BERLIN, June Ut has just become
known that the Woermann line steamer,
Marc Woermann, on May took eighty
men and two officers, English troops,
aboard at Whale Bay after obtaining the
German governments permission by wire.
The troops were landed at Cape Town.
This is construed here as indicating the
friendship of the German government
for England.

APPEALS FOR PROTECTION.
w. A. Meyer States Attempts Were
Made to Kill Him.

A man who gave his name as w. A.
Meyer. and who formerly lived at No. 1121
18th street northwest. called at police head
quarters this morning and said he wanted
police protection. He alleged that a num-
Der of attempts had been made to poison
him, and he had concluded to go to the
home of his sister in Brooklyn. The fumes
in his room, he said. were so bad at times
that he almost died.
Finding he could get no relief at home, he
said he went down to a hotel last night to
get away from the people who are after
him. Even there he found he was in danger
Of death. He leaned out the window and
smoked several cigars. and then went to
the hotel Office and remained until morn
ing.
In conversation with the detectives he
said he called on a spiritualist for advice,
and was told to read light literature, take
exercise in the fresh air and drink beer
He said he was not going to drink beer be-
cause he was afraid he would be put in
condition to render 1t easy for his enemies
to have him killed. Being assured by the
detectives that he would be protected he
left headquarters with a friend saving he
would go to Brooklyn on the first train

the friendship of the English during the

was no reason why the British or any

Fflipinos incapable of self-Govern-
Mr.. Lodge then reviewed at length our
former acquisitions of territory, showing
that in all of them there was the same
absence of any reference to the consent of
the governed.
He argued that the Filipinos were in
capable of self-government and quoted Will
liam Jennings Bryan and prominent demo-
cratic senators in support of his asser-
ton. He believed there was every reason
for the United States to lead the Filpinos
along the path Of freedom until they were
capable at least Of municipal self-govern-
ment. With elaborate and scholarly detail
Mr.. Lodge described the peoples who in
habited the Philippines and showed how ut
terly incapable they are OF conforming to
our western ideas Of civilization. He then
sketched carefully and interestingly the
developments which led up to the begin
States Stat forces and the FTifpinos, laying par
ticular stress upon Admiral Dewey's re-
laions with Aguinaldo. He pointed out
that when Dewey had won his victory and
the city of Manila lay at. the mercy OF his
guns, the Filipino tnsurraetion against the
authority of Spain was dead for all prac-
teal purposes. Aguinalds and other Fill
pino leaders had sought more congenial
forces were widely scattered. At Dewey's
instance Aguinaido was brought back to
Luzon, but even he had difficulty in kind
ing dBdiH the name OF reDelilOu. MI. LOQge
points out that Aguinaldo's success in in
citing the Tagals again to instruction
against Spain was made possible only by
Dewey's victory in Manila bay.
MIR. Lodge quoted 9ffici3l documents and
correspondence in AyppoR Of his conten-
tion that Dewey enVered~int no political
entansiements with Aguinaldo. Within a
week after Aguinaldo's arrival at Cavite
the administration cabled Admiral Dewey
that there must be no political alliances of
any sort with the Fflipinos.
Mr.. Lodge denounced as absolutely fcti-
tious all statements that Admiral Dewey
saluted the Filipino flag or received Agui-
naldo with military honors. or in any way
recognized the so-called Filipino govern
ment.

tilted TO a trial by Jury. His application
for Il writ of habsas corpus is denied how
ever. on the ground that the island was in
state of war before the ratification of the
treaty when the murder was committed
and that. therefore. the military court had
jurisdiction.
Assistant United States District Attorney
Purdy argued against the application. He
maintained that in any event the Ccnstitu-
ton of the United States did not extend to
the island until the exchange of ratifica-
lions of the treaty Of peace by the two Gov
errmeuts, and. that while there was no
lighting between the date Of the signing Of
the treaty and its ratification. still the
island in state of war and therefore

In an oral order from the bench at the
conclusion of the argument Judge Lochren
sustained this view Of the case. He con-
si1cred the question raised very important.

After reviewing the facts in the case. the
court said that. according to tine decisions

"A military commission was without iuris-
diction to try civilian in United States

He considered Porto Rico territory Of the

Mr Foster is recognized one Of the
foremost authorities in this country on sub
tects Of diplomacy. To him is given the
credit for having arranged tho treaty OF
peace between Japan and China. which
brought 10 a close the war between the two
great nations of the Orient.
Mr.. Foster has followed the military op-
era,ions In South Africa, making a close
study Of them. and at the same time giving
keen scrutiny to affairs in Europe. To A
representative of The Republic Mr.. Foster
to-day said:
1T is much to be feared that England Is

alarmingly costly enterprise In her armed
contention with the Boers.

through the weight of numbers and superior
resources. England will win. but that will
by no means end the struggle. At the pres
ent rate progress IS not only slow. but every
days delay must increase the difficulties of
the situation from military point OF view.
and the same may be said with respect to
a solution by diplomacy
1T has been the history OF all such strus-
giles. and England has been no exception,
that the disturbances Of commercial rela-
tiOns and other questions, more or iees In
volved. very soor make nations restive.
There might be no desire TO Interfere on
general principles. but the influence OF
financial. Industrial and commercial inter
ests often compel Governments to act from
economic considerations.
AT one time when German vessels were
being seized or boarded In Portuguese wa
t-rs or on the high seas by England in reg
ular commercial intercourse. there was
much danger of a crisis. At such times
nations often go Off suddenly and. when
started. il is difficult, in fact impossible. to
return TO first conditions.

The transportation Of the largest army
England has ever had in u single theater
