GERMANY SUSPENDS JUDGMENT.

London. March 3l.-The Berlin correspondent
Of "Ihe Times" says:
Pending further information from Samoa. the
German press refrdins from comment calculated
to embitter the controversy or to imperil the
pending negotiations The events that have oc-
CURED are deplored mainly because they may
influence public opinion adversely to the Gov
ernments policy Of cultivating Eneland's
friendship. 1t IS feared they may give occasion
to d suspicious and mlstrustful section OF the
public to reproach the Government with the
first fruits OF its rapprOchement with England
and the United States. On the other hand, no
inclination exists TO form premature judg-
ment on he action Of Admiral Kautz and the
British and American officials"
