Washington, Jan. 2O-All of the members
of the cabinet were present at to-day's
meeting.
The situation in Samoa was under dis
cusslon but, in the absence of any Off
cal or late information, It is thought no
action will be at once taken beyond ask
ing for conference between the repre-
sentatives of the three powers, which have
concurrent jurisdiction over the islands
under the present treaty.
1t was stated that 1t must be presumed
that whatever action was taken by the
German consul In Apia was not with the
knowledge or consent of his sovereign, but
rather was taken on his own account, and
that such action should 1t be found to
amount to an unjust usurpation Of author
ity under the treaty, will be promptly dis
avowed by the German government. IL is
believed that the conference of the three
Powers will be held at Berlin at an early
date.
The instructions to the Philippine COM
mlssioners have been prepared by the
Secretary of State. They will be asked
to inquire into the condition, characters
tics and education of the people gof the
several islands of the Philippine group;
the extent and character of the govern
ment IN force In each all facts as TO the
intercourse between the several islands
and ali other facts necessary to a good
knowledge of the people, their laws, GUS
toms, habits and social condition.
The commissioners will be expected to
interpret TO the people the sentiments of
friendship ana good viii of this govern
ment and to explain that we do not come
as conquerors, but friends, anxious for
their well being and advancement ia <he
ways. Of civilization.

IF this silver question comes again be-
