WASHINGTON, April 11.-There was no
effort made at the State Department yes
terday morning to deny or even to evade
an answer concerning the report that an
agreement had been entered into by the
United States and Germany respecting
the presence Of war vessels in Samoan
waters. After consultation with his
father and with the German Minister,
Count Arco, who was at the State Depart
ment, Mr.. Walter Blaine stated that an
amicable understanding between the
German and American governments had
been entered into. England" said Mr..
Blaine, will undoubtedly follow the ex-
ample of the other two nations. The
three treaty powers will each keep bat
one vessel at Samoa until the termina-
ton of the conference at Berlin. The
Alert. the small American gun-boat, now
at Honolulu, will represent our Govern
ment at Apia, while the Sophie, the Ger
man corvette, recently ordered to Samoa,
will represent Germany"
1t is probable that the Calliope, will
represent Great Britain.
