WILLIAM WILL YIELD.
Assures the United States and Great
Britain He VIII Not Uphold
Wrong In Samoa.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Germany has
informed the United States and Great
Britain that If her consul in Samoa
acted in the manner described by the
American and. British representatives
he acted without authority and she'will
disavow his action, but that she can do
nothing until full report has been re.
ceived. Germany does not mean it to be
understood that she disavows in ad-
vance of knowledge of all the facts the
course pursued by her consul. She may
uphold him. And, furthermore, she may
call upon the United States for an ex.
PLANTATION of the decision of Chief JUS
tice Chambers, and in any event will
urge its revision. It is admitted in all
quarters that blunder has been made.
If the German consul is responsible his
government will remove him, but if Mr..
Chambers decision was not proper then
a demand will be made by the German
government for his relief. Baron Won
Holleben called upon Secretary Hay,
armed with dispatches received by his
government from the German consul in
Apia, which show different state of
affairs than that indicated by the dis
patches sent by the American consul.

London, Jan. 23.-The Berlin corre-

good reasons for believing that the
German government regards the main

Britain and the United States as far
more important than even German
commercial Interests in Samoa. The
tone of the leading journals, therefore,
is on the whole, free from bitterness
or exaggeration. In a word there are
many indications that Germany will

More Fighting in the Congo.
Brussels, Jan. 23.-There has been

losses including some white officers

truth as to the situation in the Congo
state is being hidden. The losses of the

olympic Theatre.

Those IS no want To laugh and enjoy
two hours and a half of pure. unadul-
terated fun should certainly see the
breezy. up-to-date performance that
Manager Spitz offers to the patrons of
the Olympic Theatre this week THE
Air Ship" very properly termed an
amusing musical impossibiity," is the
creation of Joseph NJ. Gates, and is
certainly. as interpreted by the excel
lent company which is at the Olympic
this week. one of the brightest and
funniest things of the kind ever seen
in Providence.
AS can be naturally understood the
farce, If il IS a farce. serves only as a
vehicle to introduce "A lot OF sprightly
and very clever people, although. there
certainly is allusion made TO an air
ship from time to time, and excellent
reproduction of the aerial invention is
shown at the end of the second act.
This. however. is but an incident. and
the fact remains that during the three
acts there is not dull moment. New
and catchy songs, graceful dances,
witty dialogue. side splitting situations,
handsome costumes and elaborate seen
cry all combine to make up first-class
entertainment.
OF course the great success is brought
about by the excellence or the cast, ana
it is rare indeed to find so many peo-
pie who work together with such "A dash
and vim. but these do. Raymond Fin
lay as Johnny Wise, the inventor, is, of
course. the central figure. and as
comedian he is about as good as can
be desired. James Il. Kelly as Major
Tammany and Dan Welch as Noah
Lott, a Hebrew detective. help out the
fun without a break, and there is plenty
of IT, Lottie Burke as Nut is full of
ginger and is good dancer and singer,
but the palm belongs easily To Marie
Stuart, who as Biddia Binkham is SIM
ply immense.
Throughout the piece she kept the
house in roars of laughter by her funny
sayings and remarkable makeup" 1t
was i'm the third act, however, that she
showed herself TO be an artist of
marked ability for impersonations OF
French. German and Irish character
ization were some of the very best ever
seen here The chorus, composed of at
tractive young women, was more than
satisfactory, the comedians are very
good, and altogether THE Air Ship
cannot fail To be a great success.

balance of the week, afternoon and eve
ming. At the matinee on Wednesday.
