Regarding TraHsyaaf Concessions.
Berlin. June Is. The report of the
British 1ransvaal concessions com
mttee is severely condemned here by
the whole press as being high handed
and denying private property rights III
war; against the practice ana theory OF
all civilized countries.
The correspondent learns from re-
liable source that the German govern
ment has instructed the German en-
lassy in London to protest against the
gross wrong meditated against large
number of German stockholders In the
NethcrlandS-Soutl African railroad
whenever it appears certain or even
likely that the British government will
adopt the committees report.
Germany takes the ground that the
German stockholders have an undoubt-
cd right TO full compensation from
Great Britain for their shares. Ger
many recalls her own proceeding after
the war Of 1901. when she purchased
Al Il high price the French Eastern rail
road in AlSaccl Lorraine, although the
road aided France in every possible
manner during the war.
The society formed here for the pro-
lection of German stockholders of the
'rranSyaal railroad says that steps have
already been taken to compel Great
Britain to do the stockholders justice.

STATEMENT BY SKATER.

Frauds mt San Francisco.

Frauds mt san Francisco.
San Francisco June 10, Speaking OF
the alleged extensive frauds In dispos-
ing of military supplies supposed 10
have been stolen, General Shafter says'
81 am of the opinion that the goods
found by the police were purchased
from the soldiers passing In and out OF
this port More than 10000 men have
passed through this port during the
war. If one man in every ten of these
soldiers sold to dealers a pair of shoes,
GOO pairs would thus be placed in the
hands OF outsiders. The same rule ap-
plies to shirts and blankets.
Notwithstanding the fact that those
having government property wrongly
in their possession can be prosecuted
on n charge of felony and given SEN
tence of from one to five years coniine'
ment, there are plenty of men willing
| to take the chance. The goods are
| first class, and can be purchased from
| the soldiers at a iidiculously low figure
'Sodicrs can be prevented from sell
ing this stuff. In disposing of 1t the
soldier leaves himself short. The DIN
! Ger who issues to him inquiries as to the
quantity of goods he has in his posses
sion. If the officer thinks he Is ampl,
supplied. he refuses to issue the goods
| the soldier asks for. In this manner
| the enlisted man is prevented from
| drawing more than he needs.
I'm my opinion the police and fed
eral authorities are exposing a system
Of petty thieving. Owing to the larg'
number Of men these petty dealers
have had opportunity to deal with
their thicvery has grown to larger pro
portions than it otherwise would have.
