KUROPATKIN'S PROGRESS.
WORK OF GERMAN NATIVES.
Women Cut to Pieces and Parts OF
Bodies Nailed to Buildings.

Letters from German Southwest
Africa have arrived at Berlin, giving
details OF the ghastly treatment of
German settlers, 1l3 Of whom were
killed outright or tortured to death
in the district Of Okahadja alone.
Women outraged and dismembered
and with pieces Of their bodies nailed
to the doors Of houses, and boys mutt
lated and left to die slowly, were fire.
uuent spectacles. The extraordinary
columns on coming in sight OF a farm
house would see the heads Of its form
er occupants fastened to the roof.
These sights appear to have excited
the rage of the soldiers. The letters
express longiogs for revenge and a de-
termination, as one writer says, TO
kill everything black" That causes
some papers to urge the government
to telegraph instructions to Colonel
Leutwein, the governor Of German
Southwest Africa, that be order the
soldiers to restrain themselves and
conduct the War in a civilized manner.
Colonel Leutwein himself comes in for
criticism, as it is alleged that he left
insufficient numbers Of troops in the
exposed districts and was misled by
the temper of the natives, having fire.
ouently had at his own table chiefs
who are now in rebellion and who are
wearing decorations and swords OF
honor bestowed on them by the gov
ernment in behalf Of the emperor.
The Tageblatt intimates that Colonel
LeutWein will be recalled.

Will Not Be Shielded,

A special from Washington to the
Atlanta Journal says the special COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
charges made by Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow against
members Of congress in connection
with the postal scandals will not be a
whiteWashing committee: after all.
A member Of the committee declared
Wednesday that dozen OF more con-
gressmen would be shown up guilty OF
the charge Of using illegal influence
to secure excessive postoffce clerk
hire allowance and rental from George
B. Reavers. It is known, in spite Of
the secret sessions Of the committee,
that the famous report charging Isl
congressman with completely in the
postal scandals has been sifted care
fully, and only "a cases were found
where members were in any way con-
nected with the excessive clerk hire
allowances. OF these 81 cases only
eight were recommended by Demo-
Gratis, remainder having been accom-
plished through the influence OF Re-
publican congressman. The total sum
lost by the government in this exces-
sive allowance by Beavers is $l7, 1000.
Some of these cases where Republi-
cans were guilty Of collusion with Bea-
Yers are said to be extremely scandal.
Gus. and the committee will be COM
PEELED to report verdict Of guilty ac-
cording to the evidence in the hands
of the committee. Only one of two
of the Democratic members are likely
to be refused certificates Of character
by the committee.

been circulated here and the sigma
lures Of a great many Of the most re-

Hanvey, who is a physician of ability,
shot his wife in the presence OF his
hfteen-yearS-old daughter several
years ago. Then he was living in
Atlanta. He was tried and convicted
Of murder and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for life. Since that time be
has been in the camp at Pitts, Ga,
where he has been one Of the best be-
haved prisoners. The petition for
pardon is based on the alleged pro-

committed, his good behavior while

crime
