The Proposed Samoan Conference ut Der.
lln-Dayard Sharply Criticised.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 1O.-Mr.
sewall, late Consul General at Samoa,
talked freely to-day in regard to the pro.
posed Samoan conference at Berlin.
Among other things he said: "Consider
the genesis Of the conference IL is pro.
posed to renew. 1t was summoned by
our Secretary OF State; 1t assembled at
our Capital on the acknowledged basis
OF an equality OF rights OF these three
treaty powers, Of which We were the
first. It's object was the preservation OF
Samoan autonomy upon which all our
national aud commercial interests in Sa.
moa depend.
While the conference was yet uncon.
cluded, with no notice to this Govern
nent, the German ships came to Samoa
and took possession OF the islands in
violation OF the understanding on which.
the pending negotiations were proceed.
ing. II the conference is to be renewed
at all 1t should be renewed under Condi.
tions as favorable to US as those which
attended It's iniation. The status ante.

Malietoa, for whose deposition
We arc morally responsible, should
be returned from exile, and II should
meet here where 1t was interrupted and
where our representative would be free
from the peculiar influences now at
work at Berlin. But were the sugges.
tiops OF Mr., Bayard in his letter to the
German Minister made conditions pre-
Cedent to the re.assembling OF the con.
ference, we might even then enter upon
the conference with something Of our
national dignity saved.
The position maintained in the con.
ference by Mr.. Bayatd has not, believe,
been criticised. That the independence
OF the islands should be maintained and
equality Of rights Of commerce and
navigation secured for the subjects OF
tue treaty powers was agreed upon.
Our rights are not enlarged by this,
but only confirmed. But hav-
ing secured this recognition OF
our rights Mr.. Bayard rested.

CINCINNATI, o., Feb, lO.-Henry 10
Caron, the iniormer in the Parnell case
in London, is not unknown in Clncin.
natl, There are two Irishmen here who
are personally acquainted with him, and
know, through an intimacy keptalive by
himself for several years, Of many OF his
shady transactions, by means Of which
he attempted to implicate not only
them, but many others In most sensa-
tional plots,
All Of tho delegates here last week to
attend the meeting Of the Executive
Council OF the Irish National League
were bitter In their denunciations OF an
adventurer who would resort to such
deceltful subterfuges us lie Caron is now
known to have used, aud one who would
conCoct desperate revolutionary plots
himself and then propose their exeCu.
ton to men whose souls were wrapped
upin a cause 10 them holy.
The men in this city 10 whom lie
Caron Is personally known are Thomas
Sheedy and Captain George Sweeny,
both OF whom concur in the opinion
that he Is IN exceedingly accomplished
adyenturer Of the most dangerous type.
They describe Le Caron as being OF
very smooth appearance and pleasing ad.
dress, always weighing well his deliberate
words, but not one to command the
least confidence In his claims to
eminent responsibility or in tho
cock.and.buIl stories he would tell
Of his exciting experiences. He
had a way Of inspecting one In Conver.
sation with him with suspicious glances
which lent an air Of righteousness to
his actions and conversation. He was
simply q hanger.on at the convention,
and the little respect paid him was due
to his false claim that he was going to
accompany General James O'Neil.
