LONDON AND BERLIN HEARD FROM.
THE BRITISH AND GERMAN EMBASSIES RE.
CEIvE LONG DISPATCHES.

CEIVE LONG DISPATCHES.
Washington. April 12-Both the British and
German embassies here tonight received long
cable dispatches from their Foreign Offices on
the developments in Samoa. That from London
was from the British Consul at Apa. and said
that the casualties were one British officer
killed and two or three American officers Killed
and five American and two English sailors
wounded The purport OF the German dispatch
Is not known 1t reached here about o'clock,
and took an hour and half to decipher.
The dispatch to the British Embassy was in
the main a confirmation OF the facts given in
the press dispatch. 1t was conservative in tone.
and announced at the outset that a collision had
occurred on a plantation near Apa between
the native forces and a combined American and
English detachment. One point Of significance
to the Embassy the fact that 1t apparently
cortradicted a published report Of a large num-
Der Of casualties on the side OF the joint Ameri-
n-Englsh forces. Another important point
was that it announced only one British officer
killed
The action Of Great Britain in ordering two
more warships to Samoa attracted considerable
attention here. and 1t was said that II the Brit
ish ships are reinforced Germany would take
similar steps and augment her naval repre-
sentation in those waters TO meet any possible
contingency
Secretary Long informed Of Great
Britain's action late tonight. but said 1t was
his belief that the United States was adequately
represented now, and that no more vessels
would be dispatched to Samoa unless further
important developments occurred The Phila-
delphia. he said with the two British ships,
was fully able to cope with the situation in the
present circumstances. Admiral Kautz has not
requested any reinforcements, and his recon-
mendation under ordinary circumstances would
be awaited The supply ship Abarenda Will sail
from Norfolk on the 10th for Samoa, but It's
sailing has no reference to recent events hav-
ing been decided on heretofore.
Requests for information about those who fell
in the savage ambuscade began coming in to-
night the first message reaching Secretary
Long shortly before midnight from James Mona
CHAN of San Diego asking for details of the
death of his son. Ensign Monaghan.
The view held in German circles that much OF
the delay in settling the Samoan troubles, as
we'll as the grave aspect the matter has as
sumed, is due to a desire on the part OF Great
Britain to bring about an alliance with the
United States.

Berlin. April 1.-THE correspondent here OF
The Associated Press has had an interview with
Foreign Office official who is authorized TO
sneak for the Minister OF Foreign Affairs, Baron
Won Biilow.. He said: 'n
wa have received several official dispatches
saving that the Tanu people for fortnight past
have been raiding and pillaging around Apia'
destroying mainly German property. They are
armed with weapons furnished by the British
I'VE also received to-day dispatch from the
commander Of the Fake confirming the am
buscade and the loss Of the Americans and Eng
lish substantially tallying with the dispatches
OF The Associated Press. The ambuscade may
possibly have been on German plantation. as
nearly all the property around Apia is German
The Government regrets extremely the occur
renee for which. however. IT is in no way to
blame. Such hostile encounters must naturally
be expected when the Anglo-Amercan action
IN crowning Tanu has made nine-tenths Of the
Samoans their enemies 1t shows strongly how
necessary is the prompt departure of the Com
mission with adequately full instructions. Al
though the German Commissioner has not yet
been formally appointed. he is ready 10 start
for Samoa within half an hour of the three
Governments clearly defining the mode or oper-
alton and the powers Of the Commission. Why
does England needlessly delay agreeing? 1t is
the only way to prevent ceaseless bloodshed in
Samoa Unless the Commission starts soon
such encounters may reoccur any day.
''Of course now that fresh blood has been
spilled. the excitement Of the Americans and
British may increase But Germany is blame
less The same thing happened to our men in
1888 The Samoans also cut off the heads OF
the German victims then. That is one Of the
Ssmoan's pleasant habits. II Admiral Kautz
had the power TO re-es.ablish peace all might

We can derive a melancholy satisfaction from
the knowledge that for the first time since the
war Of Independence British and American sol.
diers and sailors have fallen side by side in bat

no question that when local intrigues lead to the

best way out OF the commission problem would
be to appoint an arbitrator.
THE Daily Mail" hitherto a strong advocate
of conciliating Germany, says:
We are bound to admit that the German press
and officials are pushing matters rather far. but
we look to Emperor Williams moderating infu-

serious quarrel with two Powers with whom she

LETTER TO HIS BROTHER IN THIS CITY
THE MOST INTERESTING PASSAGES
NOT MADE PUBLIC
A letter was received in this city yesterday by
DR.. P. F. Chambers. of No. A West Fifty sew
enth-st., which would no doubt make highly in
teresting reading If the doctor would only make
all of it public. 1t came from his brother, Chief
Justice Chambers, of Samoa, and was written
on March u and % last. 1t is a long letter, but
Dr. Chambers would only disclose a small part
OF It, saying that some Of the remainder was
personal and the rest contained comments
the Samoan situation which one brother might
properly make in confidence to another but
which the Chief Justice, as the representative of
three great Powers in Samoa could not with
proprety make to strangers. Here follows as
much as DR.. Chambers would consent to dis
close:

The Chief Justice first went to Samoa four
years ago as a Land Commissioner. to settle
certain complications regarding land ownership.
Similar Commissioners were appointed by Ger
many and England Two years later he was
appointed Chief Justice Of Samoa by Grover
Cleveland who appointed him to the first posi-
ton also. At the beginning Of the present
troubles in Samoa the Chief Justice sent his

obtained from New-Zealand or Sydney. New
South Wales.
II a sufficient quantity Of arms could be OBJ
tained about two thousand friendiies could be
used against the Mataafans But they are not
brave. and have not shown fighting qualities
excepting those with Gaunt's brigade. and that
force may not accomplish much.

Further advices from Apia say that on the ar
the British and American Consus issued proc
iamation TO give Aiataafa a last chance, ana
that the French priests also used their influence
but all efforts failed. and the rebels continued
their depredations. Property was destroyed and
, bridges and roads were barricaded On March
20 the enemy was sighted at Maguigi, and ma
chine guns and seven FOUNDER were used The
friendles also attacked the enemy during the
latter's retreat. and several rebels were Killed or
wounded. The friendlies carried one head
through Apia. which made Captain Stuart so
furious that he went to the King and threat
ened to shoot any man found taking heads. The
King then issued proclamation forbddng the
practice.
The German Consul wrote to Admiral kautz
asking II two great Christian nations approved
OF this inhuman and barbarous practice against
the laws Of Christianity and the decree OF the
Supreme Court The Admiral replied. agreeing
With the Consul as TO the inhumanity Of the
rractice and pointed out that had the German
Consul upheld the decree of the Supreme Court
