Berlin. April 5.-The negotiations be-
tween the German Minister of Foreign
Affairs. Baron Won Buelow, the United
States Anna mabassador, Andrew ID. White,
and the British Ambassador, Sir Frank
c. IMscellees, continue. The represen-
tative of Great Britain still favors the
majority rule within the proposed Sa-
moan investigation commission, Germany
wants unanimity, according TO the Ber-
lin act, and the United States acqulesces
III the latter.
Mr.. White said to the correspondent
here of the Associated Press:
Il believe Engfand will yield TO unan-
unity The delay III decision is probably
due to Lord SaIisbury's absence. AS a
compromise | offered that each power
appoint three commissioners, with seven
to decide But this met with small
favor Germany thinks that it Will not
be difficult to secure unanimity within
the commission il the commissioners
are instructed to be conciliatory.
Official dispatches from Washington
say the American representatives at
Samoa have been instructed to proceed
cautiously and return to the status quo.
All other reports, such as that the Uni
ted States and Great Britain will dold
Germany responsible for the deaths of
blue jackets during the recent fights,
are baseless."

Manila, April 5.--6:20 L. M.-There
are persistent rumors to-day that Agui-
naldo, the insurgent leader, has been
supplanted in the control of Filipino af-
fairs by General Antonio Luna, COM
mander-in-chief of the Filipino force.
Luna is described as being a typical bei-

has been approved by number of rep
resentative Manilans.
English bankers who have been inter-
viewed ON the subject : are optimistic
upon the attitude of the Americans. as
suming that it indicates that the decis-
i've policy will undoubtedly be success
ful.
a Spanish banker who was interview
ed expressed the fear that the procla-
nation will not reach the masses con-
trolling the rebellion. because, he ex-
planned, the Filipinos at Manila are
mostly domestics and clerks who have
no definite opinions. and the wise-pullers
outside of the city have undoubtedly in
tercepted it.

OF THE COMMISSION
Powers Now Exchanging Notes With
Regard to This Matter.

Washington, April 5.-The Samoan
agreement for a high commission has
progressed to the point where the three
Governments are exchanging notes rs
to the members of the commission. This
is accepted as an assurance that Lord
Salisbury accepted not only the principle
OF the commission but the commission
itself. as the consideration Of the British
delegate would hardly be entered upon
unless the comlnmission was assured.
There will be one commissioner from
each country. of about the same relative
rank or standing.
The semi-offical announcement that
the German Government Will not appoint
either Consul General Rosenthall or
Consul General Rose as its reprcsrn-
tative ON the Samoan commission. taken
in connection with the declaration of 4

rank of consul general for the place.

Now, however, tle high commission may
have such enlarged powers that IN ef-

retirement of all the present officials,
and the virtual acceptance of Germlnys 3

Germany's Aim is Ultimately Division

New York. April 5.-The Commercial
London correspondent cables to-day as
follows:
Though the three Governments de-
sire to expedite matters in the arrange
ment of the personnel of the samoan
commission. it will probably require some
weeks to settle the preliminaries, with
Washington the seat Of the deliberations.
