WASHINGTON' . April Ifi. A correspond-
enin tills city for a leading German news-
jmpnr has received an IntrrestliiK private
lr > "or from Apia concerning events there
In March , as viewed entirely from the Ger
man side of the question. The letter was
written by a prominent German and Is of
Imprest In that It Rives for the llrsl time
the- German view of the statu of things
iiow existing In the Hainoan Islands ,
Thn letter begins with a complaint that
> regard whatever U shown by the Urll-
iKh and American forces toward the Gcr-
maiii. The bombardment had been an-
nminrcd to begin on WedncKilay , March 11 ,
1 p. in. , bill no notice , nys the letter ,
v.s given the Germans and the German
consul general IB still walling for the olll-
tml communication of the commencement
of the bombardment. The commander of
the German war whip Kalko was notified
the riilladelphla only n
1 > \ an olllcer of
quarter of an hour after the fire had been
opened. The numerous whiles living In the
vi'lnlty of the town had no opportunity
to lake any measure for their personal
safety and were not aware of what was
gi.lng on until shrapnel exploded In their
neighborhood. It Is due , continues the let
ter , only to a merciful Providence that no
whlto was killed or wounded.
In Valtolle. a cocoa plantation belonging
to the German Tradn and Plantation com
pany , on the afternoon of March 15 six
Bbells fell down Just around the house. One
struck through the roof of the veranda , and
rent asunder the lloor just on the spot
uhe-ro scarcely a mlnuto before the mali
nger of the plantation , llerr Tlcdcmau , stood
with an overseer.
Work of tlic Slii'llN.
Tim sntno afternoon three bombs were
thrown up on the Voca mountain south of
Apia , where the French mission has a
Kohool for native clilldron , ono shell falling
down close to the honso of the fathers and
another exploding In the Immediate vicin
ity of the house of the sisters.
On March 111 a shell fired from the Phila
delphia exploded too soon and a nlnctecn-
poiiml piece of It was thrown Into the build
ing of the Gorman consulate , wrecking a
part of It. This event. It Is stated , caused
the firing party to IIHO a little more cau
tion.
tion.On
On March 18 a part of the town and the
grounds In the rear , the letter states , were
Hcnrchcd by an Anglo-American landing
party , strengthened by about a hundred
"friendly" natives , under the command of
Captain Sturdce of the war ship 1'orpolse.
The expedition landed In the matautc o (
the town , before the house of a wealthy
French merchant , and after a few aimless
volleys the Tann men occupied the house
of the Frenchman and battered down , under
the eyes of the Kngllsh officers , doors and
windows and , the letter asserts , helped
themselves freely 1o whatever from the
etoro they could In the hurry lay hands
upcn. Then the grounds were searched ,
though In vain , for Mataafa warriors.
The letter follows up this statement with
a. bitter and sarcastic personal attack upon
Captain Sturdce.
It then proceeds to enumerate the reasons
that led to the establishment of the pro
visional government , which. It Is said , waste
to remain In existence until an agreement
with the signatory powers regarding the
future ) of the political conditions of Samoa
liad been brought. The letter continues :
I'rovlNloiuil ( iovt'riiiiiriit AVurt Sconre ,
"In the mcanwhllo the provisional gov
ernment , under the able leadership of Ma
taafa , had maintained such order and se
curity as under no former government.
Kverybody felt secure of his life and prop
erty , the copra production In the country
commenced again and there were signs ol
prosperous times coming back to the white
traders. Xoboily who represented material
Interests wanted a change of the existing
conditions , the Hrltlsh consul and his aldu ,
Mr. Sturdce , of course , excepted , who , In
order to give vent to their dissatisfaction
nnd to demonstrate the alleged Insecurity ,
maintained n strong guard in the British
consulate ami did not glvo shore leave tc
the crows on the ships , not to speak ol
other ridiculous measures.
"On March C the Philadelphia , under Ad
miral Kautz , arrived here , when the fate ol
the provisional government was sealed. Mr ,
Knutz did not see fit to get a just picture
of the Samonn situation by extending hU
Inquiries as soon as possible. Chief Justice
Chambers , through his partial judgment. Is
principally to Mamo because English Consul
Maxso and Commander Sturdco were his
crown witnesses. The great many Germans
well-Informed on the conditions of the coun
try , and nioro particularly the German con
sul general , from the beginning were no !
considered. The American consul general
did not seem to think It worth while to give
the matter a serious thought and complac
ently ncqnlHced In the proposals of Maxst
nnd Sturdce.
1'rotfNtM of r : IT 111 a n ( 'on NII I.
"On March 11 n conference of the three
consuls with the admiral took place on the
Philadelphia when the German consul pro
tested \\lth great energy to the decision ol
the admiral to completely dissolve the pro
visional government nnd HBO , to this end , tlu
force of the men-of-war , The German repre
suntatlvo explained to him that the country
was In a condition of perfect trunqullltj
nnd that tbeio were no reasons why thej
should not quietly wait for the decision o
the treaty powers. On March 21 Admlrn
Knutz Issued IIH ! proclamation and did no
state lu the Snnumn text that all consul !
were agreed as to the proceeding against tin
provisional Kovernmrnt.
"Tho Gorman representative firmly re
solving not to have the German warahi ]
Pa Ike participate In the Impending butcher ,
Issued hU counter proclamation. Th
Mataafa men were not allowed the leas
tlmo for consideration. They evacuate !
Mullnuu , the seat of the provisional govern
inont , on Monday , March 3 , but were ul
ready shot upon when they , on Wednesday
had not yet left the territory of the munlct
jiallty. In order to frighten the Mataafi
men still more , all the Tanu men , thougl
very llttlo Inclined to fight against their owi
people , were armed by the Kngllsh will
rides nnd plenty of ammunition.
\O \ ( ( ( ! Of IHUM Of IIff ,
"Among the victims of the present fight
lug arc also tlvo bravo marines , and It Is
pity to say If not all , most of them hav
lost their lives through the bullets of the !
own comrades. That such things may hap
pen Is only too easily explained. Ofllcer
nnd crows in consequence of the continue
guard nnd patrol service , over-exercised an
nervous , lost the rest necessary for th
handling of fire arms. If a leaf rustles I
11m night , If an animal moves , Immediate !
the guns and arms are fir oil , In short , ther
la an Incredible waste of ammunition.
"Of court > e , as was to be expected , th
nnil-German elements in Samoa are alread
now eage-rly at work to make the Germa
consul responsible for everything on th
ground that he. by refusing to participate I
the prui'rcdlngB of the Americans an
lbh , encouraged Ibo Mutuafa men to re
distance. This charge ft easily refuted. A
procedure of such brutality as that nt
present being enacted against Mataafa ta
contrary to all laws of humanity nnd civil
ization nnd ought to have been rejected nl
the atatt by the unanimous vote of all the
consul ? . How the tragedy of Mataafa and
his followers will end Is not dlfllcult tc
predict.
"If the governments of England and
America do not put a stop In tlmo to the
action of their representatives they will
have on their hands the blood of n good-
hearted people driven to death and destruc
tion in maintaining Its ancient laws anJ
customs. "

CATTLK-For the last day of the week
the market was In good shape , practically
everything felling In peed season. As usual ,
however , on a Saturday , there was not
much lie-re to make a market and of thu
eattlo reported in four cars were conslKiied
direct 'to ' Cndahy and three e-ars to llain-
ninnd. All told there were only about n
dozen loads of beef steer. * on sale. The
prices paid were steady to stronB us com
pared with yesterday.
Cows and heifers snld at peed , firm prices ,
the few here beliiK disposed of In short
order. Other kinds of eattlo sold nt steady
prices.
DnrltiR the early part nt the week the
market broke lOTilSc on beef steers , but
during the latter half It firmed up. At the
close of the week It Is safe to quote handy
weight beef steers at lOe hlclier than ivt ( be
c-loso of last week , ROW ! heavy cattle aa
strong to a shade blKber than last week's
close and roiinb cattle ns Just about steady
with last week.
Cows and heifers were In moderate supply
all lilts week , whllo there was a good de
mand and the market in consequence was
in-live on that kind and values Hrni. As
compared with a week ago the market IH
now strong or possibly n little higher , veal
calves brought good prices all the week ,
but the market did not whew any material
change. In fact veals have sold In the
same notches for a good many weeks past ,
the good ones going at JG.oOflfi. " . ' ) . Bulls are :
poor property , as every ono who lias tried
to dispose of nuy has discovered. The only
bull : , that can be wild without hard work
are choice little slock bulls. All others are
slow anil lower.
The stacker and feeder market has not
shown any material change for theweek. .
Arrivals have averaged very light , while
there has been a moderate demand , so that
the market has been In a healthy condition
all the week. As a general thing operators
on the market anticipate rather a light de
mand during the next week or two on th <
theory that the farmers will be too busy
putting In their crops to eoino to market
aftT feeders.
HOGS The market was 5c higher this
morning and opened active at the advance.
Packers were all good buyers and the offur-
Ings for the most : > art changed hands In a
very short tlnu. A. tu\v loads that came In
lute , or that sellers refused to part with at
early bids , hung tire , buyers trying to get
them a little lower , so that the market
cluscd slow.
The prices paid today ranged from J3.C5 tr
J3.SO , wltli the ' -ong string at $3.7003.75.
Yesterday the range was t3.5jQ3.iJ. and the
bulk of the sales at $3.G.j'fi3.G7'4. The aver-
ace of all th * sales was $ .1.72 , the highest
uoint of the year to date.
The bos market was In very good shape
nil this week , that Is there was an active
demand , which was nioro than equal to the
supply. H.- > that the market was In a good ,
healthy condition. Values on the llrst ol
the week touched the highest point reitclied
since February 25. From that point It
gradually dropped down until Thursday ,
when tin1 market was 7' e lower than at the
o : > cnlnir of the wesk. The b.ilane-e of the
week the tendency was steadily upward
and at the dost- the market was Cc higher
than It was at the opening of the week , ot
at the highest point reached this year ,
SIIKKP Only two loads w re > reported In
early and they were conplirivil direct lei
slackens- , but later on a train of thirteen
earn arrived and sold. They wore all west
ern wetneiw , and brought $ I.Su , the same
rleo that was paid for som of the sains
lut on Thursday.
A very large proportion of the receipts
this wek was made up tif lamhP , whllei
good mutton Hhcen have been rathur scarce.
As a result of the modri-ate offerings ol
.sheep the market on that kind was good
al' the week and valuer steady te > strong ,
At the .tamo tlmo till- large offerings ol
iainlw rendered the market on that kind
a little easier , and for the week the lamt
market could be quoted 10' 15o lower.

NR\V YORK , April IB. The Financier
says :
For the first time since January 2S last
the weekly statement of the Now York clearIng -
Ing IIOUBO banks shows an Increase ) In Htirplna
reserves , the pain for the seven days euJliiK
with April 15 having been almost $1,500,000.
The highest point attained In the matter
of excess cash during the current year was
on the llrst datu named , when the surplus
was $30,242,025 , ng against $19,171.525 now.
Ilut the Interim has been marked by an ex
pansion of $42,000.000 In loans and J27.000-
000 In deposits. In addition to the Increase
reserve requirement : ) , duo lo enlarged do-
poslta , the banks have lost rather heavily In
the interior. U Is thought this niuvumenl is
at an end and the normal result favors a
rising percentage of average reserve and a
correspondingly easy money mnrkot. In ad.
dltlon to llio causes named , the payment of
the Philippine Indemnity will have the ef
fect of temporarily adding to Iho surplus
cash In bank , blnco the payment neJ con-
Umplated at present Involves a transfer of
the cash to Ihc bunks In purchase ) of ex
change , lic only offset being the $1,000,000
weekly , which the treauuiy proposes to call
frnin public dopuBilorlcs. H will bo seen that
every factor Is operating to strengthen the
position of the Now York Institutions.
Of the changes In the current lUatemcnt ,
the most Important Is Iho contraction of
$10.352,200 In loans , duo In part to the heavy
liquidation of the last ten days and to opera "
tions liiL-ldcnt to Iho llnanclng of Hovera"
heavy transactions. The loan contraction
has had the natural effect of reducing deposit -
posit ( labilities and the decreate of $0,486-
400 Is to bo tbus accounted for. This shrink
age reduced the reserve requirements by
$1,021.000 nnd ns the gain In raah was $2.831.-
10. the actual reserve Is J4.I52.TOU heavier
than for the previous week. While , ns
stilted , overj thing favors an easy prospect
for funds. 4t Is not to be inferred that the
market will bo the borrowers since the In-
additions uro using considerable camion In
advancing tnonuy on Industrials , although ,
as u matter of fact , thin la not the result of
a HUddim iPtermlmitlon , but rather the en
forcing of A pulley which to a greater or less
extent has been operative for ome time.

MANCIIKST12K , April 16. The market
last week wan dull but steady. American
yarns were rather Irregular , though without
pronounced receding , and Kgyptlan counts
were firm. In clnth the position of the
great eastern markets Is unchanged. There
lias been little doing because the offers have
been too low. Nevertheless some makers
report booking considerable lines , whllo most
of them nro deeply engaged. There has IM-CII
a fair miscellaneous business In the South
American and other minor markets , mostly
In printing , bleaching nnd finishing cloths.
Prices In heavy Roods have been firmly
sustained , but there has been no Improve
ment. The weavers , who had decided to
strike unless n in per cent advance In wages
was granted , have agreed to a conference
with the masters this week and a compro
mise Is expected. -
The Herman cotton trade Is mild to be los
ing money , especially In the Oladback dls-
i trlct , but the output continues unimpaired.
French spinners are doing well , with prices
trending higher.
