TO STAND BY KAUTZ.
The Admiral's Action In samoa Il SAT-
isfnctory and He IL Upheld
by the Government.

Washington, Apri. IA. Admiral
Kautz' actions in Samoa, as far as they
are set forth in the, official dispatches,
are approved. He was instructed by the
last mail steamer from Auckland to
avoid needless collisions, but to protect
property and life, until the three treaty
powers decided how to deal with the
situation. No further instructions have
yet been sent to him, and if any go for
ward by cable within the next "a hours.
which is the limit of time available if
the outgoing steamer is to be caught
at Auckland, they will be simply rep
etltlon of former orders. Department
officials point out that from accounts
so far received the admiral appears to
have acted in conjunction with the
British forces only in pursuance of the
policy of defense of foreign interests.
It is expected that he will not abate
his efforts to secure the restoration of
peace, and it is probable that when
the high commission arrives at Apia it
will find it's work facilitated through
the suppression of the rebellion.
Washington, April 15.-After hearing
Friday morning from the British and
German embassies, the state depart
ment was enabled to announce positive
ly and finally that the three parties to
the Berlin treaty had agreed upon the
instructions to be given their Samoan
commissioners, and that it was certain
that the commission would leave San
Francisco on the 25th inst. for Samoa
on the Badger.

Sheridan, Wyo., April 15.-The food
has subsidized for the present, but the
damage caused by high water has been
enormous. The people are trying to
figure up the loss of life and property.
AS far as definitely known all the dead
are Grow Indians, and the number is
placed at %. The city has lost five
bridges, and has only three left. These
are Of iron, and are located in favorable
positions. Main street is cut in two by
the loss of the bridge, as is Broadway
and Fifth avenue. The northern por-
ton of the city was under water, caus-
ing the inhabitants of that portion to
vacate their homes, many of them hav-
ing to wade waist deep in water to reach
places of safety. No greater flood was
everknown in this country, and the foot
hills and mountains are still covered
with an enormous quantity of snow
that will cause high water during the
hot months .-t

For many centuries it has been til

FOR many centuries it has been the
common belief that salt and much of it
is necessary to the human system. Few
people are aware that on an average
the food we eat contains sufficient of
the mineral for all ordinary purposes.
Many physicians, on the contrary. are
! now tending ending to the belief that salt is
moderately if not highly, deleterious

animals require it in large quantities,
out this does not hold for the human
race. Sailors, who are confined almost
entirely to the use of salty food, suffer
Ais unspeakable on long voyages.

EASTER lilies formed no part of the
Easter decorations this year in St.
Johns Protestant Episcopal church in
Jersey City, N. j. Rev. DR.. E. L. Stod-
dard, rector of st. Johns, tabooed the

has taught him that when the Easter
lily IS used, even in small quantities,
IN the altar and chancel decorations,
the odor affects the members of the
choir, giving them severe headaches.
Or. Stoddard says also that he received
complaints on the same score from
members of the congregation.
