SAMOAN EXCITEMENT DYING OUT.
GERMAN PRESS CALMER - HERR MARI
QUARDT THE PRISONER ON
THE PORPOISE.

Berlin, April 22.-The excitemen, over the
Samoan situation has almost died out and the
general expectation Is that all the points at
variance will now be amtcably ana fairl! al
justed by the Special Commission. Some OF the
leading papers. in their desire for FAIRNESS, even
print communications from members of the
British Mission at Samoa cOntrOverting some OF
the statements Of Dr. Raffel. the German presi-
dent Of the Municipal Council at Apia. regard
Ing the relations Of Tanu and Chief Justice
Chambers with the missionaries. The "Vosssche
Zeitung" referring to the utterances Of Dr.
Lehr in presenting the Samoan Interpolation
in the Reichstag said:
at clearly seems there Is also lingo element
In German politics"
The All-Deutsche-v erband made a weak
demonstration by passing a resolution to the
effect that its members expected the Minister
OF Foreign Affairs. Baron Won Bilow, to stick
to his declarations and see that neither Ger
many's treaty rights nor the national honor are
In any way sacrificed at Samoa"
The "I1okal Anzeger' to-day publishes two
letters from Samoa dated March %. One of
them 10 from its special correspondent at Apa.
Herr Won Wolfersdorf, and the other from Herr
Marquardt a prominent German resident Of
Apia, who under Tamasese military in
structor and lately unde. Mataafa and the Pro-
visional Government was Justice Of the Peace
until he resigned on the departure Of Dr. Raffel.
From Herr Marquardts letter 1t seems that 1t
was he. and not Herr Hufnagel. who was ar
rested by Captain Sturdee commander OF the
British warship Porpoise. as bearing arms
against the British sailors He says he was
taken or board the Porpoise. where. he says. he
was grossly insulted by Captain Sturdee. and
after fourteen hours captivity, during which
no proof against him was advanced, he was
transferred to the German warship Fake,
but with the condition that he was not to leave
her Herr Marquardt asserts that his property
was stolen and destroyed by Tanu's hosts and
that millions Of other German property were
likewise destroyed. The writer then asks who
will pay the damages.
Herr Won Woffersdorff asserts that the Brit
fish Consul, Mr. Maxsie. and Captain Sturdee
both guilty OF the grossest conduct in ex
ceeding their treaty powers. He says they
treated the Germans like captves and con-
tinued almost incessant Smelling OF German
houses under various pretexts. He adds that
the most intense Indignation prevailed among
the Samoan Germans against the British
cesses. Otherwise Herr Won Wolffersdorfrs
PORTS agree with the German official reports

their demands on the Government for improvements
In the ST. Lawrence channel. which are regarded
necessary In order TO do away with the discrmi-
nation In insurance rates now exacted by under

discrimination Is a heavy one. A boat from Boston

cents. About fifteen years ago 40 cents hundred
was the rate but when improvements In the chan

cents was reached. or late years II has been
climbing up again. Increases having been made for
the last three years in succession This was conse-
quent upon losses due to ships running aground or
running ashore at some point on the 81. Law
renee route between this port and the Straits
Of Belle Isle. The Government has accordingly
been asked to deepen the channel between Montreal
and Quebec. to place more buoys in position. TO
increase the number Of fog stations In the Gulf to
convert the lighthouses on the lower reaches OF
the ST. Lawrence into flashlights. and to add 10
their number. They are also asked to inaugurate

rolling out OF her tunnels. The Umbria gained
