TRIAL FOR VON PUTTKAMER Governor of German Cameroon Ac- eased of Grosa Brutality to African Native. RERUN, Jan. 6. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Herr von Puttkamer. governor of the German Cameroons, has been recalled to answer charges of gross brutality to na tives. It will be remembered that a great deal has been made of this matter pub. licly In the Reichstag. Kresh developments ' show' that the" half has never been told so far as the public at tack In the Reichstag were concerned Among other charges It is asserted that Captain von Besser alone was responsible for the death from starvation of hundreds of natives. The captain was In charge of an expedition In the Cameroons, composed of native troops In the service of the gov ernment. A German lieutenant Is quoted as stating that at the time that these natives were dying provisions were easily obtainable, but that the captain refused to allow supplies to be bought. When other officers asked the reason for the prohibition the captain re plied that he wanted the native pigs to die and that In allowing them to die be was only pleasing his government. According to the atory the victims remained unhurled and their bodies were devoured by vultures. Right In line with this are the charges brought against Governor Horn of Togo land. A native who was accused of stealing money and refused to confess was fright' fully flogged, It is said. After refusing seoond time to confess Governor Horn caused him to be tied to a stake under a hot sun and Issued orders that no one was to Ims allowed to give him any water or other wise relieve his sufferings during his nb sence. He then went away and later on Captain Doerlng and another officer found the native dead. It Is significant that no punishment has been Inflicted on Horn.

(Special Cablegram to The liie.j Ii begins to appear as though thciu might be a revival of "Jew-baiting in Vienna, and, in fact, throughout Austria and Hungary. The Jews say that they will not allow Dr. Lueger't recent speech to pans unchallenged. Meetings of protest are being called and the Jewish press is almost unanimous In condemnation of the burgo master' "warning" as an incitement to racial and religious Intolerance, If nut to pillage and murder. The Chrlbtlan socialists and antl-8emitic newspapers are not slow In taking advan tage of this Jewish agitation against Pr I.ueger. They picture him. us an unoffend ing victim of Semitic hatred. Even Ir, Lurger himself Is worried over the situa tion. In an Interview he says that he was not understood ln his "warning." He says that he does not wish the Jens to lie pil laged or murdered taut all that he advises Is that his Christian fellow citizens should buy nothing in the Jewish shops.
