Washington, March 30. The news
from Samoa that the United States
cruiser Philadelphia and the British
cruisers Porpoise and Royalist had
bombarded the towns held by Mataafa,
who has thus far had the official sup
port OF the German government, came
with startling suddenness to officials
here.
The Smelling of Mataaia was looked
lpon as of secondary Importance, but
the deepest interest attached to the
attitude of the German government.
At first apprehensions were felt
that grave international complications
might ensue, but those most intimately
familiar with the latest official OK
changes between Washington, London
and Berlin did not take such gloomy
view.
team be stated that the outbreak
now reported will hardly cause a
rupture in the relations between the
United States and Germany, or be-
tween Great Britain and Germany.
The actual results Of the lombard
ment are regarded as far more serious
than those which had been expected
and provided for during the recent
diplomatic exchanges between the
'.tuo tBuNeIuHlbnLS. moreover, new
elements of international danger had
unexpectedly arisen. These included
NE proclamation of the German Consul,
Rose, which, it is believed, tend to
lncite the Mataafa party to an open
revolt; also the wounding and killing
o. British sailors and marines, the
shooting of an American sentry, and
\ ~ me attacks on the several Consulates,
These all involve unknown possibilities
OF serious complication. II is felt that
..ne German press and national senti-
nent may be wrought to high pitch
ny the events which have occurred,
and this outburst of popular feeling
may overcome the strong effects of
uacials to keep the subject within
pacific bounds.
Ihe diplomatic exchanges have boon
WY sharp within the last few days.
harly last week the Berlin government
t,eecsiyed direct information from Samoa
mat Admiral Kautz had arrived there
and had summoned q meeting of all
uie officials for March 18th. The
herman authorities felt sure this
"eeling would result in serious trouble.

not be construed as the coast in the mean
ing of the treaty, which defines the boun-
dairy lying ten marine leagues from the
coast. According to this claim the Cana
dian line now laid down ranbles about with
delightful disregard for the rational rules
Of geography and cnts across inlets with
freedom. Conveniently choosing two acct
dental headlands on the Lynn canal, it be-
comes possible for the modern Canadian
topographer to draw a line which abso-
lutey shuts the United States off from a
large body of what is essentially ocean
water.
1t is to be seen from the map in question
that the issue between the countries is
radical. 1t involves immense future values.
Canada appears to be playing this game for
all it is worth. Relying upon the home
government to do all the heavy work in the
event of war the colony demands conces-
siOns which no self-respectng nation can
grant and refuses to bulge from an ad-
vanced position. Unless the government at
London is willing to ALLEVIATE the ultra
Canadian sentiment by adopting policy of
precise justice in this affair there is no
present prospect of a break in the dead
lock. There are suggestions at hand of the
institution of a commercial war by this
country to bring Canada to her senses.
That is probably the only kind of warfare
which the controversy threatens.
