GERMANS COMPLAIN
They Say They Were illegally Arrested by
British Capt sturdee at Apia.

They Say They Were illegally Arrested by
British Capt. sturdee at Apia.
Berlin, April 22.-The Lokal Anzei-
ger to-day publishes two letters from
Samoa, dated March %. One of them
is from it's special correspondent at
Apia, Herr Won Wolffersdorff, and the
other from Herr Marquardt, promi-
nent German resident of Apia, Who,
under Tamases was military instructor,
and later under Mataafa and the pro-
visional government was justice of the
peace of DR.. Raffel, the German presi-
dent of the municipal government of
Apia.
From Herr Marquardt's letter it ap-
pears that it was he, and not Herr
Hufnagle, who was arrested by Capt.
Sturdee, commander of the British war;
ship Porpoise, for bearing arms against
the British sailors. He says he was
taken On board the Porpoise, where, he
claims, he was grossly insulted by Capt.
Sturdee, and that 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 Malletoa Tanus'
hosts, and that millions of other Ger
man property was likewise destroyed.
The writer then askes who will pay
the damages.
Herr Won Wolffersdorff asserts that
the British consul, Mr.. Make, and Capt.
Sturdee are both guilty of the crosses,
conduct in exceeding their treaty pow
ers. He claims they treated the Ger
mans like captives and continued al
most incessant Smelling of German
houses under various pretexts. He
adds that the most intense indignation
prevailed among tie Samoan Germans
against the British excuses. Other
wise, Herr Won Wolffersdorff's reports
agree with the German official reports.
London, April 22.-According to
letter received here to-day from Brit
ish naval officer at Apia, dated March
IS, the British cruiser Porpolse, Capt.
Sturdee, in order to cripple the rebels
cruised around the coast of Upolu,
burning villages and carrying TO Ap1a
all the boats of the natives. As their
boats are regarded by the Samoan ISL
anders as their most valuable possess
sions, it was believed that this plan
would really infiict greater hardship
upon them than the destruction OF their
villages,

Mr.. Feitner said the books showed
that at this time Mr.. Croker has real
estate which was subject to mortgages
amounting to $125, 900, but had no per-
sonal property subject to taxation. MIR.
Feitner said the subject of Mr.. Cookers
personal property had not been espec-
tally considered in his department since
he had been at the head of it.
VIM. ]. Fryer, to whom Mr.. Haights
testimony applied, took the witness
chair.
Mr.. Fryer said that he had been q
member Of the Board of Building Ex-
aminers for
MORE THAN TEN YEARS.
The examiners had held public hearings
regarding fire proofing systems. He
knew that Mr. Mccain had appeared
before the board on behalf of some in
terests (Mr. Mccain is nephew of Mr..
Croker.) He had not seen or heard any
thing to show what Mr.. Mccain was
doing for the interests he represented.
Mr.. Freyer admitted that his member
ship in the board might incidentally
help his business as an architect, but
his official duties had not been neglect
ed for his private business. Mr.. Freyer
was subjected to a lengthy examination
regarding the merits of the various sys-
TENS of fire proofng, and the reasons
which led the board to adopt or reject
them. Nothing very notable was
elected.

Was Eaten by Major Lancaster's Men and
was Relished.
Washington, April 22.-The Wade
court OF inquiry held a brief open ses-
sion to-day, to listen to the reading OF
the dispositions and taking testimony
of Major James NJ. Lancaster, of the
Fourth artillery. Major Lancaster
said that while his command was in
Porto Rico they ate only native beef,
and that it was relished. He expressed
the opinion that live cattle could have
been landed at DaiQuiri, basing this
opinion upon the fact that while at
Daiquiri he landed 700 horses. He
thought 400 or 500 cattle could have
been landed within "a hours.
The dispositions read were from Alex
ander Powell, the owner of the Powell
process for preserving meat, and Earl
ID. Berry, a reporter of the New York
Times. Mr. Powell stated that he does
not use formaldehyde in his process,
and does not know what it is. Mr..
Berry was present on the 3lst of jan
uary last, when Sidney Reid, of the AS
sociated Press, interviewed Gen. Miles.
He says that he and Mr. Reide COM
pared notes on the interview and that
their accounts agreed substantially.
The remainder of the day was devot-
ed I'd the examination of testimony and
the work on the report of the court S
findings.

that during the Hispano-American war
Germany requested OF the United States
a coaling station in the Philippines, the
request being refused on the ground
that it was premature; also that Ger
many requested that the United States
should not annex the Caroline Islands,
as Germany had prior interests in the
group.
Berlin, April 22.-Letters recording
the excellent relations now prevailing
between the Germans and Americans IN
the Philippine islands have reached
here from official quarters. Prince

Admiral Dewey pleasantly and concil-
iatory," and when the Irene returned
from Iloilo, Admiral Dewey placed
meat from the American stores at her
commanders disposal. and the Kaiserin
Augusta received American meat, Ice
and coal. AT Hong Kong, it is added,
the Monterey and Baltimore crews as
ISOLATED cordially with those of the
German ships. A number of similar
instances are mentioned.
