WAR in AFRICA
CAUSES SEVERE REBUKE TO
GERMAN OFFICIALS IN
REICHSTAG.
Claimed That Germany Has Always
Been For Peace In Recent
Years.

Berlin, Dec. 15.-In the Reich
stag yesterday Chancellor Won Bue-
low, replying to the criticism of So
cialists that Germany's foreign poll
cy was calculated to disturb the
peace of the world, repelled emphat-
ically the assertion that the German
Emperor, who for eighteen years has
given so many proofs of his honest
love of peace was in any way dis
turber of that peace.
The reason so many Englishmen
believe Germany is a disturber of
peace, said the chancellor was to be
found in speeches of the socialists
which so represented Germany's role.
Herr Bebel, the socialist leader
who preceded Won Buelow, referred
To the orders of Lieut.. Gen. Won

His Attorneys are Now Prepar-
ing the Reasons to Be Offered.
Verdict Was Surprise-Threc Of
Jury for Acouittal of the
Defendant.
DEFENDANT is NOW IN CUSTODY

Attorneys of II. II. Loving, yes.
terday convicted of manslaughter in
the circuit court and given five years
for killing II. A. Rose on August 3,
1905, are preparing their motion for
a new trial, which they expect to
file tomorrow. In the meantime the
prisoner must remain in custody of
the county jailer.
II is not known what reasons VIVA
be offered for a new hearing, as the
attorneys will not disclose them.
but 1t is said there will be several.
The defendant was at the county
jail yesterday afternoon in conver-
sation with his attorney, Hon. Hal s.
Corbett, when the news of a verdict
having been reached was brought to
tho jail.
Mr.. Loving. his attorney and Jail
er Jones repaired to the court room,
and the defendant seemed to feel
confident of acquittal. His face fell
slightly when the verdict was read,
but he took IL quietly. and his attor-
ney,, Mr.. Corbett, seemed much more
affected by it than the prisoner him
sci. In case a new trial is granted,
the defendant will doubtless be re-
leased on bond.
Loving's attorneys seemed to
think that he would be either acquit-
ted or convicted of graver crime
than he was.
The verdict in the II. II. Loving
case seems to have been surprise
to everyone, as majority of those
who heard the evidence and argu-
ments seem to have expected either
a hung jury or acquittal. Mr.. Low
ing took the verdict quietly and his
attorneys Immediately began pre-
pairing reasons for new trial.
The verdict in full was:
"We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of voluntary manslaughter,
and fix his penalty at five years in
the penitentiary."
Another report is that seven of the
jury were for 21 years, two were for
12 years, and the other three were
for acquittal.
A memberof the jury said today
that he was not authorized to say
how the jury stood, but that it
stood for various things at various
stages of its deliberation. He said
that at the start there were four in
favor of willful murder, with sent
ence of life Imprisonment or death,
and that three were for acquittal at
the start. Later, he said, four were
for acquittal, The jurymen were for
various things at various other times
but the most interesting part is that
at one time four we're for acquittal,
while at one time four were for con-
viction for wilful murder.
