WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S-The course of
Bayard with reference to Samoa is likely to
lead to the disruption of the cabinet. Whit
ney Is chafing under the inactivity of his de-
partment through lack of an avowed policy
by the state department. The publication of
Whitney's correspondence has created con-
siderable public sentiment in the matter,
and puts Bayard on the defensive. A rumor
is current here that either Whitney or Bay-
ard will resign within the next few days, the
report even going so far as to say that the
resignation is already offered to the presi-
dent
While the truth of these runlors is un-
known at present, the strained condition of
affairs in the cabinet is undoubtedly the
cause of their circulation, and developments
for the next few days are watched with un-
usual interest.
Congressman Guerther, of Wisconsin. is
the most prominent representative German
American in congress. He has no hesita-
ton in declaring for the United States
against Germany, all along, in war as well as
in peace.
There is going to be no war;" says Guen-
ther. "The two countries are too far apart
to make fight possible No hostile shot will
ever be exchanged in Samoan waters or
elsewhere between men of-war sent there by
Bismarck and Uncle Sam American citizens
of German birth and German descent will
work for our country in time of peace and
fight for it in time of war, if time of war
should ever come. When say our country,
mean, of course, our adopted country, the
United States of America.
After passing through the crucible of
naturalization we are no longer Germans,
we are Americans. Our attachment to
America cannot be measured by the length
of our residence here. We are Americans
from the moment we touch the American
shore until laid in American graves, We
will fight for America whenever necessary;
America fl st, last and at all times. America
against Germany, America against the
world. America right or wrong, always
America. We are Americans"

ZANZIBAR, Jan. 26.-Rev. Mr.. Brooks, an
English missionary and sixteen of his assist
ants and followers have been massacred near
Sadaani by some of the coast tribes and ma

a great sensation. The massacre shows the
extent of the hatred to the whites that the

men, the German officer sent further orders
to Mataafa to surrender, and he told them
that they had attacked him, and he would
fight to the death. Then the Germans had
wild debauch in the town. About two
hundred sailors and marines got drunk and
charged through the town, doing all sorts Of
wanton damage The destroyed lot of
housbs in Apia owned by Americans and
stabbed an American named Snyder.
There was an American negro named
Brooks, who had boat. They
chased him, and though he dis
played the American flag in his boat and
said he was an American, they sail "all mig
gers are rebels" and arrested him. He was
released little while afterward After De-
cember 2S, the Germans evidently began to
fear that Mataafa would makeand aggressive
fight, for they became very careful, and the
men were not allowed to come on shore.

The Cologne Gazette's Opinion.

BERLIN, Jan. 26-The Cologne Gazette
declares that there is no occasion to fear that
the excellent relations between Germany and
America are in danger of undergoing any
radical change. 1t says:
Comparatively little Importance is to be
attached to the last acts of an American
government about to quit office Under the
presidency of Mr.. Harrison complete
clearance of Mr.. Cleveland's official staff be-
comes unavoidable. Mr.. Cleveland's most
recent steps, therefore, have lost their i'm
portance, and his actions are in no way
binding upon Mr.. Harrison From the in
telligence received here, it is evident that the
American government treats the Samoan
question in a spirit hostile to Germany and
on basis of incorrect supposition. It is in
correct to speak of violation by Germany
OF actual agreements between the treaty
powers, as no treaty was ever concluded be-
tween Germany, Great Britain and America
in regard to Samoa, while on the other hand
such treaty does exist between Germany
and England. The excitement in America is
therefore incomprehensible. Mr.. Bayard
has declared that he does not know whether
Klein is an American subject, but neverthe-
less he is responsible for Kleins misdeed."
