Washington, March 23.-The German

the Samoan situation. The Berlin an
thorities have communicated very freely
on the subject within the last few days.
and as result of extended dispatches
from the Foreign Offices the Ambassa-
dor has presented Il long note covering
the latest phases of the case. 1t is un-
derstood that the German advices con-
firm the arrival of Admiral kautZ, and
the convoISing by him of a meeting of all
the officials on the 18th instant. But
they do not show what resulted from
the meeting. All their reports are silent
thus far ON this point, but the German
view is evidently one of apprehension
lest serious results may grow out Of the
meeting. in which event the German view
is that the responsibilities should be
borne by those bringing about the meet
ing. Further than this, questions are
arising as to the extent of authority of
the British and American Consuls act-
ing together TO do anything without the
concurrence of Consul Rose of Germany.
The German view evidently holds that
the Berlin treaty requires the three con-
suls to act unanimously. and not through
n majority. Another question is as to
the right naval commander to take any
political action The Berlin treaty in
their view would limit the rights of naval
commanders within very narrow limits.

three consuls, by unanimous agreement
determine upon. These are the main
points engaging attention, and in view
Of the questions involved news of Ad-
lniral Kautz' action following the meet

much interest and not little concern.
Admiral Kautz has sustained fully

themselves much better off. and free
from the control of men who have
taken practical possession of their prop

fender of these mems methods in the

ways been present at conventions to tell
the growers what to do in order to Sc
cure portion of the profits and have
led them into their present situation by
the advice given them.
He had no personal feeling against
them. They We're all nice gentlemen
and friends of his, but he did not like
their methods. Is it not strange, he
said, that they are not here? Does
any one believe that if they were not
in sense guilty of the charges made
against them, or if they possess the
ability to make such explanation as to
clear themselves, they would be here? !?
Neither Mr.. Earl nor Mr.. Porter ever
come to these conventions to defend
themselves against the charges so
often made against them. If they
can, it is queer that they are not here.
1t is we'll understood that all men who
accumulate wealth by methods within
