The Officially With Germany.

II is not probable that we will be hurried
into war with Germany by reason Of the
Samoan compli ;ations, particularly as there
seems TO be nojust grounds for resort to such
an extreme measure Secretary Bayard, &C.
cording to the Baltimore Sun, says that Ger
many has given this country no cesus tell,
that our flag has not been insulied or Ameri-
can property destroyed and that the whole
question is /: Shall this country assert the in
dependence Of Samoa by force of arms, if
need be, against German aggression As
this involves the question of peace and war,
the determination of hch resides with Con-
gress, the whole subject has been referred to
that body, the President not feeling authori-
zed to take further steps which might pre-
cipitate hostilities.
A Washington special dispatch TO the Bal.
timore Sun gives the following version of the
alleged indignity TO the American flag
1t says:
The tattered remnants of the flag said to
nave been fired upon by the Germans was re-
ceived at the State Department to-day. 1t
was not the flag at the American Consulate,
but happened to be in a little village which
was being shelled by the Germans The viii
lage took FIRE and the flag was partially burn
ed. 1t was not hoisted in assertion of any
American rights and was not fired upon or
insulted. Besides, the German Government
has expressly disclaimed any intention OF
giving this country cause of otfense An
other story which has excited good many
patriots is, that United States Marshal in
Samoa was beaten by the Germans Inyesti-
CATION shows that the incident was the out
growth offs personal quarrel originating in
the too free use OF liquor.
lfMr. Blaine were Secretary Of State this
country might, right or wrong, very soon be
involved in war with one of the most pow
erful nations In the. world, but fortunately the
interests as well as the honor of our country
are safe in the hands Of President Cleveland
and Secretary Bsyard.
A war with Germany about the indepen.
dence of islands in the South Pacific ocean
would be In direct opposition to the Monroe
doctrine, which has, for the last sixty or
seventy years, been the policy of our govern

the United States will neither entangle her
