EXCITEMENT At LONDON.
Trcacherous Ambush Denounced. Germany S
Position Criticized

London. April 12.-The outbreak in Sa-
moa, just when the powers had agreed
upon the appointment OF a commission to
settle the difficulties there, has cause
great annoyance and disappointment ut
the foreign office here. where it is regard
ed as making the already serious compli-
cations still graver. While they have diff
ficulty in expressing a definite opinion
upon the fresh developments. II is
acknowledged that the foreign Office Off
Gals think it has been manifested that
there has been hasty and aggressive ac-
ton upon the part of Herr Rose, the Ger
man consul. Although he may have tech
niCal reasons for the part he has played
in behalf of German interests. it IS as
serted that he has been the prime cause
of the fresh outbreak. which. it is added,
will necessarily greatly embarrass the en-
deavors which the three powers are max
ing to restore a satisfactory and amicable
state of affairs.
The foreign office officials appear %
think that ii was obviously the duty OF
the three consults to uphold the decision
of the supreme court. which, according

A New Advertisement
We Wish 10 Place Our
selves Right.

Overwhelming consignments of
Strawberries, Herrings, Dressed
Lambs and Radishes forces us to pre-
maturely change our advertisement.
We do not advertise as Commission
Merchants.
We keep grocery on Fayetteville
street and sell the surplus produce
raised in "Geranium Valley" in the
shop.
We do not intend to say we raise
Herrings and Dressed Lambs in THE
Valley but there are limits even to
the sale of those seasonable products.
: Because we advertise Herring for
sale is no reason for thinking we
could dispose of the entire output of
the Atlantic Ocean. Green, Peas and
Caper Sauce are proper accompani-
ments with Spring Lamb, but we can
not persuade our customers to buy
unlimited young Goats with tissue pa
per painted in white oil stretched over
them as finest Spring Lamb.
We do not doubt our advertisements
are often confusing, frequently we do
not recognize them, the spelling, the
grammar and the general style has
been changed. The proof reader and
the compositor each have apparently
taken a hand to make it read accord
ing to their idea of what it should be.
We do. however. hope that hereafter
everyone will understand that we do
not solicit consignments, especially
those of Herrings, Strawberries
Spring Lambs and Radishes.
We have Berkshire Pigs, Cabbage
Tomato. and Sweet Potato Plants and
