CAME OVER TO SEE HIS SON.
Kipling's Father Arrives at New York-An
Affectionate Meeting.

New York, March Ca gray whis-
kered old man. small in stature. wear
ing spectacles and light tweed inver-
ness. landed from she White Star liner
Majestic yesterday. The stranger gave
his name as J. L Kipling. and in reply
to a chance question. said he was the
father OF Rudyard Kipling. He said
to see his sick son. and that upon reach
ing quarantine he had received a mes
sage that the patient was rapidly i'm
proving. About himself the old gentle
man declined 10 speak. but when the
question of the White Mans Burden
was touched he remarked that the plain
people of England are watching with the
most intense interest every move that
the United States is making in the Phil
ippines. They realize that if the sur
plus of American products is directed
toward the Far East il will be better
for them.
After getting his luggage passed Kip
ling hurried TO the Glenoble hotel He
was at once taken to the room where his
son lies i'll. Their meeting was an affec-
tionate one The father was almost
overcome by emotion as he embraced
his son. and il was some minutes before
he was quite calm enough to converse.
The father did not remain more than
half an hour. 1t was thought best by
the physicians and nurses not to submit
the son to too great a strain. and the
elder Kipling readily acquiesceG in the
wisdom Of this decision.

TO this crisis have been very sharp
within the last few days Early last
week the Berlin government received
direct information f&om Samoa that AG-
miral Kautz had arrived there and had
summoned all the officials for March
IL The German authorities felt sure
this meeting would result in serious
trouble. The Berlin foreign office there
fore instructed the German ambassador
here, DR.. Won Holleben. to present a
note embodying Germany'S views 1t
argued that a naval commander had no
right to act save in executing the will
of the three consuls, acting unanimous
ly and not through a majority.
But aside from this argument the
German note intimated quite plainly
that Germany would hold the other
responsible if serious trou
bic resulted from the action OF the
naval authorities in Samoa The
strained conditions caused by this note
were somewhat allayed by the answer
of the state department. which was
friendly and reassuring, although it
made plain that the American naval
would act in an emergency,
even though the consuls were not unan-
imous in requesting action. 1t is just
such an emergency that has now oc-
.urred in Samoa.

Memphis, Tenns., March 30.-The

Lee line. Of Memphis. and was one Of
the most magnificent passenger steam
ers in the Mississippi river trade. She
was valued at $4,000. and was built at
Jerersonville, Ind She piled between
memphis and Cairo. News Of the sink
ing OF the Lee spread like wildfire in
memphis Most of the crew lived here.
From local river men IL was ascertained
that the Lee carried a cabin crew Of
about fifteen officers and a deck crew
numbering about thirty. Taking these
figures and fair number of passengers
taken on at Cairo and other points. it
can easily be reasoned that at least
sixty people were on board the boat
when the disaster occurred.

portant Factor of the Case.
Washington, March 80. - The news
from Samoa that the United States
cruiser Philadelphia and the British
cruisers Porpoise and Royalist had
bombarded the towns held by Mataafa,
who has thus far had the official sup
port of the German government came
with startling sudGennesS to officials
here, and displaced for the time being
the attention given to the fighting
around Manila. The shelling of Mataafa
was looked upon as of secondary i'm
portance, but the deepest interest at
tached to the attitude OF the German
government. The real crisis, from an
international standpoint, occurred last
week when this Appended outbreak
was discussed. Although relations were
greatly strained, it was possible o secure
an understanding which is said to make
sure that the outbreak now reported
will not cause n rupture in the relations
between the United States and Ger
many. or between Great Britain and
Germany.
In all quarters there We're expressions
of concern and surprise at the serious
ness and extent of the bombardment.
and the resulting loss of life. Moreover,
new elements of international danger
had unexpectedly arisen. These in
cluded the proclamation of the German
Consul Rose, which it is believed tended
TO incite the Mataafa party to an open
revolt: also the wounding and killing
of British sailors and marines. the
shooting of an American sentry, and
the attacks on the several consulates.
These all involve unknown possibilities
of serious complication. While they
had been guarded against as far as
possible by the recent anticipatory eX-
changes. yet it was felt that the Ger
man press and national sentiment
might be wrought TO a high pitch by
the events which had occurred and that
this outburst of popular feeling might
overcome the strong efforts of officials
to keep the subject within pacific
bounds
