WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Attorney Gen.

ply to a letter recently received from Gov
ernor Pingree, of Michigan:
81 am in receipt of your letter Of the

opinion to the effect that under the Con-
stitution Of the United States Congress can

ISOLATION, 166 u. s., 800. and that against the

result has been the suppression by decree

German subjects and German interests
in the Philippines must be provided
with protection by American ships and
American troops.
1t is apparent to the authorities that
the Berlin Government in making
these requests, was actuated by sin
cere desire TO impress upon the Gov
ernment and people of the United
States the fact of Germany's friend
illness for this nation, and to prevent
in future all talk of prospective Ger
man interference in American affairs.
or any intention to take action which
might be distasteful to the United
States
There is no doubt that Germany was
greatly surprised at the Interpretation
placed in some quarters here on the
dispatch from Admiral Dewey stating
that for political reasons" he desired
that the battleship Oregon should be
sent to Manila at once, and there
seems to be little doubt that it was
this Interpretation, and the comments
which followed, that caused her to take
heroic measures and place her inter
ests and her subjects under the pro-
lection of the United States.
With Germany's attitude so plainly
defined the authorities are now assured
that there is absolutely no danger of
foreign interference in the Philippines
Following the request that the United
States take care of German subjects
and interests in the Philippines, the
State Department was informed that
the German armored cruiser Kaiserin
Augusta had been ordered to leave Ma
Mia Immediately for Tientsin, where
display of force will probably be made
to compel the Chinese Government to
punish murderers and pay indemnity
for the murder of two Germans near
that point. With the departure of the
Kaiserin Augusta, Germany will be
without naval representation in the
Philippines, the Irene already having
gone TO the Chinese coast.
AS soon as the State Department
learned of the wishes of the Berlin
Government Secretary Long and Secre-
tary Alger were advised and the cabled
instructions to Rear Admiral Dewey
and General Otis followed, as already
stated.
With respect to Samoa the officials
admit that Germany has made
shrewd move, which will prevent the
United States taking any decisive ac-
ton without fully consulting Berlin.
BY placing German interests there in
the hands Of the Americans this Gov
ernment is made responsible and can
take no action detrimental to them 1t
is intended to cable Rear Admiral
Kautz, when the department is advised
of the arrival of the Philadelphia at

Unbound passenger train on the
Southern Pacific was wrecked early
this morning near Nichols Station in
Cow Creek Canyon. The high water

The train reached the break at $50

climbed out of the cab window and
escaped uninjured except for strained
back and a few bruises.
Fireman NJ. Devaney was pinned be-

and held by the right foot. Everything
possible was done to rescue him; but
slow progress was made until the fire
was extinguished by letting the water
run into the fireboX. Wet blankets

At the same time water poured over
him from the fiume which passed un-
der the track. AS the day wore on he
was in great danger from the rapidly
rising water and it was apparent that
if not released he would drown His
head was kept out of water by men
standing in the stream holding him up.
At one time the only chance to save
him from death seemed to be to cut off
his leg. Fortunately, however the
wrecking train arrived in time to pre-
vent this. The brave fellow was in this
periIous position six hours and bore his
suffering heroically.
Upon examination his injuries are
less serious than at first supposed. His
left leg is scalded above the knee and
his right ankle and foot are sprained
and sealded.
