MILITARY TRIAL
OF SERGT. MARTEN
Convicted, on Slight Evidence, tf
Killing His Captain
DISCIPLINE OR JUSTICE
German Press Aroused over Case III
Takes Up prisoners Cause
with Great spirit.

New York, Aug. SO.-Both German
and English journals display great IN
terest in the military trial of Sergeant
Marten. says the London correspondent
Of the Tribune.
While It differs from the Dreyfus case
In dramatic interest, and under plot, II
raises the same questions involved In
the proceedings at Rennes, namely,
whether military discipline ought to be
converted into fetch and exalted
above the abstract justice, and whether
the court martial can be allowed to
force conviction on inadequate
grounds. When Capt Krosigik was
found murdered in barracks, after max
ing the lives Of men under him miser,,
able, Marten was alternately acquitted
and convicted when the evidence mere-
" indicated that he had failed to ae-
count for six minutes OF the day IN
question, that he expressed no regret
when informed OF the murder, ana that
he had been seen near the gun rack
some time before the shooting.
The German press has taken up the
prisoners case with great spirit, ana
insists upon having either commuta-
ton of the sentence, or q re-hearing by
the supreme court.

When Joseph Ramsey Jr., the newly
elected president of the Wabash rail-
road, was superintendent Of the Pitts
burg Southern, a small road In the coal
district Joseph Walton. a millionaire
coal miner Of Pittsburg, heard Of his
ability. and decided that Ramsey would
be lust the man TO take charge OF a
road which he was then projecting.

where Ramsey made his headquarters
in order % offer him the position. At
the office he was told that Mr.. Ramsey
was out somewhere In the yards. so
"ihe coal king" went out 60 look for
him. The first man he came across was
a grimy mechanic who was at work
underneath an engine.

REPORT ON MALARIA.
Cases In Massachusetts, Traced 10
Italian Laborers.

Boston, Aug. 30.-In the annual re-
port Of the state board Of health Secy
3. W. Abbott says that during the past
ten years every case OF malaria investi-
gated In Massachusetts, has been traced
to the presence in the neighborhood Of
Italian laborers.
Italy. It Is well known, Is cursed by
malaria, SAYS the report. In previous
report on the sanitary condition OF the
Sudbury and Concord rivers made to
the general court In May the board
stated plainly that there was nothing
in the condition Of the meadows near
those rivers to generate malaria. But
within the last eleven years 1871 cases
have been reported In the distance Of
ten miles along the river from Saxon
vile, in population Of about 800 Few
cases, the board says, were reported
below this point previous 10 1895, and
not many until 1898. since which time
II has prevailed In Concord and Biller-
lea
In both cases, the board says:
"The evidence tends to show that II
was introduced into these towns by the
laborers engaged In digging up the
streets when constructing the water
works and sewerage systems. Upon
the completion OF the works In Billler,
lea the number OF cases rapidly dimln-
ish, while in Concord. the effect Of the
work continued through last year, and
we must wait through another season
20 learn whether II also diminishes

Europe, tells OF remarkable impress
sion which. he AYERS, Is general
throughout Germany
Germany" he said, is watching
with interest the development of the
troubles In South Africa and Central
America. The interest is not because
England Is engaged in war In Africa,
nor because the South American re-
publics are having probably little
more than their usual amount Of revo-
lutionary excitement The real reason,
when found It, startled me. The Ger
mans believed that all these troubles
have been fomented by America for the
express purpose OF obtaining possession
OF both disputed territories, They say
that America brought about the Span
lsh war simply to get Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and that this
country will not be satisfied without
holdings In Africa and South America.
They look upon Cuba as actually part
OF the United States, and do not believe
this country will ever give freedom to
that island"
