GERMAN SIDE OF THE STORY
Private Letter from Apin BIumcs
Complications Largely on Brit
ish Consul NInNse.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1O.-The Ger
man Democrat, published in this city, has
received letter from one of the chief Ger
man officials at Samoa, which is interest
ing, as giving the German views of the
complications at Apia.
The correspondent writes that with all the
shooting that has been done not a single
Mataafan had been wounded or killed and
that the Mataafans and Germans have ap-
parently no respect for the fighting ability
of the American and British sailors. The
Mataafans are anxious for the allied forces
to come out and fight in the open, where
they, with their native implements of war;
will have a chance against the modern
weapons used by the Americans.
The latter says that Admiral Kautz gave
no warning of the bombardment, but that
when it commenced he thought a salute
had been fired According to the corre
spondent British Consul Maxse is greatly
blamed for the trouble and there seems to
be an inclination among the Germans to
hold the British responsible for the war,
instead OF the Americans The German
commander of the Fake, in addition to taxi
ing on board women and children OF his
own nationality, extended to American and
English women and children the hospitality
or MS SNIP WHICH WAS greatly CToWueu'
The German correspondent says that Ad-
miral Kautz thanked the Germans for this
courtesy by shelling the German consulate.
The admiral later attributed the firing on
the consulate to poor ammunition The in
mates of the French mission were greatly
alarmed at the firing and one girl was
slightly wounded. Admiral Kautz was re-
quested to take her on board the Philadel-
phia but he declined, saying the ship was
no institute for girls.
The German writer adds "What a pity
that Lieutenant Hobson was not on board
the Philadelphia"
The Tanu men are badly scared and have
to be guarded by the English to prevent
their Joining Mataafa. The writer says that
stores are being openly plundered by the
Mataafans and the English can't stop 1t.
They are afraid to go out Of the main
streets when the Mataafans are abroad.
On March "a Mataafa sent word to Ad-
mral Kautz that he would stop fighting IL
the whites would let him alone. The admiral
replied that he would capture Mataafa and
hang him, The English are very much in
censed against German Consul Rose and

GALLANT SHIP COMES HOME
Cruiser Raleigh Reaches BcrmudaS,
still Bearing Scars from
Battle of Manila.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 1O.-The
United States cruiser Raleigh, Captain
Coghlan, arrived at Murray's anchorage yes
terday at 10: 30 o'clock a. m. 1t reports hav-
ing experienced fair weather from the
Azores, excepting on April and s. when
hard blow delayed the vessels progress.
The officers and men of the cruiser are in
good health and spirits, are very enthusiastic
over the successful campaign in the Philip
pines and are glad to learn that the trouble
is apparently nearly over. The Americans
are very much pleased at the reception ac-
corded the Raleigh at the British ports
touched at on the way here. 1t still has
it's war paint on and shows it's battle scars
plainly.
The usual salutes were exchanged with
the forts and the admiral. The shores were
lined with soldiers and civilians anxious to
see the gallant ship, and the British war
ships at the dock yard We're also crowded
with men as the Raleigh steamed in. Prep
aratons are being made by the military and
naval authorities here to give the Americans
cordial reception. Visits will be made to
the governor and admiral today. The people
on the Raleigh have been informed of the
preparations being made to receive them at
New York
NEW YORK, April 1O.--If the cruiser
Thursday, as is expected, it will probably
arrive here on Saturday. Preparations for
the reception of the Raleigh and its COM
mander Captain Coghlan, are being per-
fected by the committee of reception, which
will consist of 500 prominent men. The
cruiser will be met in the lower bay by the
mayor and members of the reception COM
mittee. 1t will be surrounded and escorted
up the North river by excursion steamers,
yachts and pleasure craft OF all kinds The
cruiser will sail as far as Grants tomb
where a salute will be fired, and it will
then return to Thirty fourth street, where
1t will anchor and receive visitors. Captain
Coghlan and his officers will be entertained
at a banquet in the afternoon, while other
entertainment will be provided for the
crew. The reception will probably include
a land parade in Riverside drive in which
the regular troops stationed about New
York, the National guard, the naval re-
serves and members of the Astor battery,
which served at Manila. will take part The
last named organization has been mustered
out, but has formed social organization
and will probably ask for place in the
parade.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-The British

disabled condition. and unmanageable. He
made arrangements to steer it and pro-

CURED somewhere along the eastern coast of

EsTERHAzy MAKES SOME DENIALs.
Characterizes Testimony of General
Roget as Ridiculous.

PARIS April 10-The Matn this morn
ing publishes reports of interviews with
Comte Esterhazy, who, referring TO the
testimony of General Roget before the court
of cessation in the Dreyfus proceedings,
says Rogets accusations are ridiculous,
while Major Hartmann was mistaken in
saying that he (Esterhazy) went to the
maneuvers at Mersy or was present at the
Chalon Champs tests of the 120-calber can
non. 1t was not he, he declares, who gave
to the London Daily Chronicle the letters
sent to President Faure. These letters were
dictated to him. The statement printed in
the London Observer yesterday that he told
the proprietress of that paper that he wrote
the bordereau under orders and that Dreyfus
did not writ it Comte Esterhazy character
lied as a ridiculous invention.
