WASHINGTON, D. C.Ma-ch SO.--The
serious condition OF affairs in Samoa
engaged the attention of officials
throughout to-day and there were con-
ferences at the white house between the
President and Secretary Hay and at the
state department between the secretary
and British ambassador and Baron
Shec! Won Sternberg, first secretary OF
the German embassy. But out OF It all
not word of additional information
was contributed from any official
source. The only authoritative state
ment came from the navy department,
giving brief dispatch from Admiral
kautz. This threw no light on the la
test outbreak and owing to tangle Of
dates 1t served only to further involve
the official mystery. In view of the
fact that the fighting was widespread
and hong continued, and that the for
eign offices ut London and Berlin had
been officially advised OF the affair. 1t
was regarded as somewhat strange
lohl t9t btale uHu navy departments
should be entirely without information
of a bombardment by an American ad-
miral.
Up 10 the close of office hours 1t was
stated that nothing had come from any
Of our representatives in Samoa. dealing
with the outbreak of hostIlties. The
calls OF Sir Julian Pauncefote and Bar
on Sternherg were mainly for informa-
tion, for at neither OF the embassies
had there been report Of the occur
renee or instructions up to the time OF
the calls.

SAMOAN CRISIS
Engaging the Attention Of Official
and Diplomatic ClrcIcs-Prcscnt
Outbreak not an Overt Act Against

Engaging the Attention Of Official
and Diplomatic Clrclcs-Prcscnt
Outbreak not an Overt Act Against
Germany.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,March SO.-The
Samoan crisis divided attention with
the fighting about Manila in oil official
quarters to-day. At the foreign embas-
sizes where this has been n subject Of
consideration of late, considerable an
Niety was shown lest the affair should
assume 4 grave international aspect.
Sir Julian Pauncefote. the British am
bassador. went to the state department
at IL o'clock accompanied by his secre-
tary, Mr.. Elliott, md conferred with
Secretary Hay. As this was the rcgu-
lar diplomatic day, little significance
would have attached to the call under
misunderstanding but with British
and American warsh!ps cooperating in
commandment more tiIun usual inter-
est attached 20 the call. There Is no
doubt that the serious DEVELOPMENTS In
Samoa were discussed. While there
mag be deartl OF official Information,
at the same time the actual events
carry out what has been anticipated and
give basis for intelligerty consider
ing the further Joint action OF the two
governments in the complete settlement
OF the entire Samoan trouble. Both ma
ions are acting in complete accord, not
only us 10 the general solution OF the
samoan problem, but In particular with
reference 10 the force eXertcd by the
British and American naval command
eTs
AS to the German attitude It Is stated
positively III u quarter thoroughly ia
miliar with German official sentiment
that the outbreak now reported can
under no circumstances be construed aa
an overt oct against Germany nor as n
casus belli. This Is from such a source
that 1t largely removes the possibility
or international complications. As an
evidence OF the coEcliatory sentiment az
Inc German government, 1t was said to-
Jay that the note delivered to the state
department last week urged In behalf
or the German government that the
Sood relations existing between two
such nations as the United States ana
Germany would not be interrupted by a
matter OF such comparative unimport-
$500 go go o'iiN'Si III sSlfllOl,
Is said that the German government
probably would have accepted Admiral
kaDtH as sort Of umpire, taking his
decision as final, but that the objection.
quite forcibly expressed to the STATE
department, was the manner OF his 60
Ing to Samoa while friendly exchange,
Ware going on without notice to Ger
many.
The German ambassador has received
no advlces and no instruction relative
TO the reported bombnrdment and there
Is no evidence thus far that GERMANY
VIII protest or assume bellgerenc
tone.
From the German standpoint, the
most serious aspect IS that the bonn
bardment will excite public feeling on
both sides of the water, leading to pop
ulnr outbnrsts, which Will overcome the
Efforts TO secure settlement.
One OF the latest propositions toward
n settlement Is that three commissions
ers be appointed, one from each coun-
try. to meet In Samoa and sit as a court
In settlement OF the dlnlcutS.

DISGUSTING ACTION

or Cuban ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Will
Send S3,OOO,OOO Back IL Army
Rolls are not Given Up-A Dishcart-
ened Patriot.
HAVANA. March Ex-Governor Gen
! eral Brooke has almost made up his
mind to send the 100000 back to the
United Stntes II the Cuban military ns-
sembly does not give up the army rolls.
You may as we'll do so and not trihe
much longer" said Secretary Alger,
wheE discussing the matter two days
ago in conference with General Brooke
and General Gomez. The latter said
that such a course would serve the as
semb1y right.
Anyway. the Impression is spreading
| that the governor general may return
! the money to Washington. and It Is
stirring up fresh feeling against the as
sembly. General Ernst called upon the
Cuban general Rafael Portuondo, chair
man OF the executive committee Of the
Cuban assembly three days ago, and
asked for the rolls. do you come from
General Brooke?" asked Portuondo.
] Yes" replied General Ernst.
Officially or unotIicially?"
~ come unohicially.'' answered the
American officer.
Then l cannot give them up" retort-
ed Portuendo. can only do so on OIL
| cial recognition"
a file of United States troops would
probably be sent 10 take the rolls II the
military administration knew exactly
where they We're. but there Is Il feeling
that mistake might be made and the
! administration placed In the light of
over anxiety and possibly be laughed at.
In the course of a conversation with
an old friend from San Domingo to-day,
General Gomez said: II am ready to go
home. I am tired Of this Jangle with
| the assembly. Il have learned soma
thing about this people which l did not
know before. They are an ungrateful
people. They do not appreciate what
the United States government Is doing
for them-a service In which am as
sisting.
These assembly commissioners have
run off again to the United States to beg
for money. while I. who have wife In
San Domingo. have not money enough
TO bring her here. But there do have
| n house. and might be sure OF enough
to live on. am old and tired, and /
feel like going back"

Boilers did not Explode, but the Bont
Struck an Obstruction and Sank.
Conflicting Reports as to Loss of
Life.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 3O.-DeAnite
Information was received at the general
Offices of the Lee line to-day regarding
the disaster to the steamer Rowena Lee
ut Tyler No.. yesterday afternoon.
Two lives are known to have been lost
and one man is missing.
The dead-Mrs. Chambers, OF Caruth-
ersyille. Mo-; unknown negro woman.
The mlssing-George C. Keuchler. mall
clerk.
General Manager Robert E. Lee, Of
the Lee line, received the story of the
wreck by telephone from his travelling
freight agent. II. C. Lewis. Mr.. Lewis
was on the Lee when she went down.
He telephoned that the boat left Tyler
at o'clock and in backing out from the
landing TO reach the middle of the chan-
mel struck some hidden obstruction, the
nature Of which wns not known. She
began to sink Immediately. The pilot
changed the course of the boat and
started back to the landing, but before
1t was reached the Lee had settled down
In thirty-iive feet OF water. All the
passengers and crew were saved except
those whose names have been given.
The Rowena Lee is q total loss. She
cost $4,000 in 1898 and was insured for
$4,000, with the Louisville Under
writer's.
The passengers and crew were picked
up by the steamer Ora Lee. which was
turned back with all speed from TIP
tonville.
Another version of the sinking of the
Rowena Lee reached here late tonight
from charlottesville, via Campbell, No.,
and increases the casualty list to five.
