Washington, April Lord Salisbury
has accepted the plan proposed by Ger
many for the settlement of the Samoan
trouble by the appointment of tripartlte
commission. The acceptance is of the
broad principle only, and the details OF
the. arrangement are yet TO be agreed
upon As the United States has al
ready accepted the general proposition
there is no longer doubt as to the organ
ization of the commission.
1T is not believed here that there Will
be any difficulty in arranging the details
of the commission plan for the settlement
of the Samoan trouble arising from re-
luctance on the part of the British Gov
eminent to throw aside the Berlin
treaty. The State Department does not
expect that it will be necessary TO go far
outside of the lines of that convention
10 secure a satisfactory adjustment of
the present difficulties. As there appears
To he an apprehension that the proposed
commission may not be limited III It's
functions sufficiently to meet the British
IDEAS, ii may be said that the plan in
contemplation safeguards all essential
points.
II is provided that the commission
inquiry into existing conditions and then
apply such remedial measures as may
seem to be necessary to ensure tran
guilty. 1t will be distinctly understood
that whatever the commission does in
that line will be purely temporary in
character and subject to the approval
of. the three Governments, party to The
Berlin treaty.
Then the commission viii be expected
to frame Il scheme for submission to and
approval by each of the three powers
for the future government of the IS
lands. involving perhaps some more or
less radical changes in the original Ber-
lin treaty. Neither of the three Govern
ments therefore chances the loss of any
substantial interest in the Samoan group
by accepting this commission plan, and
this is probably the explanation Of The
announced acceptance by the British
Government of the principle of the COM
mission plan.

ORDERED TO PORTO RICO.
The War Department Relieves Major
Davis of Duty Here.

Major Charles l.. Davis. the United
States Army officer now on duty here
has again been ordered to report t.
Porto Rico at once for duty.
Though the first telegram stated that
he was relieved from duty here, later
one directed him to remain at his post
until another officer should reach here tC
take his place.
The Governor values the services OF
Major Davis very highly and he will use
I'LL the influence ut his command to have
the order taking him away revoked.
1t will be remembered that Major
Davis last winter received similar or
der, and it was through the influence
of the Governor that it was revoked
Because of that extension of time Ma
jor Davis thinks his present chances OF

War in the Samoan Islands.

The news from Samoa that the u. S.
cruiser Philadelphia and the British
cruisers Porpoise and Royalist had
bombarded the towns held by Mataafa,
who has thus far had the official sup
port of the German government, came
with startling suddenness to officials
at Washington, and displaced for the
time being the attention given to the
fighting around Manila. The Smelling
of Mataafa was looked upon as OF sec
ondary Importance hut the deepest in
terest attached to the attitude of the
German government. That some overt
act would take place has been appre-
hended for many days but there was
little idea it would take such broad
sweep and lead to such heavy loss of
life. In this aspect Of the case the
actual results were regarded as far
more serious than those which had
been expected and provided for during
the recent diplomatic exchanges be-
tween the three governments. More
over, new elements of international
danger had unexpectedly arisen. These
included the proclamation of the Ger
man consul, Rose, which, it is believed,
tended to incite the Mataafa party to
an open revolt. Also the wounding
and killing of British sailors and ma
rines, the shooting of an American
sentry and the attacks on the several
consulates.

Municipal Ownership in Detroit.

Notwithstanding the fact that sew
eral mass meetings have been held in
Detroit in opposition to municipal
ownership, the council, after several
days consideration of the project, de-
cided by vote of 81 to IL to appoint n
commission to negotiate for the pur-
chase of the street car system. The
committee so appointed is composed of
Hazen S. Pingree, Elliott G. Steven
son and Carl E. Schmidt, who are APP
pointed to serve for six, four and two
years in the order named. The prin-
cipal objection to the municipal bill,
as passed by the legislature, was the
omission of the referendum clause.
But the fact that the commission is
bound to report the price for which
the system can be purchased to the
council before an agreement is reached,
should prevent the street car company
from unloading any great amount of
watered stock upon the city of Detroit
by the boodling scheme.

Eoundered In n Fog.

dreaded Casquet rocks, near the island
of Attorney in dense fog and foun-
dered in 10 minutes, her boilers ex-
ploding with tremendous report as
she went down. Seventy persons are
supposed to be lost. In spite of this,
it is said, there was no panic on board.
The coasting steamer Lynx, which
brought the news of the disaster,
picked up four boats and 40 people be-
longing to the Stella. Another
boat picked up So, including 20
women. According to the latest
estimates of the officials of the London
81 Southwestern Railway Co., not more
than 20 persons were drowned out of
the 22O on board the Stella when she
struck on the rocks. Other reports,
however, placed the number of
drowned much higher.
