This Government will not attempt to discredit

ing to do now. In my section of the country
the feeling has been strong against Germany
for six months The people believe that she
was hostile to in the war with Spain The
people are in such temper that they VIII not
permit any trihing hedging on the part OF the
United States. If there should be war. do not
believe that all the European countries could or
would stand against Great Britain and the
United States.
Senator Thurston said that 1t would be pretty
hard for three Of the most enlightened nations

cred the situation as somewhat grave.

A DANGEROUS FEATURE.


ARREST OF A GERMAN SUBJECT BY BRIT
IsH NAVAL OFFICERS
Washington, April 12.-By some of the officials
the news from Samoa was received with a feel
ing approaching dsmay. The Secretary Of the
German Embassy called Secretary Hay early
In the day. Neither OF the officials would dis
close anything to the nature Of the confer
ence that took place. The arrest and detention
by the British naval officials of German sub
ject is of the most dangerous features Of the
controversy 1t is said that the consuls OF the
three Powers at Apia claim extra territorial
Jurisdiction. involving the right to try the sub
jects OF their respective countries for any Of
fences alleged to have been committed. Under
this practice the German Consul. Rose may de-
mand the surrender OF the German subject. II
the man is guilty it is considered improbable
that the British will yield unless ade-
quate guarantee that he is to be sufficiently
punished. 1t is not thought likely that Rose will
make such a promise.
It IL believed that Admiral Kautz. with the
co cooperation of the British forces. will continue
his efforts TO bring the rebeous natives to
terms. This is not likely to be an easy task I'm
view OF the small force at his command. but 1t
is possible that the British Government may
accept the proposition OF the authorities at New

braces some OF the largest warships in the Brit
