Germany's Hands in Pockets Of
Brazil,

SeiHha''y 7dHoS III Pockets OF
Brazil.
The kaiser and his advisers long
ago recognized that while the col
onization of Brazil was an essen
tial preliminary to the eventual
domination of the country, by far
the greatest hold ON the Latins
would be through financial depend
ence on Germany. With this ideal
in mind, Germany has been quietly
working for economic predomin-
ance in Brazil, and at last she has
realized her desire. Were Brazil
now to adopt severe attitude to-
ward the Teutons, the country
would probably have to face bank
ruptcy. Germany has her hands in
the pockets of Brazil and there is
no escape for the South American
republic except in the protection of
the Monroe doctrine.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 81. -
Germany is preparing for the time
when she can raise her flag over
Brazil and defy the United States
and the Monroe doctrine.
CONTINUALLY during the past few
years an amending line of German
settlers has been marching into
the country, until at present there
are 100000 Germans in Brazil.
Most of them have become Bra
lillian subjects, but their Teuton
natures do not assimilate with the
Latin South Americans. and in the
event of crisis they would be at
the call Of the kaiser.
In the southern part of Brazil,
Germany, through her sons, is real
ly the predominant power. Many
of the towns there are German in
their form of government, in Ian
guage and even in the use of the
Teutonic tongue in official docu-
ments. German officials have
charge of the local government
and the German flag is more con-
spicuous than the Brazilian. Ger
mans here refer to the Teutonic
settlements in the country as the
kaiser's colonies.
Three German companies, one in
Hamburg. another in Leipzig, and
a third in Dresden. have been form
ed to assist the immigration of the
kaiser's subjects into Brazil. They
have secured title to over 100000
acres in various parts of Brazil,
and they conduct a restless move
ment in Germany to induce the

TeutOnS to become coloniStS in the
South American republic.
One of the companies, the Hau-
seattle Colonization Corporation of
Hamburg, has issued map of the
state Of Santa Catherine in South
Brazil, with the German districts
colored and declared to be Ger
man colonies"
The German settlers are con-
stantly being told that they are
under the protection of the kaiser's
warships. They have been encour-
aged by the German authorities at
home, acting, of course, sub rosa,
to band together and to hold aloof
from Brazilian patriotic ideals. The
settlers are forming an organiza-
ton to link themselves together
and to oppose the Brazilian govern
ment whenever the authorities run
counter to Teutonic opinion.
The natural born citizens of Bra
I'll are beginning to recognize the
danger that are facing their coun-
try by the influx of Germans, and
the government is being told that
it ought to take action to stop
the Germanization of the country
before il is TOO late. The matter
mas come up IN the Brazilian con-
gress and speeches have been made
declaring that the southern dis
tricts of the country already are
losing their Brazilian nationality.
The Brazilians are growing more
and more restless and an anti.Ger-
man feeling is being reused that Is
spreading in many directions. The
Germans contribute to this and

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 90
Under the auspices of the Carna-

perpetuate the memory of the mar
tyred President Mckinley, the an
niversary of the birth of the late

day in all circles of society. Car

where, and there were few men in

wear carnations in the buttonhole.

every battle resulted in a draw, the

There was lots of fun at the Spo-
kane Amateur Athletic club yester-
day where two games Of indoor
baseball were played. The Fastid-
los, formerly the PowellSanders,
and the Highlanders played the first
game. The Fastidios won, 81 to II.
For the first two innings it was
a shame the way those Fastidios
soaked the ball and ran bases.
Every time one of the Highlanders
got the ball a Fastidio started to
run and he kept running until he
crossed the home plate. The High
landers would throw the ball every
place but the right one. The Fas-
tidios made Is runs in the first
three innings and then the High
landers braced up and by heavy
hitting and head work nearly pull
ed themselves out of the hole.
Inc second game, the game be-
tween the Indians and Telegraph
ers, was almost a farce. The In
dams started off with in the first
and 6 in the second, and then fool
ed around until the Photographers
caught up with them. After that

The front end of each was damaged
considerably.
Car No s was in charge of Motorman
Ray Culver and Conductor Joseph

his car near the POppertOn power
house. because of the slippery cOndf-

went around several curves. the car re-
NAMED on the track
As they came down the Y street hill
both of the men saw the signal light
and realized that a car was coming
with which they must collide. Fearing
for their lives both men jumped from
the car as they neaTed the bottom Of
the hill.
MOtorman John Gray of No. Z, seeing
that No. s was running away, reversed
the current. He saw that il was of no
use and calling to Conductor A H
kemptOn both jumped. The cars came
together with such force that both left
the rails.
