Relations of Naval Omcers at Sam on
Have Been Pleasant.

Have Been Pleasant.
Berlin, April 26.-With view of rectify-
ing the reports of the discord said to exist
between the three naval commanders at
Samoa, the Nord Deutsche zeitung pub.
fishes extracts to-day from the reports Of
the commander Of the German Barshlp
Fake up to March %, in which Capt.
schoenfelder says:
1.-THE widest rumors are current con-
cerning the Relations between the officers
and crew Of the Fake and the Americans
and English. The reports are due to some
of our countrymen, who do not tire Of
creating III feeling between the officers and
men of the three countries by promoting
such rumors.
"As a matter of fact, the relations be-
tween the different commanders and off,
GERS are thoroughly courteous and of an
accommodating character. In spite OF the
arduous nature Of his guard duty, Capt
sturdee attended the funeral OF a Ger
nam sailor at Wiehl, with a deputatIon
of an officer aud sixteen men, and Admiral
Kautz hoisted his flag at half-mast No
disputes have occurred between the Ger
man and the American or English crews
"At a recent meeting the military repre-
sentatives Of the three powers expressed
Indignation at the rumors, and whenever
the commander and officers of the Fake
meet the American and English officers
and consuls social forms are strictly OBJ
served"
Dealing with the commencement OF hos
tilities, March Is, and the fact that a
fragment Of one Of the Philadelphia's
shells entered the German consulate, the
report says:
''The German consulate was not previ-
ously notified OF the commencement OF

late was not evacuated, and that his shots

MAY BE REPRIMANDED TOO.
Admiral Kautz's Letter Caused Some
CONSERVATION.


Washington, April 26-The publication
of Admiral Kautz' letter referring 10 his
position at Samoa caused absolute con-
sternation at the navy and state depart
ments at first reading, but there was soon
exhibited a disposition to minimize the af-
fair because it was clearly apparent that
the letter was nothing more than a strict
ly private communication passing between
members of the same family.
Nevertheless coming as It does close
upon Capt. Coghlans remarks, and fol-
lowing tho publication of Judge Cham
Germans in Samoa. the opinion was held
that Admiral Kautzs letter could not have
other than harmful effect upon the re-
lations between the United States and
Germany.
The letter was brought TO the attention
of the President, and some sort of re-
minder may be sent to the officer to be
more careful in his correspondence. No
orders have been issued to the Phladel-
phia TO leave Samoa, as the admiral says
so it is probable that he made the state
ment on that point in the belief that he
could adjust the differences between the
factions in Samoa within that time
In official quarters this letter was not
treated very seriously, and there was no
indication that the German authorities
would take cognizance OF ID. The spirit
of fun in the letter appealed TO some Of
the diplomatic officials who laughed heart
lily over Kautz's description of The young
Kings makeup, and this amusing feature
largely Offset any irritation which might
have been felt over the criticisms contain
ed In the letter. The impression prevail
ed, however, that the navy department
probably would deal with the indlscretion
in such a way as it deserved.
