the officials, therefore 1 have an ak to

twenty years and find it pretty tough grind
ing, made much more so by just such argu-
ments as Citizen" in the Journal of Feb l
brings before the public for the purpose of
influencing the Legislature, thereby forcing
the railroads to spend large sums of money
in sending their officials and others before
these Legislatures to work for their inter-
ests; otherwise such money could be used
for better equipment, or, as in times past,
increasing some of their employees wages
that were not what they should be. True,
duction of wages; but how many men did
they relieve and add their duties to others
that already had all any man should do
and do 1t properly? i am not in favor OF
giving the railroads the earth, but do think
they should be given equal show with any
other business. What would Citizen
think of a Legislature that would tell the
Atlas engine works that they should only
charge so much for their finest equipment
calico, just because they thought profit
enough could be made at that price? Has
he ever entered into the details of a rail-
road and attempted to figure out a profit
at cents per mile? Has he stopped to think
that Indiana gets more taxes from railroads
than most other States. and more in proper
ton than she gets from any other business
or idle capital, because it is visible and all
assessed? / do not think now is the time
when the proper time comes competition

RAFFEL MUST QUIT SAMOA.
United States Has Probably Demanded
the German's Recall.

WASHINGTON, Feb. while the State
Department has received nothing by cable
gram from Auckland, confirmatory of the
press advices as to the last series of events
in Samoa, it Is assumed that these fully
warrant such action has been taken by
the government in the matter of represen-
tations to the German foreign minister 1t
is quite apparent that the German officials
in Samoa have transgressed the rights
conferred on them by treaty, at the expense
of the American and British interests. Some
thing of this kind was almost expected In
view of the irascble disposition exhibited
by Dr. Raffel, the German president of the
municipal council, and in the attempt to
secure the removal of such a dangerous ele-
ment from the scene the government here
gave a ready assent to his replacement by
another German. Unfortunately, however,
Raffel held over long after it was supposed
here that he had departed from Apia For
long time past RaffeI had been acting in
manner to convey the belief that he was
the sole authority on the island of Upolu
and the relations between himself and the
American and British contingent, official as
well personal, had become exceedingly
strained. He affected a disregard for the
chief justice that approached the line of
SOIANSAlEl MISUNDERSTANDING the TACT InaC THIS
chief justice, though an American was the
representative of Germany as much as of the
United States or OF Great Britain. He re-
fused to answer the processes of the court
and although he has been made the subject
of a judgment for refusal on this score. no
attempt has been made to enforce that iudG-
ment because of lack of power on the part
of the chief justice, whose administration
thus far has been degraded in the eyes of
the natives whose respect is essential to the
successful exercise of his functions 1t is
not believed here that the German govern
ment has appreciated the extent and i'll
effects of the acts of its agents in Apia, and
it is confidently believed that when it comes
into possession of the facts set out in these
last press reports from Apia as to what is
going on there, it will take steps at once to
abate them.
The State Department has been informed
that Chief Justice Chambers of Samoa, has
made long report upon the circumstances
attending the recent uprising at Apia. This
report was addressed to each of the three
powers under whose authority the chief JUS
tlce holds his commission. The copies sent
TO Germany and to Great Britain have
reached their destination, but that sent to
the State Department here is still on the
way. 1t is said that the full mail reports of
the recent occurrences cannot be expected
to reach Europe until the 21st inst and the
United States a week later.

BOMBAsTIC STATEMENT.
Situation i'm Cuba as Explained b.
One of GOmez,s RenraSentnfivea

Situation in Cuba as Explained by
One Of GOmez's representatives.
LONDON, Feb. "A former captain in
the Cuban army Juan Fernandez, the Lon
don representative of Gen. Maxine Gomez,
issued, by order of the latter, to-day, pre-
vious to the receipt here of the Remedies
dispatch of the Associated Press showing
the settlement of the great Cuban difficulty
long, bombastc statement, purporting to
explain the situation in Cuba. He said
THE proffered SO 100000 for the payment
of the Cuban troops has been refused as to-
tally inadequate to meet the expenses and
losses OF the troops, many of whom have
lest all proofs that they are owners of prop
erty which is now being monopoized by
American capitalists and railroad magnateS.
Even twice the $60O00,000 demanded by Gen.
Gomez would not properly recoup the Gu
bans. We all respect President Mckinley
and the American government, but we have
no respect for the petty officials employed
by the United States government, who are
exercising as bad tyranny towards the Gu
bans as did the Spanards. This tyranny
and lack of money is driving the Cubans
headlong into rebellion. If the demands are
not satisfied they will follow in the foot
steps of the Filipinos and resist to the death
the authority of the United States in Cuba.
God knows how it will result, but carnage
and the humiliation of the Cubans is ineV-
table. God forbid that it should come to it.
l even add: 'Vive la Republica de Ameri-
canosr "
Fernandez recounts, in the course of his
statement, as an example of the alleged tyr
amy of minor officials the story of the al
legged employment Of himself by a United
States naval attache in London to proceed
TO Spain on secret service during the war.
He relates the dangers he encountered and
the success he achieved, and says that when
he returned here the United States embassy
refused to make him any further payments,
although he was $3.50 out of pocket, above
the travelling expenses given him. He fur
Their asserts that the United States ambas-
Sador refused 10 see him, although he claims
he had a letter from the Department of
State, in reply to his complaint, telling him
to see the ambassador.

ADMINISTRATION PLEASED.
Washington officials Regard GOmez's
Action as of Great ImpOrtnnce.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The adminstra-
ton officials were very much pleased at the
outcome of Mr.. Robert Porter's conference
with Gen. Maxine Gomez, the Cuban leader,
as told in the dispatches to-day These were
supplemented tonight by advices from Mr.
Porter to the officials here. They were
brief, but left no doubt as to the successful
performance of the mission with which ne
had been intrusted. They showed that the
Cuban leader consented to the propositions
made by Mr. Porter in behalf of the Presi-
dent, and would, to the best of his ability,
assist this government in carrying out It's
programme for the improvement of the con-
dition of the people of the island. The opin-
Ion among the officials here all along has
been that the disbandment of the Cuban
army is a prerequisite to the successful in
itiation of any policy for the reconstruction
of the island and the fact that Gomez has
consented to this is regarded as of the high
est Importance. The official details of Mr.
Porter's conference with the Cuban general
are awaited with no little interest by the
authorities.
