American Made Boots and Shoes So
Regarded in Germany,

Washington, June 7.-Consul General
Richard Guenther, at Frankfort. has
submitted to the state department
some interesting statistics upon Ger
many's importation of American goods
in 1899.
The figures demonstrate, says the
consul. that while the United States
furnishes a large percentage of articles
lard, petroleum, cottonseed OIL oleo-
tition exists, other articles do not fig
ure as prominently as there is reason
to expect on account of their superior
ity and comparatively low price.
Germany, he said, by reason of her
denser population, her accumulated
wealth and her geenral prosperity Of
ferS splendid opportunities for many
goods of American manufacture. For
instance, the consul states, American
made bots and shoes are generally ad-
mitted to be the best and cheapest in
the world, and yet in the wealthy city
of Frankfort he cannot find suitable
boots and shoes for himself and fam
lily, and is obliged to send to the United
States for them. Germany last year
imported American boots and shoes to
the value of $1O1. 1886, as against $29, 515
in 1897 This increase, says Consul
General Guenther, while gratifying in
a way, is not at all what it should be,
and only indicates what could be ac-
complished if our boot and shoe manu-
facturers would give more attention
to this profitable German field for

the contrary, 1 have not single ac-

Dental possibility at the meeting of the

says:
L have heard rumors of the forma-

for this new party. So far as not vot-

This action of the. colored people
seeking a new party is no doubt in
spired by the recent talk about re-
pealing the Fifteenth amendment. The
United States will never repeal the Fiji

among the colored people against the

the purpose of telling the true story of
struggle in the Transvaal.
In discussing the matter Abraham
Fischer, chairman of the delegation,
said:

TOTAL WRECKS.
Terrible Sufferings of Col March's
Men in the Philippines.

-
Manila, June IA dispatch from
Candon, dated June 4, says Major P. G.
Marchs men of the Thirty-third regi-
ment returned to Candon that day by
steamer from APART. A majority of
the men were ready for the hospital
They are thin and weak, having trav-
eled $50 miles in the mountains, during
which they suffered greatly from
hunger. OF the so horses which started
with the battalion, 10 survived The
remainder died on the march or fell
into canyons.
The battalion practically collapsed at
Pal, 80 miles from Muguegarao, as the
result of fevers and exhaustion.
Elghty-SeVen of the men were conveyed
from Pial to Muguegarao in bull carts
and those falling on the way We're car
ried in filters by the Igorottis with the
column. The officers accompanying
Major March were Captains Henry L.
Jenkinson and Edward Davis, Lieuten-
ants Carroll Powers and Frank L. Case
and DR.. John 0. Greenwalt, assistant
surgeon. They say it is all guess work
as to whether Aguinaldo was shot
Before the Americans struck Sagat
the 1nSurgent chief divided his forces
into parties of ten, following different
trails. The officer shot was perhaps
Aguinaldo's secretary or adjutant. The
report among the natives of the region
is that Aguinaldo was wounded in the
shoulder. Papers show that nearly all
the presidents installed by the Ameri-
cans in General Young's territory are
treacherous, and have been making
regular reports to Aguinaldo as to the
disposition and movements of the Am
erican troops, and they have been col
lecting and forwarding taxes. The cap
tured papers also prove the disloyalty
of the native telegraph operators whom
the Americans retained on the Cayagan
Valley line. When Tirona surrendered
the Filipino forces in THAI section these
operators professed loyalty and took
the oath of allegiance. But it is now
shown that they had been sending
Aguinaldo copies of important tele-
grams exchanged between the Ameri-
can officials. Letters were also found
relating to large contributions for
warded to Aguinaldo from Spanish and
other foreign business men.
