save in executing the will of the three
conSuls, acting unanimously, and not
through a majority. But aside from this
argument the German note intimated
quite plainly that Germany would hold
the other governments responsible If Sc
rious trouble resulted from the action of
the naval authorities in Samoa. The
strained conditions caused by this note
were somewhat allayed by the answer
of the state department, which was
friendly and reassuring, although 1t made
it plain that the American naval com
mander would act in an emergency, even
though the conSulS were not unanimous
in requesting action. 1t is just such an
emergency that has now arrived IN
Samoa.
There Is no apprehension here that an
actual clash will occur with the German
civil or naval forces in Samoa. This is
due mainly to the official understanding
that Germany has given positive orders
to the commander Of the German warship
Fake to refrain from any active move.
BRITISH OPINION.
LONDON, March 30.-The morning pa
pers comment on the serious news from
Samoa, the presumption being that the
cruiser Tauranga was stopped at the Fiji
islands by the admiral because required
for service at Samoa. The Standard
says:
THE rebellious chiefs must be coerced
and punished, and something more than a
nominal penalty will be required for the
blood OF British and American sailors.
The German authorities at Apia have in
CURED a heavy responsibility. We cannot
believe that Berlin will uphold their ac-
ton, as it is not worth Germany's while
to quarrel with England and America
over Samoa"
The Daily Chronicle says: There is
only one alternative. Germany must re-
move her consul (Herr Rose) or go out
of the protectorate."
The Morning Post, commenting upon
the mystery surrounding the affair."
and the 'impossibility of reconciling the
events in Samoa with diplomatic assur-
ances lately given by Berlin and Wash
ington'' says: Admiral Kautz and his CO.
adjutors were not competent to dismiss
the provisional government The single
bright spot in that dark business is that
Americans and British fought splendidly
together
The Daily Mail says:
ut is a consolation to think that as In
Crete, the spilling of British and Amert-
can blood will bring a solution of the
crisis. All three powers should recall
their consuls. and as the friendship of
Germany is the pivot of our foreign pol
icy, her wishes should be respected in the
final settlement

Only a short session was held by the
senate yesterday on account of the jun
ket of the legislators to Saltwater. and
only one incident served to render it in
teresting, brisk debate over the county
local option bill.
Senator Grindeland Rep.), Marshall,
wanted the temperance committee to re-
port on 1T forthwith.
Senator Ives Dem.), Ramsey, rejoired
for the committee that the committee
stood three to three and could not report
until 1t was able to secure the presence
OF Senator GauSewitz.
Senator Wilson (Rep), Hennepin, said
he understood the committee had several
times met with full attendance, and yet
had not reported the bill.
Senator Ives was quite personal and
seN ere in condemning the opportunities
of the promoters of the bill, who were
lobbying, he said, but the chair suggested
that the senator should coniine himself
to the discussion of the bill.
Senator Grindeland's resolution was
laid on the table, on Senator Ives mo-
tion. on q vote of 81 to 21, as follows:

The representatives from the southern
part of state had voted for the new cap
ftal drainage for the northern part of
the state and for experimental farms at
Crookston and Grand Rapids and were
entitled to some consideration at the
hands of the legislature.
Mr.. Fosnes (Union), of Chippewa, Of
fered an amendment locating the addi-

Ing that Faribault county was too near
the Iowa line for such an institution.
Mr.. Foss (Rep), of Grant, favored the
Chippewa county plan and also that an
experimental farm be started in each
county of the state. The southern coun-
ties were all rich and did not need the
farms, at least that was the statement
repeatedly made on the floor of the house.
Mr.. Riley Qep.), of Jackson, favored
the bill
Mr.. Umland Oem). of Ramsey, did not
believe in the state giving money to buy
more experimental farms.
The Fosnes amendment was voted
down by a close vote, and an amendment
by Mr. Wallace (Rep), of Hennepin, To-
eating the additional farm on the state
land in Kandiychi county, declared out
of order.
The bill was then recommended for in
definite postponement, but the vote after
ward reconSidered and the bill advanced
to the calendar, with the understanding
that no more time should be wasted by
the author in debate when the bill was
reached for a vote.

CITY OF MALOLOS.
Description of the City Likely to Be
Captured TODAY

Description of the City Likely to Be
Captured Today.
NEW YORK, March 49, = John N.
Ostrander, of this city, who was a mem
Der of the Astor Battery, gives the fol-
lowing description of Malolos, the in
Surgent capital of Luzon:
'One Of the last things I did before
leaving Manila was to visit Malolos,
Aguinaldo's capital The country all the
way between Manila and Malolos is low,
swampy land, three-fourths Of it bam-
boo jungle and the rest of it rice fields.
At the time we passed over the road the
rice in these fields was just beginning to
show green above the water. It is poor
country to campaign through.
AT CalOocan we saw big, rusty, old
fashioned Krupp gun. Its bore looked
big enough for man to crawl into. The
gun was of an obsolete type, dirty and
neglected, but / suppose the Filipinos
used it to make some sort of bluff.
1.-THE country around Malolos is of the
same swampy nature as that we trav-
eled across 1t is all bamboo Jungle or
rice fields miserable stuff. The water is
full of malaria germs, and it must be
boiled before it is fit to use.
1--WE saw no fortifications around Ma
lolos, nor any signs of forts-not even
intrenchments. There were old earth
x
brambles, etc, so 1 suppose they were
thrown up by the Spanish. At Malolos
there was nothing of the sort last De-
cember, though the Filipinos may have
placed them since.
I'VE went to Aguinaldo's Headquarters
after breakfast. He occupied a big stone
building, two stories high, about as long
as city block, and about half block
deep. This house was the meeting place
EiIiDlnO oil do'
guard and some others of his soldiers
occupied the ground floor.
The building is next door to a big
church and faces a public square. Here
F'ilipinos were peddling rice and meat
and machetes- es-apparently the chief sta
pies of the country.
"Aguinaldo had at that time in Malolos
an army of 5000 men. They lived chiefly
in straw huts-'casas de nipas' I sup
pose Aguinaldo has a much larger army
than that now.
Before the entrance of the big stone
house Filipino sentry was marching up
and down with a Mauser rifle on his
shoulder.
1--WE saw Aguinaldo at an open win
dow in the second story of the building
talking with an elderly man. Robbins
tried to get a snap shot of the dictator,
but the Filipino soldiers thought the
camera was an Internal machine and
made signs for us to go away.
"Aguinaldo is a bilious-looling young
man. I suppose he derives his jaundiced
complexion from the mixture of Chinese,
Taga1o and Spanish blood in his veins
He has only one object in liee-to
make money out of this war. He accept
ed a bribe of 100000 from the Spanish
and quit fighting, but he took it up again
as soon as Dewey captured Manila
1--WE also saw Del Pillar with Aguinal-
do. He is the dictator's brother, his Wey-
Ter. Gen. Del Pillar is about Agu.naldo's g
age and size. He has a narrow face with
beady black eyes, a chin whitfield down
to point and the general appearance of
a rat"

AMNESTY PROCLAMATION.

Government Is Prepared to Issue
One to the Filipinos.
NEW YORK, March pa special from
Washington says:
LAS soon as Gen. Otis achieves a de-
cisive victory over Aguinaldo, the Philip
pine commission will issue a proclama-
ton promising amnesty to all natives
who lay down their arms and self-rule
to those who recognize the sovereignty
of the United States, This is the pro-
gramme which the state depa1 tment un-
derstands has been adopted by the COM
mission. AS Gen. Otis and Admiral Dewey
are members of the commission, 1t is pre-
sumed here that they are responsible for
the delay in Issuing the proclamation,
believing it's effect will be greater If pub
lished after the insurgents have bsen
subdued. |
so long as Aguinaldo maintains his
army organization, it will be difficult to
reach. the natives and convince them,
but with Aguinaldo prisoner or fugi-.
tive, and the army. disbanded, 1t is
thought that the proclamation will, re-
ceive attention from the natives, and
cause them to take advantage of its pro-
visions. The proclamation will be SINH
lar to those previously. issued by Gen
Otis, except that it will contain a gen
eral amnesty declaration, and will re-
assert the friendly intentions Of this gov
ernment.''

TROOPS ALL RIGHT.
Gen. Otis Says the Philippine Gil
mate Is Not So bad.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Some time
ago an ex-off1cer of the British army
wrote to Secretary Hay. regarding the
health of troops in the Philippines and
making suggestions relative to the pres
ervation of the health Of the command
He related the effect of hot climates
on the soldiers where the British army
had served, and indicated that the trou-
bles which had overtaken the British
army would be likely to come to the
Americans. The letter was sent to Gen
Otis, and on Jan. 81 he sent it back to
the war department with the following
Endorsement:
Troops here soon become acquainted
with and accustomed to the climate
The conditions prevailing and the results
of our occupation, so far as the health
of the command Is concerned. are not
known to the writer of the communica-
ton. At present, as affairs are some
what critical. military duty is exacting.
[ think, however, that the health of the
command will compare favorably with
the British troops In india there being
only about or per cent on sick re-
port for all causes. 1 do not think 1t
necessary to consider the remarks of the
writer further, and the condition of this
command is sadly misrepresented in the
United States.''

IN the report that the United States tried
to dispose of the Philippine islands to
Great Britain. 1t was asserted at the
time the Paris peace commission was
sitting that the United States wanted to
dispose of the islands and would turn
them over to Great Britain or Japan.
The story was denied at the time and
