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.

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.

Washington, April 26 -The case
of Capt Coghlan may be considered
an finally closed The German am
b ssador, Dr von Holieben, called at
the white hor.se this afternoon and
had a conference on the subject with
the president of such a satisfactory
nature that the matter was regarded
as settled. 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.

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

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

A PREGNANT SCHEME.
LUMBER MEN EFFECT A
BIG DEAL iN LAND.
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. For sale by Dr. A. J. Chiua.

The past few days have been filled
with terribie outrages aod barbarous
butcheries, negro murdered a farm

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.

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.

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.
