sui continues, he rode with Lieutenant

the Consul concludes, Mr-GhamberS'

visional government was already an ac-
comDlished fact on January 3.

Relating the attitude of the warships,
the Consul says DIR. Raffcl took meas
Gres for the protection of the British
mission, and he concludes with declar-
ing that Matanfa did not take part in

he was recognized on the English side

Berlin, March 10.-rhe Reichsanzeig-
CT publishes a series of official dis
patches from Samoa. Herr Rose. the
German Consul, in his report of the
ereats prior TO January 4th, dated jan
uary 2Sd, says the decision of Chief
Justice Chambers in favor of NIalietoa
i1nus was bound to have a Supplying
effect, inasmuch as in n written state
laon;, dated October ., 1895, Mr.. Cham
Ie:s declared that there was no ground
f)v contesting Matanfa's assumption
Of the sovereignty il he was legally
elected King.
During the course OF tho discussion,
prior to the outbreak. respecting the
measures to be adopted to assure public
security, Mr.. MaXse, the British Con-
sui. and Captain Sturdee. of the Brit
ssh cruiser P6rpoisc, are represented
as intimating their intention of forcibly
preventing any advance of the Mataa-
fans, and to actively protect the Tanu-
sites. While the Germans only an
nounced such military measures as
were prompted by the necessity To pro-
tect the lives and property of the
whites, the British guards stationed at
Mr.. Chambers residence would. owing
to the locality, have been drawn di-
rectly into conflict with the natives.
Herr Rose then relates how he rode
on the afternoon Of January LIST, 10 the
Tivoli Hotel, in order. like many
whites, to watch events and how, on
his way there, he had to pass a body
of Mataafans, TO whom, however, lie
did not speak.
The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1899-08-03

The interview Of Senator Burrows,
published elsewhere, shows that the he
publicans are waking up to the fact
that the war against the Philippines is
not popular. The home coming West
ern troops are talking along the same
line. The Germans are opposed to ex.
pansion, and if Mckinley has an un-
dsrstanding with England, as seems to
be believed, this will ALLEVIATE not only
the Irish, but the bulk Of the German
vote. In this dilemma, Mckinley seems
to be appointing colOred postmasters in
the South, no doubt with the idea Of
keeping the Northern colored vote,
which Is threatening to desert, in line
with the Republican party. His idea
Is that the South will not permit COL
ored postmasters in that region, and
that this will influence the colored vote
Of the North. which is the balance OF
power In New York and Ohio, and
whose purpose to desert the Republican
party at the election next year is fore
shsdowed by its refusal to cast a full
vote at the Baltimore municipal cleo
ton last May.
The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1899-08-03

Our esteemed contemporary, The
Fredericksburg Free Lance. quotes from
the Landmark of December, 1893, a
paragraph advocating the movement to
establish National Battlefelds Park IN
the immediate neighborhOod Of Fred
ericksburg, where so many desperate
conflicts took place during the OWL
War. The movement was then In It's
infancy, but it has now sdvanced to a
point where a little energy Will make
1t successful. The Free Lance says
that it would be glad to have The
Landmark express itself again with ref
erence to the subject.
We accept the suggestion with the
greatest pleasure, and may be allowed
TO remark that we had intended on our
own volition 10 make some favorable
comment upon the movement. Somehow
the matter continually escaped our
memory-which is not a good excuse 4,
10 be sure, but il is worth something
as an indication that our silence was
not significant of failure to appreciate
the merit of the scheme. We take this
occasion of once more expressing our
hearty advocacy Of the plan to estab-
lish q national park in Spotsy wanna
county and Of urging all persons inter
ested 20 redOuble their efforts, with a
view to favorable action by the next
Congress
There is no place in the Union where
so many terrific and important con-
fiicts have been fought as in the little
area in which occurred the great bat
ties of Fredericksburg, Ohancellorsyllle,
and the Wilderness AS field OF Mars
the few square miles in which these
struggles took place far surpasses Chick
amauga, where the government has lald
ont magnificent grounds. Perhaps
there is no bit of land in the world OF
equal dimensions in which there have
been such brilliant and fearful contests
of arms as in the territory immediate
ly around Fredericksburg. unless it be
that historic area in Germany in which
were fought the two battles OF Lutzen
and the battle of Leipsic. The Free
Lance further states that there are more
soldiers buried in and around Freder-
icksburg than in any other locality In
the country. There ought to be little
trouble in inducing Congress to take
the proper steps if the matter is put be-
fore il with earnestness. We observe
that Dol. Walter H. Taylor. Of Norfolk,
Gen. Robert E. Lees Adjutant- General,
is one of the incorporatOrs of the Ma
tionsl Battlefelds Park Association,
which has been formed to push the
movement.
The Norfolk Landmark thus graciously
endorses the Fredericksburg Battlefelds
Park project as it had graciously done
before. The Free Lance returns its
own Acknowledgements, and voices the
thanks of our people for this help to-
wards matter which should be one OF
state pride.
