APIA , Samoa , March 24. ( Via Snn Fran
cisco , April 7 , ) The Associated Press cor
respondent had nn Interview with Admiral
Kautz yesterday. Hn spoke qulto freely on
the situation anil considers ho has boon
grossly Insulted by the German consul gen
eral Issuing his counter proclamation. The
admiral takes the stand that the llcrlln
treaty , which ho Is Instructed by his gov
ernment to uphold , does not make any pro
vision whatever lor a provisional govern
ment. His Instructions arc to curry out the
treaty In accordance with the views of a
majority of the consular representatives.
Thu admiral Is very wroth with the German
consul and blames him entirely for the
present attitude of the rebels , as the natives
were obeying his command to retire to their
homes when the German proclamation was
Issued.
At the meeting of the consuls and senior
naval officers on the flagship the admiral
explained his position. Under the treaty
there could bo no provisional government
and the agreement under which It had been
recognized under peculiar and trying cir
cumstances for the protection of Jifo and
property was just as provisional as the
government Itself. He had to stand by the
supreme court and he hoped that a plan ol
action would be decided upon for restoring
peace to the Islands without the Interven
tion of an armed force.
The British and American consuls and
naval officers agreed with the admiral. .The
German consul having accepted the provi
sional government , could not recede frou :
that position under any circumstances what
ever until ho hail Instructions from Berlin
Later on , after the meeting , Rose put hit
vl3\\n In writing to the admiral and stated
that German war ships rould only act II
German property or life wore to bo protected
against danger , or In the case of the su
preme court Issuing a warrant for arrosl
against Individuals. On no other ground
could German war ships interfere In Samoa
and according to Instructions under whlct
he acted there would be no military Inter
ference by Germany. He also protested
against the ipsue of the proclamation b >
Admiral Kautz pending Instructions froir
the treaty powers ; also against the returr
to Apia of the deported Malletoans , whlct
was a menace to the peace of Samoa , ant
he reminded the admiral that the Falke hai
made no promise to help , according to the
admiral's proclamation. He was afraid thai
the admiral would do harm by Its Issue am
that already people were afraid of the rebel :
around Apia.
The admiral replied that he must bo gov-
j erned In his actions by his duty and nol
by his fears ; that In his proclamation he
meant e.\actly what he said and was nol
% Wv9A"Jy > 'Tl H"uJ1' v aisgjjpijuH > < "ael-
mlral , ' the German"cohsiifMliI 'not consider
It necessary to forward a copy of his coun
ter proclamation to the admiral had nol
increased the good feeling between the ad
miral and consul. Never before by an offi
cial had the admiral been treated In suet
an iincourteoiia and Insulting manner.

LEGAL FIGHT OVER A MINE

11UTTE. 'Mont. ' , April 7. What Is undoubt
edly ono of tlip greatest legal battles fought
Is that over the receivership of the Boiton
& Montana company , which Is liable to come
to a sensational head tomorrow. The receiver
was appointed away back In December , but
motions and legal stays have kept him from
getting possession.
Judge Clancy has made an order that the
sheriff put the receiver in possession. The
sheriff , who is In sympathy with the Boston
& Montana , has disappeared and his under-
sherlff will not act without further legal nd-
vlce. He has been directed to obey the
court's orders or show cause by tomorrow
why ho should not be punished for con
tempt. The mines and smelters of the com
pany are closed down and hundreds of men
are out of work.
Deputy sheriffs are posted about the differ
ent properties and no one U allowed in thu
grounds.
lAll this state of iiffalrs Is the outcome of
litigation between the Boston & Montana
and the Montana Ore-Purchasing company.
Suits for unlawful extraction of ore are
pending between the companies which In
volve about $5.000,000. The properties of
the two companies are worth , according to
market quotations , nearly $70,000.000. The
matter came to a focus In December , when
holders of Boston & Montana stock , whn me
friendly to the Montana Ore-Pinchaslng
rompany , secured nn appointment of a re
ceiver. It was done on the grounds that the
Boston & Montana was transferring Its prop
erty over to a Now York corporation of the
same name. In order to overcome this a
law was gotten through the legislature
which would penult of such transfer. This
did not secure the dismissal of the receiver
ship proceedings , as they Involved an ac
counting as well as the other features. It
Is not likely that violence may grow out ol
the matter yet.

Battleships ; Pennsylvania , Now Jersey ,
Georgia.
Armored cruisers : Nebraska , West Vir
ginia , California.
Cruisers : Denver , DCS Moines , Chatta
nooga , Gulvcston , Tn'nina , Cleveland.
Petitions by the hundreds have been ( low
ing Into the Whlto Hnusu and Navy de
partment over since the new ships wnro
provided for urging the merits of various
names.
The president and Secretary Long enJoyed -
Joyod the good-natured rivalry and In mak
ing the llnal determination consideration
was given not only to the urgency of the
inlluencc brought to bear , but also to the
several sections of the country. Pennsyl
vania petitioned through Governor Stone ,
Senators Quay and Peurose and the entire
delegation In the house of representatives.
Georgia did not petition the Navy depart
ment and It Is believed that thu choice of
a southern state was due to a desire by
the president to compliment those with
whom he visited on his recent southern
trip.
Senator Elklns and the congressional del
egation was moit active for West Virginia.
Mere'er HeNleffeN Niivy IlepiirlimMit.
Representative Mercer made It his busi
ness to besiege the Navy department with
petitions for Nebraska.
Choice of California nlno seems to be a
personal compliment , without the same
effort shown In other states. The sama
rivalry was shown among the cities , the
mayors , city councils , chambers of com
merce , etc. , joining In the iilcas.
The battleships Pennsylvania , Now Jer
sey and Georgia are described In the act
authorizing them us full armored sea
going coast line battleships , carrying the

bcrlbcel , except that they are to cost $4,000-
000 each and are to have a. displacement of
12,000 tons.
