GERMAN s0LDlYRs' aAILANTRY.
Fought the Chinese Against Odds 81
-Four to One.

Fought the Chinese Against Odds q
-Four to One.
Berlin, April 80.-The latest China
specials to arrive here show that the
German troops behaved with the great
est gallantry during the engagements
with the forces under Gen. Liu, storm
ing the strongest positions of the
enemy even after dark, and in spite Of
the huge rocks rolled down upon them.
The Chinse artillery. although firing
splendid guns. made In 1898 at the
arsenal in Han-Ying, aimed badly. The
Germans demolished the Notifications
near the gates of the great wall. They
suffered intensely from the heat. The
French received instructions from
Paris while marching toward the prov
ince Of Shan-Si, but they held Ku-
Kwan. which they have since left, de-
stroying the field telegraph and thus
cutting of German communications.
The German press is loud in praise
Of the bravery of the Germans, who
fought against odds of four to one
The opinion is generally expressed
that Gen. Liu's conduct was due either
to the duplicity of the Chinese court
or to state Of anarchy which augurs
Ill for the future.

PRESIDENT Kruger seems to think that the
next Presidential election in this country will in
some way be favorably turned to account by the
Beers. His remarks on the subject are vague
and not interesting, otherwise than as showing
his belief that the war will last that long. 1t
seems hardly credible that the Beers can fight
nearly four years longer, and we rather fancy
the aged leader is oversanguine.

saw 1t can say aught except that 1t
was race from the flag until His EN-

in the good time of 2:07A. The track
record was not broken. but 1t is safe
to say that had 1t been necessary His
Eminence would have been equal to
the occasion. and could no doubt have
taken fraction from the record Of
2:06A made by Lieutenant Gibson over
the course last year.
1t was magnificent race throughout
but His Eminence was never headed

winner by full length, with San

coll, Amur fourth. length away, with
Alard Scheck, the favorite. last by
three lengths.

THE BETTER WAY.

TIME result of the Cuban commissioners
L visit to Washington should serve another
public end than that of promoting satisfactory
settlement between the two countries, though the
latter is the most important of all. l, should
point out Enthusiastically to some men in both
countries the existence of a better way in public
business than that which they have tried to pur-
sue. Some Americans have been shrieking that
if we did not instantly, absolutely and uncon-
ditionaly withdraw from Cuba, leaving the
island to survive or perish according to its own
devices, we should brand ourselves with infamv,
and have added, with cocksure shrillness, that
the Cubans should, would and could be content
ell with nothing less Some Cubans, too, have
seemed to think that the establishment of any
conditions precedent to American evacuation of
the island meant nothing short of spoliation and
oppression.
But what change came DER the spirit of
these dreams as soon as an authoritative commits
sion of representative Cubans got to Washington!
1t was quickly perceived by these visitors that
the United States was not pirate power. hut
one seeking peace, justice and prosperity; that
its intentions concerning Cuba involved simply
the loyal fuflment of the pledges and purposes
which announced at the time of its Intervention,
three years ago, and that the so-called "Platt
amendments" were in accord not only with the
good faith of this country, but also with the
highest interests of Cuba. 1t surely should he
equally obvious to all Americans that the Cubans
are no less practical than sentimental, and that
they are wise enough to prefer practical liberty
with the BLESSINGS of liberty" to a theoretical
liberty without such blessings. On the whole,
it may be that the need of such lesson was
greater in the United States than in Cuba. We
have observe not nearly as much obstreperous-
ness in the latter as among the factional foes of
the government in the former.
Information is better than prejudice. That is
the lesson of this incident. 1t is an old lesson,
but it apparently has to be learned anew at

Of Iowa, the special agent In charge Of
the beet sugar investigation Of the de-

That is the better way to settle the issue, and
they will not regret that they have taken it.
