CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
The Demand Will Over-Measure
the Quantity Produced.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S.-Secre-
tary Filcher of the State Board of
Trade said to-day:
1.-THE demand for California fruit this
year will over-measuIe the quantity on
hand. The reports from the interior
show that the prospects are OF a splen-
did character 1t is not unlikely that
the whole country will look to Califor-
MIA for the greatest amount of it's fruit.
Florida has suffered disaStrously
from frost Georgia, which shipped
1900 carloads Of peaches last year, has
scarcely anything to show this season,
and New Jersey and Delaware, fore
most peach States of the East, are in
sad straits. Even Michigan has had
hard time, and so have other States
from which a large supply was ex-
pected.
ct is rather too early to say with any
approach to accuracy what the Califor
MIA fruits may bring in the market The
local firms have not yet made up their
selling lists
Representatives of several prominent
fruit dealing firms confirmed the views
expressed by Secretary Filcher.

Commissay Of Subsistence Davis
on Witness Stand.
Questions the Memory Of General Eagan
Relative to the Contracts.
Asserts That the Understanding
Was That the Beef Was to Keep
Good Seventy-Two Hours After
Leaving the Ship, Providing
Good Care Was Taken of It.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Captain
George B. Davis, Commissary of Sub
sistence, was the first witness to appear
before the beef inquiry court to-day
He was on duty in the office of the Com
missary General, and assisted in pre-
pairing the Santiago beef contract with
Swift & Co., dealing especially with
the preparation of the clause covering
the time the beef was to be kept in re-
frigerators on shore. He had talked
with General Eagan on the subject
when the contract was in course of
preparation, and had understood from
him that the beef was to be kept in
refrigerators seventy-two hours after
arrival and twenty -four hours after its
removal from them.
Captain Davis detailed some instances
in which boards of survey had examined
beef which had been complained of
While in the refrigerator. One in
stance occurred at Manzanillo and an
other at Santiago. In the first the
beef was condemned, and in the latter
a part of it was.
In reply to Major Lee, Captain Davis
said the understanding in the Commits
sary Generals office was that the beef
was to be kept good for seventy two
hours by the contractors after leaving
the ship. providing good care was taken
of it.
This was the extreme limit he said
but it was not supposed that the beef
would be kept for more than twenty
four hours
Captain Davis said he had heard
something of the Powell process for
preserving beef; that a proposition was
made before the beginning of the war,
and after General Weston had brought
the proceedings to the attention of the
department as the result of experiments
made with it at Tampa, about the time
of the sailing of the Santiago expedi-
ton.
Major Lee pointed out the apparent
discrepancy in Captain Davis and Gen
eral Eagan's testimony as to the condi-
tions under which beef was to be kept
for seventytwo hours after the arrival
of the beef at its destination. He read
General Eagan's statement saying it
was his intention that the beef should
be good for Seventy-two hours, mo diff
ference where taken from" and say
ing that the twenty-four hour clause
must be a clerical error. He asked
Captain Davis to reconcile the two
statements, to which request the Cap
tain responded by saying: General
Eagan had simply forgotten. Probably
he had not seen the contract for six
months. 1t is not customary in such
cases to depend upon the memory, the
contracts being on file and reference to
them convenient and usual.'
The witness said there had been con-
siderable discussion in the office of the
Commissary General of the feasibility
of shipping beef on the hoof, but it had
been decided not to try the experiment,
because of the difficulty of getting the
ships, of landing the cattle, and of TAX
ing care of them after landed. The
Subsistence Department had, however,
gone so far as to gather the names of
persons who might desire to bid

SAMOAN QUESTION.
Explanation of New Feature
Which Has Lately Arisen.

BERLIN, March 2S-The cores
pondent here of the Associated Press
has obtained on the highest authority
at this Capital the following explana-
tion of a feature of the Samoan ques-
ton which has lately arisen
On the report that the Americans Gov
eernnent had cabled to it's Admiral at
Samoa to act in accordance with the
decision of two of the representatives of
the Powers, the German Government
made earnest representation to the
American ambassador here, Andrew
White, that the Berlin treaty requires
the concurrence of the three Powers,
and called attention to the dangers
which were sure to arise if there was
anything like violation of the treaty
The American Government made
frank and conciliatory answer, which
caused much satisfaction here. 1t re-
cognized the necessity for unanimity
upon the part of all three Powers under
the treaty as condition of any settled
policy or permanent action, and de-
clared the Admiral was only authorized
to act in agreement with a majority of
the representative of the Powers in a
case of emergency which absolutely
does not admit of delay but in such a.
case ratification of adjustment by
unanimous vote of the Three Powers
must be sought at the first possible mo-
ment, and no permanent arrangement
can be made without such unanimity
The American Government. it is
added, cabled to it's representatives in
Samoa to pursue the most friendly and
conciliatory action toward the German
representatives. and German interests,
carefully avoiding anything likely to
be 1nisconstrued or to create i'll will
In consequence of the stories regard
ing Mataafa having sanctioned sec
tartan tyranny, the German Govern
ment assured Mr.. White that all its in
fiuence would be exerted against inter
ference with the religion of any sect.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The facts
stated in the preceding dispatches are
confirmed here. It's effect will be to
allay any fears that may have been
felt that a diplomatic rupture with
Germany over the Samoan question was
possible. 1t is probable that an eff
fort will now be made by the three
Governments to bring about a settle
ment OF the matters in dispute Mean
while, if any emergency should arise
calling for immediate decision, Admiral
Kautz will support the majority of the
Governments represented. His orders
