He attribut- ed this largely to the fact that most of them were sick. Dr. Huidekoper said the canned beef was generally of poor quality. Captain Williams told of the condemnation of the beef on board the transport Panama. General Arnold's testimony dealt with the beef supplied at Jacksonville, which was, he said, generally wholesome. Members of the court express confidence of being able to conclude the taking of testimony by the early part of next week.

Official German Despatch.

Berlin, April 12.-An official despatch from Apia dated April 5, says: "The British have been bombarding a Sa- moan village daily and the adherents of both Tanu and Mataafa are plunder- ing foreign property. On April an glo-American landing party of seven- ty men fell into an ambuscade near Vailele (the dispatches of the Associat- ed Press from Apia had it Vasele). Three officers were killed and two light guns were captured. The warships af- forwards renewed the bombardment. The officials here point out that the en- gagement appears to have occurred at the same place that landing party from the German Warships Olga, Fiber and Adler had an encounter with the natives in 1888.
