PoMPOUS PoRTUoN'Do

Refuses TO Give Up Payrolls Unless AS
sembly Is Officially Recognized.
Havana, March Ex-Governor General
Brooke has almost made up his mind
TO send the $4,000, 900 back TO the United
Etstes. IL the Cuban military assembly
does not give up the army rolls. You
may as well do so, and not trlfle much
longer" said Secretary Alger. when dis
cussing the matter In conference with
General Brooke and General Gomez.
The latter said that such a course would
serve the assembly right.
Anyway the impression is spreading
that the governor general may return
the money to Washington. and 1t is
stirring up fresh feeling against the as
sembly. General Ernst called upon
General Portuondo. chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee OF the assembly. three
days ago, and asked for the rolls.
do you come from General Brooke ?"
asked Portuondo.
YES" replied General Ernst.
"Oficially or unofiicially?"
81 come unoficially." answered the
American officer.
Then cannot give them up" retorted
Portuondo. l can only do so on official
recognition"
A file of United States troops would
probably be sent TO take the rolls IL the
military administration knew exactly
where they were. but there is feeling
that a mistake might be made, and the
administration be- placed in the light OF
over-anxiety and possibly be laughed at.
In the course of conversation with an
old friend from San Domingo yesterday,
General Gomez said:
IL am ready to 80 home. am tired OF
this jangle with the assembly. l have
learned something about this people that
i did not know before. They are an
-uRgrateful people. They do not ap-
preciate what the United States govern
ment is doing for them-a service in
which am assisting.
Those assembly commissioners have
run off again TO the United States TO beg
for money, while l, who have a wife in
San Domingo. have not money enough to
bring her here. But there / do have a
house. and might be sure OF enough to
live on. / am old and tired, and / feel
like going back"

Berlin. March 31.-The German g2v-
ernment was taken wholly by surprise
with the news from Samoa. Imperial
Chancellor Hohenlohe is at Baden
Baden, and Minister of Foreign Affairs
Won Buelow is enjoying a fortnghts
vacation in Holstein.
A well informed individual says the
government here is sceptical as to Ad-
eniral Kautz's instructions. He adds
that the instructions for bombardment
were based on the British and American
claims that Mataafa was contravening
the Samoan act, but, the correspondents
informant points out. the contraven-
ton was not specified, and the govern
ment presumes that If the act was really
infringed. Herr Rose, the German con-
sui. would also have protested, as his
government had instructed him to strict
ly conform to the act.
The assertion that Herr Rose protested
against the deposition OF the provisional
government is doubted here, as, II is
claimed, Herr Rose was instructed not
to identify himself with Mataafa more
closely than the representatives of the
other powers.
There is considerable curiosity I'm this
city as to the effect the outbreak Will
have on the attitude OF the United
States and Great Britain, but the view
remains that the final settlement will
be i'm no way changed by the outbreak
OF hostilities. but must be arranged by
the joint action of the three cabinets.
The semi-ofilcial Post comments calm

Germany will remain neutral

Washington Officials Profess to Know
but Little About the Outbreak
Washington. March 31-The serious
condition Of affairs in Samoa engaged
the attention of officials throughout yes
terday, and there were conferences at
the White House between the president
and Secretary Hay and at the state de-
partment between the secretary and the
British ambassador and Baron Speck
Won Sternberg, first secretary OF the
German embassy. But out of ii all not
a word of additional information was
communicated from any official source.
The only authoritative statement came
from the navy department. giving brief
dispatch from Admiral Kautz. This
threw no light on the latest outbreak.
and, owing to a tangle of dates. IL served
only TO further involve the official mys-
terry.
In view OF the fact that the hghting
was widespread and long continued. and
that the foreign offices at London and
Berlin had been officially advised
of the affair II was regarded az some
what strange that the state and navy
departments should be entirely without

Julian Pauncefote and Baron Sternberg

neither OF the embassies had there been
