THE SAMOAN SITUATION
Herr Rsiiel, the Cause Of the Trouble, Has
Sailed for Ctrmeny.

In View Of Germany's Concessions

May &c Recognized.

Washington, February l5.-Herr Raffel,
former president OF the municipal council
OF Apia, and the most disturbing element
N the Samoan situation, has left Apia Tor
Germany. Secretary Hay has been Of
hcialiy advised of his departure
Ambassador Won Holeben. who called
at the state department, was unable TO
give any information respecting the pnr-
poses OF HIS government with reference to
Herr Rose. German consul to Samoa, az
Berlin has not yet received full reports Of
the events which Ii desires before taking
action. Much qualification is naturally
felt at the withdrawal OF Herr Raffe. 1t
is the hrst step taken by the Berlin gov
eminent in compliance with the represen-
tations made by Ambassador White.
The authorities have no doubt that when
Inc German government fully understands
the facts here, Rose will also be ordered
from Samoa
Where Germany has made so many con-
SESSIONS. II Is not surprising that the Of
hcials are quite ready to meet her in Il Iikc
conciliatory spirit and Will carefully eN-
anime the reports of Chief Justice Cham
bers and Consul General Osborne. In view
OF the majority OF SIX to one. which Ma
taafa received over Malietoa Tanus the
German government is very anxious that
ne should be appointed to the office, not
withstanding the decision OF the chief
Justice in favor of Tanus, and the admin
istration is quite willing TO closely OK
anime the decision and should 1t be weak
In any respect to take such action as
would seem proper. Some OF the points In
the decision OF the chief justice have been
communicated to the state department but
the president and secretary desire to learn
the full details before acting. Should IL
be shown that the placing of Mataafa on
the throne would be IN the iuteregt OF
peace and order in the islands, the object
of the Berlin treaty. II might be consid-
cred 1ustihable to overrule the decision of
the chief Justice. though the American al
thorlties arc naturally avcrse TO ovorturn-
ing the provisions of the Berlin net in this
manner. especially as section 6 specifically
