utterances ascribed to him, but the contents
We're more fully stated in yesterdays Asso-
Ciated Press dispatches. The statement is
as follows:
Captain Coghlan has replied to the de-
partment, stating that the newspapers have
not reported him with substantial accuracy;
also, that he intended no disrespect or con-
tempt to the German flag and is extremely
sorry that any such Interpretation was put
on his remarks"

PLENTY OF BILLS IN TREASURY
Small Ones Can BE Secured by Send
ing in Those of Larger De-
nomination.

NEW YORK, April 26.-United States
Treasurer Ellis II. Roberts, who is on a
business trip to this city, in talking last
night Of the scarcity of bills of small de-
nominations throughout the country, said
This lack of small bills is due in some
parts of the country to the fact that the
bankers don't take the trouble to send in
their bills of large denominations and get
small! ones in exchange. This is the case
nearly everywhere except in the larger cities
Of the east and in the northwestern states.
"In the northwest there has been such a
wave of prosperity during the last two
years that the bankers and merchants have
had no occasion to send their money east
as they did in previous years They are
rich enough to keep their money at home.
There was a lack Of small bills in this
city up to a few months ago but now the
bankers, merchants and business men of
every kind have all the small bills they
want. The revenue stamps on checks
have probably had something to do with
bringing into more general Use the smaller
bills.
THE reason we cannot issue the smaller
bills as fast as the bankers want them is
because we are restricted by law. The
law allows us to issue only $34c 600 900 in
United States notes, and the silver GER
tlhcates are restricted by the number Of
standard dollars held in the treasury We
are now printing or small bills and have
a big supply on hand, but cannot issue
them because of the restrictions have
mentioned. So the only recourse for the
banks that want small bills is to send in
large bills in exchange for them. Although
there is a shortage of small bills in circu-
lation the treasury was never richer in
funds than 1t is at the present time"

GERMANS ARE MiSJUDGED
Amcricanixcd TcutOns Oppose Ex-
punsiOn nnd Resent Charge of
Hostility of the FatherIand

ST. LOUIS, April 26-The German news
paper publishers of Missouri held meeting
here today for the purpose of defining their
perialism and Militarism." DR.. Emil Pre-
torus editor of the Westliche Post and nes-
tor Of the German press of America, pre-
sided, and after a lengthy discussion the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Systematic and uninterrupted efforts have
been made during the last twelve months 10
destroy by misrepresentation the good feel
ing and the old historical friendship between
the United States and Germany. These
malicious intentions have created among the
German American population the greatest
Indignation. We therefore regard 1t our duty
as loyal citizens to denounce these con-
tnued falsehoods, which endanger the
friendship of the two countries.
The friendship between the United States
ana Germany Is as old as the history of the
great American republic and has remained
uninterrupted. As the government Of Fred
erick the Great was the first European
power which acknowledged the young re-
public OF the United States Germany was the
first to acknowledge the supremacy of the
United States in the Philippines This fact
alone proves plainly that Germany has no
unfrendly intentions and no desire to op-
pose us in the orient.
True to the constitution and traditions of
the republic We take a firm stand against
militarism and imperialism, knowing that
the German American citizens stand almost
unanimously against this new course, which
would endanger the welfare and the future
of the republic.

BERLIN, April 26.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram. 1.-The morn
ing papers, owing to receipt of fresh tele-
grams from London giving further details
of the feeling in America, are almost unaE-
imous in insisting that Coghlan be most
adequately punished. They claim it is only
quibbling TO say he spoke at private club.
His subsequent proceedings prove he has no
objection to publicity. The song about the
kaiser excites far more indignation than the
revelation of Dewey's difficulties with
Diedrichs. The government, however, will
take no official action, although expecting
Coghlan to receive punishment commensu-
rate with the offense One newspaper calls
his utterances criminal.

exist between the three naval commanders

fishes extracts today from the reports of the
commander Of the German war ship Fake
up to March %, in which Captain SchOen-
fielder says:
THE widest rumors are current concern
ing the relations between the officers and
crew of the Fake and the Americans and
English. The reports are due to some of
our countrymen who do not tire of creating
ill-feeling between the officers and men of
the three countries by promoting such
rumors. AS matter of fact the relations
between the different commanders and Off
GERS are thoroughly courteous aud Of an ac-
commodating character
I'm spite OF the arduous nature of his
guard duty, Captain Sturdee attended the
funeral of (German) sailor, Wiehl, with a

that the German consulate was not evacu-

building and requested him to cease firing
over Apia until the Germans were in safety.
Admiral Kautz told the officer that owing
to my representations he would not continue
firing over Apia and the following day he
sent his flag lieutenant to me and expressed
regret at the occurrence.
