SAY 0yERMUCH HAS BEEN YIELDED
Too Far, Or Something Unlocked
For Will Occur-The Kreuse
Zeitung's Warning.

Berlin, April 1.-The latest Developments
of the Samoa muddle have claimed the
greater part of public attention this week.
The government is most reticent to the dis
satisfaction of the press, and in the alb
sence of clear information from headquar-
ters regarding the attitude of the govern
ment, editorial comment is varied and con-
Trajectory. The agrarian organ attacks the
minister of foreign affairs, Baron Won Bue-
low, and the government for yielding over
much to the United States ambassador,
Andrew d. White, and to the authorities at
Washington. The Nationalist Deutche Zei-
tung says:
MANY Germans are disappointed with
the Won Buelow regime, and wish Marscha1
Won Beitzerstein's, bad as it was, back
again"
The Kreuse Zeitung says there is abund-
ant confirmation at hand showing it not
so much the United States as Great Britain
that has placed difficulties in front of every
step Germany has taken or wished to take
in Samoa and expresses amazement that
while Great Britain has attempted to
make Germany believe she was friendly,
the British policy of envy continues"
The Kreuse Zeitung adds:
Error of Calculation
"England's calculations seem to be that
Germany will not risk a conflict over such
a trife as Samoa The error of this cacu-
lation is that our prestige in the world de-
pends on the maintenance of our acquired
rights We are ready to agree to fair COM
promise. including the abolition of the con-
dominum. The second that we cannot CO."
1t is understood that the foregoing was
inspired
Another article in the Kreuse Zeitung
says:
1T is shameful that in spite of the para
mount German interests in Samoa, English
is the only language officially allowed
The paper then asks the government to
seek in the negotiations pending that Ger
many is accorded equal rights with Eng
land In conclusion the Kreuse Zeitung re-
marks:
"England's success in Samoa at Ger
many's cost would be the worst business
England has done for the last 100 years.
The Tageblatt expresses confidence that
neither Great Britain nor the United States
will override legitimate German rights, and
maintains the government possesses infor-
nation to the effect that no such attempt
will be made.
Complaints Against Chambers
The Cologne Gazette publishes letters
from it's correspondent at Samoa. The
latest, dated February 49, bears the oldest
complaints against Chief Justice Chambers,
who is charged with oversteppng his func-
tions toward Dr. Raffel and Herren Fries
and Won Bueow. The correspondent also
claims that the landing of the blue jackets
and marines from the British cruiser Por-
poise in the Grevesmuhl affair was injudi-
cious and calculated to make matters
worse. According to this correspondent
the whole attitude of the British represen-
tatives was wrong and the rigid non-inter-
ference of the German warship Fake In the
native ouarrels was the only correct one
The Gazette corrects several of the corre-
spondents statements, but maintains that
Mr.. Chambers attitude has been incorrect
