GUARDING AGAINST
STRIFE IN SAMOA
Americas COnCiIiatory
Note to Germany.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BERLIN, March 28.-The correspond
ent here of the Associated Press has
obtained on the highest authority at
this capital the following explanation
of a feature of the Samoan question,
which has lately arisen: On the report
that the American Government had
cabIed to its admiral at Samoa to act
in accordance with the decision of two
of the representatives Of the Powers,
the German Government made earnest
representation TO the American En-
bassador here, Andrew White, that the
Berlin treaty required the concurrence
of the three powers and called atten-
ton to the dangers which were sure to
arise If there was anything like a vio-
lation of the treaty.
The American Government made a
frank and cOnciliatOry answer, which
caused much satisfaction here. 1t rec
ognized the necessity for unanimity
upon the part of all three powers under
the treaty as a condition of any settled
policy or permanent action and de-
clared the admiral was authorized to
act in agreement with majority of the
representatives of the powers only in
did not admit of delay; but in such
case ratification Of adjustment
by unanimous vote of three powers
must be sought at the first possible
moment and no permanent arrange
ment may be made without such una
nimity.
The American Government, it is
is added, cabled to its representatives
in Samoa TO maintain the most friendly
and conCiliatory action toward the
German representatives and German
interests, carefully avoiding anything
likely to be misconstrued or to create
Ill will.
In consequence Of the stories regard
ing Mataafa having sanctioned secta-
rian tyranny, the German Government
assured Mr. White that all its influence
would be eXerted against interference
with the religion of any sect.
WASHINGTON. March %. - The
facts stated in the preceding dispatch
are confirmed here. It's effect will be
to allay any fears that may have been
felt that a diplomatic rupture with
was possible It is probable that an
effort will now be made by the three
governments to bring about a settle
ment of the matters in dispute. Mean
while if any emergency should arise

Kautz will support the majority of the
Governments represented. His orders
are intended to cover cases where one
Of the representatives of the different
Governments refuses TO consent to what
a majority favors where immediate
action is imperative.

The witness said there had been con-
siderable discussion in the office OF the
commissary general of the feasibility OF
shipping beef on the hoOf, but 1t had
been decided not to try the experiment,
because of the difficulty of getting
ships, of landing the cattle and OF tax

Bernard F Murtagh. also an agent
for Armour & Co. at Lakeland during
the presence OF. the troops, gave the
details of the supply there He said
the beef was generally held in the cars
for three days, the cars being well lced.
About One-thiTd of the contents OF one
car had been rejected and after this
the meat was shipped in refrigerator
boxes. Some Of this boxed meat also
was rejected. Both Messrs. Murtagh
and Smith testified that they had never
known anything OF the use OIL pIeSet Nd-
tives. and both said that Sergeant
Mason, who testified that personalities
had been used, had praised the quality
of the beef.

quality as that supplied to the Florida
hotels. No personalities had been
used on the beef. He was willing to
take oath as to that. The principal
trouble was that some of the commits
sary officers knew nothing of beef.
George w. Watson. railroad agent at
Lakeland, said he had often gone into
the cars in which the beef was carried
and that the meat did not present any
unusual appearance. He had eaten
some of the rejected meat and had
found it to be as good beef as he had
ever tasted

WASHINGTON. March 28.-Captain
George B. Davis, commissary of sub
siStence. was the first witness to appear
before the beef inquiry court to-day.
He was on duty in the office of the
commissary general and assisted in
preparing the Santiago beef contract
with Swift & Co, dealing especially
with the preparation of the clause COW
ering the time the beef was to be kept
in refrigeratOrs on shore. He had
talked with General Eagan on this
subject when the contract was in course
of preparation. and had understood
from him that the beef was to be kept
: in refrigerators seventy-two hours
after its arrival.
Captain Davis detailed some in
stances in which the boards of survey
had examined beef which had been
complained of while in the refrigerator.
one instance occurred at ManzanillO
and another at Santiago. In the first
the beef was condemned, and in the lat
ter a part of it was.
In reply to Major Lee Captain Davis
= said the understanding in the commits
sary generals office was that the beef
was 20 be kept good for seventy-two
hours by the contractors after leaving
the ship. providing good care was
taken of it.
ms was the extreme unit, ne SAID,
but II was not supposed that the beef
would be kept for more than twenty
four hours"
Captain Davis said he had heard
something Of the Powell process for
preserving beef; that a proposition was
made before the beginning Of the war
and after General Weston had brought
the proceedings TO the attention OF the
department as the result Of expert
meQts made with it at Tampa about the
time Of the sailing Of the Santiago ex-
petition.
Major Lee pointed out the apparent
discrepancy in Captain Davis and Cen
eral Eagan's testimony a. to the COndi-
lions under which beef was to be kept
for seventy-twO hours after arrival at
its destination. He read General Ea-
CANS statement saying it was his
intention that the beef should be good
for seventy-twO hours, no difference
where taken from" and saying that the
twenty hour clause must be a
