The President Friday transmitted tC

tive to Samoan affairs. 1t appears from
| this correspondence that the State De
partment had been officially advised 81
! IA declaration Of war by Germany against
| Mataafa, and that advices had been receiy
| ed from consul Blackjack to the t fret that
Germany had placed the Samoan Islands
under martial law, which was equivalel t
to their military occupation. Mr.. i1ayard,
| at once Informed the German government
that the German officials in Samoan would
be required to scrupuiously abstain from
all interference with American citizens
and that no jurisdiction over them or their
property would be consented by this coua-
{ ty.
Prince Bismarck replied Friday tina. all
foreigners in Samoan had bean plaeel un-
der submission of martial law. but that in
his opinion this was an undue exercise of
military authority. Therefore ms rue
tion had been given to withdraw thai part
Ct the proclamation; and furthermore the
request Of the German Counsel at Strnoa
to have the administration of the islands
temporarily put in his charge, pauding the
negotiations with Mataafa, had been re-
fused as inyolveDg a violation of previous
promises regarding the neutrality indie.

Death # Crown Prince Rudolph.

LEAN crown EflnC6 huQOtpD.
Crown Prince Rudolph. of Austria. was
found dead in his room at Myerling, where
h5 had gone with several friends to engage
iu a hunt, on the morning of the 31st llt
He had been in ID cheerful mood III the
evening, aid retired TO his room after
parting with several friends who had &C.
cJmpaDitu him. Usually he left his room
door unlocked. On this occasion it was
locked, and his servant discovered that he
was dead, after making all entrance. The
| circumstances attending the sad event.
aroused Suspicion. and further inyeStiga-
ton, it IS said, after his remains had been
taken TO Vienna, disclosed bullet hole in
| his right temple. Enquiry was instituted,
and it was learned that a pistol WAS found
| in his right hand, with one chamber dis
charged, which clearly indicated that he
nad committed suicide. He had periods
9f melancholy, probably growing out OF
| bis irregular habits. These Irregular
| Ties caused arrangement between him
self and wife, and had it lot been for their
position and rank, she would have sought
| a divorce.
| He left one child, a little daughter.
Consequently the heir to the throne is
now the Kings brother. The Prince was
| highly cultured, popular with the people
and all the courts of Europe. Much feel
| ing was manifested at the news of the
| Prince 5 death, and many assurances of
| sympathy were transmitttd from all the
powers of the ciyiiiZei world. He was not
| favoIite with Prince Bism arck, OF Prus-
STA, and thus another Of his enemies has
| been removed.
Another sensational report comes from
Myerling to the effect that beautiful
| young baroness committed suicide by
taking poison at that place, at the same
| time the Crown Prince took his life. The
tWo acts were committed almost sinful
taneously.
