TAKEN By SURPRISE.
Germany Astounded by the Recent Outbreak
Of Hostilities in Samoa.

Berlin. March 30.-The German gov
ernmcnt was taken wholly by surprise
with the news from Samoa. The i'm
perial chancellor. Prince Hohenlohe. is
at Baden Baden. and the minister of
foreign affairs. Baron Won Buelow. is
enjoying fortnight's vacation in Hol-
stein. But Il well-informed individual
says the government here Is sceptical
as to Admiral Kautz's instructions,
He adds that the instructions for a
bombardment We're based on the Brit
ish and American claims that Mataafa
was contravening the Samoa act. But.
the correspondents informant points
out. the contravention was not speci-
fled and the government presumes that
il the act was really infringed, Herr
Rose. the German consul. would also
protested as his government had in
structed him to strictly conform to the
act.
The assertion that Herr Rose pro-
tested against the disposition of the
provisional government is doubted
here. as it is claimed Herr Rose was
instructed not to identify himself with
Mataafa more closely than the repre-
sentatives of the other powers.
There is considerable curiosity in
this city as to the effect the outbreaks
will have on the attitude of the United
States and Great Britain. but the view
remains that the final settlement will
be in no way changed by the outbreak
of hostilities, but must be arranged
| by the Joint action of the three cabi-
nets.
The semi-official Post comments
calmly upon the new situation and
says that Germany will remain reu-
| trail.

ADMIRAL kAurz
Continued from page ~
mch27-

There is considerable mystery sur
rounding the statement given out. to-
day. and the explanation offered. as it
seems almost inconceivable that the
admiral should have made no detailed
report of the events which were oc-
curing during the eight days prior to
the departure Of the dispatch from
Apia.
The President very much regrets
that serious trouble has arisen in
Samoa. but has requested full informa-
ton from our officials in Samoa at the
earliest possible moment. 1t is learned
that the dispatch Of Rear Admiral
Kautz dated Samoa. the 18th. to which
he referred in his cable dated Auck-
land. today. gave the result Of his in
vestigations into the situation after his
arrival. His conclusion fully sustained
the contention of the British and
American consul which was in exact
accord with the conclusion already
reached by the British naval COM
mander. Capt. Sturdee of the Porpoisc.
At the foreign embassies. where the
Samoan crisis has been subject OF
consideration of late, considerable
anxiety was shown, today. lest the af-
fair should assume a grave information
al aspect.
AS to the German attitude it is stated
positively in quarter thoroughly ia
miliar with the German official senti-
mcnt that the outbreak now reported
can under no circumstances be con-
strucd as an overt act against Ger
many, nor as d casus belli. This is
from such source that it largely re-
moves the possibility of international
complications.
Admiral kautz acted within his in
structions. There is no doubt. with
the facts now at hand. that Admiral
Kautz viii be sustained by the United
States government.
