NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The Herald s
Washington correspondent sends the
following: Herr Raffel, formerly presi-
dent of the Municipal Council of Apia,
and the most disturbing element in the
Samoan situation, has left Apia for
Germany. Secretary Hay has been Of
ficially advised of his departure.
ambassador Won Holleben, who called
at the State Department this after
noon, was unable to furnish the depart
ment with any information respecting
the purpose of his Government with
reference to Herr Rose, the German
Consul to Samoa, for the reason that
Berlin had not yet received full reports
of:.events which have occurred, which
it desires before taking action
Much qualification is naturally felt
at the withdrawal OF Herr RaffeI.. 1t is
the first step taken by the Berlin Gov
eminent in. compliance with the repre-
sentations made by ambassador. White.
Acting under instructions from the
State Department the American EN-
baSsador recently brought to the atten-
ton of the German Minister of Foreign
Affairs the acts of this official and Herr
Rose, which this Government contends
are in violation of the treaty Of Berlin,
and urged their removal as promptly
as possible. At the time the represen-
tations were made the German repre-
sentative explained that his Govern
n1ent was waiting for full reports and
when these were received proper action
would be taken, should it be shown that
the course pursued by the German Of
ficials was as represented by the
American advices, In the meantime the
German Government desired it to be
understood that 1t had not given any
instructions which would require any
violation of the treaty.
Following this disavowal comes news
of the withdrawal of Herr .Raffef and
the authorities have no doubt that
when the German Government fully
understands the facts Herr Rose will
also be ordered from Samoa. Where
Germany has made so many conces-
sions it Is not surprising that the Off
Gals are quite ready to meet her in a
like conciliatory spirit, and for this
reason will carefully. examine the re-
ports of Justice Chambers and Consul
General Osborne.
In view of the majority of six to one
which Mataafa received over Malietoa
Tanu, the German Government is very
anxious that he should be appointed to
office, Notwithstanding the decision of
the Chief Justice in favor of Malietoa:
and the administration Is quite willing
to closely. examine the decision. and.
should it be weak in any respect. to
take such action as would seem proper.
Some of the points in the decision of
the Chief Justice have been communi-
Gated to; the. State Department, but the
President and Secretary Hay desire to
learn. the. full details before acting.
Should it be shown that the placing of
Mataafa on. the throne would be in the
interest of peace and order in the ISL
ands, the object of the Berlin treaty. it
might be considered justffiable to over
rule the decision of the Chief Justice.

GERMAN CONSUL
IN SAMOA HAD
TO APOLOGIZE
InsOlence Of DIR. Raffel Leads
Him Into Humiliatin9
Situation.

AUCKLAND, N. H., Feb. 14.-Advices
received here from Samoa, under date
OF February s, report that anarchy and
rebellion still prevail there. The pro-
visional government persists in inter
fering with the British subjects and
also with servants of British residents
It Is for these reasons and for the
further reason that he has placed him
self in contempt of the Supreme Court
by Illegal levying of taxes that Mataafa
will be driven out and Malietoa firmly
established as King upon the arrival
at Apia Of the American cruiser Phila-
delphia.
In many quarters annexation is
looked upon as the only possible solu-
ton of existing difficulties. It is stated
that even Mataafa's followers would
prefer English to German control.
The British cruiser Porpoise returned
to Apia on February / from cruise
Of the Samoan group and reports hay
ing found affairs quiet on the other
islands. The people Of Tutuila are
unanimously in favor Of Malietoa Tanu.
In Savaii each claimant to the throne
is strongly supported The German
Consul General, Mr.. Rose, has notified
Chief Justice Chambers that his Gov
eminent has not upheld his protest re-
garding that officer. The news was re-
ceived with great satisfaction.
Chief Justice Chambers :reopened his
court to hear the charges of contempt
against DR.. Johannes Raffef and Herr
Fries, Chief Of Police. DR.. Raffel failed
to appear. Mr.. Rose, the German Con-
sui; had declared that the matter came
within the Jurisdiction of his consulate.
Chief Justice Chambers considered DR..
Raffel guilty of contempt and. cited him
to appear at the next term of court,
when judgment will be pronounced. He
said that force would not be used to
compel DR.. Raffel to appear, but that
the German Consul could keep him in
the consulate II he chose to do so.
Chief Of Police Fries was fined 500.
Herr Grievesmuhl has paid the fine of
$1,000 imposed upon him by the court.
The Porpoise having been. boycotted
by order of DIR. Raffel and Mataafa's
sentries preventing natives going off to
the cruiser in canoes an apology was
demanded by the British Consul, Mr..
Maxse, for the attitude assumed toward
the British and also for an insult: Of
fefed to. Chief Justice Chambers
Mataafa and his chiefs complied and
DR.. Raffel also apologized in their be-
half 1t is understood that everything
was in readiness on board the Porpoise
for royalist attack on Mataafa had an
apology not been forthcoming.
= DIR. RaffeE being engaged in organic
Ing regiments for Mataafa a notice was
served on him against spending taxes
for this purpose. Malietoa Tanu and

AGUINALDO'S CHARGE
AGAINST WIEDMAN
Insists That the. Consul General Is
Withholding Money Entrusted
to Hi Care

TACOMA. Feb. 1.-THE steamship
Olympia brings news that F. Santieo
and G.. Apacibili, on behalf of the in
surgent leader, Aguinaldo. have. sued
Consul General Wildman in the Su-
preme Court at Hongkong TO recover
$47, 900, which sum is alleged to have
been deposited with Wildman by
Aguinaldo last spring. 1t is claimed by
some that this is political move on
the part of the Filipinos to show that
during May and June the American
officials aided and abetted them in
their fight for independence
Aguinaldo's solicitors have written to
the China Mail contradictinG the asser-
ton that the suit is brought as mere
political move. They claim that before
Aguinaldo left for Manila to lead the
Filipinos against the Spanish troops he
placed this money in Wildman's hands
for safekeeping. He has since de-
nanded it's return, but unsuccessfully
The money is supposed to be a portion
of the sum which Aguinaldo received
from the Spanish Government a year
ago

On the morning of Friday February
10, General Miller: sent an ultimatum
to the commander of the rebels on
shore, notifying him thatit was his in
tention to take Iloilo by force if nee

ers were warned to leave the town
within twentv-four hours, The rebels
were also warned that they must make
no further belligerent demonstrations.
The gunboat Petrol was then moved to
a position close In shore and near the
rebel fort, while the cruiser Boston
took up her station at the other end
of the town.

With reference to the statement pub

3 THE next big news to-. be ca
bled from Manila said gentle
man whom your. correspondent has
reason to-. Believe is SO close to
the President that he is in a
position to get inside information, will
be the fall of Malolos and the capture
of Aguinaldo, If the plans of the. ad-
ministration don't miscarry. It would
not surprise me IL that news would
reach us before the last Of the week
The President was simply awaiting
the fall of Iloiio before putting into
effect plans for the effectual suppress
sion of the Filipino rebellion. which
were decided upon some days ago, but
which could not be attempted until 1t
was seen what resistance General Mil
Ter would find when he landed his
forces on the island of Panay. That
he found so little has greatly pleased
the President and his advisers. who
see in 1t evidence that the natives have
not lost the lesson learned in the strug-
gle at Manila. Malolos is the next
move. I have reason to believe General
Otis has already marched his men
against the place, and L confidently
expect to hear of its fall within the
next three. or four days. 1t is of su-
preme Importance that Aguinaldo DO
made prisoner, and. to be sure of his
capture it is possible the attack may
be delayed a few hours, ~.
