rival of tho Philadelphia Admiral
Kautz summoned thn various consuls
and tho senor naval officers to a confer
ence on board the Philadelphia when
tho whole situation was carefully can

his headquarters and went into tho in
terior
Herr Roso tho German consul at
Apia issued a proclamation supplement
ing tho one ho had issued soveral weoks
beforo upholding tho provisional gov
ernment As a result of this tho Ma
taafans assembled in largo forco and
hemmed in tho town
Tho British cruiser Royalist brought
the Malietoa prisouors from tho islauds
to which they had been transferred by
tho provisional government Tho Amer
icans then fortilled Mu4nuu where 22
000 Malietoaus took rLug - Tho robols
tho adherents of Mruiata barricaded
tho roads within tho municipality and
seized tho British houses
ltehela Attack Consulates
An ultimatum was then sout to them
ordering them to evacuate and threat
ening them in tho ovent of refusal with
a bombarement to commouce at 1
oclock on tho afternoon of March 15
This was ignored and tho rebels com
menced an attack in tho direction of
tho United States and British consulates
about half an hour before tho time fixed
for tho bombardment Tho Philadel
phia Porpoiso and Royalist opened firo
upon the distunt villages Thoro waa
great difficulty in locating tho enemy
owing to tho denso forests but several
chore villages were soon in flames
A defective shell from the Philadel
phia exploded near the American con
sulate and the marinos outside narrow
ly A fragment struck tho log
of F vato Budge shattering it so badly
as iu necessitato amputation Another
fragment traversed to tho Gorman con
sulate smashing the crockery The

Anxiety n tu Germany Attitude
Washington March 80 Tho hows
from Samoa that tho United Statos
cruiser Philadelphia and tho British
cruisors Porpoiso and Royalist had
bombarded tho towns hold by Mataafa
who has thus far had the official sup
port of the Gormau government camo
with startling suddeuuess to officials
hero aud displuced for tho time boiug
tho attention given to tho fighting
around Manila Tho shelling of Ma
taafa was looked upon as of secondary
importance but the deepest iutorest at
tached to tho attitude of tho Gormau
government
At first approhousions wore felt that
grave international complications might
ensue But those most intimately fa
miliar with tho latest official oxohanges
between Washington London and Ber
lin did not tako such a gloomy view of
tho outlook While recognizing that
tho bloodshed at Samoa caused a very
dolicato aud serious situation yet it
was safd to bo a situation which had
jjjfeggg
been clearly apprehended and discussed
in advanco between tho representative
of the three governments Tho real
crisis from an international standpoint
occurred last week when this appro
houded outbreak was discussed Al
though relations wero greatly strained
it was possible to secure an understand
ing which is said to make sure that tho
outbreak now reported will not cause a
rupturo in the relations botweon tho
United States and Germany or botweon
GrMt Britain and Germany
In all quarters thoro wore expressions
of concern and surpriso at tho serious
ness and extent of tho bombardment
aud tho resulting loss of llfo That
sonio overt act would tako placo has
been apprehended for many days but
thoro was little idea it would tako such
a broad swoop and lead to such heavy
loss of lifo Ih this aspect of tho case
tho actual results wore regarded as far
moro serious than those which had been
expected and providod for during tho
recent diplomatic exchanges between
tho threo governments
Moreover now elements of interna
tional dnnger had unexpectedly arisen
Theso included tho proclamation of tho
German consul Hose which it is bo
lieved tended to incite tho Mataafa
party to open rovolt also tho wounding
and killing of British sailors and ma
rines tho shooting of an American son
try and tho attacks on soveral con
sulates

islands by tho admiral because required
for sorvieo at Samoa The Standard
says Tho rebellious chiofs must bo
coerced and punished and something
moro than a nominal penalty will bo re
quired for tho blood of British and
American sailors Tho German author
ities at Apia havo incurred n heavy re
sponsibility Wo cannot boliovo that
Berlin will uphold their action as it is
not worth Germanys while to quarrel

estimated that with passengers and
crow she then had about 10 people
aboard She made the next lauding at

it was ascertained that tho Howena Lee
