cation In the Philippines.
London, March 31.-The Speaker this
week, commenting upon the difficulties
of the Americans in the Philippines and
asserting that the new series of troubles
which is said to be inevitable, even after
the capture of Malolos, probably puts
an end to the Filipino republic, says:
ut must be noted throughout the
present struggle that the Filipinos have
put themselves in the wrong. The plea
that they were fighting in defense of
their rights does not hold good in the
case of Manila, which is the center of
European interests. 1t could not be
left to the mercy of the revolutionaries.
America, through no fault of her own
has become responsible for the good
government of the Philippines and is
bound to suppress Aguinaldo, as we
suppressed Arab Pasha, for the protec-
ton of European interests in Egypt 1t
may be possible hereafter to give the
Filipinos local self-goveInment, even
independence. but for the present it is
absolutely necessary to secure peace at
Manila for the maintenance Of the COM
merce of the islands. If. by threatening
this, the Filipino government made it.
self impossible, the fault lies with itself
and not with the United States, for the
present gallant troops in the newer west
are the manufactures of civilization and
Europe and are carrying on the war in
the interest of peace"

CONFERENCES HELD.
No New Information Relative to the
Samoan Crisis.

samoan Sf1Sls.
Washington. March 30.-The serious
condition of affairs in Samoa engaged
the attention of officials throughout the
day and there were conferences at the
white house between the president and
Secretary Hay, and at the state depart
ment between the secretary and the
British ambassador and Baron Won
Sternberg, first secretary of the Ger
man embassy. But out of it all not a
word of additional information was
contributed from any official source.
The only authoritative statement
came from the navy department, Civ
ing a brief dispatch from Admiral
KautZ. This threw no light on the lat
est outbreak. and. owing to a tangle Of
dates it served only to involve further
the mystery. In view of the fact that
the fighting was widespread and long
continued and the foreign office at Lon
don and Berlin had been officially ad-
vised of the affair, it was regarded as
somewhat strange that the state and
navy departments should be entirely
without information on a bombardment
by an American vessel Up to the close
of office hours it was stated that moth
ing had come from any of our repre-
sentatives in Samoa. dealing with the
outbreak of hostilites. The calls of Sir
Julian PauncefOte and Baron Sternberg
We're mainly for information, for at
neither of the emba Sses had there been
a report of the occurrence or instruc-
lions up to the time of the calls.

Refrains From Comment.

London March 31.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says: Pend
ing further information from Samoa,
the German press refrains from COM
ment calculated to embitter the con-
troversy or to imperil the pending ne
gotiations. The events that have oc-
CURED are deplored mainly because
they may influence public opinion adj
versely to the governments policy of
cultivating England's friendship. 1t
is feared they may give occasion to a
suspicious and mistrustful section of
the public to reproach the government
with the first fruits of its reapproach-
ment with England and the United
States On the other hand, no inclina-
ton exists to form a premature judg-
ment on the action of Admiral Kautz
and the British and American Off
Gals"

Washington, March 30.-The state de-

but the opinion is expressed that Kautz
acted on what was his best judgment,

agreement can be reached under the
treaty in which all three powers do not
agree and the hope is some settlement
of the difficulty may be brought about

Kautz acted within his instructions.
There is no doubt with the facts now
at hand Kautz will be sustained by
the United States government. No
