The Ger man ambassador, Dr. Vouo Holleben, called on Secretary Hay to-day, which led to reports that the attention of the State Department had been called to the remarks of Captain Coghlany Of the cruiser Raleigh, at a New York banquet last night, relating his personal observations of a rebuke and a threat, administered by Admiral Dewey to the German commander at Manila. It was stated positively, how ever, that no protest or representations were made, as it is understood to be the German view that this is a matter it which the authorities here should be left to take the initiative. At the same time it is known that Captain v-Coghlan's remarks caused considerable displeasure in high diplomatic and naval quarters, mainly because they are contrary to the policy which the two governments have adopted of giving as little public expression as possible to the friction which may have occurred at Manila. In naval quarters there is a disposition to regard Captain Coghlan's statements as giving some rather ugly truths, which have heretofore been glossed over on grounds of public policy.

The responsible naval officials nave, however, shared the policy df minimizing the frictions at Manila. But in the present case, owing to Captain Coghlan's splendid services, they are not disposed to be captious in i i i ii i ineir criticism oi ma utterances. Reception to Capt. Coghiao.

I shall try to be reasonable. I think I shall go so far as to keep a light burning for him to make it seem cheery when he returns.

Her mother was silent. "Don't you think it would be a good idea to keep the light burning?" she persisted. 1 "Well, it might do very well for the first month or so. "Buf after Harold has paid a few gas bills you'll probably conclude that it will be just as well to put the matches where he can find them and turn the light out." Washington Star.

EXCITEMENT HAS DIED OUT. AdvicesTrom Samoa Received in Berlin. Marauardt, a Prominent German Citizen, Arrested By the British Commander. By Cable to the Morning Star. Berlin, April 22.

The semi official North German Gazette to day denies the report sent out in a dispatch to a news agency in London yesterday, saying the German protected cruiser Gefion had been ordered to proceed to Apia, Samoa, after embarking an extra supply of ammunition at Kiau Chou, China, and that another cruiser was to follow her. Berlin, April 22. The Lokal An-zeiger to-day publishes two letters from Samoa, dated March 23d. One of them is from its special correspondent at Apia, Herr von Wolffersdorff, and the other from Herr Marquardt, a prominent German resident of Apia, who, under Tamasese, was military instructor, and later, under Mataafa and the provisional government, was justice of the peace until he on the departure of Dr. Raff el, the German president of the municipal government of Apia.

The German Arrested. From Herr Marquardt's letter it appears that it was and not Herr Hufnagel, who was arrested by Captain Sturdee, commander of the British warship Porpoise, for bearing arms against the British sailors. He says he was taken on board the Porpoise, where, he claims, he was grossly insulted by Captain Sturdee, and that after fourteen hours captivity, during which no proof against him was advanced, he was transferred to the German warship Falke, -but with the condition that he was not to leave her. Herr Marquardt asserts that his property was stolenjand destroyed by Ma-lietoa Tanus' hosts, and that much other German property was likewise destroyed. The writer then asks who will pay the damages? Herr von Wolffersdorff asserts that the British consul, Mr.

Maxes, and Captain Sturdee, are both guilty of the grossest conduct in exceeding their treaty powers. He claims they treated the Germans like captives and continued an almost incessant shelling of German houses under various pretexts. He adds that the most intense indignation prevailed among the Samoan Germans against the British excesses. Otherwise, Herr von Wolffersdorff '8 reports agree with the German official reports. Excitement Dying Out.

The excitement over the Samoan situation has almost died but and the general expectation is that all the points at variance will now be amicably and fairly adjusted by the special commission. Some of the" leading papers, in their desire for fairness, even print communications from members of the British mission at Samoa, controverting some of the statements of Dr. Raffel, the German president of municipal council at Apia, regarding the relations of Tanus Chief Justice Chambers with the missionaries.

Woolsy, April 22w-r-The finding of the body of Miss Pearl Knott in Flint river, near this place, has re vealed the perpetration of a shocking crime. The body was weighted down with plowshares, axes and trace chains and a bullet hole was discernible be tween the eyes.

The coroner's jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to her death by a wound in the head from a pistol in the hands of Geo. W. Kerlin, a prominent and wealthy farmer of thistlace. It was brought out at the inquest by a sister of the dead girl that Kerlin came to her house on the 13th of this month, between 7 and; 8 o'clock in ihe evening, and that her sister was there at the time. Pearl told her sister, Mrs.

Wilson, that she was going with George Kerlin to marry his son, and Mrs. Wilson swore that Kerlin and her sister left her house together in a buggy. This was the last seen of the girl. .1 One witness swore that Kerlin offered him $25 to swear that he saw him on the night of the 13th, about one mile from Kerlin's home with a sick mule. The witness, W.

J. Stubbs, asked Kerlin if the woman would ever be produced, and Kerlin said: VI don't think she will." Stubbs told Kerlin that he would not swear that way. i- Kerlin is 49 years old and a deacon in the Baptist Church. He has a family of eight children and is a grandfather. 1 -i ATLANTa, April 22.

G. W. Kerlin," arrested to-day at Woolsy, for the murder of Pearl Knott, was brought to Atlanta to-night and lodged in jail for safe keeping.

No Advices As to the Fate of Lieut. OHmore and Sailors, By Cable to the Mornlnu Star. Manila, April 22. General Lawton took the field at daybreak today with a column of troops, consisting of the North Dakota regiment, two battalions of the Third infantry, the Twenty-second infantry, two guns of Scott's battery, three troops of the Fourth cavalry and Gales' squadron, equipped in light marching order. This force started at 5 o'clock this morning over the Novaliches road, traversing the country previously cleared or the rebels, but subsequently re occupied by them.

It is to be presumed that Gen. Lawton by this movement will outflank the enemy before joining General MacArthur north of Malolos. The Dakota regiment first encountered the enemy in front of Novaliches at 8:15 A. M. The rebels opened fire on our troops but their fire was silenced fifteen minutes later, the enemy retiring in bad order, and the Americans advancing along the rough roads about Novaliches.

They were considerably annoyed by the rebel sharp-shooters from the jungle for two hours. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the rebels were in full flight, leaving many dead on the field, and our, troops were compelled to take brief rest in the shade, as the heat was overpowering. Washington, April 22. The War Department to day received a cablegram from General Otis announcing the formation of anew flying column, under command of General Lawton, and the initiation of a new campaign, which is expected to result in clearing out the jungle in the country north of Manila up to the foothills of the mountains on the northeast and up to the termination of the railroad at Bulocan. The text of the dispatch was not made public, but it is understood to agree closely with the account of the movements contained in the Associated Press dispatches from Manila.

The Captured Americans. Washington, April 22. No word has come to the Navy Department Tuesday relative to the fate of Lieutenant Gilmore and the fourteen sailors of the Yorktown, who were ambushed and captured at Baler, on the island of Luzon. To-day Secretary Long addressed an inquiry by cable to Admiral Dewey to ascertain whether he could supply any further informa tion on this point. The Secretary says he has no doubt the Admiral is doing what is best to succor the men, and it is suggested that he has refrained from making public his plans to prevent the insurgents from taking advantage of the information to conceal their captives.

The arrival of the Yorktown at Ma nila has not yet been reported to the Navy Department, and it is not known whether or not she sailed from Iloilo, where she reported by cable the bad news to Admiral Dewey, or whether Commander perry put back from Iloilo for Baler after haviner. secured reinforcements or additional boats.
