WEAKENING ON SCHLEY.
Opposition Appears to Have Had
Enough.

New York, June pa dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Should the president decide, after con-
sultation with Secretary Long. not TO df-
rect an investigation of the Schley con-
troversy, the suggestion will be advanced
to him that the admiral be given duty at
sea. Rear Admiral Schley stands ready
for sea service and after his return from
Porto Rico applied for the command of
a squadron His applica ton, however.
was not granted, although the department.
in the meantime assigned Rear Admiral
Kautz to command the Pacific station
and organized the South Atlantic station
with Rear Admiral HowisOn as its COM
mander-in-chief. Because of the lack of
men-of-war the European squadron has
not been reformed.
Rear Admiral Howison will retire from
active service on October 10, but will be
detached from his command on October
5. on which date the Chicago will arrive
in New York. 1t is suggested that Rear
Admiral Schley be assigned. to duty as his
successor. It may be that Admiral Kautz
willing to relinquish his command of the
Pacific squadron, in which event this duty
could be given to Schley.

LOSSES IN SAMOA.
Germany Is Likely to Make Claim o 4
England and America.

Washington, June 22.-In connection
with Baron Won BulOw'S statement to
the reichstag as to indemnity claims of
Germany for losses in Samoa, the June
issue of the PruSSian annual, just re-
ceived in official quarters here, contains
a discussion of how far it will be pos
sible to assert claims for losses suffered
by German trade and capital in conse-
quence of the war-like events of the
last year in the West Indies, the Phil
ippines and Samoa. A distinction is
made between such losses as were
brought about directly by the war and
such as were the indirect result of the
conditions of war as for instance, the
ruin or long storage of goods in con-
sequence of the impossibility of ship
ping them by reason of the blockade,
increased insurance premiums, double
freights, increased expenditure for the
suspension of business as well as losses
of interest. The report continues:
THE compensation for the more in
direct damage will be, according to the
ruling principles of international law,
a, matter of the greatest difficulty, yet
it is evident that the Germans will have
to be considered at most to the same
extent as subjects of other neutral ma
tionS are compensated for such losses.
AS regards the losses caused directly
by the war subjects of neutral states
living within the boundary of state
engaged in war have no claim to a priv
ileged treatment through the belligerent
parties; they are considered to belong
to the population of the country and to
share their fate. Claims for cOmpenSa-
ton may, therefore, as far as the war in
the Philippines is concerned, be settled
only by way of arbitration or agree
ment. Thus, according to International
law, foreign states are not liable for
losses incurred by domestic troubles,
if a responsibility of the respective for
eign government connot be conclusively
made out on account that it had been
able to prevent the damage. On the
other hand there is no doubt that full
compensation must be granted for all
such cases where Spanish or American
authorities and troops have seized the
property of neutralS for their own use
or where these authorities and troops
have illegally caused losses.
LAS regards compensation for the
damage done to Germans in Samoa, a
state of war has existed, contrary to the
clear provision of the Samoan act, be-
tween the Anglo-American troops and
the majority of the inhabitants of
Samoa during which those troops have
violated a custom recognized by inter-
national law by not notifying the Ger
mans on March Is of the impending
bombardment of Apia. Here a sense of
fairness certainly ought to demand
compensation to the Germans for losses
occasioned by England and America
The author comes finally to the con-
cluSi0n that governments must assert
only such claims as are well founded
and for which the obligation for COM
pensation is clearly established by in
ternatiOnal law.

trouble in the Lung Hee laundry on Third
avenue, because the Hong Wah Hon. the

cut prices. His name is Frank w Stan

bought. Stanton started the laundry
about three weeks ago. Mun Lung had
charge of the accounts. The Hong Wah
Hon carefully selected the time when the
laundry packages could be most thorough
ly mixed, and carried Wun Lung away
Stanton hustled around and found an
other Chinaman to take Wun Lungs
place But not all the Cinnamon in New
York could straighten out the laundry
packages. All today Stanton was reap
ing the whrlwind. Young women went
into the place with mems waistcoats and
pajamaS, and they declared that they were
insulted. Men went back with things eX-
clusively feminine.
Stanton did not lose his temper. He
Strengthened out things best he could,
spoke vigorously about the Chinese union.

To Save the Palisades.

New York, June pa popular move
ment has begun in order to save the
highly picturesque and historic Palli-
sades along the Hudson-the American
Nile-from being further despoiled by
hungry contractors and dynamite. The
plan as outlined is to raise sufficient
funds to take the proceedings already
instituted to the highest tribunal and
fight it out there. The subscription list
has attained figures of considera BILE
magnitude. and, judging from the way
thousand-dollar checks are being
thrown at the leaders of the movement,
it ought to be a success. At least that
is the hope of all residents in the me-
tropolis who have an appreciation of
natures handiwork in their compost
ton.
