IS A YOUNG FIREBCG.
Fifteen Year-old Boy Confesses to
Having Started Is Fires.

New York, March 30.-In the person of
a boy only Is years old, with the hands
and feet of a man, the frowzled hair of
football player on small, conicaI
head and the weakened figure of a
dwarf, the police of Williamsburg dis
covered the frebug who has terrorized
the district covered by the police of the
Ralph avenue station for more than two
months.
A most remarkable degenerate is this
boy, who confesses to having started
thirteen fires ito see the engines rum -
and against whom there is a suspicion
of having caused the deaths of his little
sister and brother by feeding them
green apples when he knew they were
suffering from dysentery brought on by
indulging in green fruit.
The boys name is Irving Taylor. He
is an admirer of theatrical performances
where women dress in tights, and is an
adept at excuse and invention He was
arraigned in police court this morning
He confessed his guilt calmly. Magis-
trate Bristow committed him to Jail to
await the action of the grand jury. In
court the boy said he had kept record
of all the fires he had started. The police
believe they can associate him with at
least forty incendiary fires in the east
ern district.

WILL STAND BY KAUTZ.
Government Will Uphold His Bonn
bardment of Samoa

Washington, March 3O.-The state de-
partment has not yet received official
advices relating to the occurrences in
Samoa. The demonstration is regretted,
but the opinion is expressed that Ad-
miral Kautz acted on what was his
judgment and information. The state de-
partment acknowledges that no perma-
nent agreement can be reached under
the treaty in which all three powers do
not agree and the hope is that some
settlement of the difficulty may be
brought about when it becomes appar-
ent that the present conditions can not
exist indefinitely. Admiral Kautz acted
within his instructions. 1t is believed
that he concluded, after consultation
with Capt. Sturdee of the POrpOise, the
senior British naval officer , and the
United States and British consuls, that
a state of anarchy existed which called
for action. There is no doubt, with the
facts now at hand, that Admiral kautz
will be sustained by the United States
government. No word has been re
ceived from Rear Admiral kautz, al
though a cal BILE is mOmentariIy expected.
The regulations of the navy department
require the immediate report Of any oc-
currence out of the ordinary, and As
sistant Secretary Allen, who is acting
secretary in the absence OF Secretary
Long, entertains no doubt that Rear
Admiral Kautz's report is on the way.
While the press reports agree that there
is a direct issue between the American
and British authorities on the one hand
and the German upon the other, raised
by the action of the German consul,
Herr Rose, in supporting by proclama-
ton the contentious of Mataafa and his
rebel followers, hope is yet expressed
that it will develop that the representa-
tives of the three powers signatory to
the Berlin treaty were acting in unison
against the pretensions of the rebel
chief. The officials at the navy depart
ment hardly believe contingency could
arise which would result in an actual
clash between the naval forces. The
great preponderance of strength on the
one side as represented by the American
cruiser Philadelphia and the British
cruisers Porpoise and Royalist over the
single German warship in the harbor
would render the issue of a. collision so
certain that no one is rash enough to
imagine that an actual combat could
occur.

Washington, March 30.-Preparations
are being made by the director of the
