REIcHSTAG THREATS.
Foreign Minister Says the Nations Honor
Must be Upheld.

Berlin, April l6-The opening speech
Of the Interpolation, to which the
minister of foreign affairs had previ-
Ously agreed TO reply, was not sue
cess, and it was afterwards said that
| the signers of the Interpolation blum
dered in entrusting its presentation to
Da. Lehr. The latter, contrary to
agreement, made strong references to
economic matters in arguing against
the American and British attitude in
Samoa, limiting that Germany would
fight both countries economically if
thwarted politically. The party lead
ers, one after another, repudiated DR..
Lehr's declarations. The speech of the
minister of foreign affairs also fell fiat
and was hardly applauded at the end.
In substance the Interpolation was
signed by a majority of the center
reich party conservatives and national
liberals, asking the general for infor-
nation regarding the measures taken
or to be taken by the government I'M
der the circumstances. The foreign
minister, in his reply, emphasized Ger
many's adherence to the Samoan act
the rearrangemento of which, he claimed
was desirable to the government.
Continuing, the minister said the gov
eminent knew nothing of the conflicts
said to have taken place between the
American Admiral Kautz and the COM
maader of the German warship Fake.
In the course of his remarks the min
lister of foreign affairs said: 81 am
quite prepared to express my views of
an affair which, just now, is keenly
occupying opinion and has been for
weeks the subject of serious attention
upon the part Of the government. On
the other hand, you will understand
that in my official responsible position
l shall not say things that may render
. peaceful settlement of the difficulty
questionable"
Finally, the minister announced that
all governments had agreed to Ger
many's proposal to dispatch commits
sion, adding that Germany would only
accept settlement which would leave
German rights and interests unim-
paired. He regarded the uncurtailed
maintenance of her treaty rights as Q
matter of national honor.

COmrade Was Brutality Beaten.
San Francisco, April 1s.-Fully 1000
soldiers marched to the saloon of A. L.
Rehfeld, Just outside the reserve, on
Saturday night, and burned the build
Ing to the ground. A bucket brigade
was formed by the soldier boys and the
adjoining buildings were saved. AS
IA result of the crime over 300 soldiers
are under arrest and number of
others will probably be arrested,
charged with incendiarism and rioting.
All the soldiers involved in the trouble
are white men.
The trouble began when five or six
recruits went to the saloon, which is
known as the Preside Club Cafe.
There were several women in the place
and row soon started over one OF
them, in which nearly all the men
present participated. When compare.
tive order had been restored, it was
found Private King had been seriously
injured about the head, his skull prob
ably fractured and features badly bat
tered. The soldiers assert that the
saloon people are responsible, and
claim that the proprietor, A. L. Reh-
field, was the chief assailant of the in
jured man.
A report being circulated that King
was dead, the place was set on fire and
destroyed as an act of retribution.

Sir Andrew urges n thorough under

these into agencies of trade for the set

show the natives that this would be a
better outlet for capital, and they would
thus be depriving the enemy of the
