THE NEWS IN GERMANY.
The Berlin Government Says 1t Is Not at
Ali to Blame.

Berlin, April 12-The correspondent
here of the associated press had an In
terview with foreign official who is
authorized to speak for the minister of
foreign affairs. Baron Won BueloW. He
said:
I'VE have received several official dis
patches saying that the Tanu people
for a fortnight past have been raiding
and pillaging around Apia, destroying
mainly German property. They are
armed with weapons furnished by the
British. We also received to-day dis
patch from the commander of the Fake
confirming the ambuscade and the loss
of the Americans and English, sub
stantiating wholly the dispatches of the
associated press. The ambuscade may
possibly have been on a German plan
tation. as nearly all the property
around Apia is German. The govern
ment regrets extremely the occurrence,
for which, however, it Is in no way to
blame. Such hostile encounters must
naturally be expected when the Anglo
Americans action in crowning Tanu
has made enemies of the Samoans 1t
shows strongly how necessary is
the prompt departure of the commits
sion with adequately full instructions.
Although the German commissioner has
not been formally appointed, he is
ready to start for Samoa within half an
hour after the three governments de-
fine the mode of operations and the
powers of the commission. Why does
England needlessly delay agreeing? 1t
is the only way to prevent ceaseless
bloodshed in Samoa. Unless the COM
mission starts soon such encounters
may reoccur any day.
"Of course now that fresh blood has
been spilled the excitement of the
Americans and British may increase.
But Germany is blameless. The same
thing happened to our men in 1885, The
Samoans also cut off the heads of the
German victims then. That is one of
the Samoans' pleasant habits If Ad-
miral Kautz had the power to re-estab-
lish peace all might be we'll. But he
needs a much stronger force than is
now available under his and the Brit
ish command at Apia to subdue Mataa
ia, and his warlike hosts"
The correspondent of the associated
press also saw United States Ambas
sador White, who said he had not re
ceived any official news of the recent
occurrences at Apia. and therefore was
unable to comment upon the ambus-
Cade.
Sir Frank Lascelles, the British am
bassador conferred with Baron Won
Buelow, the German foreign minister,
until a late hour this evening, The re-
suit of the conference has not yet de-
yeloped definitely, but it is said that

HUTCHINSON, KAS, May 2.-(Special.)
| The trial of John Moore for killing his five
children here on the morning of March Y
began to-day. There are five separate
cases against Moore, one for each child
| murdered.
Mrs Moore was away from home on the
night of March 10 last. Moore remained al
home to take care of the children. ABOUT
. o'clock the next morning there was an
alarm of fire and Moore's house was found
| in flames. He was in the yard and had
made no attempt to get the chiidren out
When recovered, the bodies of the chill
dren were partially burned. but post
mortem examination revealed that each
child had had its skull crushed and lts
| throat cut before the burning.
A coroner's inquest resulted in the fatnef
being charged with the murder. He was
taken to Mcpherson to avoid lynchina
and, while in Jail there. made statement
which was looked upon as a partial con-
| fession of the crime, but which now ap'
pears rather as a groundwork Tor de-
tense.
The county attorney, in stating the case
to the jury, said that it would be proven
that Moore deliberately planned the mur'
der of the children because they interfereo
with his getting employment; that Moore
at that very time, was trying to get posi-
ton for himself and wife, which was with
held on account of his having children, and
that he told the prospective employer that
he would dispose of the children: that
| Moore went about the murder in method
ical way and with view from the start
Of concealing the crime.
The defense will be made on the ground
of epileptic insanity. In examining the
jury Moore's attorneys stated that the de-
fendant denied first that he took the life
of his children, and, second, that, II he
did, the act charged was committed while
| the defendant was laboring under an at
| tack of epilepsy; that this much of his life
was blank to him. In connection with this
| statement, the jurors were each asked ii
| they had any prejudice against such a
mode of defense. This is clearly the line
of defense to be followed and Moore's at
| torneys will probably make no effort tc
prove that he did not kill his children.
The defense will all hinge upon the ex-
| pert testimony which will be offered to
prove that Moore could have committed
the crime while temporarily insane, and
| further evidence that he is an epileptic and
has frequently suffered from this cause
and the prosecution will depend upon prov
| ing beyond doubt that Moore desired
greatly to be rid of his children, and de-
| liberately murdered them while in his right
mind, believing that the crime would be
| hidden beneath the burned building.
| Moore's wife still declares he is innocent
| She sat by his side in the courtroom to-
day, clinging to his arm and sobbing much
of the time. The trial has attracted q
crowd from all over the country. The case
will probably last several days.

MISSOURI CROP BULLETIN.
Planting Only Begun-Pas-
ture Is Good.

COLUMBIA, MO. May 2.-(Special.) The
Missouri weather crop bulletin for the week
ending May l says:
THE week just closed averaged decidedly
warmer than usual, but in most of the
northern and western counties plowing and
planting progressed very slowly. In some
of the northern counties only a small por-
tion of the oats crop has yet been sown.
Potatoes have not all been planted, and
little or no plowing has been done for corn.
The acreage sown to oats will probably be
much smaller than usual, owing to the late
ness OF the season. In most of the east,
central and southern counties, conditions
were more favorable, and work progressed
well during at least part of the week,
oats sowing being completed and considera-
to improve and is growing finely, except in
some of the northern and western counties,
where it was too badly damaged to recover.
some of the fields being almost entirely
bare. In number of the southern coun.
ties, the late sown now promises a fair
crop. Chinch bugs are doing some damage
in Johnson and Douglas counties.
Oats and grasses are growing rapidly,
and in most sections pastures now furnish
sufficient feed for stock. Early planted
corn is coming up well. and in the extreme
southern counties a few fields are being
cultivated. Considerable cotton has been
toes are coming up. and gardens are grow
ing rapidly.
Fruit trees are now in full bloom and
a full crop of apples, Strawberries and
cherries, and a fair crop of plums and
pears is promised in most sections"
