Administration Finds That It Will lie
Mnsv to Retaliate in Event of
Cicriiiany's Discriminating Against
American ('mods.
Ni.w YoitK, March 0, A special to the
Iieru.d from Washington suye: Though
tin; Administration ctnuot protest
against injurious legislation pending in
lliodermun Legislature, it haa devolopcd
that It hna been making n j uiut invest!
cation to ascertain the extent of the
adulteration of German importations in
to the United States. This investigation
litis extended to the imports of othar
European governments which impose
restrictions upon American goods. In
the ease of Germany, tho information to
lie obtained will be of value in determin
ing the course this Government shall
adopt should the meat-inspection bill,
reported by the Reichstag committee, be
enacted into law.
This investigation, which has beon
going on for some little time, has de
veloped that the objection raised by the
German governmont against American
products also exists in German goods.
This discovery ia very gratifying to the
ollieiula, as it furnishes them with an
excellent weapon to be employed in case
of need. German wines are said to con
tain adulterants, and the President,
should he determine to do so, can take
measures to exclude them.
Examination of a statement of the pro
visions of the bill reported by the Reich
stag committee shows, the authorities
say, that American meats can be entire
ly excluded. The press dispatches in
dicated that the conditions relative to
inspection had been modified, but
Ambassador White's dispatch announces
that the hill contemplates an imperial
inspection at the port of entry, and a
local Inspection in the province which is
tliudcstination of the meat. In addition,
thuro is tho prohibition of American
canned and corned beef and sausage. It
is tho contention of this government and
Ambassador White has been so advised,
that one inspection should bo sufficient.
With an imperial and local inspection,
tlm cll'uct would be, it is stated, to con
demn practically nil American meats
which might be imported into the Ger
man Umpire.
In answer to a complaint registered by
this government at the refusal of the
local authorities of tho German Empire
In give information to American Consuls,
Hie Gorman govornirmnt has announced
that all such information must come j
hum the foreign olllce, and communica
tions requesting it should bo sent to the
Minister of Foreign Allaire. In principle!
this, according to the department, must
bo accepted, but there is no intention of
I'unnitting such discrimination against
American Consuls as is apparent from
tlm secret instructions to German officials
t Dessuldorf, as published in the Herald

INSULTS DIGNITY
OF PUERTO RICO
They Ask Markets For Their Products
and (let Charity Opinions of
Spanish Press.
Citv of Mkxico, March fi. The press
here, both native and foreign, condemn
the policy of the United States Congress
toward Puerto Rico. The papers printed
in English are severe in their criticisms
on the treatment of the annexed island,
and predict trouble ahead. The Spanish
Colonies organ, Corerro Epanola, says:
"McKinley, having taken pity on
Puerto lt'co, has asked Congress to
authorize him to devote to the relief of
the island which has been converted
by famine into a new British India a
sum equivalent to tne uustora -House
duties paid by tho merchants of Puerto
Rico on its introduction into the United
States. It is said that half a loaf is
better than no bread, hut we are of the
opinion that this measure is worse than
nothing. Instead of converting the in
habitants of the island into mendicants,
they ought to be loft free to develop
their natural resources and sell their
products, to which end exportatione,
now in a state of stagnation, should be
facilitated by means of free trade.
"What Puerto Rico needs rather than
degradation, almost, which is insulting
to human dignity, is to be able to soil
its sugar and tobacco. But this would
not suit tho American producers of sugar
and tobacco; it would run counter to the
protected interests which havo great
influence in the Federal Congress, and
McKinley. in order not to offend those
interested, has found a way out of it by
offering charity."
Ill Life Waa Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of

President Lincoln, with his great,
kindly nature to which children and
music appealed so Mrcnuout-ly, was, of
course, pattionately fond of iluwers,
and during his administration the con
servatories assumed n form very sim
ilar to their preMMit appearance. Very
often when Lincoln wished to be abso
lutely alone he sought the solitude of
the conservatory, and those about him,
as soon as they became appreciative of
this fact, exercised the greatest care
that Ills wish for privacy should be re
spected. Often when the cloud of war
and desolation hung darkest over the
country the old gardener in charge
would come suddenly upon the presi
dent standing dejectedly nmong the
folinge, his eyes bedimmed with tears.

CAPE COLONY
BOERS RETREAT
General 'Gatacre Has Occupied Storm
berg Without Serious Opposition
and Is Now in Close Communica
tion With General Clements at
Colcsbcrg.
fa
Lo.vdok, March 6 The Boers in
Northern Cape Colony are in fall retreat
to the Orange Free State. The possession
ofStormberu puts General Gatacre in
railroad communication with General
Clements at Colesberg, for though the
Boers partially wrecked the railroad, it
is understood that it can be quickly re
paired, and thus the entrance of ad
ditional British troops into the Free
State will be facilitated.
From Osfontein, wh&re Roberts is op
posed by a good-sized body of Boere,
there is still no news except reports of
minor ekirmishes.
The position gained by General
Brabant at Dordrecht is reported to be
exceedingly strong. According to the
Times correspondent, the Boers' numbers
alone enable them to retreat from
Dordrecht, practically unhindered. He
also reports a' violation of a white flag by
the Boers, they having deliberately fired
at cIoeb range on a stretcher party.
General White's garrison has begun
to leave Ladyemith and is arriving at
the Mooi River camp, where the troops
will remain several days, after which
they will go farther south. They are
emaciated and exhausted and say the
road to Colenso presents ecenes that ex
ceed in horror those depicted in Dante's
Inferno. Dead men and animals are ly
ing mutilated and putrefying in the
trenches formerly occupied by the Boers,
and filling the air with a sickening
stench. In cases where hurried burials
had been attempted, the rains have
washed the earth away and out of the
earth stick ghastly legs and arms of dead
burghers.
A dispatch from Osfontein says that
according to the Boer prisoners, an im
portant British success will cause Presi
dent Steyne to flee to Pretoria, leaving a
provisional government at Bloemfontein,
which is likely to make peace overtures,
those Free Staters not wishing for peace
treking toward the Transvaal and help
ing to make a stand which most of the
Britieh military critics now point out
will constitute the most difficult and
deciding feature of the war.
The recent rains have afforded Robert b
