dispatches from Apia to Auckland
sailed.
The president very much regrets that
serious trouble has arisen in Samoa,
but he requested full information from
possible moment. 1t is learned that the
Samoa the 18th, to which he referred
in his cable dated Auckland today,
gave the result of his investigations
into the situation after his arrival His
conclusion fully sustained the conten-
ton of the British and American con-
suls, which was in exact accord with
the conclusion already reached by the
British naval commander, Capt. Stur-
dee of the Porpoise.
At the foreign embassies, where the
Samoan crisis has been a subject of
consideration of late, considerable anx.-
ETY. was shown today, lest the affair
should assume a grave international
aspect.
AS to the German attitude, it is stated
positively in a quarter thoroughly
familiar with German official senti-
ment, that the outbreak now reported
can under no circumstances be con-
strued as an overt act against Ger
many, nor as a casus belH. This is
from such source that it largely re-
moved the possibility of international
complications. Admiral kautz acted
within his Instructions.
There is no doubt, with the facts now
at hand. that Admiral Kautz will be
sustained by the United States gov
eminent

FILlPINOS IN THE WRONG.
Late London Opinion on the Difficulties
In the Philippines.

London, March 30.-The Speaker, this
week, commenting upon the difficulties
of Americans in the Philippine islands
and asserting that the new series of
troubles which is said to be inevitable,
even after the capture of Malolos puts
an end to the Filipino republic, con-
tinues: at must be noted throughout
the present struggle that the Filipinos
have put themselves in the wrong. rhe
plea that they are fighting in defense OF
their rights does not hold good in tho
case of Manila, which is the centre of
European interests. 1t could not be
left to the mercy of revolutionaries.
America, through no fault of her
own, has become responsible FOR the
good government of the Philippine ISL
ands, and is bound to suppress Aguin-
aldo as we suppressed Arab Pasha
for the protection of European interests
in Egypt. 1t may be possible hereaf-
ter to give the E'iipinos local self
government even independence; but
for the present it is absolutely neces-
sary to secure peace at Manila for the
maintenance of the commerce of the
island. If, by threatening this, the Fill
ipino government made itself impossi-
bic, the fault lies with itself and not
with the United States for the present
gallant troops in the newer west are
the manufactures OF civilization end
Europe, and are carrying on the war in
the interest Of peace"

CROOKE AT DOCK,
Ship Discharges It's Gh,stly
Cargo.

New York, March 30.-The United
States transport Crooke. CARRYING the
bodies Of 6S6 American soldiers and
civilians who lost their lives in the
American Spanish war, rnoored along
slde the government dock in BROOKLYN
today and the work of discharging her
ghastly cargo was commenced. Can't.
Buck, with Co. ] OF the Thirteenth
United States infantry awaited the ar
rival of the vessel. When the sliding
gates were showed aside, exposing the
steamer, the soldiers gave a military
salute.
The transferring of the pine boxes
containing the caskets from the shin
to the wharf, was conducted slowly
and solemnly. Padded cradles were
swung from derricks, and as each
casket was lowered over the ships side
the soldiers composing the guard of
honor saluted. The first casket put
ashore was that bearing a stencil mark
denoting that the remains enclosed
were those of William Anthony, civil
ian. No one knew where he lived prior
to the war. He died at Santiago on
Oct 2. The body will be inferred with
some 300 others in the national ceme-
terry at Arlington.
The second body brought ashore was
that of Private Leonard A. Foster of
the Fifth Ohio volunteers. The work
or transferring the remainder Of the
baskets from the ship to the dock will
probably occupy the greater part of
three days,as the boxes are only swung
over at the rate of one every five min
utes.
When the caskets reached the floor
of the dock, they were put on a litter
and carried to different parts of the
wharf, so that Identification by reIa-
tives or friends would be facilitated.

Refusal of Cubans to
Relinquish.
PAY ROLLS MAY
Lead to the Sending Back
of That $3,OOO,OOO.

Havana. March 30.-Gov. Gen. Brooke
has almost made up his mind to send
the 100000 back to the United States
if the Cuban military assembly does
not give up the army rolls. You may
as well do so and not trifle much long
err" said Secretary Alger, when dis
cussing the matter, two days ago, in
conference with Gen. Brooke and Gen.
Gomez.
The latter said that such a course
would serve the assembly right. Any
way, the impression is spreading that
the governor general may return the
money to Washington, and it is stir
ring up fresh feeling against the as
sembly Gen. Ernst called upon the
Cuban Gen. Rafael Portuondo, chair
man of the executive commit
tee of the assembly, three days ago,
and asked for the rolls.
do you come from Gen. Brooke?"
asked Portuendo.
Yes" replied Gen. Ernst
Officially or unofficially?"
Il come unotflcially," answered the
American officer.
Then l cannot give them up" re-
torted Portuendo. Il can only do so
on official recognition"
A tle of United States troops would
probably be sent to take the rolls if
the military administration knew ex-
actly where they were,
But there is a feeling that a mistake
might be made, and the administra-
tion be placed in the light of over-anx-
lety and possibly be laughed at In the
course of conversation with an old
friend from San Domingo, today, Gen.
Gomez said.
Il am ready to go home 1 am tired

pie which [ did not know before They

their approval of the verdict as an

The prisoner Kennedy was very
cool under the trying ordeal, and never
moved a muscle. None of his relatives
were in court. Justice Williams re-
manded Kennedy to the Tombs and
said he would adjourn the court until
o'clock this afternoon, at which time
he will hear anything counsel may
wish to bring to his attention. The
prisoner was then led away by the de-
tectives, and the handful of spectators
filed out Of court.

WASHINGTON IN DARK.
Only Nation of the Three Not Officially
Informed.

INFORMED.
Washington March S0.-The serious
condition of affairs in Samoa engaged
the attention of officials throughout the
day and there were conferences at the
White House between the president ard
Secretary Hay, and at the state depart
ment between the secretary, the British
ambassador and Baron Speck Won
Sternberg, first secretary of the Ger
man embassy.
But out of it all not a word of addi-
tional information was contributed
from any official source. The only au-
thoritative statement came from the
navy department, giving brief des-
patch from Admiral KautZ. This threw
no light on the latest outbreak, and,
owing to a tangle of dates, it served
only to further involve the official mys-
terry. In view of the fact that the fight
ing was widespread and long continued,
and that the foreign office at London
and Berlin had been officially advised Of
the affair, it was regarded as some
what strange that the state and navy
department should be entirely without
information of a bombardment by an
American admiral.
Up to the close of office hours it was
stated that nothing had come from any
of our representatives in Samoa deal
ing with the outbreak of hostilities.
The calls of Sir Julian and Baron
Sternberg were mainly for information,
for at neither of the embassies mad
there been a report Of the occurrence,
or instructions up to the time of the
calls
