MERE VERBAL QuIBBLE
GERMANS ON cRANBoRNEs REPLY
Berlin Insists That PauncefOte's In
PREVENTION Proposition Was an
IndenendentN Initia tive.

Berlin, Feb. 12.-The statement of Lord
Cranborne, under secretary of the Brit
1sh foreign Office, in the house of COM
mons yesterday, caused amazement here,
since the German officials assume that
Lord Pauncefote's proposal of April IA,
1898, to the ambassadors Of the other
countries could not have been made with
out instructions from the home govern
ment The German officials point out that
Henry Norman's query in the house of
commons was shaped purposely to give it
the appearance of covering fully the
North German Gazette's statement with
out doing so, as the British government
has never claimed the British ministers
generally did anything but that one am
bassador, Lord Pauncefote, made. pro-
posal. Lord Cranborne's answer. there
fore, is treated here as being a mere
verbal bubble.
Moreover, the impression made on the
ambassadors of the other powers, at the
conference held at Washington April IA,
1898, was not that Lord Pauncefote was
merely sounding them to determine how
an Intervention proposal, expected later
from Austria, would be received. Lord
aPauncefote's proposal was understood as
an Independent initiative

cab1ed from American official sources, that
the United States never received such a
proposition from Great Britain as de-
scribed from here, the informant Of the
Associated Press added:
OF course not. We have never charged
that the matter reached the United States
government, but said the proposition was
baked by Germany before going SO fars

words, the United States is contending for
the open door in Manchuria and it
recognizes in this new treaty valuable
support in its contention.

AN INDIAN SUICIDE
Observation-Disclosures Died for
Love of Moonbeam.
SHE WAS A CREE AND HE A SIOUX
His Frozen Body Found With the
Side Of His Head Shot

Special to The Journal. Il.
Hayre; Mont, Feb. 12.-Red Blanket and
several Cree Indians, who have been on a
pilgrimage to the Bear Paw mountains,
returned to-day with the news of the
tragic suicide Of Afraid Of the Wolf.
a full-blood Sioux Indian, who killed HIM
self by blowing out his brains with a shot
gun. -et go
Indian tradition records but few in
stances Of self destruction. and the sui
cide will go into history as one, of the
few cases Of it's kind on record.
Chided by the members of his tribe, and
rejected by Moonbeam, a princess of the
much despised Cree Indian nation, the
ardent lover left his tribe camp. When
found. his body was frozen aud nearby
were the carcasses OF his two ponies
which he killed before taking his own life
that he might ride on their spirits to the
happy hunting grounds.
The body was brought into camp and for
more than a week the Indians have been
in a great state of excitement. According
to the custom Of western red men they in
flfct cruel and barbarous punishment upon
their bodies during the lamentation over
their dead. For a week these practices
have been in progress at the various
Cree camps in the vicinity of Havre.
The prominence of the dead chief by
birth and that of his squaw, who is a.
granddaughter of Sitting Bull, together
with the sensational and unusual charac-
ter Of his taking off, has prolonged the
lamentation until the Crees all through
the Bear Paw mountains are very much
exercised over the affair and the medicine
men who have been consulted predict the
death of Bear-Afraid- Of the Wolf as
meaning that the Great Father will soon
give the Cree Indians land Of their own.
The dead chief was a descendant of
White Bear, the famous Sioux after whom
White Bear lake near st. Paul was named.
Ten years ago Bear met his wife, who
is "a descendant of Sitting Bull. They
were married in the Judith mountains in
June, 1890, with much pomp. Drifting for
several years from place to place in
northern Montana, Bear-Afra1d- of the
Wolf made love to many other Indian
matdens and this caused an enlargement
which led to his separation from his
squaw. There was but one true love for
him, and that was the fair Moonbeam of
band of wandering Crees that Uncle Sam
had refused to succor and who had BEEN
ordered by an officer from Fort Assini-
boine to return to this Canadian possess
sions from whence they came.
But Moonbeam had another lovef-one
of her own tribesmen. Bear was repulsed
and rode out of camp week ago with his
two ponies. : The searching party three
days later found his frozen body, near
those of his ponies, with the side Of his
head torn off by charge of shot.

AN ANGL0.JAP ALLIANCE
PROTECTION OF CHINA AND KOREA
White Men and Brown to Stand To-
Eether Both in War and
Peace.

London, Feb. 12.-An important parlia-
mentary paper was issued last night CIV
Ing the terms Of an alliance between
Great Britain and Japan for the preserva-
ton OF China and Korea The paper
covers dispatch sent by Lord Lans-
downe, the secretary Of state for foreign
affairs, Jan. 80, to the British minister
at Toxic, Sir Claude M. Mcdonald, and
comprises signed copy of the agreement
In explanation the paper says the
agreemnt may be regarded as an out
come Of the events Of the past two
years. Throughout the boxer troubles
Great Britain and Japan had been In
and actuated by similar views Says Lord
LansdoWne:
We each desire that the integrity and i'm
portance Of the Chinese empire should be pre-
served and that there should be no disturb
ance Of the territorial status quo, either In
China OF the adjoining regions,
The agreement says: --.. ....
The signatories recognize that it will be
admissible for either Of them to take such
measures as may be indispensable in order
to safeguard their interests in China and
Korea if those be threatened either by the
aggressive action of any other power or by
disturbances arising in China or Korea neces-
stating tnterventioqe If either Great Britain
or Japan In defense"of their respective inter-
ests as above described, should become in
volved IN war with another power, the
other contracting party will maintain strict
neutrality and use its efforts to prevent other
powers from Joining in the hostilities against
It's ally, If, In the above event, any other
power or, powers should join in hostilities
against that ally, the other contracting party
Will come to its assistance and will conduct
war in common and make peace in mutual
agreement.
The liberal afternoon newspapers view
the alliance with mixed feelings and the
conservative organs generally applaud it,
The Pail Mall Gazette expresses modified
enthusiasm and concludes:
Perhaps we shall find, when the policy OF
Great Britain Is definitely known, that the
United States is formally or informally a
party to the league OF peace in the far east
At any rate, no effort should be spared to
secure its adhesion. -.
The Westminster Gazette thinks the
alliance can be fairly termed offensive
and defensive, and says that it therefore
has dangerously wide extension, and
concludes that it looks like rather
hasty answer to European hostility

IRISH WIT IN BATTLE
A Prisoner Taken and to Be

geant, lin a good many battles of the
civil war. In most eases the regimental
or state flag carried with the colors or the
stars and stripes was solid blue. The
Irish regiments, from some OF the states
at least, carried green flags instead CT
blue, and it always made my heart swell
with pride to see that the green flags in
the charging line never Jagged behind.
Nearly every Irish regiment in the Union
army made good record, and I have al
ways heen sorry that SO many Of the an
ecdotes Of every day experience have not
found permanent place In the war lit

For example, there was an Irishman Of
the Thirty sixth Indiana who while on the
skirmish line al Dallas saw good chance
to capture a rebel. He availed himself
of the opportunity, captured his man, and
was passing to the rear with his prisoner
when one Of the boys called out to him:
Pat, let me have that man. 1 will take
him over to General Gross. our brigade
commander Never mind. me boy re-
piled Pat. I left a million back over the
hill there. Go yourself and fetch one of
the lads over and take him to General
Cross
"a member of the Chicago Irish regi-
gment, which at the time was in the FIJI
teenth corps, became very much excited
because he couldn't force cartridge into
his musket, fouled by continuous firing.
He tried and tried again, and at last
called out to his colonel explaining why
he could not load 1t was in the midst
of furious engagement, and the colonel
advised him to try again. Pat tried again,
failed, and, then facing the enemy came
to an order arms. and stood like statue.
The colonel asked him what he meant,
and Pat replied: 'Shure, I'm just waitin'
for Johnny to come up till 1 can knock
his brains out with me musket. I am
Waitin for him. and in the midst of the
hottest possible fire he waited until the
regiment charged forward"

In which an Irishman named Casey, u

self at Bull Run. After everybody had
been withdrawn from our line Casey re-
NAMED loading and firing, unconscious of
the fact that the regiment had retired
and that he alone was holding the ad-
yanced line. Finally he was surrounded,
and rebel grappled with him, ordering
him to surrender. Casey caught his man,
