GERMAN SETTLEMENT NEAR .APIA.

Germany want to fight? If SO,
she way be accommodated. We
are a peaceful people, but we do
not permit Others to go around
with chips on their shoulders.
There was a feeling among
many of the statesmen that the
outcome of this whole affair will
depend largely on Great Brltain's
attitude. England, it is said, may
see her opportunity in the Sa-
moan situation, and the United
States may be put in the position
of having to follow her. Eng
land may have concealed motives
for rupture with Germany,
while the Samoan situation
would furnish apparent grounds
for a break. 1t is argued that If
England has any desire to even
up with Germany she will never
be able to do so under more IA
vorab1e circumstances.

UNANIMITY IN THE
SAMOAN COMMISSION
Lord Salisbury Definitely Announces
His Adhesion to This
Principle.

LONDON, April 12.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Morning Post says:
Lord Salisbury, I learn, has definitely
announced his adhesion to the principle
of unanimity in the Samoan commits
sion, although filled with grave appre-
tensions as to the detrimental effect it
may have on the commissions useful
ness. The British and German gov
ernments have now arrived at an
agreement.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times says: The latest news from Sa-
moa has elected the keenest regret
here. 1t is regarded as showing that
Admiral Kautz and Captain Sturdee
made a mistake in attempting to sup
press Mataafa with the small force at
their disposal. The Kreuz Zeitung saws:
I'VE took too optimistic a view when
we drew the conclusion from Embassa-
dor Whites declarations that Great
Britain and the United States had not
adopted an identical attitude in the
Samoan question.
THE concentration of the German
press attacks now upon Great Britain
and now upon the United States sug-
gests an ardent desire somewhere to
act upon the principle Divide ct i'm
pera. With regard to the appointment
of the commission, neither England nor
America can be accused of giving Ger
many any excuse for delay. If Ger
many insists upon the principle of
unanimity in instructions to all com
misSioners, she must at least give the
other powers time to consider this i'm
portant subject. 1t cannot be expected
that Mr.. Eliot and Mr.. Tripp will take
their instructions ready made from
Baron Won Bulow."

CABLE FROM GERMANY
TO UNITED STATES

NEW YORK, April ia Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Presi-
dent Mckinley has granted permission
to the FELTON, Guilleaume, a German
corporation. to land on the Atlantic
Coast its proposed cable between Ger
many and the United States.
The request, which was made by the
German Government through its En-
bassador in Washington, was for q
landing near Coney Island, but under
the permit granted the company may
put a cable ashore at almost any point
The President granted the request
willingly, not only because 1t will. give
the United States another trans
Atlantic line, but also because it will
please many German American citizens
of the United States, who have not
looked with entire favor on the recent
growth of cordial relations between the
United States and Great Britain.
The new cable will bring the United
States and Germany into closer COM
mercial relations, and, it is believed,
will tend to counteract the bad feel
ing in both countries over the action of
the German admiral at Manila and the
present Samoan difficulties.
The granting of the permit just at
this time, when the situation in Samoa
is particularly strained, will tend to
demonstrate that the United States
wishes to pursue a conciliatory course.

son to know the German Government
has asked for a definite statement as
TO the position of the British Govern
ment toward the Samoan treaty.
Sir Frank Lascelles, the British En-
bassador, conferred with Baron Won
Bulow, the German Foreign Minister,
until late hour this evening. The re-
suit of the conference has not yet de-
veloped definitely, but it is said that
an agreement was reached respecting
the commission.
Evidently the Government is doing
its utmost to avoid irritating Great
Britain and the United States. 1t had
the dispatch from Apia early this
morning, but refrained from publishing
the contents because it did not desire to
exhibit mischievous pleasure at the
ambush of British and Americans
The same motive forbade the semi
oflclal papers to publish or comment
upon the news in a tone open to the
suspicion of cynicism.
Baron Won Bulow deprecates any at
tempt to complicate the situation by
needless interpretations, but he has con-
sented to reply to an Interpolation by
a member of the National Liberal party
IN the Reichstag tomorrow or Friday,
stipulating, however, that the inquiry

to confirm the report that the
visit of Sir Frank Lascelles has had
a definite result, since, until tonight,
Baron Won Bulow had declined to con-

1t is understood that if a German
should prove to have been reponsible
for the treachery, the Government will
acknowledge his liability to punish

AS specimen of the excitement pre-
vailing in Chauvinist quarters, the
agrarian newspaper Tages Zeitung
publishes a violent manifesto calling
upon the women of Germany to con-
tribute a navy fund as a protest
against the act of the United States
and Great Britain in "trampling Ger
many's honor in the dust" The
manifesto is signed "A German Frau. "
The radical papers comment upon it

II ERLIN. April 12.-The correspon-
dent here of the Associated Press
has had an interview with For
Il eign Office official who is author
lied to speak for the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Baron Won Bulow. He
said:
1--WE have received several official
dispatches saying that the Tanu people
for a fortnight past have been raiding
and pillaging around Apia, destroying
mainly German property. They are
armed with weapons furnished by the
British.
We also received to-day a dispatch
from the commander of the Fake con-
frming the ambuscade and the loss of
the Americans and English, substanti-
ating wholly the dispatches of the As
sociated Press. The ambuscade may
possibly have been on a German plan
tation, as nearly all the property
around Apia is German. The Govern
ment regrets extremely the occurrence,
for which, however, it is in no way TO
blame Such hostile encounters must
naturally be expected when the Anglo
American action in crOwning Malietoa
Tanu has made nine-tenths of the Sa-
means their enemies. 1t shows strongly
how necessary is the prompt departure
of the commission with adequately full
instructions. Although the German
Commissioner has not been formally
appointed, he is ready to start for Sa-
moa within half an hour after the three
Governments clearly define the mode of
operations and the powers of the com
mission Why does England need
lessly delay agreeing? 1t is the only
way to prevent ceaseless bloodshed in
Samoa. Unless the commission starts
soon such encounters may occur any
day.
"Of course, now that fresh blood has
been spilled, the excitement of the
Americans and British may increase.
But Germany is blameless. The same
thing happened to our men in 1888. The
Samoans also cut off the heads of the
German victims then. That is one of
the SamOans' pleasant habits If Ad-
miral Kautz had the power TO re-estab-
lish peace all might be well. But he
needs much stronger force than now
available under his and the British
command at Apia 10 subdue Mataafa
and his warlike hosts"
The correspondent also saw United
States ambassador White, who said he
the recent occurrences at Apia, and
therefore was unable to comment upon
the ambuscade.
The Lokal Anseiger the only after
noon newspaper here containing the ex-
citing Samoan news, does not comment
upon it,
The correspondent of the Associated
Press hears from an authoritative
source that the Washington Govern
ment is still in doubt as to how far
-unanimity is to prevail within the COM
mission, Germany insisting upon abso-
Lutte unanimity and the United States
desiring unanimity on important ques-
@uons only, while on the preliminaries
and immaterial points the United
States deems a majority sufficient.
The semi-official North German Ga
Zette confirms the statement made by
the Neusten Nachrichten yesterday to
the effect that the German represen-
tatiOn on the Samoan commission will

1t is not believed that the press

Senator Davis, chairman of

Indians Were Drowned.

Layagan, Alberta, June 5.-Between p
and 30 Indians including men, women and
children, were drowned in the Lake of the
Clouds, near the Canadian Pacific railway,
while crossing to the reservation to attend
a potlatch. They were travelling in boats
rudely manufactured of cariboo skins when
when two long boats collided. Both were
rendered useless and the entire party lost.
The third boat, bearing the skins of deer,
bear, ETC., manned by four Indians
reached the spot as the last survivor
slipped from the capsized boats and dis
appeared into the glacier-fed waters of the
lake.
