SNEAK
Continued from First Page.)

Washington, D. c., April THE officials
of the state and navy departments were
deeply interested in the account of the
details of the rising at Apia, as set out in
the Associated Press dispatches received
via San Francisco. So far nothing of an
official character has been received by
them, and the same is true of the British
and German embassies. In this state of
affairs the officials were unprepared to ex-
press any opinion as to the merits of the
actions of the respective parties in Samoa
for publication. 1t may be noted that in
carrying out the wishes of the American
and British officials at Apia leaving the
Germans out Of the calculation, Admiral
Kautz had taken direct issue with the
contention of the German government that
the majority shall not control, but the
best opinion here is that as the admiral
acted to meet an emergency threatening
life and property, and also acted in the
direction of a strict enforcement of the
terms of the Berlin treaty, his attitude
must be held to be unexceptionable. At
any rate, it is apprehended that regard
less of the diplomatic disputation now 60
ing on between the three capitals, Wash
ington, London and Berlin, Admiral
Kautz's vigorous action is likely to Gear
the way for the action of the proposed
commission by practically restoring the
status quo ante bellum.
Berlin, April Herr Thilonius, tutor
of Strassburg university, who was an eye
witness Of the recent occurrence at Samoa,
during a scientific visit to the islands, has
made a special report on the subject to the
foreign Office for the use of the German
members of the Investigation committee.
