Berlin, April 1s-Colonial circles

of the battle at Okaharui, German
Southwest Africa, which was received
in Berlin March 19, as a large party

ed at the battle of Onganjira, retreat
ed in the direction where Glasenapp
was last heard of. 1t is feared that
his small column of about $50 men
has been annihilated by superior
force of the enemy.
Up to a late hour in the day no
details had been received from the
scene of the battle at Okatumba, al
though dispatch had been anxiously
awaited throughout the day. Among
the killed at Okatumba was Captain
Won Bagenski.
The recent severe losses in officers
and privates, together with the fact
that large masses of Hereros are still
under arms and capable of resisting
German artillery attacks for hours,
have created the impression here that
a mistake was made originally in send
ing too small force to Africa. The
newspapers now say that the emperor
was right when he proposed to send
5000 men under command of a gen
eral. Unfortunately, it is added, the
colonial and military authorities
caused different counsels to prevail.

ton Missing.
New York, April 18.-Reports of a
defalcation by an employe of the Chem
ical National bank, one of the largest
financial institutions Sere, have been
cleared up by statement by Cashier
Francis Halpin. 1t is to the effect that
trusted man, whom he names, dis
appeared ten days ago after faithfully
serving the bank for twenty-five years
and that investigation Of his accounts
discloses that they are "out of proof"
to the extent Of $22,53S.97. The miss
ing man was clerk in the check de-
partment. The case contains some
peculiar features, inasmuch as he did
not handle any money or securities
but was employed only in the depart:
ment mentioned. His duties were,
with others, to take the checks brought
in from the morning S clearances, ETC.,
verify them and c-' - shanl in day
books, from which the amounts were
entered in the ledge.s.
Precisely how the distractions were
made is something of mystery, for
the bank officials, while discovering
the failure of his books to prove by
more than $4,000, have been unable
to discover any vouchers missing.
