GERMANY BLAMEs

England With the Recent Occurrcn-
+ ccs in Samoa-Grcat Britain's Delay
In Regard to the Commission.
BERLIN, April 12.-The correspond
ent OF the Associated Press has had on
interview with q foreign office oflbial,
who is authorized to speak for the min
lister OF foreign affairs, Baron Won Bue-
low. He said:
I'VE have received several official
dispatches. saying that the Tanu people
for a fortnight past have been raiding
and pillaging around Apia, destroying
many German properties. They are
armed with weapons furnished by the
British. sg
I'VE also received to-day dispatch
from the commander of the Fake. con-
tlrming the ambuscade and the loss Of
the Americans and English substantial
ly tallying with the dispatches of the
Associated Press. The ambuscade may
possibly have been on q German plan
tation. as nearly al, the property
around Apia is German. The govern
ment regrets extremely the occurrence
for which. however, 1t Is In no way to
blame. Such hostile encounters must
naturally be expected when the Anglo
American action in crowning Tanu has
made nine-tenths of the Samoans their
enemies"
Although the German commissioner
has, not yet been formally appointed. he
is ready to start for Samoa within half
an hour Of the governments clearly de-
finlng the mode of operation and the
powers Of the commission. Why does
England needlessly delay agreeing? 1t
Is the only way to prevent ceaseless
bloodshed in Samoa. Unless the COM
mission starts soon such encounters
may re-occur any day.
"Of course now that fresh blood has
been shed. the excitement OF the Amer
leans and British may increase. But
Germany Is blameless. The same thing
happened to our men In 1855. The Sa-
means also Gu: off the heads OF the Ger
man victims there. That Is one Of the
Samoan pleasant habits"

] WASHINGTON, April 12.-Members
Of the cabinet, in discussing the event,
said they saw no occasion for public ex-
citement. The United States would
protect her rights, but until all the
facts were known 1t was certain that
no aggressive steps would be taken. 1t
was further stnted that on the face
Of the records the German government
was not unfrlendly to the United States
during our war with Spain and although
certain German officials may have
shown n pronounced sympathy with
the Spaniards. nothing had occurred
that could officially be u subject Of

dIsayowed. Under these circumstances.
1t Is pointed out, the United States will

of the receipt of full information. that
the German governpent is solely re-

THE COPPER BOOM.

A gentleman who has made a careful
study of the copper market says: THE
present boom in the copper mining indus
try is going to be of great permanent
benefit to the country. 1t was, of course,
started by steady diminution of the WISH
bic supplies of the metal, due to the
growing consumption of copper. The good
thing about it exists in that fact that
about two years are required to develop a
mine. Inside of two years there will be a
great and sudden increase in the demand
for copper, and only for the present spec
ulatiVe movement, which is destined to
develop many good copper mines, this
demand would ave to be supplied with a
less satisfactory metal.
Il refer to the equipment Of the steam
railroads with electricity. At the present
time a passenger train weighs fifty times
as much as the passengers it is capable of
carrying. This fac alone should prove
a change in the system must come very
soon. The car of the near future will not
weigh more than twice as much as the
passengers it carries. A small motor
weighing a few hundred pounds will AXE
the place of the hundred ton locomotive.
Railroad fares will be decreased and pro-
fts increased by the change. The amount
OF copper necessary to equip all of the
trunk lines of this and other countries for
electrical motive power will be simply
enormous. There are not yet enough mines
under development to supply it, and the
copper mining industry is comparativel
in it's infancy.
