Washington, April l. = The serious
condition of affairs in Samoa engaged
the attention of officials throughout
yesterday, and there We're conferences
at the White House between the pres
ident and Secretary Hay, and at the
state department between the ssecre-
>tary and the British ambassador and
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, first sec
rotary Of the German embassy. But
nothing additional was contributed
from, any official source. The only
authoritative statement came from
the navy department. giving a brief
dispatch from Admiral ,Kautz. This
threw no light on the latest outbreak,
and, owing to q tanglc of dates 1t
served only to further involve the mys-
terry. In view Of the fact that the
fighting. was widespread and long-con-
tinued, and that the foreign officer at
London and Berlin had been officially
advised of the affair. it. was regarded
as somewhat strange that the state
and navy departments should be en-
tirely without information OH a bonn
bardments by an American admiral.
Up to the close of office hours it was
stated nothing had come from any OF
u representatives in Samoa dealing
with the outbreak of $hOstilities. The
calls Of Sir Julian and Baron Stern
berg were mainly for information. for
at neither of the embassies had there
been a report Of the occurrence or in
structions up to the time Of the calls.
Germany Surprised. ae-ss i,
Berlin, March 31.-NheeG German gov
-ernmentswas taken wholly by surprise
with the news from Samoa. The Inn
.perial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, Is
spending his birthday, which occurs
to-day, at Baden Baden, and the min
lister Of foreign affairs, Baron Won
Buelow, is enjoying fortnight's va
cation in Holstein. But a well ill.,
formed individual says the government
here is skeptical as to Admiral Kautz's
instructions. He adds that the instruc-
tons for a .bombardment. were based
on the British and American claims
that Mataafa was contrayening the
Samoan act. But, the correspondents
informant points out. the cOntraven-
ton was not specified ard the govern
ment presumes that If the act was real
ly infringed Herr Rose, the German
consul, would also have protested. as
his government had instructed him to
strictly conform to the act. The asser-
ton that Herr Rose protested against
the deposition Of the provisional gov
eminent is doubted here as it is
claimed Herr Rose was instructed not
identify himself with Mataafa
more closely than the representatives
of the other powers. There is consid-
cradle curiosity in this city as to the
effect the outbreak will have upon the
attitude of the United States and
Great Britain, but the view remains
that the final settlement will be in no
way changed by the outbreak of hos
%tilities, but must be arranged by the
joint action Of the three cabinets.

Milk Company's Plant, in the building
formerly used by Watts the plumber,
on North Iron street, Monday morn
ing, frightened Ex-Sheriff John Hoff-
mans horse, which was left standing
on the outside, and caused runaway.

seated in the wagon at the time. The
frightened animal started up the alley,
and IN making short turn on the va
cant lot just above Isaiah Hagenbuch's
property upset the vehicle, throwing
the occupant to the ground. The
little fellow was picked up and taken
to the home of his father on Third
street. On examination, he was found
to be only slightly injured. The horse
was finally stopped in front of Ring
lers drug store.

Gently was shipped to man in Luz

The herd out of which these ami
mails were sold is recognized as one of
the most carefully bred herds in the
country. Several cows in this herd
have records of over 500 lbs., of but
ter during single period of lactation.
Demands for stock from it are more
numerous than can be supplied, and
the prices received are so handsome
that it seems strange that more farm
ers of this county do not make a
study of the Guernsey, and breed for
the markets. We are informed that
$I5o was refused recently for one Of
the best COWS IN this herd.

Drowned at Uatawissa.

Weston Smith, aged fifteen years,
was drowned in a mill dam, at Cata.
wissa, Tuesday evening. 1t appears,
from information furnished us by a
resident of that town, that the unfor-
tunate youth had gone in bathing,
and was in the act of climbing out OF
the water, when he lost his hold, and
falling back, was washed down with
the current. He was son of Mrs.
Mary Smith, Of Catawlssa, and a stu
dent at Glrard College, Philadelphia.
He had come home short time ago
to spend his vacation.
The bottom of the dam is being
dredged to find the body, but from
the latest reports it had not yet been
recovered.
