NEGOTIATIONS AT WASHINGTON
Great Britain Approves the Commits
sion Proposition.

Washington, April 4.-The German
ambassador, Dr.. Won Holleben, accom-
panied by Dr. Wilhelm Solf, the newly
appointed president of the municipal
council of Samoa, called at the British
embassy today and had an agreeable
meeting with the British ambassador.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, and Mr.. Elliott,
of the embassy staff The visit was
mainly social in character but it served
to bring about that better understand
ing in regard to Samoa which all three
powers are anxious to have take the
place of the friction and disorder pre-
vailing of late. Later in the day Sir
Julian called at the state department
and had talk with Secretary Hay.
1t was at once conjectured that the
ambassador came to signify~the formal
acceptance of Great Britain to the plan
of appointing commission. This was
correct only in part. While the Brit
ish government has approved the gen.
eral principle of commission, yet the
details as to the authority and the
power of the commission remain to be
settled before the British acceptance of
a concrete proposal is given.

which was destroyed by fire on March
II, died at 5:34 o'clock this afternoon
at the Hotel Grenoble. Mr.. Leland S
death followed an operation for APP
pendicitis performed on Friday last.
Mr. Leland had apparently been in
good health up to Thursday last, not
withstanding the amount of work he
had to do in connection with the burn
ing of his hotel and the grief he felt
at the loss of his wife and daughter,
who were among the victims of the
fire. On that day he began to complain
and as his illness was evidently seri-
Gus, consultation of physicians was
held on Friday and it was deemed adj
visable to perform an operation.
After the operation the patients con-
dition was satisfactory. but he had a
relapse on the following day and a
second relapse today. AT 4 o'clock this
afternoon he began to sink rapidly and
died within two hours.

REPLY TO GENERAL MILES.

During the afternoon the board sent
reply to General Miles, saying it
would take the matter of his PROPOSE
ton to supply more witnesses under
consideration, but intimating that the
board dfd not require further testi-
mony relating to the canned roast
beef.
General Miles sent another letter in
answer to this, in which he called at
tention to the letter he wrote early in
the proceedings of the board, saying
that the inquiry was not only of great
Importance, involving the health of the
army, but that the honor of the serv-
ice was at stake. He added that $4,000
men, and no doubt many more, could
give evidence substantiating the as
sertion that the meat was unfit to eat,
and he expressed the hope that out of
this number, 131 men. whose names he
had submitted, would be allowed to
testify. General Miles suggested that
men who had evidence to give might
answer a set of interrogatOries pre-
pared by the board if it was found
impracticable to hear them orally.
