THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Washington. d. c., March 29.-The
news from Samoa that the United
States cruiser Philadelphia and the
British cruisers Porpoise and Royalist
had bombarded the towns held by Ma
taafa, who has thus far had the Official
support of the German Government,
came with startling suddenness To Of
ticials here and displaced for the time
being the attention given to the fight
ing around Manila. The shellng of
ondary Importance, but the deepest in
terest attached to the attitude of the
German Government. At first appre-
tensions were felt that grave interna-
tional complications might ensue, but
those most intimately familiar with the
latest official exchanges between Wash
inston. London and Berlin did not take
such n gloomy view of the outlook.
While recognizing that the bloodshed at
Samoa created very esrious and deli
cate situation. yet it was said 10 be a
situation which had been clearly appre-
hended and had been discussed in adj
vance between the repre- sehtatives of
the three governments.
The real crisis. from an internation-
NJ Stancpolnt, occurred last week when
this apprchnndad outbreak was dis
cussed. Although relations were great
~ straled, it was possible 10 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.
CONCERN AND SURPRISE.
In all quarters there were express
sions of concern and surprise at the
seriousness and extent OF the lombard
ment, and the resulting loss of life.
That some overt act would take place
has been apprehended for many days
but there was little idea it would take
such broad sweep and lead to such
heavy less of life. In this aspect o,
the case the actual results were re-
garded as far more serious than those
which had been expected and provided
for during the recent diplomatic ex-
changes between the three govern
ment5.

tional danger had unexpectedly arisen
These included the proclamation of tn,
