HE result of the Hanna

utterly useless it is to inves-
tigate the action Of men high

ment no matter how corrupt
they may be. Even when
they are found guilty they
are rewarded instead of pun
ished. Again we say give us

Seattle, Wash, April 90. - A Times
special from Victoria, 3. c., says that
the steamer Morangi, from Australia,
brings advices that the commander Of
the German man-of-war Fake. at Sa-
moa, had been arrested by the British,
and is now held prisoner on the YES
sci Porpoise. He was surprised by q
squad of British sailors handing arms
and ammunition to Mataafa's men.
The report was brought to Australia
by the passengers of the steamer Upo-
la. After the arrest of the Fakes
commander q conference was held be-
tween Capt. Sturdee and Admiral
Kautz, and the Porpoise and Phiiadcl-
phia steamed in a position on either
side of the Fake. Orders were then
sent aboard that if she made a move
of any kind she would be blown out Of
the water. No one is allowed to go
aboard or leave tine German ship of
war without permission written and
signed by either Capt. Sturdee, of the
Porpoise, OF Admiral KautZ.
Fighting continues between the
forces of Mataafa and Maletoa Tanus.
Bush fights, with slight loss of life.
are daily occurrences, and buSiMrSs is
practically at a stanGstill. There is
considerable sickness among scaaien OF

Of the Porpoise's crew died from fever.
Lieut.. Garnet, OF the Porpoise, is
among the sick. Mataafa's cause is
waning.
April 4 is the date on winch the
reported arrest was made.

Cleveland, April 22.-The Marine Re-
view In its issue this week will say:
When it was announced some time ago
that the American Steel and Wire
company had secured control Of five
modern steel freighters of the Zenith
Transit company, or Wolvin fleet, no
reference was made to James J. Fill
or the Great Northern railway in the
deal. 1t was known that Mr.. Hill had
been. and is still, figuring with A. B.
Wolvin to take up the establishment
OF line of steamers on the Pacific be-
tween Puget sound and the Orient,
but it has only lately been learned
that he is also in close relations with
the American Steel and Wire com.
pany, and was not only instigative in
having the Wolvin fleet so to that in
terest, but will soon stand in the same
relation to the American Steel and
Wire company that John D. Rookie.
Teller holds with the Carnegie Steel
company. In other words. Mr.. Hill or
the Great Northern company seems to
have joined hands with the steel and
wire combination in the work of de-
veloping railway, iron mining and
dock interests in Minnesota.

SECUTED AT.
Washington officials Express Disbe-
life in Accuracy of the Report

Washington Officials Express Dishe-
life in Accuracy of the Report.
Washington, April %. - The state
ment that the commander of the Ger
man cruiser Fake had been arrested
at Apia by the British naval command
er was at once secuted by the officials
to whom it was referred here. Both
Secretary Hay and Secretary Long eX-
pressed their disbelief in the accuracy
Of the report. Attention was directed
to the fact that the navy department
had heard from Admiral KautZ by
cable from Auckland at q later date
that that upon which the steamer just
arrived at Victoria must have sailed
from Apia on her long eaSteWard yoy-
age. Admiral KautZ's dispatch was
dated April 4, and it was forwarded
from the nearest cable statiOn-Auck-
land, April -. 1t is regarded as ey-
tremely unlikely that a steamer could
have made the trip from Apia to Vic
toria since April f.. 1t is suggested 2s
an explanation of the story that the
steamers crew had heard Of the ar
rest of the German manager Of the
plantation where the American and
British sailors were ambushed, and of
his being taken aboard the British
warship, and had jumped to the con-
clusion that the person arrested was
the German commander.
1t is pointed out in official German
quarters that the arrest of the COM
mander Of one warship by the COM
mander of another ship is an absurd
ity, and moreover. cable advices have
reached the embassy much later than
these which a steamer could have
brought to British Columbia. no such
action was disclosed. The British en-
bassy also is without any information
OF such an occurrence.

Hepburn, in an interview, has stated
he will support Henderson, and Hen
derson's friends here are confident he
will have the full Iowa delegation. AS
he is chairman Of rules and next to the
speaker. his nomination would be
natural. From Clarinda. the home of
Hepburn. it is claimed he has the solid
support of Iowa. Capt. Hull of Des
Moines. chairman of the military com
mittee. says he will not be a candidate.
Politician shere say no Iowa congress
man is entitled to claim solid dele
CATION. No conference has ever been
held by the delegation on the subject,
and until it is held nothing can be
known. Hepburn and Henderson will
both make strong efforts for the dele
CATION. and it is said the unit rule will
prevail, giving the solid delegation to
the man with majority.

Omaha, April 22.-The river is still
rising at this point and is now within
a foot and a half of the danger line.
The low lands on both sides OF the
river are practically under water now.
Some houses in the northeast part OF
the city are at present surrounded ny
backWater, and another foot VIII
flood a large number, though it will
require a much greater rise to reach
any of the manufacturing Industries
or large warehouses. The tracks Of
the Omaha Bridge and Terminal com,
pany in East Omaha are under water
in places. The water is up to the
newly made grade of the Illinois Cen
trail on the Iowa side, but no damage
is reported as yet. Reports from up
river indicate a still further rise at this
point.
Specials from Onawa. Iowa, state
that the river is the highest since 1881
and still rising. Much rich bottom
land is now under water. At Neck
ling, S. D., the streets in the lower
part of town are under water. The
Sioux and Floyd rivers are bank-full.
and dead animals floating in the cur
rent indicates loss Of live stock.
At Pierre the river is practically on
a stand. registering 80 feet. The
Northwestern has repaired the break
in it's tracks at Rosseau and trains are
moving again. All along the low lands
in Nebraska and South Dakota from
Sioux City north, the water is out Of
the banks and farmers have removed
their stocks and belongings to pisces
Of safety. No losses of consequence
are reported. and it is not thought
there will be any eNcept as the water
remains on the land long enough to
prevent putting in crops.

heavy losses. The Americans. having
exhausted their ammunition. were
compelled to return to their camps.
Later the army tugs opened fire on
the enemy along ,hc river banks. The
rebels are unusually active west of
Malolos. as far as Calumpit They
have been busily at work on their
trenches. and several new trenches
have been discovered within two miles
of the railroad. Fires are burning
east of the railroad, and it would ap-
pear that the rebels are evacuating the
foot-hill towns in anticipation of an at
tack upon the part of the Americaa
troops.
