called on Secretary Hay at the State
Department to-day and presented two
important dispatches from the German
Government relating to the critical
condition of affairs in Samoa.
Following this an extended confer
ence was held between Mr.. Hay and
the Embassador, and then between Mr..
Hay and the British ambassador, Sir
Julian Pauncefote. The dispatches
communicated by the German Embas-
sador dealt not only with the question
of policy involved, but are understood
to have presented in detail the facts of
the recent collision in Samoa, as viewed
from the German standpoint They
differ in many essential particulars
from, the statements made heretofore.
1t was stated, after several conferences,
by diplomatic official high in au-
thority that the latest aspects Of the
case were such as to make a peaceful
adjustment possible, and even probable.
A strong impression prevails in diplo-
matte quarters that Germany would re-
pudiate the action of her Consul in
Samoa, if, indeed, she had not already
laid the foundation for this move. 1t
is stated positively that the United
States Government had not up to noon
to-day made a protest, either alone or
in conjunction with Great Britain

A NEW ROUTE.
A Shorter One Claimed for the
Nicaragua Canal.

Nicaragua Canal.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 21.-John F. Le-
barron, well-known civil engineer. de-
clares in an interview here that while
engaged as an engineer on the old
Nicaragua Canal he discovered a new
and practicable route for the inter-
oceanic connection
Il was one of the engineers in
charge" he said, ''and became thor
oughly acquainted with the territory.
When I discovered the new and more
practicable route I at once laid it be-
fore the men who were backing the
enterprise. But they were pledged to
put the canal through on practically
the route they had laid out and did not
act on my suggestion, and, further
more, did not want anything said Of
the new and shorter route.
When Congress acted on the matter,
and the President designated commits
sion to go thoroughly over the ground
of all feasible routes, I at once wrote
to the commission, saying that if it
was desired 1 would go to Washington
and make my route known. l asked
neither commission nor money. having
no other interest in the matter than
the public interest. The commission
did not see fit to accept my offer, and
therefore I have never divulged the
route. The commission has reported
favorably on the Lull route, which 1
believe presents obstacles that make it
impracticabIe-"
Mr. Lebarron claims that the route
he proposed is much shorter than any
other, and would cost so 900, 600 less
than any yet named. Mr.. Lebarron is
now an engineer for the American and
Honduras Company, to which the Gov
ernment of Honduras recently granted
valuable concessions.

Red Gross Receives Money From

LOS ANGELES, Jan 21.-Colonel
John r. Berry of the Seventh Regiment
of California Volunteers to-day turned
over to the local Red Cross Society
S219.1S, which he states is the residue
of the 81 900 raised by the regiment
at an exhibition and drill in San Fran
cisco, to be used by the regiment for
the comfort of the men.
He had previously sent to the San
Francisco Red Cross Society $500. The
balance, he says, was expended by him
in caring for the sick and needy of the
regiment He has kept the money UNI
til this time, fearing that there might
be further use for funds, though the
regiment has been mustered out several

INVOLVES MANY HOMES.
The Decision Will Bring Relief to
Residents About Graceville.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 21.-The land case
just decided in favor of Archbishop
Ireland by the Secretary of the In
terror involves the homes of a large
number of settlers. The Archbishop Sc
cured the lands for the purpose of
locating an Irish settlement, and most
of the lands have passed to settlers
There still remained, however, a good
many acres not sold, or only partly
paid for, and on the plea that the Arch
bishop had simply a contract to dis
pose of the lands as an agent, an at
tempt was made to prevent a transfer
of those other lands. The contention
of the Archbisho,, is sustained, and he
will receive all the lands under the
second contract. The title to the lands
has been unsettled because of these
suits for a good many years, and this
final decision will come as a relief not
only to the settlers ON the land, but to
all residents about Graceville, where
the bulk of the lands are located.

Memory.

BERLIN. Jan. 21.-The news from
Samoa has not caused great surprise
here 1t was foreseen long ago that
trouble would break out sooner or later.
The tripartite arrangement has always
been considered in official circles here
as being most peculiar diplomatic
document, creating an unsettled situa-
ton, which is really at the bottom of
the present disorders, although the cleo
ton dispute precipitated hostilities. 1t
can be safely said, however, that the
German Government is not particularly
annoyed at the fact that matters have
come to a crisis, as it will give Ger
many an opportunity for reopening the
Samoan question with the view of es-
tabishing order on a permanent basis.
Emperor William has turned his at
tention to designing battle statues, and
has commissioned Walter Schott, the
sculptor, to execute a design by himself
of monumental figure of a mailed
archangel, ten feet high, resting both
hands on huge sword, which will be
erected on the battlefield of ST. Privat,
facing the French frontier.

versity. This is an indirect result of
the agreement between the Emperor
and the Regent of Bavaria on the sub
ject of supreme military penal court.
which is expected to lead to uniformity
in military law procedure throughout
the empire.
The proposal adopted by the students
of the German universities to perpetu-
ate the memory of Prince Bismarck by
the erection of columns over the face
of the country is now approaching real
ization A considerable fund has been
collected and committee has been
formed to carry out the details. The
columns will be high massive granite
pillars surmounted by an urn in which
a fire beacon will be kindled on every
anniversary of Prince Bismarck's birth
day until the end of time. The students
are greatly impressed with the sublfm-
ity of the notion, and have offered a
wreath of iron laurel leaves for the
best design for the column.

On the Treaty With Spain at the Present
Time.
Wishes to be Sure First That II /.
Will be RatiAed-Will Not Be-
lieve It Can be Defeated-Oppo-
sition Offers to Let It Pass With
a Provision That United States
Will Not Claim Permanent Sow
ereignty Over the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Davis, in charge of the peace treaty.
to-day told delegation from the oppo-
sition that he would not consent to
vote upon the treaty at present, nor un-
til he was satisfied that the treaty
could be ratified. He made this state
ment in response to representations
made to him by a delegation author
lied by the leaders of the opposition to
confer with him. declaring in the first
place that he did not accept the state
ment that there were sufficient votes
to prevent ratification He asked for
the list of the members opposing, and
was given the names of thirty-six Sem
ators who, it was declared, would vote
against ratification.
Senator Davis was further told that
the defeat or postponement of the
treaty could be prevented by agreeing
to an amendment, or even of resolu-
ton, declaring it to be not the purpose
of the United States to maintain per-
manent sovereignty in the Philippine
Islands. Senator Davis declined to ac-
cede to this proposition, saying that he
would prefer to have the treaty go
over until another session. When his
attention was called to the fact that an
extra session of the entire Congress,
as well as of the Senate, will be neces-
sary to appropriate the S20,OO0,OO0
made payable to Spain, he said this
was not true as the terms of the treaty
did not require the payment of the
money until after an existing ratifica-
ton.
When Senator Davis was asked as
to the truth of this report, he declined
to deny or confirm it.
The opponents of the treaty also state
that there will be no objection to the
extension of the law until June 80
1910, which allowed the regular army
to consist of 62000 men. This propo-
sition, it is said, will be placed upon
the army appropriation bill as an
amendment to relieve any necessity for
an extra session to pass an army bill.
