WAITING FOR INFORMATION.

Berlin. Feb. 10-The German Foreign Office
is still awaiting official dispatches from Samoa
and declines to discuss the stories published in
New-York newspapers. told by passengers VINO
arrived at San Francisco on Wednesday by the
steamer Moana regarding the threatening at
titude of the British cruiser Porpolse toward the
German cruiser Fake. when matters recently
came 10 a head at Apia. These stories. and all
like them. are declared insulting to the repre-
sentarives OF Germany in Samoa. and either
absolutely untrue or grossly exaggerated.
The ''Vosssche Zeitung." which confirms the
report that DR.. Raffel, President Of the Munich
pal Council Of Apia. is now on his way to Ber-
lin with important dispatches characterzes as
untrue the reports OF the conduct attributed
TO the Fakes commander. II says: The Ger
man naval officers were not frightened by the
insolent words Of the British officer"
The "Berliner Tageblatt" says Chief JUS

himself was insulting every living German, 10

NEW PHASE OF SAMOAN TROUBLE.
THE THREE GOVERNMENTS MAY RECoG-
NIZE MATAAFA AS KING.


Washington. Feb. 10.-The Samoan trouble is
assuming somewhat new phase. according TO
the view Of leading diplomatic authorities and
one likely to bring about an adjustment on lines
not heretofore contemplated This is IN part
foreshadowed in the official statement Of the
Parliamentary Secretary for the Foreign ONCE
in the House Of Commons yesterday to TIE ef-
: II that further information would be awaited
before considering the recognition OF Mataata
as King Of Samoa Mataafa is not the claimant
who has thus far received the support OF the
British and American authorities. as they have
upheld Malletoa Tanus. who had been declare1
by Chief Justice Chambers. an American, right
fully entitled to the throne While the an
nouncement in the House of Commons is open
to various interpretations yet it seems to imply
clearly that the recognition Of Mataafa, VINO
was upheld bv the Germans, may be taken into
consideration.
In that event It is said that the three Govern
ments-the United States, Great Britain and
Cerrnany-would doubtless act together for what
was regarded as the best interests Of the Islands
rather than individually in support Of their SUD-
ordinate officials In the islands. 1t was pointed
out to-day by an eminent diplomatic official that
the chief consideration of all the governments
concerned would be to secure the best results
for the SamOanS. II IL was Clear ne sd4u, ti41e
an insistence placing MaNetoa on the throne
contrary to the wishes Of the great maJor!-
" of he Samoans would result in continued DIS
order and bloodshed, then in the interest OF
peace and order he believed all three govern
rents would unite in recognizing Mataafa The
result of this course, he SAID. would Oe no re-
Election on Chief Justice Chambers as II would
be based entirely on expediency and would not
be overruling his action At the same time, 1t is
said the German officials at Ap-a undoubtedly
would be disciplined for having attempted TO
overrule the action Of the Chief Justice, as their
course was conceded to be irregular.
In German quarters the view prevails that the
subject has already passed into the domain OF
diplomacy and that considerable time VIII
elapse before a settlement is in sight. the more
so owing 10 the time required 10 get official in
formation from Samoa. The German Ambassa-
dor and Baron Won Sternberg have gone TO New
York so that no immediate negotiations are In
dicated II is not known what view the state
Department would take Of the possible recognl-
ton Of Mataefa, and the comment among diplo-
mats is due mainly to the reference Of the Par
liamentary Secretary to the possibility or this
result.

THE MOVEMENT ON ILOILO.
AMERICAN TROOPS NOT EXPECTED TO
LAND IMMEDIATELY

Washington. Feb. 10.-For reasons they VIII
not divulge, officials do not expect that an
attempt to land the American troops at
Iloilo Will be made Immediately. though that
was the understanding a day or two ago
based on General Otis's advices. 1t is posi-
bic that II has been decided to be good policy
to allow the natives in Panay to learn for them
selves the disastrous fate that has overtaken
Aguinaldos forces in the neighborhood OF
Manila, hoping that they may be induced to
abate their resistance TO General Millers land
Ing
Then too as there are considerable foreign
interests in this town. which is second only
to Manila in the Philippines. 1t may be deemed
necessary to give formal notice Of the purpose
to attack the place in order to enable proper
precautions to be taken Even If the attack
took place according to the original plan, news
Of the result would not reach here for two days.
as Iloilo is about three hundred and fifty miles
from Manila. and the waters between are not
easy Of navigation.

lFIGHTFOR THE GREAT CANAL
MR.. HEPBURN CREATES A SENSATION
IN THE HOUSE.
HE GIVES NOTICE THAT HE WILL OFFER
THE NICARAGUA MEASURE AS A RIDER

THE NICARAGUA MEASURE AS RIDER
ON THE sUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Washington. Feb 10.-Mr. Hepburn CRep.,
Iowa) chairman of the Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce. created something OF
sensation IN the House to-day by giving notice
that at the proper time he would offer the Mica
ragua Canal bill as amendment to the Sun
dry Civil bill. The announcement was greeted
with applause by the friends Of the Canal Dill.
He had been moved to take this course. he de-
clared by the statement OF MIR. Cannon yester-
day that the bill would not be considered at
this session. Mr. Hepburn argued that the
amendment would be in order. and could proper
ly be placed upon the bill.
Mr.. Hepburns notice resulted from numerous
conferences which held to-day Early In
the day Chairman Burton OF the River and
Harbor Committee conferred with Senator Nor
gan. with view to having him leave the River
and Harbor bill unencumbered. Mr.. Morgan Is
understood to have consented not to embarrass
the River and Harbor bill. This in turn led 10
consideration Of the sundry Civil bill as the
medium for advancing the Nicaragua Canal bill
AS a result Mr.. Hepburn gave the formal no.
tlce. The amendment he proposes is the Hep
burn bill given in full in these dispatches last
week 1t appropriates S115,000,00O for canal
construction, and authorizes the President 10
negotiate with Nicaragua and Costa Rlca lof
the route. ,
The principal difficulty lies In the rule w6ich
will be invoked against the amendment. Ihls
rule provides that no appropriation snali De III
order on any general Appropriation Dill lot any
expenditure mot previously authorized by law.
II is asserted on the one hand that this rule
would positively exclude the amendment, out
Mr. Hepburn points out that Congress mas al
ready authorized and appropriated for two sur
veys Of the Nicaragua Canal route in Suncry
Civil bills, and also increased the compensation
OF the engineer in charge OF one OF these sur
veys. On these acts Of Congress II Will be as
serted that the amendment is not obnoxious 10
the rule. and that II Is germane. Should Mr.:
Sherman, of New-York. who Is the chairman OF
the Committee of the Whole, rule 1t out OF or
der, it is possible that the friends of the bill
will seek to overrule the chairman. Indeed,
some Of the members have been sounded with
this possibility In view.

DEPUTIES VOTE FOR REVISION
BILL ADOPTED AFTER STORMY DE-
BATE.
PREMIER'S SPEECH IN FAVOR OF THE
MEAsURE-CARRIED BY VOTE
OF 332 TO 216

Paris Feb. 10.-The trial revision bill was
adopted in the Chamber Of Deputies to-day by
a vote Of 332 to 216
Immediately after the opening Of the session
NJ Renault- Morliere. the spokesman Of the
committee having the revision bill In charge,
said the committee had rejected the measure
because when one arrived at the creation or
courts OF expedency there was no further Sc
curity for any one"
Such proposals, the spokesman added, always
aroused Indignation, and he asked what could be
the motive of the bill. since the accusations
brought by N. Quesnay de Beaurepaire, the
former president Of the Civil Section Of the
Court of Cessation. against the Criminal Section
of that body had been acknowledged to be er-
roneous. NJ. Renault- -Morliere concluded with as
sertng that the adoption Of the bill would be
useless and dangerous sign OF weakness, also
remarking that ito honor the army 1t Is not
necessary TO dshonor the magstrature"
After the Minister of Justice NJ. Lebret, had
briefly defended the bill. NJ. Millerand, Radical
Socialist, representing the Ist District OF the
Seine. made lively speech, in which he opposed
the measure on the ground set forth in the open
letter to the Government. signed by score Of
Deputies and humber of former Cabinet Min
isters who declared their intention to uphold
the supreme pTlnClpleS Oh justice dS dOONc Oil
attack.
NJ. Millerand aroused an immense uproar by
saying that the Republicans had only TO note
who were backing the bill and the present agi-
taton to know where their duty lay.
The Premier then mounted the tribune and
said the Government prepared to take the
whole responsibility for the measure. The Re-
publicans the Premier added could therefore
vote for the measure with perfect security. The
Government, he pointed out was neither the
accomplice nor the dupe Of the adyersares OF
revision OF the Dreyfus trial. but doubts had
arisen causing fears as to whether the sentence
Of a section Of the Court Of Cessation was au-
thoritative enough 70 satisfy and calm the ma
ton. The bill. he insisted. was neither an
emergency measure. revolutionary nor dictato-
rial 1t would end an affair which was provok-
ing throughout the world poemics which were
lacerating French hearts.
