RENEWING TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Italy Says Her Political Influence
Should Be Recognized.
BY CABLE.

SPECIAL BY CABLE.
London. April "a correspondent at
Rome, referring to the meeting at Venice
between the German Imperial Chancellor,
Count Won Buelow, and the Italian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Signor Prinetti, says:
They gave the last touches to the re-
newal of the Dreibund. The most impor-
tant modification of the old treaty, so far
as Italy is concerned, relates to the Medit-
erranean, Italy claiming that. II she re-
mains in the Triple Alliance, her political
influence at Tripoli must be recognized, and
her allies must bind themselves to help her
in the event of an attempt of any other
Power to seize it, such an attempt being
considered a casus belli.
Although Tripoli is thus recognized to. be
in the Italian sphere, Italy has no intention
of occupying it. The public is wholly
against colonial expansion, after the expert
ences in Eritrea. and the Government would
be Immediately overthrown If 1t embarked
on such an enterprise"

GERMAN MILITARY TACTICS.
Emperor William Decides That
Troops Should Use Cover.

SPECIAL BY CABLE.
Berlin. April 5.-It is apparent that the
Boer experience with modern rifles will
have a permanent influence upon German
military tactics. Emperor William and high
military authorities have been studying
closely all authentic accounts of Boer bat
ties. which describe whole companies rising
and rushing forward to new firing positions.
The Emperor instituted the practice OF
only eight or ten men rising at once and
advancing, and has decided that all topo-
graphical features of the field must be
tackers.
As illustrating the Importance which the
authorities here attach to the military les
sons of the Boer War;, it may be mentioned
that returning officers in all cases get APP

their observations are thoroughly collated

D. P. Saunders gave the Alaskan full account of his troubles, at the Grand ho- tel. last night.
 The charge on which Saunders was de- talned was for theft of furs from cabin In Circle City. His explanation Is that The furs were captured and traded for by himself and p1ftner in the nelghbOrhood of Circle. and that the two men dissolved partnership. Saunders to go out as he wished. A paper was made cut 10 show what the bargain had been. This paper Saunders has in his possession. The partner got properties In place of furs. Ar ter Saunders had started he came to the conclusion that he had got the worst Of the bargaia. Someone advised him that the only way of stopping Saunders was on crimlnal charge, which would also be likely to compel restitution, as Saunders would not want to be brought back. The police in Dawson were advised by tele- graph from Eagle of the man wanted, and of the charge against him, and lt was add ed that li he were stopped the American officials would come to take back the pris- oner. This has not been done, and Saund' CTS has been declared free. Saunders Is very indignant over the unenvlable notor- iety given him by his detention, and says he will return In due season to make lt warm for someone.
