FIVE DESPERATE BURGLARS.
Four Captured After a Hard Nights
Work In Which They Got no Plunder.

BRIbGEPoRT, CT. Feb. IA gang of burglars
visited Newtown last night and made a whole
sale raid ON the town, but without securing any
plunder. The gang. consisting of five men,
made a desperate effort to enter the vault OF
the Newtown savings bank. The next place
visited was G. Ii. Gray's carriage shop near the
depot. Here they forced an entrance through
the door, secured the tools they required and
then blew open the safe. The explosion wrecked
the safe and tore out one end of the building.
There was
NOTHING IN THE SAFE OF VALUE.
They then went to the other savings bank,
battered down the door and made fruitless
attempt to blow open the vault. The explosion
aroused Thos. Riley, who lives next door.
Riley raised a window and saw five men make
their escape in the direction of Waterbury.
The officials of that town were notified by tele-
graph, and the burglars were met by the police
as they were alighting from freight train, and
after desperate struggle, in which revolvers
were used, four of them were captured. They
are rough and surly looking gang. The
bank offered $500 for their capture.

WHERE SAMOA BELONGS.

The Monroe Doctrine has no application to
the Samoan complications. The group of
islands which Germany is anxious to control is
in the South Seas On the track of steamers ply
ing between San Francisco and Australia but
long way from the American Continent.
Roughly speaking, the Hawaiian Islands mark
the beginning and the Samoan Islands the end
of the second Of three nearly equal stages of
the journey. Australia and New-Zealand are
directly interested in the future of Samoa. 1t
lies within their sphere of activities and am
billions, and is outside Of the normal circle Of
American interests. IL the United States has
acquired treaty rights there and is entitled to
the enjoyment of commercial privileges it may
be necessary to enter into serious diplomatic
controversies with Germany and England re-
specting these islands in the South Seas; but
neither the Monroe Doctrine nor traditional
diplomatic policy involves the necessity Of
American Intervention in their domestic affairs
There has been scramble for territorial ac-
QUESTIONS in that quarter during the last dec
ade, England, France and Germany having
either coveted or seized one island after an
other. America ought not to compete with
those Powers in rivalries that lie outside of its
own sphere of activity.
Great Britain and Germany, having been
unable to reconcile their claims to Samoa and

Nod % tbe American Consul. That is fairly
accurate description of what has been going on
for saveraI wears The English Consul has
uniformly taken sides with the American
against the German Consul from the Premier
shin Of Stenberger in the ISLANDS, thirteen
wears AGO. The various demands for an Ameri-
con nrotectorate the cession OF coaling sta

enallx Grecnbaun's fantastic performance in

nanv adroit nlanoeuvres in the diplomatic
game played by England and Germany. In
cur Judgment, American intervention ia ga
moan affairs has been ill-adylsed and msdi-

Erronean maritime Powers were annexing
islands and proclaiming protectorates wherever
tbav could find Judgment for their flags should
have warned the United States against being
drawn into a scramble in which it did not be-
long.
Germany unquestionably has been seriously
at fault In instigating rebellion against King
with whom II had made treaties. 1t has pir-
sued policy of wanton interference with the
domestic affairs Of the islands in dethroning
one monarch and setting up another, and in
overriding treaty obligations and the plainest
warrants of international law. we do not ac-
quit Prince Bismarck and his admirals and
diplomatic agents. nor complain OF any Just
and equitable circumstances that have been
made by the State Department. But
we cannot help feeling that there
has been ili-advised and msdirected
zeal in the control Of American diplo-
matte interests in that quarter. Samoa was in
tended by nature to be an Australian rather
than an American dependency and 1t has be-
come a prize for which the maritime Powers
eagerly contend in their diplomacy. President
Monroe was as emphatic in warning Americans
against entangling themselves In the broils Of
Europe as he was in excluding foreign Powers
from interference in the affairs OF this Con-
tinent. BY series Of bunders and misfort-
unes the United States has become entangled'
in the Samoan "broils."
