PEACE CONFERENCE TROUBLES
Preliminary Details Are Hard to Settle Welcome of the Delegates
 at The Hague.

Berlin, March 3O.-The Cologne Ga zette's correspondent in St. Petersburg says in a dispatch respecting the peace conference that only those countries which conduct their own foreign policy will be invited to appoint representa- tives. As an instance of this. Turkey set her face against the participation of Bulgaria and has succeeded in get ting that principality stricken off the list. The question as to who shall is sue the invitations has been debated for a long time, but even today it Is not settled. The proposition is that Russia shall prepare the list and the Netherlands government distribute the invitations, but the matter may yet be decided differently.

THEY PREFER ANNEXATION
Native CubanS Changing Their rIndS
 as Regards Cuban Republic.

Washington, March 30-A letter re- ceived here by prominent official, from friend at Santiago de Cuba, bearing date March 18th, says:
 News of the compulsory retirement of General Maximo Gomez from the Cuban insurgents by the so-called as sembly was received in Santiago early Monday morning. Nearly every Cuban who has been spoken to on the sub ject considers it an outrage, and men who for months have been shouting for Cuba fibre, have signified their in tention of joining the annexationists.
 "One man who is the proprietor of several large sugar estates and who has been an ardent upholder of the free Cuba idea, has changed his mind completely, for the reason that he has been unable to borrow money to run his plantations except at Fufnous rate of interest, 15 per cent being demanded though the same people have told him that if Cuba should be annexed to the United States they would l'et him have all the money he wanted at per cent; but that they were afraid to trust of which, they hold, would probably change two or three times a year. They also claim that the constitution would be changed every time a fresh TartN came into mower

TALK or CANDIDATES.
Ex-RepreSe0tatiVe hing and Senator
 HaRSbrouah on rtcKinIey.

Washington, March 30.-Former Representative King of Utah, who is in Washington, says western democrats are all for Bryan, and he is as strong west of the Missouri as he is south of the Potomac.
 ''The o-worshipers in the dem Ocratic party he says, "are determ- ined upon Bryans nomination, wheth- CT he can be elected or not Neverthe- less, the wiser leaders are looking for a candidate who will not begin his campaign with alternating a large sec tion of the party. Such man as Sen ator Teller might stand a good show of election. The abler politicians realize this fact, and are quietly placing his merits before the men who will have the voting to do in convention.
 q am inclined to believe that the republicans will nominate and elect Mckinley. The corporations and trusts have confidence in him, and they will spend $5O,OOO,O 900 if necessary to pull him through
 Discussing the presidential outlook, Senator Hansbrough of North Da- kota said yesterday that the criticisms of the Mckinley administration would not interfere with the President re- nomination and election.
 ''The mistakes in the conduct of the war" he said 'are all minimized by the fact of glorious successes every where. The democrats will go a-mouthing before the people all of the complaints about the little things. They never size up to the great things. The war was so short that it was all over before the faults and wicked riesses were discovered. If the war had been prolonged all of the misdoings of contractors would have been discov- cred, and they would have been pun ished McKinley's administration has brought success at every point and prosperity to every part of the land.

ture creating the office of county as sessor.
 The duties of the assessor have here tofore been performed by the county treasurers who were allowed assistants to make up the county assessments. The new law created a separate office and provided for the appointment this year of assessors.
 It was contended that the law abro- gated a provision of the constitution declaring that the compensation of an officer shall not be changed during the term for which he is elected.
 The decision sustains the constitu- tionality of the act, holding that it does not change the pecuniary compen- sation of the county treasurers and that the power of defining the duties of county officers lies with the legisla- ture

 People, Finally Hanged.

Harrisonville, Mo-, March 30.-E. Bate Sopher was hanged at 5:30 this morning. He refused to have any spiritual considers. The crime for which he was executed was the murder at their home at Archie, near here, of his wife and two daughters, aged four and six years respectively.

KANSAS TOWNS IMPROVING.
Much Building in Cities in the Interior of the SunfoWer
 State

Abilene, Kan, March BOA marked feature Of the improved conditions ill central and western Kansas is the amount of building taking place and for years the towns have been losing houses through the farmers buying them and moving them to their farms. As result the towns have come to a point where less houses than are needed by the increasing population can be found Rents have increased in this city and other county seat towns of central Kansas 25 per cent in the past year. At present several buildings are in course of erection here and all through the country may be seen new roofs, while farmers are buying new lumber freely. The western counties are getting along far enough with their enumeration to indicate an increase of ten per cent in population in many of them in the past years. The increase in population has caused an advance in the price of realty and there is a brisk demand for farms. Hundreds of rent CTS who have been living on leased lands are becoming purchasers and are making homes of their own. The pres ent year promises to see more land and city residencInt sales % actual residents than any yG in a decade, while the amount of building done was the best since the boom.

Subject of Grave Anxiety in
 Diplomatic Circles.
COMPLICATIONS ARE FEARED
Conferences Held Between Secretary Hay and inc Representatives of Great Britain and Germany. Affair Divided Attention With r1aniIa in Official CIrCIeS-Skep- tiCaI as to Kaufz Instructions.

Washington, March 90.-The Sa- moan crisis divided attention with the fighting about Manila in all official quarters today At the foreign em- bassy where this has been the subject of consideration of late, considera ble anxiety was shown lest the affair should assume grave international aspect Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, went to the state department at Il o'clock, accompanied by his secretary, MT. Elliott, and con- ferred with Secretary Hay.
 As this was regular diplomatic day, little significance would have attached to the call under ordinary circum- stances, but with the British and American warships cooperating in the bcmbardment. more than the usual in- terest attached to it. There is no doubt that the serious developments in Samoa were discussed. While there may be dearth of official informa- tion, at the same time actual events carry out what has been anticipated and give the basis fer intellgently
 
 the two governments in a complete settlement of the entire Samoan trou ble. Both nations are acting in con- Eiete accord, not only as to a general solution of the Samoan problem, but in particular with reference to the force exerted by the British and Amer ican naval commanders.
 Az tko IL stated positively in a quarter thorough ly familiar with German official sen timent that the outbreak now reached can under no circumstances be con strued as an overt act against Ger many nor as casus bc,li This is from such source that it largely re- moves the possibility of international complications.
 As an evidence of the conciliatory sentiment of the German government, it was said today. that the note deliv- cred to the department last week urged in behalf of the German govern ment that the good relations existing between two such states as the United States and Germany would not be in tesrupted by matter of such compara- tive unimportance as an official dispute in Samoa.
 It is said that the German govern ment probably would have accepted Admiral Kautz as a sort of umpire, taking his derision as final, but the ob- jection, quite forcibly expressed to the state department, was the manner of his going to Samoa, without notice to Germany, while friendly exchanges were going. on. The German ambas- sadOr has received nc advices and in structions relative to the reported Eombardment, and there is no evidence thus far that Germany will protest or assume belligerent tone.
 The serious condition of affairs en- gagged the attention of officials through out the day and there were confer ences at the White House between the President and Secretary Hay and at the state department between the secretary and British ambassador and Baron Von Sternberg, the first secretary of the German embassy, but out Of t all no word of additional information was contributed from any official source.

FILIPINO AGENTS AFTER ARMS.
Agoncilio and Marti Go to Paris, Hav-
 ing Failed in London.

London, March 3O-Agoncillo and Marti, the Filipino commissioners, are now in Paris. In well informed quar- ters it is said that Agoncillo is greatly mortified at the rebuffs he has received from the British government, whose sympathy with the Filipinos he en- deavored to arouse, and that ne expects better treatment at the hands of the French.
 Agoncillos real object, however, is to obtain arms and ammunition, for the purchase of which he has made unstc- cessful overtures to several London and Birmingham firms. It is said that he believes that with the assistance of the Paris junta he will be able to obtain the supplies he seeks in France, in the event of which he intends to charter a small vessel at Brest or St. Malo to transport his purchases to the Philip pines.

TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
German Officials Were Not Prepared
 for the Startling News

Berlin. March 30.-Tha German government was taken wholly by sur prise with the news from Samoa. The imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlone, is spending his birthday, which occurs tomorrow, at Baden-Baden, and the minister of foreign affairs. Baron Won Bulow, is enjoying a fortnight's va cation in Holstein. But a we'll in formed individual says the govern ment here is skeptical as to Admiral KautZ's instructions. He adds that the instructions for the bOmbardmenL were based on the British and American claims that Mataafa was cOntravening the Samoan act. But the correspond ent's informant points out that the contravention was not specified and the government presumed that if the act was really infringed, Herr Rose. the German consul, would also have protested, as his government had in structed him to strictly conform to the act.
 The National Zeitung today. com menting on the situation, says: While it appears that the American and English representative thought Ma taafa's followers were contravening the treaty, the meeting held on the

CANNOT GO ON INDEFINITELY.
State Department Hoping for Psace-
 full Settlement of Affairs.

Washington, March 30.- The state department has not yet received any official advices relating to the occur rences in Samoa. The demonstration is regretted, but the opinion is eX- pressed that Admiral Kautz acted on what was his best judgment and in formation. The state department ac- knowledges that no permanent agree ment can be reached under the treaty, in which all three powers do not agree, and the. hope is that some settlement of the differences may be brought about when it becomes apparent the present conditions cannot exist indei- nitely.
 Admiral Kautz acted within his in struqtions It is believed he concluded after consultation with Captain Sturdee of the Porpoise, the senior British naval officer, and the United States and British consuls, that state of anarchy existed which called for action
 The officials at the navy department hardly believe contingency could arise which would result in an actual clash between the naval forces. The great prepondeIance of strength on one side as represented by the Amer ican cruiser Philadelphia and the Brit ish cruisers Royalist and Porpoise, over the single German warship in the harbor would render the issue of d collision so certain that no one is rash enough to imagine that an actual con- bat could occur

Philadelphia had no jurisdiction, be- cause the unanimous approval of the three consuls is necessary to make any decision legal" The National Zeitung adds that further information is nec- essary in order to show whether the Americans and British had sufficient reason for Iescrting to armed inter vention, and concludes with remark ing: Thus far the only result ap- pears to have been destruction and anarchy"
