BERLIN, April 22.-The Lokal AnZeiger

Of DR.. Raffel. the German president of the
municipal government of Apia-
From Herr MarQuardt's letter 1t appears
that 1t was he, ard not Herr Hufnagel,
who was arrested by Captain Sturdee, COM
mander of the British warship Porpoise,
for bearing arms against the British sail
ors. He says he was taken on board the
Porpose, where. he claims, he was grossly
insuted by Captain Sturdee, and that, af
ter 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 Malietoa Ia

VIEW OF SAMOAN SITUATION
Commissioner Eliot Outlines Probable
Course of the Commission,
Great Britain, He Says, is Intent on
UphOldinG the Treaty
of Berlin.

CHICAGO. April 22.-Mr. Eliot the newly
appointed British Samoan commissioner,
who is on his way to San Francisco, stop
ped over in this city for few hours. Dur
ing his stay here he was the guest of Brit
ish Consul Wyndham.
Commissioner Eliot expected to meet the
American commissioner. Mr.. Tripp h re,
but learned upon arrival that MIR Tripp
had preee1ed him twenty-four hours on the
journey across the continent.
The reason the American Commssic ner
Gid not wait here for Mr.. Eliot was that at
the last moment he altered his route across
home in North Dakota to spend a day with
his family. Mr.. Tripp Will go to San F. an
cisco over the Northern Pacific, via Port
land. and make it point to reach there by
the time Cor'missi 3ner Eliot arrives.
Discussing the Samoan situation, Com
missioner Eliot sad that the British gov
ernInent was mainly concerned with up-
holding the treaty OF Berlin IN all its tel ms
ard that as q commissioner he would eek
to inquire into the facts of the imbroglio in
the light of the treaty.
1t would be extremely awkward Commits
sioner Eliot said, if not practically unwork-
able, to have an absolute veto on any point
possessed by each power The final agree
ment recognized the principle Of unanimity
in essential matters, but no one power
could block proceedings by filibusterng
tactics
Mr.. Eliot deprecated the idea of prolong-
ed trouble arising over a dispute concern
ing an island il the distant Pacific and he
was confident the resources of diplomacy
would be able to find system under which h
the three powers could work together

AMERICA MUsT FIGHT on.
Mexican View Of the Situation in the
Philippines.

CITY OF MEXICO. April 22.-Correo
Espanol argues that the war in the Philip
pines will continue because the forces of
Otis and Dewey cannoC honorably with
draw from the theater Of occurrences, but
that 1t is also evident the Americans are
not thinking much to the best means
of terminating the war, but rather looking
for the least Objectionable means of patch
ing up a peace with Aguinaldo."
Finance Minister Limar tour started today
for the United States and thence to Europe.
1t is generally believed that while recuper-
ating in Europe the finance minister will
give attention to a project for the CONVEX
sion of the debt on a lower basis of inter
est, as assurances have come from Europe
that bankers regard the matter with favor.
Mexico would gain greatly by a reduction
on its gold interest from 6 to 3 or possibly
AZ per cent. There is 1. rumor here that
European financiers have proposed to Mex
leo to put its debt on a silver basis and so
avoid future losses incident to fluctuations
in exchange which render all budget calcu-
lations difficult

Jungle.

Back.
NINTH INFANTRY EXPECTED

MANILA, April %, p.m-General Law
ton took the field at daybreak today, with
a column of troops consisting of the North
Dakota regiment, two battahons of the
I'd Infantry. the 22d Infantry, two guns OF
ScOtt's Battery, three troops OF the 4tn
Cavalry and Gales squadron, equipped in
light marching order. This force started
at > o'clock this morning over the Nova
Iiches road. traversiug the country pre-
viotIsly cleared of rebels. but subsequently
reoCcupied by them. 1t is to be presumed
that General LawtOn. by this movement
will outfank the enemy before joining Cen
eral Macarthur north of Malo!os.
The Dakota regiment first encountered
the enemy in front of Novaliches at S:1J
am. The rebels opened fire on our troops
but their fire was siIenced fifteen minutes
later. the enemy retiring in bad order and
the Americans advancing along the rough
roads about NovalIches. They were con-
siderab.y annoyed by the fire of the rebel
sharpshooters from the jungle for two
hours.
At o'clock in the afternoon the rebels
Were in full flight, leaving many dead on
the field, and our troops were compelled to
take brief rest in the shade, as the heat
Was overpowering.

PUBLIC HALL PROJECT,
Under Auspices of the Scientific and
Other Organizations.

1t is probable that some time next fall
active steps will be taken toward the
erection of building that will be suitable
for the use of the scientific societies and
other kindred organizations in this city.
At a meeting of the board of managers of
the Geographic Society last evening this
subject was considered in all it's phases.
and the definite statement was made that
if return of per cent on the money
invested in such a building could be guar
anteed the amount needed for the erection
of the building could be secured.
1t Is recognized as the need not only of
the Geographic Society, but of the other
societies affiliated with it in the Washing
ton Academy of Sciences, that there should
be some suitable place where the meetings
can be held and where the headquarters
of the organizations can be located In ad-
dition to the bodies mentioned it is pro-
posed to invite also the cooperation of
the musical societies, and it is believed
that, If united action is taken, what is re-
garded as of vital Importance to these Or
ganizations can be attained in the near
future.
