KAUTZ TO COME HOME.
Administration Is Pleased Over situa-
ton In Samoa.

Administration Is Pleased Over situa-
ton In Samoa.
A Washington special says: The
American member of the Samoan com
mission, Mr.. Bartlett Trip, did not
make any report by cable to the state
department Thursday and all the de-
partment's information of the move
ment of the commission came from the
naval cablegram and the press dis
patches.
The officials were gratifed to note
that there had been no fresh outbreak
preceding the arrival of the commits
sion, and from what is reported of the
conditions at Apia, they are convinced
that the crisis has passed, and that the
commission will have little difficulty
in securing the complete restoration
of peace.
It is realized that it will be no easy
task to provide permanently for the
administration of the affairs of the is
lands, however, and it is possible that
this portion of the work will be passed
over for the time and remain for adj
justment when the commissioners re-
turn to the United States.
Respecting the reported approval by
the commission of Admiral Kautz's
acts, it can be stated that little doub
was entertained in Washington tina
such would be the result when thes,
acts were examined dispassionately b.
fair-minded men of large caliber, jus
as they received the approval of tn,
president and Secretary Hay, after
careful scrutiny.
Admiral Kautz will return to tn
United States with the Philadelphia
The flagship will be replaced at Api
by the cruiser Newark, which is a
formidable in every respect as tn
Philadelphia, and having been recent
ly renovated, is in shape for long ser
vice. She was started for Apia abou
six weeks ago from New York, maxim
her way around South America.

COMMISSION REACHES SAMOA.
Their First Business or Arrival
Was to Confer With Chief
Justice Chambers.

The Samoan commission, consisting
of Bartlett Trip, former United States
minister TO Austria Hungary; Baron
Speck Won Sternberg, representing
Germany, and G. N. Elliott, O. b., Of
the British embassy at Washington,
representing England, arrived at Apia,
Samoan Islands, on May 18th. It's
first sitting took place May 10Th. The
commissioners we're engaged oil that
morning in comforting with the chief
justice, William l.. Chambers.
Nothing was disclosed regarding
the deliberations, but it is reported
that they will uphold the action Of
Admiral Kautz, the American naval
commander.
Mataafa sent the commissioners
letter of welcome and expressed hope
that they would satisfactorily end the
troubles in Samoa. It is understood
Mataafa will obey the unanimous or
der of the commission, though it is
doubtful whether he will order his
followers to disarm, unless the Malie-
toans are first disarmed.
The Germans are preparing COM
pensation claims. It is understood
one firm claims 100000, and that
other German subjects claim $40, 900.
Replying to questions submitted to
him by a correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press, Mataafa said it was the
head chiefs, and not himself, who be-
gan the war, adding that they did SO
because they were angered at power
being taken from them by violence.
Mataafa claimed he had upheld the
treaty and said his orders throughout
were not to fire upon the Europeans,
and that but for this order the whole
party Of blue-iackets could seyera
times have been shot down by large
bodies of natives concealed in thu
brush.

the aspects of a solemn religious eere-
