Must be Upheld.

Berlin, April i6-The opening speech

ously agreed to reply, was not sue
cess, and it was afterwards said that

reich party conservatives and national
liberals, asking the general for infor-
nation regarding the measures taken

der the circumstances. The foreign

quite prepared to express my views of
an affair which, just now, is keenly
occupying opinion and has been for
weeks the subject of serious attention
upon the part Of the government, On
the other hand, you will understand
that in my official responsible position
/ shall not say things that may render
peaceful settlement of the difficulty
questionable
Finally, the minister announced that
all governments had agreed to Ger
many's proposal to dispatch commits
sion, adding that Germany would only
accept settlement which would leave
German rights and interests unim-
paired He regarded the uucurtailed
maintenance of her treaty rights as .
matter of national honor.

MAHOMMEDANs WAGE WAR.
Unfurl the Green Banner of the Prophet
and VIII War with Buddhists.

Victoria, b. c., April 19.-Late Chi
nese papers say news comes from Lam
chou, capital of Kansu province, that
the Mahommedan communities to the
northwest of the city, known as the
Salah Mussulmans, the most savage
and bigoted Of that faith in the Chi
nese dominions, have rebelled. The
green sacred banner of the prophet has
been unfurled by their akhoon, or chief
mulla, and the word passed to all the
Mahommedan townships in Kansu,
Shensi and Chinese Turkestan to wage
war to the knife upon the Buddhist un-
believers.
telegram from Governor Jao of
Chinese Turkestan, whose capital is
Urnmsti, has also been received at
Pekin, reporting considerable unrest
among the Tunganis Chinese Ma
hommedansl and Tarantchi's in Kuldja,
and Turks in Kashgaria
A later dispatch from yiceroy Tao of
Kansu has been received at Pekin re-
porting the massacre of over thirty
Chinese Buddhists by rebel Salah Ma
hommedans. A general confagration
is feared with the return of the warm
weather in April or May, when com
munication becomes easier, unless a
strong army ia assembled in kansu.
The viceroy complained of the with
drawal to Pekin of Generals Tung
Fuchsiang and Chang Chun, with their
best troops. whose sanguinary battles
for the past twenty years against the
Mahommedans have made them greatly
feared by the latter, not only in Kinsu,
but also in Chinese Turkestan, and
that in consequence the whole north
west is practically defenseless and at
the mercy of the Mahommedans, if
they should unite together and rebel.

mania, and former governor and com
mander-in-chief. of the Straits Settle
ments, regarding American policy in
the Philippines.
Sir Andrew urges thorough under
standing of the native character and a
government, so far as possible, by ma
tive institutions. The Americans, in
his opinion, should first discover Aguin-
aldo's sources of supply and then turn
these into agencies of trade for the set
tlement of the country. They should
show the natives that this would be a
better outlet for capital, and they would
thus be depriving the enemy of the
sinews of war.
after that" he continues, "they
should buy out the religious orders,
with the sanction of the pope, and at
tach the secular clergy in some way to
the administration, securing their pow
erful influence"

pened in Samoa and that they, intoxi-
Gated by their victories over the Span

Washington OficiaIs Believe situation Is
Not Desperate.


Washington, April 1.-THE acute
situation in Samoa gave rise to grave
apprehensions among officials during
the early day in Washington, but the
conclusion was reached as the depart
ments closed, that the situation Is one
that will yield to sensible and cool
treatment If all the parties to the Ber-
lin treaty are sincere in an effort pre-
vent further trouble. As put by a
cabinet officer, the killing of the sailors
has not materially changed the gen.
eral problem, though it has undoubt-
edly added to the difficulty of dealing
with the specific situation. The only
official news received touching the
last incident was contained in a cable
gram from Admiral Kautz.
