BERLIN, March 12.-Fierce
slashes between the miners and
the police today marked the great
coal strike at Hamborn, Dussel-

crowd and sabered score of per-
sons. The mines are completely
tied up today.
Herr Won Puttkamen demanded
that the government end the
strike no matter how drastic the
measures.
Under the pressure of the So
cialists," said Herr Puttkamen,
Germany is rushing toward rev.
olution. The socialists openly an
nounce their desire for a repub-
lie. Their demands are bringing
the country near a state of ter
rorism. The time has come when
the government must adopt the

PEhIN, March 12.-Haunted
continually by the belief that he
is marked for assassination,
President Yuan Shi Kai today is
q prisoner in his own palace. Three
regiments of Manchu soldiers
guard all entrances to the struc-
ture.
Americans have mounted can
mons and rapid-fire guns for their
own protection, anticipating a re-
sumption of killing and looting.
Foreigners are virtually prisoners,
not daring to venture outside OF
a restricted district.
The streets of the city are COW
cred with headless and decom-
posed corpses, slain by orders OF
the president. The stencil is
frigthful and an epidemic of dis
ease is certain. Most of the slain
are civilians and coolies. Yuan
Shi Kai ordered them killed to
prove his declaration that all loot
ers and bandits participating in
the recent uprising would be pun
ished. The native element is
wrought up to a high pitch of in
dignation and excitement, claim
ing that the victims of President
Yuan Shi Kai's orders were inno-
cent.
Soldiers threaten openly to
charge the palace and behead the
president. Yuan ordered the exc
cution of the very men who aided
in efforts to suppress the recent

He accomplished more than any or
his predecessors; more laws were
enacted, laws of more general
benefit to the people; but above
all, his administration enforced
all laws on teh statute books as
they had never been enforced be-

No fear or favor was shown
In the enforcement of the laws

BY his speeches, by his public
