EMPEROR WILLIAM.
How He Is Occupying His Time at
Windsor.

WINDSOR, Nov. 23.-Emperor Will
lam, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of
Connaught and Prince Christian of
Schleswig- -Holstein shot in the great
park this morning near Cumberland
Lodge, where they 1unched. The two
young German Princes visited the
houses of Parliament in London in the
forenoon.
There was a strict family dinner at
the castle this evening, but the Queen
was not present, owing to the death of
the Princess of Leiningen. For the
same reason the military band will not
play at the castle during the remainder
of the imperial visit.
The Secretary of State for the Col
onies, Joseph Chamberlain, arrived at
the castle on a flying visit during the
day, which, in view of his recent visit
to Hatzfeldt House, the residence of
the Premier, is causing much specula-
ton. Mr.. Chamberlain Immediately
after his arrival interviewed Count Won
Hatzfeldt- Wildenburg, the German
ambassador, subsequently comforting
with Count Won Buelow, the German
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Emperor William, on his return from
shooting, summoned Count Won Hatz-
field to a long audience.
Mr. Chamberlain returned to London
without seeing the Queen, who was out
driving.
Mr. Chamberlain also had an inter-
view with Emperor William.

search of the houses.
An officer, describing the scene, said :.
1.-The negro soldiers were pouring out
of. every house, dragging sleepy, fright
ened Filipino warriors by the collar
and kicking them to the street. It was
a race to see which company would cor
raj the most Filpinos. The women and
children, believing the stories told that
the negro soldiers were cannibals,
shrieked frightfully. After all the ri
f1es had been secured, the Filipinos
were surprised by being told to go to
their homes and attend to work.
LITTLE HOPE FOR SAVING THE
CHARLESTON.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-The fol-
lowing cablegram was received at. the
Navy Department to-day from the COM
mander of the United States naval sta
tion at Cavite, P. l.:
.'Cavite, Nov. 23.-Charleston wrecked

18th, under water from stem to smoke
stack Three unsuccessful attempts to

pect Culgoa with later news. Cl.lcers

The Culgoa is the supply ship which
sailed from Hongkong several days age
with wreckers and divers to examine
the Charleston. She has undoubtedly
arrived at the scene of the wreck by
this time. The officers at the Navy
Department look upon this report from
Captain Leutze as dismissing the last
hope of saving the Charleston.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S
SAILING ORDERS.
No Vessel in His Command to Go
to South Africa,
Unless Such Instructions Are Later Issued
by the Navy Department.
Regarded at Washington as a Mat
ter Of National Policy to at Pre-
sent Refrain From Sending
Warships to Either the Cape,
Delagoa Bay OF Durham.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-It is said
at the Navy Department that the dis
inclination of the department to order
Rear Admiral Schley to South Africa
has no connection whatever with the
personality of that officer. Whoever
commanded the South Atlantic squad
ron at this juncture would, it is said,
receive similar instructions, for it is re-
garded as a matter of national policy
to refrain from sending warships to
either the Cape, or Delagoa Bay or Dur
ban.
1t is felt to be unwise for the United
States to initiate the sending of war
ships to South Africa now. There can
be little doubt that such action on our
part would instantly be followed by the
naval Powers of the Continent, and
French Russian and German fleets
would follow each other there. to the
complication of the situation. 1t is not
to be learned that this attitude of our
Government has been assumed as the
result of any representations from the
British Government.
The instructions to Rear Admiral
Schley are as follows:
November 20, 1899.
Sir: When the United States steamer
Chicago is in all respects ready for sea,
proceed with that vessel by the shortest
practicable route to the waters of your
command, touching en- route for coal at
Port CaStrieS, st. Lucia, or at Rio
Janeiro. and at such other ports as may
be necessary. The department desires
you to be at Buenos Ayres with the
least practicable delay, in order that
you may inspect the vessels of your
command.
"It is also desired that special atten-
ton shall be given to the repairs under
way on the Wilmington. Submit to
the department without delay a sched-
ule of the ports you will visit en- route
and the possible date of your arrival
and departure. Besides the Chicago.
the Wilmington and Montgomery are
mington is now at Buenos Ayres and
the Montgomery is at Montevideo.
You will await further orders before
any vessel of your command visits any
African ports. Very respectfully.
JOHN D. LONG, Secretary.
ITO the commander-in-chief United
States naval force, South Atlantic sta
tion."
The itinerary of the southwark cruise
of the Chicago is thus set out by Ad
miral Schley, in answer to instructions
from the Navy Department:

Der 25th; arrive at San Lucia December
I'd. Leave San Lucia December 5th

GERMAN COLONIAL SCANDAL.
The sTageblatt's" Exposure of
CAMERON Not Exaggerated.

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-Investigation
shows that the facts in the CAMERON
scandal made public by the ''Tageblatt"
November 18th, when that paper said
an apparently corrupt deal had taken
place by which the chief of the Colonial
Department gave away $4,000 square
kilcmeters of CAMERON soil, estimated
to be worth about 40,000,000 marks, to
"Tageblatt's' story.
The promoters, it appears, first
formed a company and soon sold out
to a new company formed at Brussels.
and made up of Belgians, Englishmen
and several Americans, for 1S,500,OOO
francs. The concession, it further ap-
pears, really cost them nothing. The
first company was named in the con-
cession Sudekameron. Prince Hohen-
lohe-Oehringen was one of the original
concessioners. For this reason the En-
peror forced his resignation as Chief
Court Chamberlain.
The facts in the most recent grant of
a concession are even worse To a COM
pany called the Nordwest- -kamerun ter
ritory was conceded larger than Ba-
Cameroons, is extremely fertile, and in
cludes valuable forests worth a thou
sand times the obligations the company
assumes toward the empire. The en-
tire financial obligation is only hun
dred thousand marks contribution to
the proposed Tehed Lake expedition,
while there are other undertakings to
spend 100000 marks within ten years
in improvements of the tracts, to con-
struct roads, steamer lines, plantations
and factories, all redounding to the
benefit of the company. The concession
was granted for fifty years, which is to
company, within twelve years, con-
structs railroad coastwise.
AT the expiration of the second term
the immense tract becomes the COM
pany's property absolutely. The COM
pany also agrees to pay the Govern
ment a small share of it's profits There
is no provision that the company or
a majority of it's shareholders must be
Germans.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns from the Colonial Office
in explanation of the above that the
present chief, Dr. Won Buchka, adopted
the British policy Of getting big mon
eyed syndicates to take hold of the
colonies on the prospect of large profits.
1t is understood that the whole affair
will be thoroughly ventilated in the
Reichstag, and that DR.. Won Buchkag
days as an official are probably num-
bered.
