German Official Says There Will Be No
Friction Over Samoa.
BERLIN, Jan. 23.-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has, had a
conversation with a high official of
the German foreign Office, DR.. Hamann,
who said:
1.-THE government has just received a
detailed report from Samoa which they
think reliable, all the more so because
the report distributes the blame for the
errors committed there pretty evenly
though some points remain unex-
planned.
1.-The report says that Mataafa, prior
to his election, was recognized as eligi-
BILE by the three consuls It is true that
Mataafa in 1888 was hostile to Germany
but the situation is different now, and
Germany no longer objected to Mataafa.
And why Chief Justice Chambers
annulled Mataafa's election we dc
not know. It was certainly not
under the terms of the Berlin treaty.
The decision IS all the more regrettable
because bloodshed might have been
foreseen. No whites property, however,
has been destroyed, and we do not know
why the chief justice sought refuge on
the British warship Porpoise.
DIR. Raffel, the German municipal
president. acted Illegally in action rela-
tive to the court.
I'VE can only explain these. things by
supposing that the officials there had
grown nervous. The German govern.
ment, however, takes the whole bust
ness calmly. and doubtless it will be ad-
justed automatically by, negotiations
between Washington, Berlin and Lon
DON. We do not expect any difficulties.
Germany adheres strictly to the terms
Of the Berlin treaty. Whatever illegal
excuses Germans may have committed
we shall disavOw.'

>R1oADIEt: G GENERAL CHARLES P. EAGAN.
General Wesley Merritt is at the head,
and judge advocate, and it is to meet
in this city Wednesday the 25th inst,
or as soon thereafter as practicable,
this qualification being necessary be-
cause a number of the members are at
distant points and will require some
days to adjust their affairs and reach
this city. All the officers composing
the court, save one, are from the regu-
lar army, number of whom, however,
during the war accepted volunteer rank
and still hold those commissions.
Detail Of the Court.
The detail for the court is as follows,
Major General Butler being the only
member not connected with the regular
army: Major General Wesley Merritt,
U. S. A.; Major General James F.
Wade, U. S. "; Major General Mat
thew G. Butler, U. S. ": Major Gen
eral Samuel 3. Young, U. S. "; Briga-
der General Royal T. Frank, U. S. ";
Brigadier General Alexander Now.
Pennington, U. S. "; Brigadier Gen.
eral George M. Randall, U. S. "; Brig
adler General Jacob Kline, U. S. ";
Brigadier General Richard Combs, U.
S. "; Colonel Peter c. Hams, Corps Of
Engineers; Colonel G. c. Gillespie,
Corps of Engineers; Colonel Charles R.
Suter, Corps of Engineers; Colonel
Francis E. Guenther, Fourth artillery,
and Lieutenant Colonel George B.
Davis, deputy judge advocate general
judge advocate Of the court.
Will Not He Placed Under Arrest.
If the expectation at the adjutant gen
erals office MS followed it is probable
General Eayan will not be placed under
actual arrest and deprived of any of his
liberties pending and during the actual
trial, but will be subject only to tech
meal arrest during that time. In the
case of officers Of high rank this is occa-
sio1lally but not often done and this
course does not in any way invalidate
the trial or findings of the court. Gen
eral Eagan will be expected to remain
away from his Office and render himself
inconspicuous until his appearance be-
fore the court to answer the charges,
when he will be placed under construc-
tive arrest and remain so during the
proceedings,

IOWA REPUBLICANS TALK.

DES MONIES, To-, Nov. 4-The political

evening, with rallies IN the principal

there was no doubt ofsa great Republican

State Chairman Huffman, of the Demo-
cratic committee, while making no esti-
mates, said he was satisfied at the out
look, and thought White, candidate for
governor, would be elected.
There are six tickets in the field, as fol-

Christian. Only the first two make any
pretense, and all the issues between them
have been almost entirely national
