Berlin, April 22.-The Lokal An2eigcr
today publishes two letters from Samoa
dated March %. One of them is from its
special correspondent at Apia. Herr Won
WolffersdorfT. and the other from Herr
Marquardt, a prominent German resident
OF Apia, who under Tamasese was mill
tary instructor and later under Matalla
and the provisional government was JUS
tice of the peace. until he resigned On the
departure OF DR.. Rafael. the German rresl-
dent of the municipal government OF Apia
From Herr Marquardt's letter ii appears
that 1t was he and not Herr Hufnagle who
was arrested By Captain Sturdee COM
mander of the British ship Porpolse, for
bearing arms against the British sailors
He SAYS he was taken on board the Por-
poise, where he claims he was grossly in
suited by Captain Sturdee, and after four
teen hours of captivity, during which no
proof against him was advanced, he was
transferred to the German warship Fake,
but on condition he was not TO leave 1t.
Herr Marquardt asserts that his property
was stolen and destroyed by Malietoa Ia
nus hosts and that millions of other Ger
man property were likewise destroyed.
The writer then asks who will pay the
damages.
Herr Won WolGersdorfi asserts that the
British consul MIR. Maxse, and Captain
Sturdee, are both guilty OF the grossest
misconduct In exceeding their treaty pow
ers. He claims they treated the Ger
mans like captives and continued an al
most ncessant Smelling of German houses
under pretext He adds that the most In
tense Indignation existed among the Sa-
means against the British excuses. 9th
erwise Herr Won Wolffersdorffs reports
agree with the German official reports

rating Commission Hehnshed.

Copyright, 1899, by Associated Press)
Berlin, April 22,--The meat inspection
bill in the reichstag and the midland canal
bill In the diet have engrossed attention
this week. The sgrarians and resctionlsts
oppose both measures and the ultimate fate
OF the bills will be interpreted as evidence
OF the fighting strength Of the parties.
The canal bill occupied more time in the
diet than did tho meat inspection bill but
In the reichstag the first reading OF the
latter required two days while the former
took Ave days. Both bills have gone 10
special committees, where they will prob
ably be much altered, possibly more than
acceptable TO tho government, in when
case they may be withdrawn.
The ranks OF the opponents of the bill
we're strengthened this week by the ac-
cossion OF Baron Stumul. also called the To-
cal coal king and formerly bosom friend
of Emperor William, a fact which is much
commented upon, IN view Of his majesty
prediction for the project, Tno govern
msnt thus far does not fear the entire fali-
ure Of either measure. -,
Regarding the meat inspection Dill
tarests. there were many interesting feat
ures In the rcichstag debate. The agrari-
ans made a point oil directing their re-
marks at Prof. Stiles, the scientific attacne
of the United States embassy, VINO was
present during the whole debate, but VINO
has now started for homo on account OF
family matters. Trichtnosis was discussed
by the speakers and the charge made that
American pork rs frequently affected by
y
constantly reiterated in the press, reichs-
tag and lower house. 1t was notable that
the debate was practically repetition OF
statements made to the United States army
board investigating committee with the
worst evidence and bitterest construction
OF all sorts OF American press comment
Tse reputation OF leading American pack
ing houses was torn to shreds by quota
lions from American publications whicn
were read. It may be assumed that this
will be the line OF argument followed by
tho opponents OF the bill for the comment
