ttsiemef a ame from the navy depart.
m ent, giving a brisf despatch from Ad-
mirai Ksutz This threw no light on
the latest outbreak and owing to tan gle
Ct Gates it served only TO further involve
the cflicinl mystery. In view OF the fact
that the fighting WAS widespread ami
long continued ,and that the foreign oiiics
at London and Berlin had been officially
advised Of the affair, 1t was regarded as
somewhat strange that the state and navy
departments should he entirely without
information on bombardment by Hn
American admiral. Up to the close Of
oilioe hours IL was stated that nothing
had come from any of our representative
In Samon dealing with the outbreak OF
hostilities lhe calls Of Sir Julian and
Baron Sternberg were mainly for inior-
nation, for at neither of the embassies
had there been report of the occurrence
up to the time of the calls.
The President very much regrets that
serious trouble las arisen in Samoa, but
has requested full information from our
officials in Samoa at the earliest possible
moment. 1t is learned that the despatch
of Rear Admiral Kautz dated Samoa, the
10th, TO which he referred IN his cable
dated Auckland, today, gave the result
OF his Investigations into the situation
after his arrival. His conclusion fully
sustained the contention of the British
ana American consul which was In ex
act accordance with the conclusion al
ready reached by the British naval COM
mander, Capt Sturdse of the Porpoise.
AT the foreign embassies, whtrs the
Samoan crisis has been subject of con
sideration of late, considerable anxiety
was shown today lest the affair should
assume grave International aspect.
Is to the German attitude it Is stated
positively In quarter thoroughly IA
mi.iar With German official sentiment
that the outbreak now repo, ted can undel
no circumstances be construed ms al
overt act against. Germany, nor as casu'
belli. This is from such source thai
IL largely removes the possibility of inter

While it appears that the American
aud British representatives thought the

the meeting held on the Philadelphia had
no jurisdiction because the unanimous
approval of the thres consuls is recess

The National Zeitung adds that further
information is necessary in order to show
whether the Americans and British had
sufficient reason for resortinR to armed

Gazette says semi-oiloially:
"For some time we have noticed that
the efforts of the English Press TO create
bad blood between the United states
and Germany have again taken fresh i'm
pulse from the latest Developments al Sn-
moa. Not to mention other Instances
which show that mood of the k1gltsh
press, the London Times, a few days ago,
circulated a false story to the efieut that
Germany WAS intending TO withdraw
from the Berlin treaty. Now the Daily
Chronicle claims to know as n fact that
the American ambassador, Mr. Whit :,
has aroused great dissatisfaction in tAe
United States, because of his handling
the Samoa question practically from tie
German standpoint IL would be honor
ing the Daily Chronicle too much II we
were to endeavor to protect the American
ambassador against that absolutely un-
proved accusation of IL serious viola tion
of his duties. For us 1t is sufficient tC
say again how bitterly and with what
talent in inventing false reports the
English press /, pursuing everything
which Is suspected of being apt to foster
the good and friendly relations between
the United States and Germany"
