GERMAN MENACE REAL.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts Startles
House of Lords With His Words.

London Speaking in the House of
Lords, Field Marshal LoHd Roberts
expressed the conviction that the lack
of military force sufficient to make
hopeless the attempt of an invasion
would in all probability be the cause
of the loss of Great Britain's suprem-
acy at sea. In a studied speech he
pointed out the comparative ease with
which Germany could land an army
on the shores of England. Under the
present conditions England would be
forced, he said, to submit to most
humiliating demands.
He disclaimed all hostility to or
fear of Germany, but he declared that
the defense of the islands required
immediate attention. There should
be an army so strong in numbers and
efficient in quality that the most for
midable of foreign nations would hes
itate to make landing in England.

$50 O'Clock a. m. the big White Star
freighter Georgia, from Liverpool, ran
down and sank the Panama Railroad
Company's steamer Finance, outward
bound for Cristobal, in the Canal
Zone.
The vessels came together in the
main ship channel, about three miles
east of the Sandy Hook Lightship.
Fifteen minutes after the bow Of the
Georgia had torn great hole in the
side Of the Panama steamer she was
lying on the bottom of the channel,
with only a part of her bridge, smoke
stack and masts showing above water.
Three passengers and one of the
ships assistant engineers were
drowned. They were:
Irene Campbell, a fourteen-year-old
colored girl, living near Cristobal.

tor, living at Basobispo.
Charles w. Schweinler, a police
man from the Canal Zone.
William d. Todd, third engineer, of
New York.
There wereeabout seventy-fve pas
sengers, among them nineteen wom-
en- and fifteen children. Following
the collision, several men and women
jumped overheard, but were picked
llp by the boats from the Finance and
the Georgia. On the whole, good or

that there was not greater loss of
life The officers and crew of the
Finance were cool Captain Mowbray

was sinking, armed with a revolver,
and saw that the women and children
were first to enter the boats. After

the bridge when the vessel sank.
Fortunately the bridge stayed above
water, and he was taken off after

Following the collision the am

William Todd, the third engineer, was
caught in the escaping fluid. Almost
suffocated, he staggered to the deck
and jumped overheard before res
cuers could reach him.
Muller was drowned while swim
ming about the Finance, and Irene
Campbell, the little colored girl, re-
fused to leave the Finance, clinging
to the rail in frenzy of terror.
The accident was due wholly to the

ENGLAND PANICKY OVER INDIA.
Native Hatred Intense-Drastic Pow
ers For Suppression of Outrage.


London. The daily records Of vio-
hence and Nseditious acts in India have
long shown that the unrest there is
increasing rather than abating. The
opinion is becoming general here that
officially admitted.
One of the latest Indications that
the trouble is growing is the sudden
determination of the Viceroy, the
Earl of Mimic, to cut short tour that
he is making in the provinces. He
has resolved to return to Calcutta
ten days earlier than he intended.
Some of the newspapers here are
calling for sterner methods in re-
pressing sedition, which, in one opin-
ion. signifies revival of race hatred
such as has not been shown since the
Mutiny.

and open expression of views l have
no doubt that in a reasonable time the
other propositions connected with our
public lands will be worked out. l for n
certainly am disposed to give all the
time and consideration necessary to
assist in a just solution of the present
difficulties, because, although I have
not the personal knowledge of the ex-
act situation that you have, | realize
to the fullest extent the great impor-
lance of this question to our people.
AS a practical legislative PROPOSE
ton. | do not think it is reasonable to
expect any legislation at this session
of congress either in the direction of
leasing land or of the permit system,
as suggested by the department of
agriculture. l am IN great hopes that
the coming summer, however, with its
opportunity for free discussion and ex-
change of views, may bring such re-
suits that when the representatives
and senators from the western states
come down for the next session Of con-
gress they may be able to agree upon
some plan that will meet the situation
and one that will be especially de-
vised to meet the necessities and re-
quirements OF the smaller holders Of
land and stock.
l trust that whatever you may have
heard of my views and actions upon
this entire matter you have not for a
moment believed that 1 was not
actuated always by the best interests
of the people whom l have the honor
to represent.
1 am abliged to you for your letter
and should be glad to hear from you
at any time and at length upon this or
any other matter in which you as IA
citizen of Wyoming are interested.
Yours very sincerely,
