Alaska has resulted disastrously to the
principal cities of that territory in the

BRUTAL ACTS OF GERMAN OFFICERS.

BRUTAL ACTS OF GERMAN OFFICERS.
Emperor William has ordered that a
thorough investigation be made into the
case of Naval Ensign Hussner, who
killed an artilleryman named Hartmann
with his sword at Essen for not salut-
ing him properly, according to Huss-
ner's version of the affair. The matter
continues to attract much attention
throughout the country. Hussner now
claims that Hartmann struck him be-
fore the fatal attack, but all the eye
witnesses of the killing contradict his
statement. Hartmann was buried at
Essen. The papers print an account of
another military incident at the Mono
pol Hotel, Essen, in which an officer
sharply accosted a one-year volunteer
because the latter saluted him imper-
fectly. The officer used insulting
epithets, whereupon several guests OF
the hotel interfered. Another volunteer
who was present then went to the as
sistance of the officer, who drew his
saber and wounded several civilians.
The next day the local government or
dered the hotel to be closed, the officer
was placed temporarily on the retired
list and an investigation against four Of
the civilians was ordered.
