Manila, April 6.-Thcre has been a
in order to allow the Filipinos to di-
gest the proclamation of the United

of General Lawton's line have bor-

Agreement for the Settlement Of
SanOan Affairs.
TO ACT BY UNANIMOUS VOTE
Already fhe President is Being Be-
sieged by rfen Who Have Had 10
do With Samoa 10 Be Made Amer
ica'S Representative on the
joint Commission Herr SoEf
Leaves Washington.

Washington. April 6.-The German
ambassador, Dr. Won HOIleben called
at the state department today to felic-
itate Secretary Hay en the satisfactory
adjustment of the Samoan affairs.
Even as late as yesterday afternoon,
the last possibilities of hitch had not
disappeared, but late in the day official
dispatches were received from Berlin
stating that as result of the con-
ference between German, British and
American representatives q settlement
was assured. The main features of
this conference was in the determine
tion that the high commission would
act by unanimous vote and not
through a majority. The present ten
dency is not to provide final arbitra-
tor, but to assume that the commits
siOners will agree among themselves.
Herr Solf, who is to succeed DR..
Rappel as president Of the municipal
council OF Apia, left Washington to-
day for his post. He intends to stop
in Chicago for a day or two and also
at Colorado Springs, Colo, planning
his movements SO as to be able to
take the steamer at San Francisco
some time between the 10th and 18th
of next month.
The state department has not yet
selected its representative on the
Samoan commission, but the Presi-
dent is giving the matter his personal
attention. Nearly every American who
has had anything to do with Samoa in
a representative capacity in recent
years has turned up as an applicant for
this place. But the state department
does not feel disposed to choose from
among them. particularly for the
reason that it is deemed proper to
name some person who has not been
involved in any manner in the past
difficulties of the islands. If there is
any intention Of securing an amicabie
agreement between the three powers
interested in Samoan affairs, it is be-
leved that some such policy as this is
essential.

TALK WITH MIR. WHITE.

Berlin, April 6.-When Andrew d.
White, United States ambassador, yes
terday told the correspondent here of
the Associated Press in reply to an in
quiry on the subject, that he knew
nothing Of the report that he was to be
appointed to represent the United
States at the peace conference, his ap-
pointment had really not arrived, ow-
ing partly to the fact that Mr.. Whit
deliberated for long while. After
speaking to the correspondent Mr.
White sent cable accepting the ap-
pointment and today lle informed the
correspondent that he believes five
delegates and one secretary will be
sent to The Hague. Nh. White further
expressed the belief that the confer
ence will meet on the cars birthday,
May Is, and said that the report that
the delegates were to be instructed Il
certain way was premature and that in
any case nobody thinks Of asking the
United States to reduce its army. Mr..
White also remarked that the United
States is deeply interested in the ar
bftration feature to be discussed at the
conference.

each, SO they will realize probably
100000 from the governments gift of
one-fourth of that sum. Director Rob
erts is already receiving letters from
coin collectors who want to be sure of
getting one of this limited output. He
will have nothing to do with their dis
tribution, but these letters indicate the
zeal OF the coin collector, upon whose
speciality the government counts upon
making so good a profit The bullion
to be used in making these coins viii
be purchased by the government, in
stead of using some of the ample stock
already in the vaults of the treasury.

Cruiser Detroit to Go to Central
America.
SHE MAY HAVE WORK TO Do
Unless fhe Ntcarsguan Government
HeedS fhe American Protests
Against the Action OF General
Torres She'll Have TO Pay the
Piper-InSurgenfs in Costa Rica
are TO Be Dealt with Too.

Washington, April 6.-The cruiser
Detroit, which is now lying off La
Guayara, Venezuela, has been ordered
post haste to Bluefields, Nicaragua, for
the protection of American interests in
that quarter On the way she will
touch at Port Limon, Costa Rica, where
her commander will put himself in
communication with the United States
consul at that point and where he may
also receive further instructions. She
is also likely to make very brief
stop at Greytown.
Her dispatch under hurry orders is
at the urgent request of the state de-
partment to which American residents
both at Bluefelds and in Costa Rica
have appealed for protection of Amer
lean interests. The arbitrary and ex-
tortionate policy adopted by General
Torres, who on more than one occasion
has made himself persona non grata
to this government and whose restora-
tion to power at this time has been fol-
lowed by acts which American resi-
dents resent and protest against, is the
main cause of the vessels dispatch.
The state department at the same
time has cabled instructions to the
United States diplomatic representa-
tive at Bluefields to lodge an energetic
protest with the Nicaraguan govern
ment against the action Of General
Torres and disregard of this protest
Twill be followed by a more positive
step on the part of this government.
In Costa Rica, American business in
terests and residents are in trouble as
the result of an insurrectionary move
ment 1t is understood that the in
surgents are levying forced loans on
them, besides collecting exorbitant du-
ties on imports.

ESTERHAZY'S RECORD
Sensation Caused in Paris bY the
Publication of Official Record.

| Paris, April 6.-The Figaro publishes
the official record of the military court
which tried Major Esterhazy in
1898. 1t appears from it that Ester
hazy was accused of sending three
| threatening letters to President Faure
General PeliieuX testified that Es-
tcrhazy told him that he had received
an offer of 100000 francs from Jews
through the medium of an English
journalist, if he would confess that he
was the author of the bordereau
| Lieutenant Colonel du Patty dc
| Clam testified that he heard that Es-
| tcrhazy intended writing to the Ger
man emperor, and suggested to Ester
hazy to write to President Faure in
stead. Esterhazy affirmed that the
! letters addressed to President Faure
were dictated by Du Paty de Clam
This the latter at first denied, but
when pressed by the President of the
court he admitted that he had drafted
a shelton of the letters.
Testimony by General dc Boisdeffre
and others proved that Esterhazy act
cd as agent to the general staff, COM
municating Information to the Lfbre
Parole and other newspapers He
violated the confidence reposed in him
and the staff abandoned him.
AT the close of the evidence the Pres
ident Of the court put three issues to
his colleagues, as followst First,
should Esterhazy be retired for habit
ual misbehavior? Second, was he
guilty of a grave offence against dis
ipline? Third, WAS he guilty of grave
offence against honor? The court
voted on the first issue in the aftirma-
tive, to 2. The second issue was
unanimously rejected and the third
was negatived by vote of to ].
General Zurlinden's letter transmit
ting the findings of the court mini
mized the verdict, pointing out the
narrow majority against Esterhazy
and urging light punishment.
The publication of the record caused
a sensation and there is much specula-
tiOn as to how the Figaro obtained it.
1t VIII he remembered that the issue of
the report was limited. A copy was
supplied to each member of the court
of cessation and each cf the ministers
and no other copies were to be had.
The government has ordered an in
quiry to learn who has been guilty of a
breach Of faith
