Berlin. April 22.-The Loksl Anzeiger to-
day publishes two letters from Samoa, dat
ed March %. One of them is from its spe-
cial correspondent at Apa, Herr Won
Wolffersdorff, and the other from Herr
Marquardt. a prominent German resident
of Apla, who, under Tamasese, was mill
tary instructor, and later under Mataafa,
and the provisional government, was justice
of the peace until he resigned on the de-
parture of DR.. Raffel. the German presi-
dent of the municipal government Of
Apia
From Herr Marquardt's letter it appears
that it was he- and not Herr Huffnagel
who was arrested by Capt. Sturdee. com
mander of the British warshlp Porpose,
for bearing arms against the British sail
ors. He says he was taken on board the
Porpoise where, he claims, he was gross
ly insulted by Capt. Sturdee, ana that
after fifteen hours captivity, during which
no proof against him was advanced. he
was transferred to the German warship
Fake, but with the condition that he
was not 20 leave her. Herr Marduardt
asserts that his property was stolen and
destroyed by Malletoa Tanu's hosts and
that millions of other German property
were likewise destroyed.
The writer then asks VIII viii nay the

Herr Won Wolffersdorff asserts that the
British consul, Mr.. Maxse, and Capt. Stur-
dee were both guilty OF the grossest con-
duct in exceeding their treaty powers. He
claims they treated the Germans like cap
tives and continued an almost incessanl
shelling of German houses under various
pretexts. He adds that the most intense
indignation prevailed among the Samoan
Germans against the British excesses
Otherwise, Herr Won Wolffersdorff re.

the enemy In front of Novalches az S;1S

partment, and IL Is not known whether or

Charleston, c. g., April 22.-At 1915
o'clock this morning the jury in the case
of the Lake City lynching reported its
inability to reach verdict. The jury was
out twenty-five hours.
In dsmissing the jury, Judge Brawley
was again moved to tears, as he referred
90 the crime. The case goes over 10 the
next term of court for retrial
1t is understood that the jury stood FIVE
for conviction and seven for acquittal
when the last effort was made to reach
a verdict When the first ballot was taxi
en- the jurors were evenly divided Later
they stood seven to five for conviction and
then two men changed to the side of the
prisoners.
Judge Brawley delivered an impressive
address TO the Jurors efter hearing their
announcement During the course of 1t
he criticised lynchings most severely He
said the officials who appointed Baker
postmaster could not escape a share of
the responsibility for the fearful crime
that had been committed.
Continuing, he commented upon the in
crease in instances Of mob violence that
had become conspicuous during the last
forty years, and he urged upon the Jurors
to go to their homes and to impress upon
the people of South Carolina the neces-
sty of putting an end to terrible crimes.

white people Of the state, he said now had
the control Of affairs absolutely In their

them.

age and went with him willingly he was
released.
Although it was known that the young
lady had disappeared il was thought that
she had only been sent away. The finding
of her body. with it's accompanying evb-
denoe of foul play, came like a thunder
clap from a clear sky. The community Is
stirred to it's very depths, but it is hardly
probable that any hasty action will be
taken.

the commission of the crime. The body

Some Criticism.
Washington, April 22.--The German am
bassador, DR.. Won Holleben. called on Sec
retary Hay to-day, which led to reports
that the attention of the state department
had been called to the remarks of Capt.
Coshfan OF the cruiser Raleigh at a New
York banquet last night. relating his per-
sonal observations of a rebuke and threat
administered by Admiral Dewey TO the
German naval commanders at Manila.
IL was stated positively, however. that
no protest or representations were made,
as II is understood to be the German view
rat this is matter in which the authori-
'ISs should be left to take the initiative.
Al the same time 1t Is known that Capt
Cognians remarks caused considerable dis
pleasure in high diplomatic and naval
quarters, mainly because they are con-
iary TO the policy which the two govern
ments nave adopted of giving as little pub
s!c expression as possible TO the friction
"hlcA may have occurred at Manila.
~ naval quarters there is a disposition
10 regard Capt. Coghlans statements as
swing some rather ugly truths, which
nave heretofore been CLOSED over on
s.ounds Of public policy.
Inc responsible naval officials have, how
ever, shared the policy OF minimizing the
liIcuohs at Manila. But In the present case
o"iAg to Capt. Coghlan's splendid services
uley are not disposed to be captious In

south Carolina Negroes want He
venge for Lynchings.
Charleston, s. c., April 22.-An outcome
of the Greenwood county negro lynching
is reported from the adjoining county,
Saluda.
The negroes of Richardsonvilie, where
they are very numerous, have determined
to prevent negro lynchings and whlte-cap-
pings. and the plan adopted is to murder
a white man or burn the home Of a white
man for every negro that Is lynched or
whipped.
They are said to have banded themselves
together for this purpose, led on by Peter
son, negro preacher who halls from
Greenwood, and who infames the passions
OF his flock by constant repetitions of the
Phoenix slaughter of negroes and other
'outrages inflicted upon our race"
The story comes from alleged good ali-
thority though the name of the informer
is not given. 1t will be thoroughly investl-
gated by the people of Saluda Court House.
No action has yet been taken by the
whites, as the expose has just been made.
