NO CONTRABAkD ON BOARD
Owner of Detained Ships Discusses
the Course of the English
A~dmirnlty. .

HAMBURG, Jan. S.-Herr Adoiph Woer-
mann, one of the owners of the German yes
sells seized by the British, was interviewed
today by a representative of the Associated
Press. He said:
9TH last one taken is the Herzog. 1t
has on board the Dutch, Belgian and Ger
man ambulance corps, All. these were
travelling bona fde under the Red Cross. 1t
is certainly the first time such a corps has
been detained by a hostile government.
Their services were offered to the British,
but were refused. We cannot help consid-
ering the action of the British as chiefly
intended to prevent the German East
African line from continuing its service on
account of the competition we have made
against the English lines. We consider the
seizures entirely illegal and against every
thing that until now has been considered the
law of nations. The actions Of Great Britain
are simply those of brutal force and what
the consequences will be We cannot say. So
far in both the case of the Bundesrath and
that of the General the only representa-
lions made by Great Britain consist in the
allegation that they are suspected of carry
ing contraband.' The directors of the line
have not the least doubt that they have no
contraband on board. Every precaution was
taken, going so far as to even discharge at
Port Said and Der-Es-Saalam articles of
war shipped on board our steamers previous
to the outbreak of the hostilities.
Regarding the passengers, many of them
are known to us as regular patrons Of the
line. 1t was known that others intended to
go to the government of the. Transvaal and,
while there might be some Adventures
anxious to profit by the prospects there.
there was not, so far as the directors could
ascertain, one passenger travelling to the
Transvaal to serve in its army.
Herr Woermann Is not only a large ship
owner, but one of the largest German in
vestors in the East African possessions. He
is a personal friend Of Emperor William and
is generally understood to be carrying out
imperial wishes in regard to African coloni-
cation and commerce..

"Closer and closer walked the soldiers to
the Boer trenches, until within 100 yards of
the nearest rifle pits. Then, lying down,
they returned the fire, but there was little
or nothing to aim at"
BY ISIS the Irish brigade had driven the
Beers to the north bank of the Tugela.
They found that the enemy had planted the
ground with barbed wire. Even in the bed
of the river barbed wire was laid down.
Into the water went the Dublin Inniskillins,
Borderers and Connaughts, but it was
found at the ford that the Beers had damned
the river and there was ten feet OF water
where ordinarily it was but kneedeep.
They strove to find the crossings and many
a fine fellow with his weight OF ammunition
and accountrements was drowned. 1t was
n desperate and serious situation. The at
tack on the right was making no progress.
But there were furious and angry Irishmen
who had resolved to get across somehow.
BY dint of scrambling from rock to rock and
swimming a number won the other side. Yet
most Of them found that they had but passed
across a winding spruit. The Tugela still
lay in front and all the while the murder
GUS nre or cannon ana Mauser crashed ana
comrades fell weltering in their blood.
SpOuting Hail of Lead and Iron.
"In the meanwhile Colonel Long had lost
his guns and Generals Butler and Clery, with
their staffs and escorts, had ridden to the
scene. The s~pouting hail of lead and iron
snapped and spluttered and the dust pulled
more than ever. Lord ROBBERS son, with
Captains Schofeld and Congrove, volun-
teered to ride out and endeavor to save the
two field batteries in the open. Readily other
volunteers were found. Corporals from the
lines, men and drivers of ammunition
wagons, taking spare teams, galloped out
and men and horses again began falling on
every side. Young Roberts horse was blown
up with a she'll. Congrove was hit with a
bullet and his clothes were cut by other
missiles. Schofeld alone escaped untouched.
Across that, valley of death quickly the
surviving animals we're rounded up and the
guns hooked and, dragged away. Again and
again that day attempts were made to haul
off the remaining guns, but the Boer fire
was incessant and whitening. At 4 the
battle was over. General Butler abandoned
the guns and retreated.' .,..

Hogg Fails to Appear.
Ex-Governor Hogg OF Texas, who was de-
pended upon as one of the shining lights of
the banquet, did not appear. All trains
from the south were watched by the recep-
ton committees and there was considerable
confusion about the absence of the Texas
statesman until late in the evening, when
suspense was ended by a telegram. 1t was
addressed to w. j. Bryan and Ed p. Smith,
president of the Jacksonian club. 1t read
as follows:
Il regret my enforced absence. God bless
you. j. S. HOGG."
The dispatch was sent from ct. Louis.
Governor Hogg had by letter to President
Smith signiied his intention of being pres
ent and no explanation has been offered as
to his absence further than the telegram
quoted in the foregoing.

DID BRYAN SELL 0UTa

In an interview in the Peoria
Journal Tuesday evening Q. M King
man of Delavan alleges that William
]. Bryan insisted upon the l6 to l
plank in the democratic national
platform at Kansas City because of
promise of $3.50 900 cash from silver
mine owners.
Mr.. Kingman's story is that a
young woman of his acquaintance
who is an intimate friend of the
Bryan family, visited at the Bryan
home in Lincoln this year for a
month, leaving there the morning
the democratic convention met in
Kansas City; that this young lady,
whom he says is member of one of
the best known families in Jackson
vile, Ill told him later that while
she was at the Bryan home, the week
before the convention, a delegation
of five men from Colorado, represent
ing the silver int, rests of thatsection
called upon Mr.. Bryan and made
him distinct business proposition
that they told him that he would
support the silver plank IN the plat
form, insist upon having The ratio OF
"l6 to /" inserted and refuse to run
for the presidency on the democratic
ticket or refuse to accept any nom
ination of any other than free sill
yer platform they would pay him
personally the sum of Sl50,oO0. The
young woman asserts, says Mr. King
man, that the offer was accepted by
Mr.. Bryan, and that his stand before
the national convention was based
upon his financial agreement witt
the Colorado silver men.
How much or how little truth there
il in this story remains to be set n
Mr. Kingman Gays she told it in tn,
most straightforwa' d and innocen'
manner, and knowing her and he,
family connections be- does not doub
for a single instant the truth of wha
she said.

TO NEGRO VOTERS.

Senator Tilman, of South Carolina,
is Bryan's right hand man, and if
Bryan is elected whatever Tilman
commands will be done. The colored
man is therefore destined to suffer
from Democratic victory more than
he can realize. Here is Tilmsn's
policy in regard to negroes, which
will be put into effect in the event of
Bryan's election. 1t was outlined in
speech by the Senator at Pittsfield,
Illinois, on Tuesday, October 4, and
runs:
"The negroes should not be allowed
to vote, they do not know enough to
vote, and they should not be allowed
in the country"
Fore-warned is fore-armed and the
negro should vote to keep himself
and his family out of condition that
is worse than slavery.

THE HO S SHOW.
Prof. Gleason Tames Horse and
Wins a Wager.

There was another large crowd at
the Gleason horse show last evening
and almost all the seats were oc-
cupied.
There was good show and some
hard animals were handled and fun
for the audience was had,
The DeLong horse was handled
during the evening. The owner bad
put up a wager that the professor
could not handle the animal within
80 minutes and Mr., Gleason said be
would drive the horse in single har-
ness within that time, Mr., Gleason
won the wager, so the committee APP
pointed for the occasion decided.
The animal was heavy and had a
very obstinate disposition and made
some terrible efforts to have its own
way, but the professor won within
the time allotted and had minutes
to the good when he called time on
his own performance,
During one of the tantrums that
the animal had at the beginning Of
the performance, he made lunge
into the crowd at the northeast cor.
ner and fell in heap, He had out.
leaped the calculations Of the pro.
fessor by few feet. The horse, al
it fell, struck Mrs. Alexander Mar
tin on the hip and she was quite
badly shaken up, DR., Hinton wa'
at hand and gave the needed med
zeal attention,
There will be another and the las
performance of the show Thursday
evening, when there will be three
horses handled. They are said TO b,
the worst that have been brought tc
the city for the professor. The show
will be Hospital benefit for the
Woman's club and there will ne
doubt be a large crowd present
The net proceeds will go to the hos
pital fund.
Prof. Gleason has been attached
by the Burnside Lumber Company
on contract and this will detain hin
in the city for couple of days, as ht
will fight the case. The suit is fol
the erection of the seats that fell the
first evening of the performance.
There will be no show this WED

REPAIRS ORDERED.
Extensive Improvements to be
Made on Iowa Central.

Master Mechanic Geo. d. Brooke
and Superintendent of Cars @. II.
Meade came down from MARSHALL
town yesterday to make an exami-
nation of conditions existing in the
Oskaloosa yards with reference to
train and engine accommodations.
There will be erected as result OF
the visit of the gentlemen, extern
SONS to the entrances of the round
house stalls to accommodate the
length of the seventy and eighty
class engines. The stalls as built are
too short for these large engines and
the tender is out of doors when the
engine is resting in the round house.
There will be an extension built to
the doors that will permit OF the
closing of the stalls to the weather.
The round house at M4rshalltown
has been treated in similar way
and the work is now nearing COM
pletion. Az soon as the carpenters
have finished work at Marshalltown
they will come to this city to do the
work on the Oskaloosa house.
