Eather Bardon The Germans. Coghlan Hit Them, And Now Kautz Rubs it in. N Cincinnati, April 25.-A letter written by Bear Admiral Kautz to bis cousin, Mrs Charles N Lindley, of Cincinnati, has been made public by the recipient, It is dated il arch 23, and is io the easy vein of a relative's private correspondence. In the letter he says : "You will probably read a lot of stuff about me io various newspapers, but I can assure you that I am all right and have done nothing I or my friends may be ashamed of, unless it is the making of a king, which I was obh'dged to do today. But he is a very inoffensive sort of a young fel low, a native, 19 years of age. He wears a French admiral's cocked hat, bat no shoes or stockings or trousers ; still, considering the torrid weather, he looks very well in this climate But I hardly think be could look as weil on 4th street, Cin cinnati I am not a King here, but just plain 'boss of the ranch/ The German consul had that poa: lion up in my arrival, but since then be bas been a very silent, partner. I am very much afraid he does not like me in fact, I am not at all popular here with the Germans. But I am ali right with the English, and 1 hope to pull through with them I have BO doubt of being sustained by the Government in al! I have done. I hope to get away from here ?n a month from this time, but will not be in San Francisco before the middle ol May. With love to the Kentucky colonel and yourself, your cousin, Albert Kautz " **P. S -I waa in error about the shoes and trousers of his royal high ness. At the last moment his advis ers prevailed on him to put on both, just for this occasion only. "A K." The Kentucky colonel mentioned ia Mrs Lindsey's husband, a member Governor Bradley's staff. LETTER MAY MAKE TROUBLE Washington, April 26-Th* pub lication of Admiral Kaurz's letter referring to bis position at Samoa cass ed absolutele consternation at the navy and State departments at first reading, bot there was soon exhibited a disposi tion to minimiza the affair, because it as clearly apparent that, the letter was cot h ie g more than a strictly private communication passing between mem bers of the same family. Nevertheless, cooing as it does, close upon Capt. Coghlan 'a remarks, and following the publieatioo of Judge Chambers's letter to his brother criticis ing the Germans io Samoa, the opinoo was held that Admiral Kautz's letter ecald not have other then a harmful effect upon the relations between the United States and Germany. Th? letter was brought to the atten tion of the President and some sort of a reminder may be sect to the officer to be more careful in his correspondence. No orders have been issued to the Philadelphia co leave Samoa, as the admiral says, so it is probable that he made the statement on that point in the belief that he coo Id adjust tbe differ ences beoweeo the faotions in Samoa withto that time. Ic oficial German quarters this let ter &s cot treated very seriously and there waa no indication that the Ger man authorities world take cognizance of it. Tbe spirit ot fun in the letter appealed to some of the diplomatic officials, ho laughed heartily over Kaaz's description of the young King's mats up, ard this amusing festere largely oft^e; any irritation which might hara been felt ever the criticisms oootaioed ic the letter. The impression prevailed, however, that the navy department probably would deal wi;h the indiscreto is such a way as it deserved. * If yon have piles care tbem.

The president explained tbe conree the navy department had taken in administrating a reprimand to Capt. Coghlan It was also poin ed out that the officer's explanation of the incident stated that his utter ance bad been much exaggerated. On the part of the ambassador there was every disposition to deal as light ly with the matter as possible and not to permit it to become a source of friction. - If you aoffer from tenderness or fellness on the right aide, paies nuder shoulder-blade constipation, biliousness, aick-headache, and feel doll, heavy and sleepy your liver i3 j torpid and congested.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK IN TRADE. Surprising Strength Main tained Under Conditions. New York, April 28.-R G. Duo & Co's Weekly Review of Trade will say : All elements considered it is rather surprising that business has net been set *back a little. The uncertainty abont Samoa and the prolonging of difficulty in the Phil ippines might have counted for something, the rising imports and falling exports for something, the rise in foreign exchange by some attrib uted to foreign sales of copper stocks, and the hindrance of manufacturing orders owing to the recent advance in prices. But there has been full I faith that foreign difficulties would I soon be cleared away, and the move j ment io exchange is generally con I nected with speculative rather than legitimate operations since accounts of trade stiii indicate a large excess of exports. After every rise in prices manufacturers have to con sider whether hindered consumption with increased production will make them difficult, but the confidence with which combinations are formed and extended still shows prevailing belief that no danger point is near. The state of foreign trade justified confidence rather than apprehension It is the season for the lowest exports of staples, and their prices this year are extremely low, bot the unprece dented foreign demand for manufac tured products so far compensates that tbe excess of exports in March was heavy and apparently has been in April. The presence of English merchants ia Boston trying to sell English medium wool which could be deliv ered at about 32 cents at the same time English buyers were taking a little fine for export and German buyers 300,000 pounds more Aus tralian from bond shows the opposi tion trend of popular taste in differ ent countries Clay worsteds here have advanced 7 12 cents and serges 5 cents, which has given a stronger tone to the whole market. Fine wool is relatively cheap here and dear abroad but concessions all kinds, s heavy stocks carried for years come into presence of new wool said to be 300,000,000 poonda. Manufacturers are not now buying largely, though in four weeks 30,718,185 pounds were sold, of which 23.315,065 were domestic, against 41,712,650 in the same weeks two years 8go, when wool was rising. The ootton manufacture has made little change, and tbe strikes following the advance in wages given appears to have benefited manufacturers not a little by helping the demand, and curtailing tbe supply of goods. Cotton is a six teenth lower, with generally improved prospects/for the coming crop The boot and shoe industry surpasses all other years io April shipments, last year by ll per cent.. 1895 by 13 per cent., and 1892 ky 45 per cent., and manufacturers aro generally provided with orders for months ahead, but tbe advance asked does not appear to have been generally paid. Without business, Bessemer pig is acchasged at Pittsburg and grey forgo Btroag at $14.50. though 16.000 looa Boutbern have been eoid here at 14.20. There are some large structural orders, a Philadelphia building for 17,000 tons, a western bridge for 5,000 a Duluth elevator aod the St. Lawrence bridge at Qaebec, though the general run of orders io this line is light, and in rails no larger sales are reported, though inquiries for 50,000 tons are said to be in this market. Advanced prices are noted in pipe and decrease in merchants orders, with smaller business ia sheets, and at thc west in bars pending tbe completion cf the combination Bat the geoeral decrease in new demand raises the question whether prices will be maiMaiued after currect orders run out Failures for the week, 184 in the iioited States, against 162 last year, and 23 in Canada, against 16 hst year His Life Wa* Saved.

A few days ago lhere appeared in the News and Courier a spec ai dispatch fron Georgetown, telling of the consummation there of an immense deal in lumber, the parties concerned being Messrs. Freeman of Sumter, R L Montague of Florence and several other parties. The article went on to say that the deai had been completed, several thousand acres of timbered land purchased, the erection of a three band saw mill begun and the large Savage mill purchased and enlarged, and that the capacity of the tvhoie plaut would be 150,000 feet per day. In order to transfer cut timber to the mili an extensive tram road was also to be built Mr. Montague was seen by a Times reporter as soon as the report appeared. Ile stated that the author of the article was evidently not a lumber man and was simply jumping at conclusions, before anything material had been done, f e gave out no particualars, eaying at that lime the matter had not come to a head. Since then Mr. Montague, who is now at Georgetown, has let us know that the transactiorThave been com pleted and the firm incorporated, the character having been obtained at Norfolk, Va. The o ation of the mill will be at Georgetown, so the prognostications of the Georgetown correspondent may materialize. The new corporation bast parchas ed timber all along the line from Florence to Georgetown, and it is very probable their prospective tram road will ply between toe two above named places ; and who knowe bat what this will be the nucleus of an ever wished, and long prayed for railroad between Florence and Georgetown ? Many a large road bas resulted from just such beginnings and from a tittie tram road built for the convenience of Lumber mills trunk lines have sometimes resulted Many land owners aiong the new line would gladly donate enough of their property for the right of way, to have the road and to established stations in thier communit.es The plan is practicable and while the projectors of the deal are silent as to their intentions, The Times bas an idea that there is mach below the surface that will eventually develop into great things.-Florence Times Many old soldiers now feel the effects of the bard service tbey endured during the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of Rossville, York county, Penn., who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequent ly troubled with rheumatism. "I bad a evere attack lately," be says, "and prccnrid a bottle of Chamberlain's Eaic Balm. It did 30 mach good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles." Mr. Anderson wanted it both for hts own use and to supply it to bis friends and neighbors, aa every family should have a bottle of it IQ their boree, not only for rheu matism, tut lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts, bruist'S and bump, for which i: is un equalled.

The past few days have been filled with terribie outrages aod barbarous butcheries, negro murdered a farm er and outraged his wife over in Geor gia last week He was pursued and captured and subjected to the mest in human and barberons death at thc stake. He was literally cut np by piecemeal and finally saturated with kerosene oil and burned His crime ws a fearful one and desereed swift and sure punishment, but the barbar ous treatment he received at the hands of the mob was an outrage on white civilization and is sure to have a retroact ive i&fluence on those who engaged in it, and we say this remembering the fearful crime and outrage of the fiend himself. Aod there in the same State an aged white man, the father of a large family and a widower is charged with the ruin and murder of a young girl, the daughter of one cf his tenants. Right here at Greenville a negro com mits an outrage on the wife of a farmer, and a few miles further down the road at Piedmont a white mau goes to the bouse of a friend and fiods his wife alone and insults ber ; the husband is notified and comes upon the scene and knocks thc man in the head and kills him. All this has happened in nearby communities within the last few days. What ts the trouble ? Where is the remedy?-Newberry Herald and News. McKinley Apologizes.

Yesterday's Progress of the Calumpit Expedition. Manila, April 25-10 30 a. m. Although tba sticky eocdition of tbs ground, doe to a raia storm, seriously impeded its progress. Geo. Lawton's column left San Jose today and ia expected to reaeh Norzagay this even i og. Col. Sammers is roarchiog across from Bocave with two battalions each from the Oregon od Minnesota regi ments, three troops of cavalry-and two guns. Io the meantime Geo. MacAr thur's division is in front ol Calumpit preparing to attack the rebels' stronghold, andcGen. Hale, with several guns, 9 threatening: the enemy's flank. A few rebels between Novs.liches and La Loma have persistency interferred with telegraphic communication, bot the signa! corps have repaired the breaks and captured several prisooers. A small body of rebels at Taktay was discovered this morning by the armored launch Lapidan. A few shots scattered the rebels and drove them inland from the lake. ADVANCE OF HALE'S BRIGADE. Manila, April 25-6 15 p. m.-Gen. Hale's brigade, consisting of the Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota regiments, with three guns, which leis Malolos on Monday, followed the west i bank of the Rio Grande River to a ford. Macy small bands of. rebels were encountered, and during, toe afternoon the Americas discovered several hundred of the enemy entrench ed near Puliian, north of Qaiagao. Oar troops attacked the rebels, losing sis men , kilted and eleven wounded. Gen. Beale's troops claim that nearly two hundred dead natives were counted along the country traversed. Among the dead was a Spanish captain. The South Dakota regiment bore the brunt cf the fighting and had 5ve mee killed and nine wounded. \ . .The temperature today was 94 de grees and several cases of sunstroke were reported. The weather was cloudy. The coantry traversed by cur troops is thickly wooded and the hard est for fighting. The rebels along the Bagbag Uiver were reinforced from Calumpit as the troops under Gen. Hale approached. Daring the day the American cap tured 350 prisoners As this dispatch is seut the rebels are retreating io the direction of Calumpit. The Filipino troops engaged were well uninformed and well drilled. As the campaign progresses the rebel troops are improving. They are adopt ing American methods, and the accur acy of their shcotiog is evidenced by the fact that five Americans were shot in the bead. Gen Hale at 4 o'clock this morning crossed the river and advanced on Ca lumpit. Gen MacArthur's division also advanced and nine of the armored fiat oars were pushed ahead on the rail road. Tee Kansas regiment advanced on the right of the traok aod the Montana regiment pushed on its left. ?^p - - - ? rn - Negro Troops for Otis. Washington, Aprii 25-A proposi tion to utiliza negro troops to a larpe extent io future military operations in the Philippines is attracting much attention, and it is believed will be considered by the Administration io the near future. Such a policy vs urg ed oe the theory that certain racial affiliations may be utilized io a way to defeat rebellious acts on the part of Aguinaldo and bis party, and to bring \ peace to the newly acquired possessions ol tbe United States in the East. One third of the population of the Philip pines are negroes of the same race ss those io the United States, and while not numerous about Manila comprise nearly the entire population of some of the islands The advocates of the scheme believe that io a short time there would be an assimilation between he negroes of the Philippines and their kindred from the United States, aod that there would follow for the colored people opportunities to get homes and possibilities of careers they could not hope for in this count.7.
