The German commander in
Southwest Africa reports that
more negro tribes have revolted.
Evidently the situation there is far
from satisfactory. The insurrec-
ton of the blacks has now been in
progress for nearly a year, and it
is still seemingly far from being
ended. The German force is small
and the country of large extent,
while there are no railroads and
few settlements. The cost of
Seeping q force in the field is CON-
siderable. and Germany will have
pretty bill of expenses to pay be-
fore the trouble is ended. There
always has been strong opposition
to the kaiser's colonization schemes
in Germany. and this Southwest
African business will greatly in
GREASE it.-Pittsburg Post
