DEMANDBYGERMANY
Cjffnese Responsible for Out
rages Must Be Delivered Up.
CIRCULAR NOTE TO THE POWERS
Surrendering- of Guilty Official an
Indispensable Preliminary to Be-
ginning Peace Negotiations.
BERLIN, Sept. IB. The Foreign Office
has sent a circular note to all the powers
announcing that the German Government
considers that an Indispensable prelimi
nary to the beginning of peace negotia
tions with China Is the delivering up of
those who were responsible for the out
rages, The text of the telegraphic note,
as the North German Gazette gives it.
Is as follows:
"The Government of the Emperor holds
as preliminary to entering upon diplo
matic relations with the Chinese Gov
ernment that those persons must be de
livered up who have been proved to be
the 'original and real Instigators of the
outrages against international law which
have occurred at Pekln. The number of
those who were merely Instrumental In
carrying out the outrages is too great.
"Wholesale executions would be contrary
to the civilized conscience and the cir
cumstances of such a group of leaders
cannot be completely ascertained, but
a few whose guilt Is notorious should be
delivered up and punished. The represen
tatives of the powers at Pekln are In
& position to give or bring forward con
vincing evidence, as less Importance at
taches to the number punished than their
characters as instruments or leaders. The
Government -believes It can count on the
unanimity of all the Cabinets in regard to
this point. Inasmuch as Indifference to
the Idea, of just atonement would be
equivalent to Indifference to a repetition
of a crime. The Government proposes,
therefore, that the Cabinets concerned
should instruct their representatives at
Pekln to indicate those leading Chinese
personages from whose guilt In Instigat
ing and perpetrating outrages all doubt
Is precluded. VON BUIOW."
The note has been sent to the German
Embassies at "Washington, London, St
Petersburg, Paris, Rome, Vienna and To
Jdo. The publication of Count von BuloWs
note was decided upon because It was
deemed best to let the world see that
Germany had nothing to hide regarding
her real alms in China. The diplomatic
corps here so interpret It The note
shows, also, that Count von Bulow's
sober and moderate views regarding tne
Chinese muddle and -its solution have now
triumphed over Emperor William's "more
expansive plans."
Tomorrow the leading German papers
will approve the note. The Presslnnige
Zeitung, calling particular attention to
the passage declaring that wholesale ex
ecutions will be contrary to the civilized
conscience, will say; "This Is In signifi
cant contrast with .Emperor "William's in
structions to the departing troops to
spare no one and make no prisoners."
lii Hung Chang, according to a Shang
hai dispatch to the Xokal Anzelger, prom
ised Dr. Mumm von Schwarzenstein, Ger
man Minister "to China, that Emperor
Kwang Hsu would return to Pekln, but
"ho said that this would lead to the estab
lishment of another government in Slnan
Fu.
Other Shanghai dispatches say that the
Boxer movement In the province of Shan
Tung Is increasing, and that the Governor-General,
Yuan She Kal, is unable
to suppress It
Herr Knappe, German Consul at 'Shang
hai, has invited the leading- firms there
to submit their ideas regarding future
conditions.
Count von Waldorsee is expected to ar
rive at Tien Tsln toward the end of the
present -week. The Simpllcimus has a
cartoon showing him In the act of being
photographed In a. score, of- positions, in
nil of which the Field Marshal assumes
a heroic pose. Ihe cartoon Is entitled
"Waldersee in Battle."

RECEIVED IN "WASHINGTON.
The" German JVote "Will Be Laid Be
fore .the Cabinet Today.
"WASHINGTON, Sept 18. A copy of the
German note demanding the punishment
of the leaders of the rebellion in China
was presented to Acting-Secretary Adee,
Sthe State Department today, from
e German Embassy. The German
Charge, Baron Sternberg', being tempo
rarily absent from the city, there could,
of -course, be no attempt at discussion of
thls$nost important communication. The
Baron is expected to return tomorrow,
when the subject may be taken up with
him. Meanwhile, the note itself will re
ceive the earnest attention of the Presi
dent and suchmembers of the Cabi
net as are in Washington tomorrow when
he arrives.
The State Department has all along
been directing its efforts to the speedy
opening of negotiations for ar final settle
ment with the Chinese Government and
has, so far, not been heard from relative
to the matter of punishments, beyond
the indirect references contained In the
notes that have defined the Government's
purposes. The question is now presented
plainly whether or not the negotiations
shall be preceded with a decision on that
point
It is learned here that the discussion
now proceeding -lri Berlin of an alleged
American proposition to limit the occupy
ing force in China to 10,000 in Pekin,
2000 outside the walls, and 25,000 else
where, is not based upon any plan sug
gested by the State Department here.
It canbe stated positively that It has
not figured In the diplomatic negotiations.
TABLES -TURNED ON RUSSIA.
Great Satisfaction In England Oxer
Germany's Note.
LONDON, Sept 19. 4:30 A. M. As
might have been expected, coincident
with the arrival of Count von Waldersee
in China, comes the most important dec
laration of policy yet issued hy any of
the allies. As the Daily News remarks-,
Germany's circular note has turned the
tables on Russia, whose evacuation pro
posal had put Germany into an awkward
corner. Now, if Russia assents to the
German note, she will be unable to con
tinue, says the Dally News, to pose "as
China's lenient and forgiving friend; while
if she dissents, Russia will lay herself
open to the charge of Teduclng the puni
tive expedition to a farce.
"London morning papers have little but
praise for what is called Germany's "ad
mirable note." The Times goes so far as
to wish that the credit for making such
a proposal belonged to Great Britain. The
Morning Post alone. In a cogent and well
reasoned editorial, points out a grave ob
jection, namely, that If the real authors
and Instigators of th6 uprising should
prove to be identical with the personnel
of the Chinese Government it can hard
ly be expected they will deliver them
selves up and that if tho Chinese Gov
ernment should be designated as guilty,
it would be under the ban of the pow
ers, a condition of things only terminable
by the conquest of China or a revolution
producing a new Government "There-
fore." says the Morning Post "the pow
ers should carefully weigh the matter
before cpmmlttlng themselves."

Eastern Oregon Desert Land.
EVERETT, Wash., Sept 15. (To the
Editor.) I want to find how much desert
land there Is In Eastern Oregon, and what
facilities there are for Irrigating same;
where the land Is situated, and how much
water" per acre is required for irrigating.
J. STANLEY SMITH.
As there are millions of acres of arid
lands, sometimes called desert, in the
southeastern portion of Oregon, and no
two of these acres are in the same place
nor have exactly the same faollltles for
Irrigation, It will be seen that It would
be a large contract to undertake to fur
nish all the Information asked for; beside,
it would be practically impossible to as
certain how much water per acre Is re
quired for Irrigation, as this amount
would vary greatly in different localities.
There are lakes, rivers and numerous
streams In the mountains In that section
of the state, and by securing a favorable
location water for Irrigation can be easily
had. Any one desiring to Invest In these
arid lands will 'do well to visit some sec
tion in that part of the state and see the
lands for himself. Thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of acres of these arid
lands are owned by stockmen, 'and form
the finest stock ranches on the Coast
Even the section known as the great
"American Desert" Is in most part cov
ered by a dense growth of vegetation, and.
herds of cattle thrive there In the Winter,
when there Is snow on the ground, but
cattle cannot live there In the Summer,
as there Is no drinking water obtainable.

"Pittsburg Phil" Sells Out.
NEW YORK, Sept IS. George E.
Smith, "Pittsburg Phil," announces that
he has decided to sell all the horses he
has in training,. and never again to own
a racer. He Is quoted as saying:
"I find that there is no profit for me
In owning horses. I have to take very
short prices against them and when I am
Interested in a horse in a race my judg
ment Is anchored More than that, I am
compelled to take two to one against a
horse when six to one would not be more
than a fair price. It is ruination."

2000 men afe engaged on the work. Ninety-eight-

short of the accurate number of dead

The storm wrecked almost every vault
In the .six 'cemeteries, and many of the
dead were washed to sea in metal cases.
So far only one casket has been found.
It had been carried three miles from the

The extension of the electric lighting
system continues. By tomorrow, the sec

More than 200 skilled mechanics were

uted over the city 'and large quantities
are arriving. Oyer a carload of dlsinf ect
artts was taken, from the wharves today
and sent to the health department and
almost as much "was taken from that
place and distributed over the city. As
fast as It can bo done, 'the city Is being
placed in a thoroughly sanitary condi
tion. Tho sick and wounded are receiving the
best of treatment arid the facilities are
such that any one needing medical atten
tion can have It by applying. Beside the
other hospitals and medical relief sta
tions already In service, the Marine Hos
pital and Refuge Home was opened this
afternoon, and will accommodate a; large
number of patients. Persons able to
travel have been taken from the hospitals
and sent In the revenue cutters and by
other means of transportation to Houston
and other relief stations on the mainland.
The outlook from a' health standpoint is
verx encouraging. -
Three piledrlvers are at work closing up
the breach in ftie Galveston Bay bridge
made by the steamship Roma. The re
building of the bridge Is progressing
rapidly, and it Is expected trains will bo
able to cross Thursday. Orders have been
Issued to have all freight proceed to Gal
veston. The one bridge will be heavily
taxed to accommodate all the trains. The
tracks on Galveston Island will be com
pleted to the bridge tomorrow noon. En
gines are again running Into the Union
station and switching in the wharf yards,
and are bringing freight to the ships In
port
The waterworks system Is being grad
ually restored, and the mains are 'now
supplying the various hospitals. '
Miss Clara Barton, of-the Red Cross,
has been tendered the ns.e of the old
Sealy bulldlng.'fbrmerly used by the gen
eral offlceB of the Santa Fe Railway, and
has opened a depot for supplies. She has
sent orders for food, medicine and sur
gical dressings and clothing and "shoes.
Otherwise, she haB ' recommended that
money be uent here, as the merchants
can supply a great many things needed.
A bureau has been-established to take
a complete census of the city.
General Scurry has ordered that all
t families living within- a block of the pile
oi aeons dbck or tne district entirely
swept away shall move out, as a sani
tary precaution.
Congressman Hawley advocates the
building of a breakwater, beginning' at
the south jetty and extending westward,
paralleling the shore of Galveston Island
for a distance of about seven miles. With
a base of 25, feet and a crown of e'ght
feet, capped with heavy granite blocks,
he believes this windbreak the force of a
tidal wave and adequately protect Gal
veston. In answer to an Inquiry sent him as to
the Intentions of the Southern Pacific
towards Galveston, Charles H. Tweed,
chairman of the board, bjis telegraphed to
the Galveston Cotton Mxohange as fol
lows: "Work on our Improvements at
Galveston has already, been resumed, and
Is being'' pressed forward as rapidly as
possible."
The anxiety to leave the city is dying
out. At 6 o'clock this evening the" reve
nue cutter Galveston took a large number
of patients from the Sealy and St Mary's
hospitals. These are to go to Clinton and
there be transferred to railroad cars for
Houston. The revenue cutter "Winona will
take a number of other sick and wounded
tomorrow. She made a trip yesterday, re
turning this evening. Each cutter is ac
companied by relief ' nurses.
A bargeload of provisions and a barge
load of bridge material were brought from
Houston today. The provisions are dona
tions from various quarters.
One feature that has caused a better
feeling and a more pronounced willing
ness, to work is afforded! by the fact that
the time of all the laborers employed Is
being kept at headquarters. The, men, be
ing assured of compensation for their la
bor, naturally go about their unpleasant
tastes with a much better grace than
heretofore. A thorough inspection reveals
the fact that every detachment Is as well
t organized as is possible under the circum
stances, and that all aro working har
moniously. There are no developments which would
lead to the belief that the estimate of a
property Joss of 522,600,000 is too high.
While one occasionally finds a business
man whose property has not suffered
greatly, It must be stated that the. class
Is hopelessly In the minority, and that
large losses are the v rule.

GREAT LOSS AT R3GH ISLAND.
Three Handrcd and Fifty Bodies
Have Been Found -There.
GALVESTON., Tex.,'Bept 18. "There
are only 10 houses in a habitable con
dition south of High Island," said H.
Spangler, "general manager of the Gulf
&. Interstate Company, who returned to
day from a tour of Inspection of the prop
erty of his company. "Thousands of
bodies of dead animals and about 350
bodies of human beings were -found there.
Tho latter have heen partially burled, but
tho hands and feet are protruding from
the earth In many places, and there are
not enough people left In that section to
bury the dead."
Mr. Spangler will endeavor to 'set a
party from here to go over and complete
the work of burying the dead. He says
that SI miles of the Gulf & Interstate
road has been destroyed, and that about
eight miles of the right of way was also
lost by the encroachments of the Gulf.
It Is too early to form a correct estimate
of the loss. Mr. Spangler says, however,
that he has no doubt that the road will
be rebuilt
Tho situation throughout the country
extending from Bolivar to High Island,
Is possibly worse than In any other sec
