Officially It was pointed out to tho correspondent of tho Associated Press that the figures all along quoted In the American press arc wrong. The corrert indemnity figures are thoso the correspondents here of the Associated Press cabled to tho Associated Press, April 13, showing Russia's demands to bo marks, Franco 260,000,000 marks, Germany 210,000,000, the United States etc.

Germany's official figures presented to the Reichstag show that Germany has already spent more than tt aska. Tho above figures certainly do not Includo the private claims put forth by tho various powers. How largo they will bo nobody yet knows, because they aro uncol-latcd and unprescnted. Papers here question whether the United States spent marks. They also point out that the transportation of the German troops such a long dlstnnco was expensive, refer to the murder of Baron von Ketteler, and say that tho fact that Count von Waldersnc was appointed commander-in-chief of tho allied forces rendered It necessary for Germany to send a proportionate contingent.

Quite (Jnexplnlnnhlr, They Sny. The view prevails here that tho American reproaches and Intimations against Germany nre unjust. Official circles here bay thny arc unablo to account for "tho systematic ill will In the matter shown by tbo Unitod States prtss." The correspondent of the Associated Press hns Interviewed a high official, who said nothing was known here officially In regard to tho alleged combination, of tho United States, France and Russia to compel Germany to reduco her China claims. "Tho wholo story Is absurd," he said. "If tho claims' must be scaled, Russia shou'd be tho first to begin, since she makes tho largest claim.

Germany can verify tho correctness of hers, murk by murk." Discussing tho sources of China's borrowings the official referred to said; "The United States authorities have been Informed that many rich private Chlnem aro ready to lend money to tho government. It Is also that American and French Investors would do so, and perhaps English nnd German money will be forthcoming. Thero can ho no question of ono nation taking advantage through lending money to China." limpiTiir Vlnlta Ilia Mntlirr. CRONBERO, April 27.

In letter dated at Savannah, March 29, 1SG2, General Grant wrote: All the Hlnndrrx you have corn ngalnst inn originated iiway from where I wns. The only foundation wns from the fact that I wan ordered to remain at Fort llrnry hiiiI send the exnodltlon under Major Oen-oral Smith. Thin wni ordered because General llnlleck received no report from mo for nearly two weokH ufter tho fall of Fort Donelsnn. The samo occtined with me. I received nothing, from htm.

The comrquence was I apparently totally disregarded his orders. The fact was, he was ordering me every day lo report tho condition of my command. I wnH not receiving tho orders, but knowing my duties nnd reporting dnlly, nnd when anything occurred to make It necessary two or three times a day. When I was ordered to remain behind It was the cause nf much astonishment nmotiR the trnopx nf my rommnnd, anil also disappointment. I never allowed a word of contradiction tn go nut from my headquarter.

You need have no fear but what I will enmo out triumphantly. I am pulling no wlroB, ax political generals do, tn odvnnce myxelf. I bavo no futun nmbltlori. My object to carry nn my part nf this war successfully, and I am perfectly willing thnt others mav mnke all the glory they can out nf It. ftLYSSEH, CHARGE? ELECTION FRAUDS St.
