'Berlin, Apriil 29—The Ooghlan incident
at New York has Iwn very geenrally dis-
cussed by the German papers this week,
alth<*igh it is evident as stated by th
Associated Presjj corn'spondent here b
a responsible member of th government
that the Journalist mouth did not desire
to construe tho Ubjoctlorailbe •utterances
as anything more than the remarks
«. man who baa not been accustomed to
measuring his words.
For a day or two, however, a numeur
of the leading newspapers published se-
vere strictures on the case. With a view
to obtaining a declaration from govern-
mental headquarters the correspondent of
tho Associated Press hero sought aji In-
terview with privy Councilor Ilunnan, as
high official of the foreign office, Havting
been instructed by tho minister for for-
eign affairs. Baron Von Buelow, Coun-
cilor Hammon said:
"Bo far as tho foreign office knows,
tfhere never was a serious misundeirst an Cl-
ing between Ad nil rail Von Deidrichs and
Admiral Dewey, not «-veJi during t'he ear-
ly part olf lust summer. We will not de-
ny that there n y have been slight
bitches at first for the situation wa« a
dtffteult one. Admiral Dewey may possib-
ly have suspected for a time that Ad-
mirad Von Dr-ldrlchs was Intriguing with
t'he Spaniards at Manila, or that Ger-
many may have intended to tako a hos-
tile stand. This maj have been due to
certain evolutions of our shi-pe which
Admiral Dewey misconstrued. On the
other hand Admiral Von I) eld rich prob-
aibly felt the restrictions of a stringent
loknkabde, which grew til y hampered the
movements of his ships. This irksomo
position may h'nve tlrofl the 'patience
Admiral Von Deidrichs at times. This
we foeltewe, was the cause, c.lrcauf
Manila and Hollo, whatever unploasanc-
n«s gre.w out of this, never took a
jou8 complexion, and It was never so un-
derstood toy e'-ther party. All of this wa
over dong 'ago, and tbe grass has over-
grown It, Ever since the end of last sum
mer the reflations of Admiral Dewey an!
Admiral Von Defdrlchs have been of the
most pleasant character, and accordng
to the latest advices are so now, to th
extent of rendering mutual ®ervtces and
fraternizing on more than one occasion.
The same conditions exist at Samoa
•where, all reports to the contrary not
•withstanding, our advices show that nev
or since the trouble began have the re
lation's of the commander and crew of
the Oerman cruiser Pa-Ike and those of
the English and American vessels rea
ed to bo cordial and pleasant. This has
been tho case oapetfdally wltjh the Am-
erioans. mong the crow of t'he I nitcd
States cruiser Philadelphia .are a number
of German-Americans, and through tham
XrieiW'ly Intercourse came quite naturally
All our roports agreo on this point,
• "German residents of Apia," Councilor
•Hanrman continued, "especially mention
thait they had not had to suffer nearly
so much from the Americans on account
of ivassport regulations and other
like measures as from the British,
thanks to the more urbane methods of
the former.
OP NO IMPORTANCE
"R?*ardnlg the utterance* of Captain
Cdghlan, the government." Councilor
Hammon concluded, "has attached no
Importance to the Incident. The

(Copyright, 1K99 by the Associated Prniss.)
Tvondon, April 29—Th© 'Coghlan Incident
is caused considerable stir on this side
and has furnished the press with a fruit-
ful topic of discussion throughout the
week. The English papers have taken a
lenient view of Captain Cogfhan'S dis-
cretion, and, except In the case of one
or 'wo notoriously ant 1-American jour-
nals. have been disposed to find excuse
for him.
The Spectator In an article which Is
typical of English comment, says:
"Though w«• must join In the censures
o^ Captain Coghlan for hte Indiscretion
we must not forg®t that what he said
was substantially <n accordance with the
faets. Germans behaved at Manila In a
most Irrlttlni-' niwl lmfi-trnlly way tn the
1'nltefl VtetAi. It wtis absurd fnr th m
to fipprt to play tho part mllhout rnli.-
IliB n f( llnp of the most Ititfnt blttrr-
In such a splrltet!l bixly at mon
as tho oMem and sailors or the Ameri-
can navy- An explosion of this feeling
wan hound to come, sooner or later."
The Saturday Review. In an article
chiirncterlntlr of Its treatment of any-
thing concerning Americans says:
' 'Ted an Knsliflh Captain inado cap-
tain Coghlan's speech, if such n thlnj
Is < oiw'elvahlfl. or had a Oerman nfllcer
made It aliout Enaland. there w-.uld ha re

l>y the world HKe spoiled children We.
howiwer do not envy tho position of
Oapt Coirhlan, from which he can only
escape hy accepting an Imputation upon
his sdbrlety."
Tlie Speaker assumes that he thmjght
Captain C.gblan was nlklnir In confl-
dence to personal friend* and member^ .
of the T'nton club league and "let him-I
g0t nis heaviest punishment.1' j
the Speaker adds, "will not be any more j
than the seetetary of the navy can Inflict (
init the consciousness that he has unwit-
tingly done an Injury to his own cour
try."

Portland, Oregon, April 29.-President
A. L. Mohler, of the Oregon Railway and
Navigating company, at 3:30 o'clock tips
afternoon telegraphed the officials in this
city from Wardner, Idaho, tha tine strik-
ing miners had tired the Hunker Hid
and Sullvan mill and that It was burn-
ing. it i.« claimed that the mine is load,
ed with dynamite and If this proves true
the entire property will be a total loss.
The striking miners are also reported to
be In possession of the Northern Paci-
fic and O. R. and N. trains and in com-
plete control of the situation.
There are about 100 masked men hevlly
armed at and about the mill and there
have been several skirmishes with the au.
thoritles during one of which one man Is
reported shot.
There are fully SOO miners at Wardner.
They are forming to go to the mine In
a body and drive out the 270 non-union
men employed there.
The governor has promised to do every,
thing In his power to preserve order
and prevent bloodshed, but It Is believed
that unless prompt steps are taken ther«*
will b« great loss of life and destruction
of property.
Since the telegram from President Mo.
hler was received tht strikers hav>- cut
the wires and telegrapn communications
with Wardner is now cut off.
Spokane, Wash., April 29.—A. Ward-
ner. Idaho, special to the Spokesman
Review says:
"Wardner today has been the scene of
the worst riots since ihe deadly labor
war of 1S92. One ma«n is dead niujatn-r is
thought <to be mortally woundeJ and
property valued at 1260.000 has be<*n
destroyed by giant powder and fire. The
damage whs done by union men and
sympathizers from Canyon creek, about
20 miles from Wardner. This morning a
mob of 'from 800 to 1,000 men. all of them
armed and many of them masked, seiz-
ed a train at Burke, the head of Can-
yon creek. There were nine box cars and
a paa-'-nger coach and they were black
with th mob. The visitors brought with
them 3.000 pounds of glam powder. Af-
ter a parley of two hours 14" masked men
armed with Winchesters, Burke In the
lead, and Wardner following, started with
yells for the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mUl and other buildings a third of a
mile from the depot. They sent pickets
ahead and one of the pickers fired a shot
as a signal that the mill was deserted
This was misunderstood by the main
body of the mob who Imagined that non-
union miners in the hills had opened on
them and they began firing on their own
pickets. About 1,000 shots were thus ex-
changed between t'he rioters and the r
pickets and Jack Smith, ono of -tho
pickets, formerly of British Columbia,
and a noted figure in drill contests, was
shot dead. The fatal error was diseov-
ede after a few seconds firing a: d Smith's
body brought down from the hllMd.
B.v this time the striker* had tak<n
possesion qf the Bunker Hill and Sul-
livan mill which they found d.sert.d,
the manager having directed the em-
ployes not to risk their live* by battb g
with the mob. Powder was called for
and fiu pound boxs wte carried from
the depot to the mill. The heavy charge
(was plac d under the brick office building
Other charges were placed around the
mill. Then the boarding house, a frame
structure, was fired. Kuses leading to the
charge: wero lighted, and the strik rs.
a frying the dead body of their picket,
retired to a safe distance. At 2:38 p. m.,
the ill.st blast went off. It shook tho
d for miles and building In \Nard-
ner. -two miles away trembled. At in-
tervals of about 00 seconds four other
charges went off, the fifth b«-lng the
largest and completely d< mollshed the
mill. The lojts to the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan company !s estimated at from
$2:>0,«i00 to $300,000.
In a few minute® the strikers went back
to the station, the Whistle was * blown
for stragglers, the mob soon,, climed
aboard and at 3 o'clock, just three hours
after Its arrival, tbe train pulled out for
Canyon Creek.
During the fusilade from the guns of
the mob Jim Chayne, a Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mill man, was severely shot
through the hips. It Is reported t' at he
was carried off by the wrikers and his
wound Is probably fatal. This morning
the 230 non-union miners at tho Bunker
Hill and Sullivan had warning of the
mob and left the mine and took to the
hills. They have not been seen since.
I'nlon men working in tho Last Chance
left the mine this morning, pr«rjutnaMy
to take part in the riot.

FIVE
CAUj FOR FEDERAL TROOPS
Boise, Ida.. April 29.—The action of the
union miners in taking of Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mines at Wardner Is lock-
ed upon as a very grave matter l y (lie
slat.- officials. Qov. Steunberg has be.-n
sick In bed three days and Is unable 'o
give serious attention to the problem,
though lie keeps In consultation iv'tl
other state officers. He sent Stat
Auditor Sinclair nnr'.h with authority to
represent him. Th<- governor decline
make any statemen . but it is ujh -rstood
that he is resolved to exhaust every r<
source in enforcing the law.
The enlisting of .-olunteers entirely
wiped out the state militia but steps ar
being taken to preiure the remnants {■ ■
service. The governor has notified Pr>
Ident McKinley of the situation and that
it may be necessary to call 'for federal
aid.
Tonight the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine is closed. When It will be re openedl
is something that no body can say With
the mill wrecked It to han
die the ore product/. «it the mine work-
ings. Th«> last chance is likewise closed
n. It has been getting power from the
Bunker Hill mine and the destruction of
those works will absolutely prevt nt the
Last Chance from working for the next
three months. Meanwhile the total work,
ing force of the town is laid ff.
The wrecking of the mill plant Involves
the livelhood of tf<H) men. The Bunk- r
Hill mine up to tne time of the ctrlke
has been working 300 men and th«' mill
90, while the Last Chance altogether em-
ployed 160.
