Liberian uprising described as comic in report
Berlin April 1 The disturbance between natives and the Liberian government is called more comic than serious by the German gunboat Sperber’s commander who arrived at Cape Palmas February 2. He offered to disperse insurgents but Gen Padmore declined. Government troops fired desultorily while insurgents replied. Cape Palmas residents resumed ordinary work as the Sperber left February 3. The admiralty says the Liberian claim of Sperber’s departure is false. The Sperber notes insurgents are not likely to attack Cape Palmas while the Liberian ship Lark is in port.
