member of the Samoan commission, Mr.
Bartlett Tripp. did not make any report
by cable to the state department to-day

the movements of the commission came
from the naval cablegram and the press
dispatches
The officials were gratified to note that
there had been no fresh outbreak preced-
ing the arrival of the commission and
from what is reported of the conditions at
Apia they are convinced that the crisis
has passed and that the commission will
have little difficulty in securing the COM
plete restoration of peace.
1t is realized that 1t will be no easy task
to provide permanently for the admnistra-
ton of the affairs Of the islands. how
ever. and il is possible that this portion of
the work will be passed over for the time
and remain for adjustment when the COM
missoners return to tho United States.
Respecting the reported approval by the
commission OF Admiral kautz' acts il can
he stated that little doubt was entertain
cd here that such would be the result when
these acts were examined dispassionatey
by fair minded men Of large caliber, just
MS they received the approval of the presi-
dent and Secretary Hay after careful con-
sideration.
Admiral Kautz' position as senior naval
officer at Apia will be taken by Captain
Goodrich the commander of the cruiser
Newark, upon the arrival of that vessel
at Apia but of course, with the commits
sion the supreme authority for the time

Captain Goodrich is highly regarded at
the navy department. not only as an of
ficer of the highest professional accomp-
Iishmpnts, as evidenced by his successful
several years. but also for his discretion
and prudence in emergencies.

was not settled whether or not the Badger

CzAR's PEACE CONFERENCE.
Question of the Revision of the Gen.

THE HAGUE, May 25.-Both sections of
the committee on the laws of warfare OF
the peace conference met separately to-
day and began the examination of the sub
iect submitted to them, the Red Cross sec

and the Brussels conference section dis
cussing paragraph Z.
Both sections met subsequently and dis

members of the military hospital service,
conveys for the wounded, ambulances. hos
pitfalls, property belonging to, neutralized
persons, religious and medical STATS and
kindred subjects. The scheme applies
equally to land and sea warfare.
1t was proposed to submit the scheme to
another committee for discussion and the
question was then raised whether the con-
| ference was competent to deal with the
| matter. Those taking a negative view ar
| gued that the conference had decided in
| principle and all the governments repre-
sented had agreed that nothing should
be submitted to the conference beyond the
eight points in the circular of Count Mu-
| ravieff They Contended that IL the con-
ference once infrnged this rule, prece-
| dent would be created. leading to numer-
Gus difficulties. including. probably, the
springing of the Armenian. Macedonian
and similar questions upon the conference.
| It was also pointed out by the oppon-
ents of the proposal to refer that. mas
much as the Morgnier scheme dealt mostly
with the wounded and with hospitals, II
would be impossible to discuss the pro-
posed notifications effectively without the
co-operation of doctors. who alone would
be capable of deciding many of the points
| in issue As matter of fact, there is nc
man of medical training among the dele
| gates.
The committee finally adjourned without
| reaching decision.
There is no truth in the statement that
a proposal has been submitted to the con.
| ference to abrogate the provisions of the
declaration of Paris, 1896. regarding the
protection of private property In time OF
