i WASHlXGTOtf, April acute I situation in Samoa gave rise to gravo apprehension among- officials during' the early part of the day in Washington, but the conclusion was reached that tho situation is one that will yield to sensible and cool treatment, if all the parties to the Berlin treaty are sincere an effort to prevent further trouble. As put by a cabinet officer, the killing- of the sailors has not materially chang-cd the general problem, though It-has undoubtedly added to the difficulty of dealing- with the speciflc situation. Other members of the cabinet said they saw no occasion for public excitement. The United States would protect her rights, but until all the facts were Unown it was certain that no aggressive steps would be talcen. Members of the cabinet were not inclined to regard seriously the intimation of some of £he German papers that the United States should be required to disavow the acts of Admiral Kautz.

The arrest and detention "by tho British naval officials of a German subject is the most dangerous features of the controversy. It is said that the consuls of the three powers stationed at Apia claim extra territorial jurisdiction, involving the right to try the subjects of their respective countries for any offenses alleged to have been committed. Under tins praetie the German consul, Rose, may deraan the surrender of the Gorman subject. If the man is guilty it is considered im- improbabie that the British will yield unless upou some adequate g-uarranteo that he is to be suttieently punished. It is not believed likely that Rose will make such a promise.

It is believed that Admiral.Kautz, with the co-operation of the British, will elt'ovts to bring tha rebellious natives to terras. This is not lilcely to be an easy task, in view of tho small force at his command, but it is possible the British govern- merit may accept the proposition of New Zealand, to send a regiment of soldiers to Apia. Senator Davis, chairman of the Senate committee on foreign relations, said: "We must be careful and not lose our heads. We must not form an opinion till all the facts are known." Eepresentative Hull, chairman of the House military committee, said: price ever paid for that ore in the district, and presumably the highest price paid anywhere.

S. TRANSPORT TO CARRY IT WASHINGTON, April Samoan commission will sail for Apia on the United States naval transport Badger, leaving- San Francisco on tho 85th inst.

This arrangement was made after Baron Speck Vou. Stornburg, first secretary of the German embassy, had called on Secretary Hay and advised him of his appointment as the German member of the high commission. This completed the body. As the plan to have the members get away on tho Mariposa, sailing on tho 19th, was no longer feasible, the transport Uadgcr, now at Collao, Peru, on her way to San Franeisco, was placed at posal of the commission. The formal announcement of Stornburg's appointment vriis received from tho German foreign office, and g-ave general satisfaction among- officials and diplomats, as, throughout tha recent troubles, he exerted his influence in such a manner as to win the heartiest approval of the Stato department as well as the 'Uritish ambassador.

His choice, therefore, waa accepted as an evidence that the commissioners would be able to co-operato, and to reach the unanimous decision called for by agreement. Tha oarly sailing of tint commission is re- grarded as evidence that the recent collision at Apia will be eettled. The Filipinos Attempted to Destroy Railroad. MINNESOTANS REPEL THEM, MANCLA, April about midnight the rebels cut tho telegraph Hues at several places between here and Maioloa and signal fires were lighted and rockets sent up along the foothills to tho right of the railroad. Later tile enemy attacked the outposts of.

Simultaneously, the outposts tho Oregon regiment at Mariiao, the next station ou the way to Manila, were Moro IViir.ihlps for Sumon. SYD.N-KY, New South Wales, April 14. Uritish cluiser Wallaroo and the Uritish gunboat Goldfinch havo been ordered to proceed to Samoa. April action of Great Britain in ordering two tnoro war ships to Samoa attracted considerable attention and it was stated that if the Hrlilsh ships are so reinforced.

Germany would take similar steps to augment her naval senlaUon iu those waters. Secretary Long- said it was his belief that there was adequate representation of the United States now, and that no more- vessels would bo dispatched to Samoa unless further imporLaut developments occur.

Are not the people of othe: states, a well as thoae of Minne eota and Wisconsin, entitled to warning of a danger which is ap parently menacing them at close hand, and is not the whole country entitled to absolute protection, by legislature whiub ia entirely prohibitive? Until we can have protection in form of a statute, how can our state bor.rds of health, state analysts or food commissions better serve the public than by publish ing in the newspapers from time to time the names of the baking powders which they find to be of alum? Meantime, it will aid the houst- wife in designating the alum powders to remember that all powdera sold at 26 cents or less per pound are of tbip dangerous class. Pure cream of (artar powders are usually sold at from 45 to 50 cents a pound. repro- "This government will not attempt attacked, with result that thru 14 50 15 nn 00 I 20 BO 9 20 5 a IK Si IP nn 14 11 00 0 50 The above low prices are for cash or 30-day bankable note.

The Jlataafans mutilated the corpses left behind, cutting off the heads of the dead officers. Priests from the French mission brought the heads into Apia after the engagement waa over. The manager of the German plantation has been arrested, and detained on board the Uritish cruiser Tnitraiiga, on affidavits declaring that he was seen urging the rebels to light. It is estimated that about SOO warriors attacked the Anglo-American party from ambush. When the British cruiser Tauranga arrived here the British and American consuls issued a proclamation to give Mataafa a last chance to complv with their orders.

The French priests also Americans were killed and Uvo wounded. The los.s of the enemy was ten men killed and six wounded. Tho Americans also captured two prisoners. Troops wore concentrated along the railroads as thickly as possible, and the rebels were driven back to tho foothills. The roadbed of the railroad was damaged, but it was repaired almost immediately aud was soou re- sumod through to iMalolos.

It is supposed that many of tho rebels who attacked Uenonil MacArthur's line of communication were natives who entered the region in the guise of friend lius. They had seemingly arms iu several places, and fired un the Americans at so close a range that they could be heard talking-. One of the Filipinos yelled in Engiisli: "We will give you Americans enough of this before we are through." The rebels undermined the railroad at and unspiked the rails in an effort to wreck- a train, while tha railroad gang participated in the light. The work of tlierebels was discovered and repaired before a train arrived. General is preparing to punish the Filipinos.

"Do you believe the Filipinos are capable of seLf-g-ovurninent in tho areiii polayu?" All those who have been interrogated, including Fi lipinos who sympathize theoretically with independence, havo replied to the third question with remarkable unanimity, in tbo negative. Independence, they say, would result in chaos, endless tribal wars and European intervention. A. few of think that provincial self- government is practicable, but most of them favor self-government in tho towns with a form of American supervision prole al'm tho inhabitants ag-alnst the peculations and extortions which their experience with Ilia Spanish regime has led them to consider the natural perquisites oC ofli- cialdom.
