GERMANY AND BRAZIL.
Secretary Roots Speech on Monroe
Doctrine May Lead to Diplo-
matte Inquiries.

NEW YORK, April 3o.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says
Secretary Roots speech relative to the
Monroe doctrine is likely to be productive
of some diplomatic inquiries at the state
department.
Herr Won Holleben, German ambassa.
dor, is In New York, and in his absence
the under officials of the embassy are dis
inclined to talk for publication about the
secretary's remarks.
1t Is emphatically asserted at the en-
bassy, however, that there is no intention
on the part of Germany to forcibly enter
the Western hemisphere. By the act OF
its representatives at The Hague the Ger
man government recognized the Monroe
doctrine, and II does not propose. accord
ing to the embassy officials. to violate it.
Germany would prefer to keep her sub
jects at home" said one of the attaches.
This is impossible however, and many
have emigrated to South America and to
Asia Minor. where they are developing the
country. 1t has been frequently reported
that German colonization in South Amer.
lea was dangerous to the United States.
but you may be sure that Germany has no
hostile Intentions against this country and
that the emigration of Germans to South
America is simply in pursuance of n peace
full business policy"
1t is said that there are nearly million
Germans in the southern part of Brazil.
A private letter received from an Ameri-
can source, near where the German colo
nsts are established. declares there is no
truth In the report recently published that
trouble was brewing between the Germans
and the natives.
Those close to Secretary Root say that 1t
is hardly likely that Germany. in tho pres
ent undeveloped state of her navy, would
like crisis to be precipitated at this time.
The secretary declined last night to dis
cuss his speech, and he refused to be seen
tonight.
The navy department has been paying
attention to the colonization of Southern
Brazil by German subjects, and 1t is un-
derstood Rear Admiral r. p. Bradford,
chief OF the bureau of equipment, has con-
sidered the sdvisabiity of recommending
to this government to enter into negotia-
tons with Brazil to establish a coaling
station at Santa Clarina.

NEW YORK. April 30-At the Hercules
Athletic club tonight Bob FitZsimmons

feat which other and bigger men found

wonderful hitting powers have not for

display the fact.
The bout was booked to go twenty-five
rounds Fitzsimmons was cheered lust

rang Dunkhorst assumed crouching

light left to the face and Fitzsirrmons
closed the round with left and right to
the body
Dunkhorst opened the second round
with left TO the face and Bob hooked
his left to the jaw and ducked Eds re-
turn. Fitzsimmons took another jab on
the mouth. but only smiled and ripped
right and left to the stomach Two
more lefts TO the stomach, followed
by right, made the giant wobble. Fitz-
simmons measured him coolly and then
hooked his left flush TO the mark and
Dunkhorst went TO the floor with A

SENATOR HANNES VIEWS.
Is CONFIDENT OF VICTORY IN THE
PRESENT CAMPAIGN.
Over-Conhdence-H Does Not See
Where Mckinley Can Lose state,
With Possibly Kentucky Excepted

CLEVELAND, o., April 30.-The Leader
received from its Washington correspon-
dent the first statement from Senator
Hanna, who is chairman of the Republi-
can committee. concerning the outlook
for the coming Republican campaign,
from a Republican standpoint:
''As a result of careful study Of the sit
uation / feel perfectly safe in making
the prediction at this time that McKin-
ley will be reelected. There Is no way
of figuring how the Republicans can lose
In the coming contest, II they put their
shoulders to the wheel and are not i'm
bued with spirit OF over-confidence in
the successes Of late. The price OF the
victory will be much harder, and con-
slant work from the time the campaign
opens to election day. The Republicans
should make the same kind OF a fight
they did In 1896. There should be no ces-
sation In their endeavor to elect candi-
dates, and their application and atten-
ton to the details OF the campaign must
be steady and unceasing. They should
go into the contest on the supposition
that hard work Is absolutely essential to
victory.
"The spirit Of the Republicans this year
- OF most gratifying kind. At the Ohio
state convention held In Columbus last
week. this spirit was manifested I'm
plain and unmistakable manner. The del
egates even then were preparing for the
great political battle which is soon TO
begin and It was patent that they viii go
into II with great energy.
Senator Fairbanks. who has Just re-
turned from the Indiana convention, in
forms me that the Republicans OF his
state possess the same Inspiration.
Is true of Republicans in every state, and
all reports which have been received
along this line are to the same effect.
Evidence is plentiful that the Republican
party all over the country realizes fully
the necessity OF entering the campaign
with earnestncss and determination to
win a victory.
I'm going over the list OF states that
cast their electoral votes for Mckinley
four years ngo. / don't see any which
will not do the same this year. unless It
be Kentucky. That state / am placing
In the doubtful column, although we GER
tninly propose making every effort to
carry II. ] regard Maryland, which the
Democrats are claiming already, as reas-
ably certain to remain In the Republican
column. Besides holding our own in
practically all the states that we car
ried IN 1895 we have reason to believe
that the Republicans Will carry Kansas
South Dakota and Washington, which
went for Bryan four years ago, while our
chances are excellent am Informed by
Senators Shoup and Carter, OF winning
Idnho and Montana, the states they rep
resent In the senate. Altogether I am
pleased with the outlook. which could not
be any more encouraging than 1t Is"

MANY OUTRAGES IN CHINA.
CONSUL FOWLER BRIEFLY RE-
PORTS ON THEM.
The Local officials Encourage the
Anti-Foreign Sentiment, and One
Who Attempts TO Do His Duty I'm
the Matter Is Promptly Removed.

WASHINGTON, April So-Consul Fow
Ter has included in his annual report pub
lished by the bureau of foreign commerce
of the state department, a short chapter
devoted to the missionary troubles in
Shantung and Northern China. He says:
''Since Christmas there has been nothing
but trouble Riots, murder and acts Of the
most dabolical nature have been COM
mitted upon the native adherents of the
missionaries. The situation grew 81 bad
that the Germans sent inland a strong
military force, burning down one or two
villages and taking back with them sew
eral of the leaders Of the villages as host
ages for future peace.
ION several occasions Americans and
Germans escaped by diplomacy and pluck.
The indemnity for these outrages has Just
been paid, and now the whole western part
of the province is in n ferment and much
care will be necessary to pass the winter
without the loss of foreign life.
Several causes for this change car be
found The floods and famine naturally
raises dfsturbers in all lands. The gov
ernor. who so successfully kept the peace,
was removed and the present incumbent is
known to be opposed to foreigners and
things foreign, and when the governor is
hostile one can count on local officials be-
Ing the same.
There was one noble exception. The
official at Ichafu did all in his power at

city. While suppressing open riot and an
archy (native children were being burnt
alive, he caused the death OF some of the
cutthroats by ordering his soldiers to stop
the tnmult, and for this ne was CASH
Tered"
Ihe consul says that the American papu-
lation in the provinces has increased from
165 to $50 In one year, most of whom are
connected with the American missions
Much trouble and Inconvenience, the con-
sui says, would be saved IL the various
mission boards supplied their missionaries
with passports especially in Port Arthur
and Russian territory
