Consul Rose to Admiral Kauts.

The German consul wrote TO Adj
miral Kautz, asking If two great
Christian notions approved of this in
human and barbarous practice against
the laws of Christianity and the de-
cree of the supreme court.
The admiral replied, agreeing with
the consul as to the inhumanity of the
practice. and pointed out that had the
German consul upheld the decree OF
the supreme court of January there
would have been no bloodshed, that
the custom was an old Samoan one,
but first made known to the world ten
years ago, when the heads of honest
German soldiers We're cut off by the
barbarous chief Mataafa, whom the
representative Of the great Christian
nation Germany is now supporting.

Washington, April 13.-The news
from Samoa was received here with n
feeling approaching dismay. There
was a refusal on the part of the higher
officials to discuss the sad event. The
secretary of the German embassy
called early in the day upon Secretary
Hay. Neither of the officials would
disclose anything as to the lature Of
the exchange that took place.
A Dangerous Feature.
The arrest and detention by the
British naval officials of a German sub
ject il one of the most dangerous feat
ures of the controversy. 1t is said that
the consuls of the three rowers sta
toned at Apia claim extra territorial
jurisdiction, involving the right to try
the subject of their respective coun-
tries for any offenses alleged to have
been committed.
Rose May Demand His Surrender.
Under this practice the German con-
SUI Rose, may demand the surrender
OF the German subject. If the man is
guilty it is considered improbable that
the British will yield unless upon
some adequate guarantee that he is to
be sufficiently punished. 1t is not be.
heveo likely that Rose will make such
promise.
Not an Easy Task.
II ia believed that Admiral Kautz,
with the cooperation of the British,
will continue his efforts to bring the
Iebellious natives to terms. This is
not likely to be an easy task. in view
OF the small force at his command, but
1T is possible the British government
may accept the proposition of the an,
thcrities of New Zealand to send a
regiment of soldiers to Apia. No pro.
test thus far has been lodged at the
state department against Admiral
ksutz.
