There is camp of Cuban SOL
diers between Sancti Spiritus and
Tunis. The men encamped there
have had nothing to eat for several
days, so it is reported, and they are
growing desperate. There are six
hundred men and their colonel
came in and wanted TO be relieved
of the command as he did not want
to be held responsible for their ac-
tons unless they were fed. 1t is
feared that they will go to pillaging
and the Alcaida and other officials

LONG CABLEGRAMS
British and German Embassies Receive
Accounts of the Ambush

Washington, April 12.-Both the British
and German embassies here tonight re-
eeieed long cabegrams from their for
eign Offices reporting on the developments
in Samoa. That from London was in the
main a confirmation of the facts given in
the Associated Press dispatch. The pur-
port of the German dispatch is not known.
The British dispatch was conservative IN
tone, and announced at the outset that Il
collision had occurred on a plantation near
Apia between the native forces and a
combined American and English detach-
ment One point of significance to the
e.nbassy was the fact that it apparently
contradicted a published report of large
number of casualties on the side of the
Joint American English forces. Another i'm
portant point was that it announced only
one British officer killed. The action OIL
Great Britain in ordering two more war
ships to Samoa attracted considerable at
tention here and it was stated that II the
British ships are so reinforced Germany
would take similar steps and augment her
naval representation in those waters 10
meet any possible contingencies. So Far,
however, no action looking to reinforcing
the United States naval forces here mas
been taken.
Secretary Long was informed of Great
Britains action late tonight but said It
was his belief that there was adequate rep
resentation of the United States and that
no more vessels would be dispatched to
Samoa unless further important develop
rnents occurred. The Philadelphia, he said
with the two British ships We're fully able
to cope with the situation in the present
light of events. Admiral Kautz has not
requested any achievements and his rec
ommendation under ordinary circumstances
would be awaited
The view is held in German circles that
much of the delay in settling the Samoan
troubles as well as the grave aspect the
matter has assumed, is due to a desire on
the part of Great Britain to bring about
an alliance with the United States.

LONDON COMMENT
German Completely is the All-Impor-
tant Question at Present

London, April 1S.-Thc Daily News, COM
mentng editorlally on the latest news from
Samoa, says:
"Ambushes and mutlation of the dead
are the ordinary incidents of savage war
fare and ought not to prove any special
acts of reprisal. The case, however, would
be seriously complicated if it could he
shown that the Germans actively aided or
counseed the enemy. Aport from that
there is nothing left to do but to keep cool
and to hurry to joint commission. The
American government is determined to re-
gard the matter with equanimity. The
American people have yet to be heard from.
1--WE can derive a melancholy satsfac-
ton from the knowledge that fer the frs
time since the war of independence British
and American soldiers and sailors have
fallen side by side in battle. But even this
is a poor CONSERVATISM in comparison with
the complications which'erents have added
to an intricate problem. Justice bids 'us
remember that we are not in possession OF
the German version, and Emperor William,
who has displayed such anxiety to bring
about an adjustment of the difficulties,
will be most deeply concerned. In the
meantime let us hope that it will be the
disposition of all sides not to aggravate a
very serious situation"
The Daily Chronicle says:
"Thc question is whether. when one
power tries to overreach one or two others,
she can complain if she suffers a rebuff.
There can be no question that when local
intrigues lead to the sacrifice of white life
the central power must be held responsible.
No doubt she will behave fairly enough,
but the danger is that it will take very
little after the experience in the Philip
pines to blow up a flame in the United
States which the German authorities will
give much to extinguish. As for our placid
selves, it is well to understand that We are
not going to undertake by a private agree
ment to nulify the principles of a decision
by a majority of the special commission"
The Daily Graphic, recalling numerous
occasions when Germany has hampered the
civilizing work of other nations urges
GOODNESS in the pending investigation, and
suggests that the best way out of the com
mission problem would be to appoint ar
arbitrator.
After abiding to fraternity of valor be
tween the English and Americans on the
battlefield' the Daily Mail says that the
greatest need of the situation is for COO
heads
The Standard says:
at is true that British and American
blood has been she'd and that British and
American flags have been fired upon, and
for this an account must be rendered. But
the larger question of a permanent settle
ment regarding Samoa and the possible re-
vision of the treaty remains for future
considerations And the question is not one
that can be allowed to involve Germany
in a serious quarrel with two powers witt
whom she has the strongest reason fol
wishing to remain on terms of amity."

Everhardt Declared Winner

Memphis, April 12.-The twenty-round
contest between Jack Everfardt, of New
Orleans, and Charley Burns, of Cincinnati,
at the auditorium tonight resulted in de-
cision for Everhardt. The fight was given
to the New Orleans lad because of foul
blow delivered by Burns in the Twentieth
round, who hit Everhardt while the latter
was on his knees. The mill was fast and
furious throughout, with honors about
even up to the eighteenth round In the
nineteenth round Everhardt fought vicious
ly and out-pointed his opponent but the
latter reversed matters in the final round
and looked like a winner, when the foul
was committed About 1900 people wit
messed the contest.
