.HEREROS MAKE
WICKED FIGHT
In Battle Near OwilokOrOrO
Germans Lose Seven Of
GERS and Nineteen Men
WHITES FORCED BACK
Glazenapp, the Commandant,
Meets With an Unexpected
Force and Has to Retreat

BERLIN, March 19.-Colonel Lieut.
vein, the German Governor Of South
west Africa, reports severe fighting
there on March 13. The Germans were
forced to retreat with a loss of seven
officers and nineteen men killed and
five wounded.
Commandant Glazenapp, with a
number of his staff officers and thirty
six cavalrymen, advanced ahead Of
his main body and overlook the enc
my's vanguard, which had unexpect-
edly received reinforcements. Glaze
napp was forced to retire, losing seven
I officers and nineteen privates killed
and three officers and two privates
wounded.
The fight occurred on March 13. near
Owilokororo, with the Tetjo tribe or
Hereros, whom Glazcnapp was pur-
suing. The enemy's loss Is not known,
but twenty dead natives were seen.
Glazenapp's detachment had one
machine gun. He is now taking meas
ures to attack the HereroS' position
in force, and probably will ask for re-
Inducements from Major Estereff's
column.
Colonel Leutwein later cabled the
list of the dead. which included the
names of Captain Won Francis, Lieu
tenant Eggers and DR.. Velten, physi-
clan of Habicht Glazenapp himself
was slightly wounded
The news of the German reverse
made disappointing impression on
Berlin, since 1t involved the most Sc
we're losses the Germans have vet re-
ported, and because it was hoped that
the worst was over. In view of this
latest fight 1t is regarded as possible
that further reinforcements will be
sent to Southwest Africa.

WORK ON CANAL
TO BEGIN SOON
Walker Says Start Will Be
Made Shortly After the
Arrival of Commissioners

WASHINGTON, March 1a-In con-
Guiding his hearing before the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce to-day, Admiral Walker,
president of the Panama Canal Com
mission, stated that actual work on
the canal would be begun after the
commission had made a stay of few
weeks on the isthmus, for which ii was
to sail March 20.
Admiral Walker, in answer to a ques-
ton, said that a large number of in
spectors would be employed by the
commission. These inspectors would be
engineers and he did not want the law
to provide that they should be selected
through the Civil Service Commission.
Admiral" said Chairman Hep
burn, what you~ha said in dispar-
agement of the Civil Service Commits
sion has been very painful to some
members of the committee. Don't
you think it would be possible for you
to select what charwomen, scavengers
and water-carriers you will need
through the civil service 2"
II am very sorry to be misunder-
Stood" replied the admiral, because
1 am a thorough believer in the civil
service when it does not apply to us.
But am very sure that 1t would not
be satisfactory to the isthmus of
Panama"
Admiral Walker explained that the
estimate of cost of the canal made by
the last commission did not include
! the expense of governing the canal
zone.
The engineering features of the
work were explained at some length,
as we'll as the intense interest which
prospective contractors already are
taking in the matter. The admiral
said that on the steamer on which
the commission was to sail staterooms
had been engaged to the capacity of
the ship by the agents of prospective
contractors, who wanted to look the
ground over. In this connection he
advised that no requirement of law
should make it necessary to do the
work by contract, as ne believed con-
tractors might combine to the disad-
vantage of the Government. 1t was
the intention of the committee, he
said, to continue actual work on the
canal as now being carried ON by the
French company in order to demon
strate the exact cost of such work.
The engineering feat of the whole en-
terprise was expected to be the con-
struction of the Bhio dam. 1t will be
necessary to go 120 feet below the sea
level to get the proper foundation for
the dam. Although there have been
many borings for rock bottom, Ad-
miral Walker said that many more
would have to be made, because it was
essential that the engineers should be
absolutely certain of the proper
foundation before beginning the work.
The admiral said he had no doubt
that it was feasible to construct the
dam. On the question of a sea-level
canal Admiral Walker declared posi-
lively that in his opinion it never
would be necessary to go to the ex-
pense of constructing such a canal.
A lock canal would do all the work
required and cost much less.
Representative Harrison explained
to the committee the provisions of his
bill for the government of the canal
zone. This bill provides for COM
mission of twenty business men, the
engineering work to be supervised by
q corps of engineers.

Mr.. Franklin Wakefield was indeed
a happy man to have won beautiful
Lena Seton for his bride. The beaux
of San Diego were ever in the train
of Miss Seton, and for awhile it was
thought she had been won by a Ger
man army officer. They were reported
engaged. and the affair had progressed
so far that betrothal cards were sent
out-a fad borrowed from Germany.
But alas for the Germans dream Of
love! One day the Alert steamed into
port with Ensign Luther Overstreer
aboard His devotion to the beautiful
Miss Seton was well known to her
friends, and anyway she was partial
to the brass buttons of our navy, but
I have no authentic information as to
the cause of the breaking off of the
engagement AT any rate the betrothaI
cards were recalled, and Ensign Over
street was no more successful in his
wooing than was the man from the
Fatherland. Along came Mr.. Wake
field and he has carried off the prize,
much to the chagrin of the gallants of
San Diego Somebody has said that
the girl who is easily won isn't worth
having. Upon that theory is Miss Sef-
