GERMANS HAVE TO
FIGHT BRISKLY
Defeat the HererOS at Several
Points, But at Heavy
Cost.

BERLIN, April 10. - Dispatches to
the Lokal Anzeiger from a correspond
ent in German Southwest Africa de-
scribe the encounter Of Maj. Won GIas-
enapps' column and a force of Hereros
at Okaturia on April 2, while the
German column was on the way to
Onaitu. The road traVerses dense
thickets. Early in the morning the
Hereros attempted to surround and cut
off the rear guard of Maj. Won Glas-
enapps' force, consisting Of Fischers
company, which was we'll armed and
partially mounted. The enemy opened
a vigorous fire, but was repulsed after
a fight lasting three and a half hours,
the rear guard having been reinforced
by Count Brockdorff's company and
First Lieutenant Manshoti's artillery.
The enemy was pursued for an hour,
but escaped, leaving 120 dead.
In the meantime the head Of the
column, under Lieber, had a sharp
fight, lasting an hour. The German
losses were four on-commissioned
officers and twenty-eig privates kill
ed, and Lieut.. Hildebrand, four nom
commissioned officers and eleven men
wounded.
The artillery action was brilliant.
The Germans suffered from a lack of
serviceable horses, having only TWEEN
ty-one horses capable of scouting. The
enemy withdrew in a northWesterIy
direction. Maj. Won Glasenapps began
a march on April 8 on Okaturai in
tending to make an attack. An official
account Of the engagement with the
Hereros says ninety-two of the enc
my's dead were counted.
Col. Leutwein, governor Of German
Southwest Africa, announces that the
German main force left Okahandja on
April for Otposafu. The North Ger
man Gazette surmises that decisive
fighting will soon be announced OF
josafu is seventeen miles east of Okla
handja. The enemy has a strong DO
sitiOn at Onganjira.

COCHRAN ATTACKS
PENSION ORDER
Sways House With Oratory and
Three Republicans Vote
on His Side.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 9.-The
recent executive order of the president
relating to age as evidence of pension
able disability today furnished the text
for an impassioned appeal by w.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, to the
house to uphold the dignity Of that
body by refusing to submit to what
he alleged to be the usurpation of the
legislative authority of congress by
the executive. In anticipation of Mr..
Ccckran's speech almost every seat on
the floor was occupied and the galleries
were filled to overlooking. Mr.. Cock
ran held his audience throughout and
his remarks frequently were punctured
with loud applause from both sides of
the chamber.
The president and secretary Of the
interior found warm supporters in
Messrs. DalzeH, Grosvenor, Gibson,
Calderhead, Lacey and Hepburn. The
first named maintained that it made
no difference how many millions of dol
lars were involved in the presidents
order because the secretary of the in
terror distributed the money voted by
congress pursuant to the rules of evil
dence established by the pension bu-
reau. Mr.. Grosvenor believed that the
country and the old soldiers would ap-
prove the order and that the money
necessary for putting 1t into effect
would be included in the forthcoming
deficiency bill.
The debate occurred on a resolution
introduced by Mr.. Cochran directing
the committee on the judiciary to in
vestigate the recent pension order. 1t
had been reported from the committee
on rules with a recommendation that
1t lie on the table and this was adopted
by the narrow majority Of three votes,
the speaker having his vote recorded
in the affirmative. Three Republicans,
Messrs. Cushman (Wash.), Littlefield
(Me.) and Mccall (Gass0, voted with
the Democrats against tabling the res
olution.
What Cochran said.
Mr.. Cockran's remarks were the first
he has delivered since his entry into
the ty-eighth congress as the sue
cessor to George B. Mcclellan. He said
the resolution was offered solely to
vindicate the dignity Of the house. He
did not question the propriety of pay
ing liberal pensions to federal SOL
diers, but he declared that the basis of
these payments should be laws of con-
gress "and not self-constituted au-
thority.'
If" he said, the presidents order is
recognized by the house, what frag-
ment of power is there left to the
house?" By one stroke Of the pen the
president had appropriated $4,000, 900
and it was a matter with which con-
gress must deal if it has any regard for
its own powers or if it be animated by
a shadow of loyalty for the constitu-
ton which created it. He asserted that

Man From Panama Arrives to
Visit His Uncle Here.
SAYS Panama Is n Filthy Pauper
Country, But There Will be
Boom Soon.
WILL HELP BUILD THE CANAL
Mr.. Charles Brizzaliro, a native G

Mr.. Charles Brizzaliro, . native OF
the United States, but IN Italian who
cannot sneak our language, is now a
guest of his uncle, Mr.. l.. A. Lago-
marsino, the hotel man. He has come
TO Paducah to learn the English Ian
guage, and may be found at all hours
Of the day sitting about the lobby por-
ing industriously over huge volumns
in various languages, learning to read
English.
He also takes the daily papers and
spends hours translating them.
Mr.. Brizzaliro was born in Canton,
Miss, but went TO Italy when two
years old, and was reared and oducat-
ed there, where his people all live.
He is civil engineer and chemist,
aud has boen engaged 20 work on the
Panama canal. He has just arrived
from Panama and expects 20 spend
about six months here learning to talk
English and then TO return 90 the
isthmus country ard begin work.
He knows a little English now, and
be II said TO his credit, II is all good
English.
1t is some times humorous to hear
him call down his American friends
for errors in grammar, little a. he
knows OF the language. What he
knows he knows well
Mr.. Brizzaliro says that Panama is
one Of the dirtiest and most unAttact-
i've countries he ever visited. There is
very little money there and the ma
iivos live largely on what they fleece
out Of tourists, except those who live
on what grows everywhere. Tie
country is very unhealthy, and the
people are foul and lazy. Il is expect
ed. however. that when the United
States government pays over the canal
money there will be plenty anoAt, and
plenty until the canal is complete.
Mr. Brzzaliro, ~ stated already,
has accepted place with the engi-
neering corps and found il necessary
TO learn the English language, which
he l. now doing here. He is a fluent
French scholar already. and says he
ends English worry easy 70 learn
He brought 90 his uncle, Mr. LAgo-
mArsino. a. a present one Of the finest
PanamA hats ever seen here. IL cost
fifteen dollars in Panama but in the
United States would retail for $40 or
tlOC. Mr LaRamarsino has sent IL
away to have il blocked to ft him.
