DEADLOCK IN SAMOA.
America and England Stand
Together Against Germany.
MAY TERMINATE BERLIN TREATY.

Some Likelihood of Another Clash Be-
tween the Conflicting Interests-Presen
Indications Are That Chief Justice
posed 70 the German Consul, DR.. Rose.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The Ger
man ambassador, DR.. Won Holleben,
called at the state department yesterday
to further confer with the officials con-
corning the Samoan situation. The
Berlin authorities have communicated
very freely on the subject within the
last few days. and as a result of ex-
tended dispatches from the foreign Of
flee the ambassador has presented "a
long note, covering the latest phases of
tie case. 1t is understood that the
German advices confirm the arrival of
Admiral Kautz and the convoking by
him Of a meeting of all the officials on
the It'll inst. The German view is
evidently one of apprehension lest seri-
ous results may grow out of the meet
ing, III which event the German view is
that the responsibilities should be borne
by those bringing about the meeting.
as 70 the extent of authority of the Brit
ish and American consuls, acting to-
gether, to do anything without the con-
carrence of Consul Rose of Germany.
Admiral Kautz has sustained fully
the actions of the United States consul,
Luther Osborn, and the chief justice
himself, so far as his Investigations
have gone. 1t also appears that these
conclusions are in exact accord with
those reached by the British naval COM
mander, Captain Sturdy of the Por-
poise, who was present at Apia during
the outbreak, and of Mr.. Maxse, the
British consul at Apia. who was also a
participant. Thus there is an array of
four witnesses combined in their testi-
mony, while opposed to them is the
German consul, DIR. Rose.
1t is manifestly impossible for the
United States to discredit its represent
ative, the chief justice, or for the Brit
ish government to repudiate Mr.. Maxse,
in view Of the weight of the testimony
III their favor, SO that a practical dead
lock has been reached SO far as this
matter of changing the representation
of the three powers at Apia is concerned.
These conditions lead to the belief
that there is some danger of the repudi-
alton of the treaty of Berlin, and in the
present temper of tho parties it would
not be surprising if this happened
without an attempt on their part to re-
place it, although it is, of course, be-
lieved that even in that event some
manner of modus viyendi will be pro-
vided to prevent another such clash be-
tween the conflicting interests as hap
pened ten years ago, resulting in the
treaty of Berlin.

tense Excitement In the Community
Growing Out of the Lynching of General
Duckett
TEXARKANA, Ark, March 24.-A race
war is on i'll Little River county, and
during the past 4S hours an indefinite
number of negroes have met their death
at the hands OF an infuriated white pop
ulation. Seven are known to have been
lynched, shot to death or slain in some
manner and the work is not yet done.
The bodies OF the victims Of the mob's
vengeance are hanging to the limbs of
trees in various parts of the county,
strung up where overtalSen, while that
OF another was shot to death while try
ing to escape and thrown into a creek
and left there. The country is in a
state of most intense excitement.
White men are collecting in mobs, heav-
lily armed and determined; negroes are
fleeing fer taeir lives, and the conlmu-
nifty is IN ali uproar. The exact num-
Der Of negroes who have been suinmar-
ily dealt with or those who may yet
fail into the hands of the mob before or
der is restored may never be known.
Seven bodies have been found and other
victims are being hunted and will meet
similar fate when run to earth. The
known dead to date are:
GENERAL. DUcKETT.
EDWIN GOODWIN.
ADAM HING.
JOSEPH JONES.
BENJAMIN JONES,
Nj. JONES.
UNKNowN MAN
Joe King and John johnson were also
taken in hand by mobs and whipped.
They We're afterward turned loose and
have disappeared.
The disturbances grew out of the
lynching OF negro named General
Duckett, near Richmond, in that coun-
ty, on Tuesday. Last Saturday a prom
inent planter named james Stockton
was murdered at his home near Rocky
Comfort, by Duckett. The negro es-
capped at the time, but after remaining
in hiding in the swamp until Tuesday,
he surrendered, saying he had had
nothing to eat since his fight. He
was taken to Rocky Comfort and soon
after his arrival there Sheriff johnson
and deputies started with him fe Rich
mond. They were overtaken by 200
armed men who demanded the pris-
oner. Duckett was taken to the place
| where he had killed Stockton and after
making confession he was lynched.
When the negro was taken to the
George plantation, just before the start
was made for Richmond, it seemed as
II every man i'll ten miles had joined
the mob and before the officer and
prisoner could get started the whole
country was aroused. After the lynch
ing it was found that Duckett had fre-
quently tried to get the negroes i'll the
county to join him III race war
against the whites. A few hours after
he had killed Stockton he passed sew
eral negroes at farmhouse and told
them he had killed one white man and
| it they would follow him he would kill
more. 1t is now believed that the ne
groes had banded for race war Duck
/ ett's body was buried by the county, as
| the negroes refused to touch it.

Money May Be Long Delayed.
HAVANA, March 24.-The executive
committee of the Cuban military assem-
bly,, has appointed General Bartolome
Maso, formerly president of the Cuban
revolutionary government, commander
in-chief of the Cuban forces in the
orient, or eastern provinces.
1t is reported that a secret meeting is
in progress at the house of Senior PARA
gas, where the dissolution motion to be
argued on Saturday is under prelimi-
nary consideration. The Cubans, Dias,
Monteagudo, Robau, Nodarse, Betan-
court and Peraza. who held q secret
meeting last night after consulting their
commands with reference to the course
to be taken in the controversy between
Gomez and the assembly, reported that
they had decided to accept the $3,000,-
coo for the soldiers and also to help or
ganize a new Cuban army Of 10000
under the American administration
Meanwhile the Cuban muster rolls
are not in the hands of General Brooke.
They We're last seen by an American
officer in Guanabacoa, where they We're
i'll the possession of General Rolof, the
Cuban inspector general. From his
hands they were proba bly, sent to the
military assembly and if the assembly
still possesses them the payment can be
indefinitely delayed merely by the with;
holding of the rolls from the American
authorities.

General Engagement Looked For In nIa-

MANILA, March PA general en-
gagement with the rebel forces may be
expected at any moment. On every
hand are the evidences of busy prepara-
tions to strike final and crushing blow.
Regiments and commands are being
shifted rapidly and placed at new points,
The arrival of reinforcements on the
transports esaaEt and Sherman with
the Sheridan due in few days, has
given new spirit to the American
forces. &
In addition telegraph and cable COM
munication has been again established
over this and the other islands, and the
lines are well under the control of Gem.
eral Otis, so that he can keep the entire
section in kapd.
There are reports that the rebel cause
is gaining adherents in the northern
end of the island.
The general feeling among the ma
tives here in Manila however, so far as
it is given outward expression, is that
of submission to the situation and many
express desire to have the Americans
administer a quick, crushing blow to
Aguinaldo.
In the last three days there has been
little chat resembled lighting along the
lines, yet the great strain upon the men
has been kept up. The rebels are heav-
lily massed in the trenches oppo-
site our lines on the north.

COLD NEAR
 WRANCEL
A Big Strike Made in Alexander
 Bay.

H. Stuart Brinley returned to Wrangel a few days ago bringing some quartz rock which has caused great deal of excitement among the geople of this place. Mr. Brinley is known to be reliable; and his statement is that the rock came from ledge in Alexan- der bay, about p miles from Wrangel. The ledge has d width of more than one hundred feet on the face. all carry ing mineral the value of which at an average depth of p feet runs into hum dreds of dollars. If this ledge will hold its value for any great depth, the prop erty is without doubt the most valuable in Alaska. Already there has been rush from Wrangel and other points to the new discovery. Alr. Brnley is going to Tacoma with large quantity of rock to secure d mill test which will give exact values, after which develop ment work will begin in real earnest.

A GRAND SUCCESS:
Bachelors i've a Grand Masquer. ade Ball-An immense sue. cess-Many Elegant
 Costumes.

The Bachelors Club gave grand masquerade ball on the night of July l, which proved the greatest success of anything yet undertaken in Wrangel The idea of giving d masquerade ball is one which has long been talked of but for one reason or another it has been postponed until last Tuesday night when the elite of Wrangel society as- sembled at the Opera House, all in ap- propriate costume, and proceeded to have thoroughly enjoyable time There had been great amount of friendly rivalry among those fortun- ate enough to obtain an invitation as to who should have the incest and most appropriate costume. The result was that there were 50 many elegant cos tunes that it would be out of the ques- tion to attempt any choice.
 Dancing was continued until away on in the morning, when, feeling perfect ly satisfied, the participants left for home. Great credit, for the success of this party, is due to E. Flaw and M. N. Hirsh, President and Secretary of the Bachelors Club, and to others who were enthusiastic enough to lend their aid. It is sincerely hoped by all that the Bachelors will repeat this style of entertainment in the near future.
 The music for the occasion was furnish ed by the Wrangel String Band, led by Prof. Edson, and was as usual first class.

4th. OF JULY.

The Fourth of July celebration in Wrangel was a grand success in every way. The weather was all that could be desired and the decorations around town were profuse. Business was en- tirely suspended and every one-both old and young-joined in making the occasion memorable one. The exer- cises opened in the morning with the firing of salutes At 10 o'clock the children, under the leadership of Mrs. VIC. Thomas, assembled at the Court House, where the morning exercises were gone through with. They con- sisted of an invocation of the Divine blessing by the Rev. Dr. Thwing, an oration by Capt. T. A. Wilson, sing Ing by the children and by the quart cite of Co. L Concert troupe, the read ing of the declaration of Independence by Miss Bertha Hunt and the singing of America by all the citizens.
 The afternoon exercises consisted of the sports, list of which was publish ed last week. They were ably con- ducted by the committee in charge i.e: J. F. Collins, E. Flaw and J. F. Grant. The most interesting features were the tug of war which was won by the na- tives, as against the white and colored and the Indian canoe race. which was won by the Rake Indians.

WATCHTH|S SPACE
 NEXT WEEK
TO CODIFY
 ALASKA LAWS, Congressman Warner, of Ill.,
 inoi is Here.

Hon Vespasian Warner, of Clinton Ill.,. representing the Thirteenth Illin- ois district in the national house of re- presentatives, arrived in Wrangel on the steamer Queen on Sunday last. Mr. Warner is chairman of a commit tee to report upon and codify system of laws for the territory of Alaska, and is now here in response to an urgent invitation from Gov. Brady, to inform himself, as may be necessary. of need ed changes. MT. Warner said: 1.-The laws governing Alaska have been in d condition that might be called mixed. In 1884, think it was, an act was pass ed by Congress applying the laws of Oregon to Alaska so far az they would meet the conditions there, and confl,s- ion has reigned ever since. During the last congress code of criminal laws was enacted for the territory. but the civil law remains as it was. A civ il code will be introduced in the next congress, and as there is no question of it's passage, the people residing in our northern possession will soon be living under 8 systemizcd code of laws. l have been in Alaska before and am familiar with the needs there, by req son of that fact as well as from my work on these laws. It is valuable region, possessing resources not generally known, and is attracting the increasing attention of wide-awake men in the East"
 The congressman spoke very encour- agingly of the general condition of the country, and. as a Republican, he was gratified at the apparent certain suc- cess of the party in the next election.
 ''The free silver idea is so far gone that it i, hard to revive interest in it, and it cannot be made again the absor- ping issue of national campaign The attack on what is called expansion and the war is too much out of accord with the popular sentiment to amount to real issue, and as both parties are opposed to trusts I do not see what hopes the Democrats can have of suc- cess Tn their fight. If they could shake off Bryan and substitute some conser- vative, leve-headed man, they might do better, but Byran is riding them to death."

European Plan.

The proprietor of the Queen hotel
thinks it mistake against the best
interests Of Honolulu to keep up the
present high prices of living. He thinks
that tourists can and will find places
in other regions where the same ad-
vantages can be had for less money,
unless more reasonable rates can be
made to them here Many desire
rooms without board, and others who
have rooms with friends want board
without rooms He has decided there
fore, to meet the wishes of all as far as
possible by the letting Of rooms and
cottages and the sale of meal tickets.
