Berlin. April 6.--United States Am
bassador White and Herr Won Buelow,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, had a con-
ference lasting two hours yesterday.
In an interview an official of the
Foreign office expressed the Govern
ment's profound satisfaction at the
acceptance of the American Govern
ment of Germanys proposition for the
settlement OF the Samoan trouble by
Il conference OF the three Powers.
Germany was convinced that al
though sections of the German and
American press were being duped by
false news from English resources,
the friendliness OF the German and
american relations would remain I'M
disturbed.
What advantage, he asked. would
America obtain by Germany's retire
ment from Samoa, leaving America
alone with England?
The Chauvinist press violently cen
sures Herr Won Buelow's presumed
lack of firmness.
The Deutsche Tageszeitung declares
that he must first demand satisfaction
for the breach of the Samoan act, and
only after this has been accorded car
there be any question of friendly ne
gotiatioDs.
London. April 5.--Lord Salisbury
has accepted Germans proposal of q
tripartite commission to settle the
Samoan difficulty.
AS the United States Government
has already expressed itself favorable
to the proposal. England's agreement
makes the appointment of the com
mission certainty.

ceivsd at Manila and Maiolos = Fears
That 1t May Not Reach Natives In the
Interior.
Manila April 6.--North of Calumpit
which was occupied yesterday by
General Macarthur, the natives are
massed in heavy force. apparently
prepared to make final stand against
the American advance to San Fer
nando.
The enemy is partially protected at
both points by wide but shallow
rivers, and in his position north of
Calumpit is strongly entrenched.
The two new Krupp guns, one six
inch and the other an eight-inch, found
at Malolos. will be mounted and used
in the coming fight.
General MacArthur's whole force is
now encamped north of Maloios,
which was found TO be badly supplied
with water.
One man of the Montana Regiment
was killed and three wounded in yes
terdays reconnaissance by which Cal
umpit was occupied.
Aguinaldo is believed to be at San
Fernando. though 1t was supposed he
was nearer the American forces yes
terday, and the massing of troops is
ascribed to his personal influence.
The Red Cross flag. which should
protect its bearer from attack, has
been most persistently fired upon by
the natives from the first. This has
exasperated the American troops
much. 1t now appears that the Fill
pinos supposed it to be the battle flag
of the enemy.

the manager of the Neptune Company
announcing that IL Is not possible to
raise and repair the vessels OF Ger

In the case of the Colon the COM

will guarantee expenses in the event
of failure. The wreck, except on ex-
ceptionally calm days, cannot even be

ing. OF course you must be sober and
temperate. OF course you must i'm
prove yourself, and be better man or
woman at 2S than you are at is. You
must keep your ideals bright before
you. 1t isn't alone that the great
things must be done we'll Perhaps no
great things will ever come to be done
to some of us. II is doing the small
things well. 1t is mastering each thing
as we go along 1t is leaving no flaws
in the thing done.
Let us retain all our lives the hearty
respect for our teachers and leaders,
They are chosen from the best minds of
the day. They devote themselves with
enthusiasm to a noble profession They
have given up the pecuniary profits
which come to successful business. No
great dividends or earnings in money
come to them. They SOW the grain
which others reap and their reward
should be in the gratitude of the pupil
and the community; their harvest is the
success and honor which you achieve,
Always recognize it. Be always willing
to respect and follow the leader and
the teacher when you get out into the
world. Don't stop learning from any
one that can teach you, wherever you
find the instructor.
Democracy is the best and highest
form of government, but its foundation
lies in the good sense of the people. If
this does not exist, it is built on the
sand and not on the rock. If they do
not select their leaders wisely democ-
racy cannot succeed. We get to rely
too much in time of prosperity and
peace upon popularity as the test of
leadership. 1t is no more the test of a
good leader than of a good teacher. We
need the man who is wise when we are
ignorant, who can point out what we
do not see, who is firm and sure when
we WaVer, who has prepared himself to
solve what perpleXes us.
When we speak of a school, we ask
who is at its head, because we know if
it's principal is man of vigor and ca
pacity the school will surely show eX-
cellent results. Isn't it just the same
with a state or nation? Mr.. Roosevelt
talks about a strenuous age, and we
are all eager to bring it around, Not by
going out and killing somebody; not by
taking human beings as targets for our
shot and shell; not by abandoning law
and arbitration, and making war; but
in all the friendly rivalry of our sports,
in all the athletic training Of our gym
nasium, in recreation and in work, we
need the manly, earnest, Christian
youth. This country was full of them
before the last war 1t will be full of
them when war shall be no more. If
you will ally yourselves with such
forces and live such lives as these, you
will take your diploma of success in the
future from the great world, as you do
today from a generous and proud city
in this presence of your applauding
friends.
