SETTLEMENT Is
A GOOD THING
How Germany Views the Samoan Agree
ment-Divided Opinion Upon
Transvaal Matters.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The German
ambassador, DIR. Won Holleben, in the
course of an informal talk to-day with
a representative of the associated press,
spoke of his recent visit to Europe and
his observations there on the trend of
sentiment concerning International
questions.
1.-THE Samoan settlement meets with
very general approval" said the am
bassador. Also it is to be regarded
as good thing for all the parties in
terested. 1t is certainly good thing
for the three governments who have
hitherto exercised a joint protectorate
over the islands, as this arrangement
was cumbersome and unsatisfactory
and the events of last spring showed
that it might give occasion for serious
differences. 1t is equally good for Sa-
moa, as the citizens no longer share in
the uncertainty Of the trlpartte agree
ment, but will have a uniform and
stable government. Naturally the set
tlement is most gratifying to Germany,
as she secures the two large islands of
Upolu and Saw, where her interests
have long been established and where
the commerce is considerable. The Ger
mans have been in that locality so long
that considerable sentiment attached
to the retention of these islands. More
over this accession. following so closely
the accession OF the SaFoilnes, is re-
garded as another marked tribute to
the strong and successful policy which
Count Won Buelow Is carrying out.
Concerning the war in South Africa,
the sentiment in Europe, so far as I
was able to observe, is one of profound
public interest and complete official
neutrality. Naturally, IN a conflict of
this character. the public takes sides.
It is the same there as in the United
States. for have noticed since my re-
turn that opinion is divided here. This
