SENTIMENT AT BERLIN.
Press Accounts of Consul Roses Ac-

Berlin, March 90.-The German gov
eminent was taken wholly by surprise
with the news from Samoa. The i'm
perial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, is
spending his birthday, which occurs to-
morrow, at Baden-B Baden, and the min
lister Of foreign affairs, Baron Won Bu-
low, is enjoying fortnight's vacation
in Holstein. But a well informed indi-
vidual says the government here is
sleptical as to Admiral Kautzs in
structions. He adds that the instruc-
tons for a bombardment We're based
on the British and American claims
that Mataafa was contravening the
Samoan act. But the contravention was
not specified and the government pre-
sumes that if the act was really in
fringed, Herr Rose, the German con-
sui, would also have protested, as his
government had instructed him to
strictly conform to the act.
The assertion that Herr Rose protest
ed against the deposition of the pro-
visional government is doubted here as
it is claimed Herr Rose was instructed
not to identify himself with Mataafa
more closely than the representatives of
the other powers.
city as to the effect the outbreak will
have upon the attitude of the United
States and Great Britain, but the view
remains that the final settlement will
be in no way changed by the outbreak
of hostilitieE. but must be arranged by
the Joint action of the three cabinets
The semi Official Post comments calm
ly upon the new situation. and says
that Germany will remain neutral.

BANK PRESIDENTS OFFENSE.
Hypothetical Stock Belonging to
Another Stakeholder.

New York, March 30-Fernando
Baltez, formerly president of the Me-
chanics and Traders National bank.
was held in $4,000 bail for trial today
in the police court on the charge of
hypothecating 200 shares of the stock
of the bank, belonging to Fernand
Sulzberg. Of the firm of Schwarzschild
& SulZberger, meat dealers
The complaint is that Baltez about
two years ago wished to become presi-
dent of the bank. It is alleged that he
did not have enough stock with which
to elect him and asked Sulzberger. who
was a director in the bank, to buy 200
shares of the bank stock from the man
then president. Baltez it is alleged
wanted these shares loaned to him so
that he could elect himself president.
SulZberger bought he stock for 81. 500
and he allowed Baltez to use them in
his name. Baltez directed that the
dividends should be paid to Sulzberger
and this was done, but Sulzberger al
leges that when he demanded the re-
turn of the stock he found that it had
been hypothecated. Baltez was re-
moved from the bank presidency on
account of his connection with a Pu-
get Sound railroad project

LONG CRUISE OE THE RALEIGH
HOMEWARD VOYAGE OF ONE OF
DEWEY's CRUISERS.
Demonstrations In Her Honor at All
Ports-Welcomed By British OFF,
GERS and Officials.

/
| Copyright. 1889, by the Associated Press.)
! Fayal, Azores, March 30.-The United
States cruiser Raleigh, Captain Joseph
B. Coghlan, from Manila. on Dec. 10, is
coaling here, Will coal at Bermuda on
April s, ard expects to reach New York
on April Is.
The Raleigh has been having stormy
weather in the Atlantic, but has been
| behaving splendidly and proves to be
a good sea boat. All on board are well.
After leaving Manila, on Dec. 10, the
Raleigh stopped at Singapore, Colombo,
Alden, Port Said. Alexandria. Malta,
Algiers and Gibraltar. In all the Brit
ish colonies, the officials of the British
army and navy and the civilian popula-
ton gave the American warship an en-
thusiastic welcome, showing her officers
and crew every form of courtesy. DIM
ners with American decorations and
American national music were given to
Captain Coghlan and his officers every
where, in marked difference to the re-
ception of the Raleigh on her outward
passage two years ago.
Governors, general, admirals and 9TH
er high officials all wished to visit and
inspect the ship.
The Raleigh still has her war paint
on. AT Singapore she met Spanish
transport having on board troops and
sailors from Manila. Although flying a
Warships pennant, the Spanish ship
lowered her colors and permission was
granted the Spaniards to visit the Ra-
leigh, where they fraternized with the
American sailors, who We them much
needed food and clothing. Many of the
Spaniards showed the Americans the
wounds inflicted upon them by shells
of the American fleet.
AT the island of Malta in the Mediter-
ranean, the Raleigh met the British
Mediterranean fleet, consisting of ten
battleships and a number of cruisers.
The British sailors extended a most
cordial welcome to the Americans, and
the sailors of the fleet and the soldiers
of the garrison entertained the crew of
the Raleigh ashore, the best of feeling
prevailing.
During her stav at Malta, the Ra-
leigh was crowded with British redcoats
and bluejackets.
The American officers were entertain
ed at Cairo by United States Consul
Harris, and all the British and Egypt
ian officers were present.
The French at Algiers showed a
marked difference. There was no re-
ception except from the British and
American residents, though the French
officials were polite.
AT Gibraltar the crew of the Raleigh
saw the Spanish feet commanded by
Admiral Camara. 1t consisted of six
ships and was anchored across Algeci-
ras bay. The Spanish fleet and the Ra-
leigh sailed at the same time and pro-
ceeded close to each other. The Ra-
leigh hoisted the Spanish flag and sa-
luted it. The salute was promptly re-
turned by the Spanish admiral from his
flagship, the Emperor Carlos V. The
Raleigh in two years has cruised $4,000
knots.
