New-S Seems Authentic, but Washing;-
ton Authorities Doubt and Say
the Report Is Absurd— May
Have Been German Planter.
SEATTLE, Wash, April 21.—A Times
special f10m Victoria. B. C... says that
the stea 11101 Morangi, from Australia,
blings ad1ices that the commander of
the German man—of—war Falkc at Sa—
moa. had been arrested by the B1itish
and is 1101.1 held :1 p1isone1 on the vessel
Poxpoise. He 11 as surmised by a squad
of British sailors handing euros and
ammunition to Mataafa s 111th.
pmt we s b1ought to Aust1alia by the
passengcis on the steamci Upola.
After the arrest of the Folk-3's com-
mander a conference was held between
Captain Sturl‘lee and Admiral Kautz,
and the Porpoise and the Philadelphia
steamed to positions on either side of
the Falke. Orders were then sent
aboard that if she made a move of any
kind she would be blown out of the
water. No one is allowed to go aboard
or leave the German ship of war with-
out permission written and signed by
either Captain Sturdee of theP01‘poise
or Admiral Kautz.
Fighting continues between the forces
of Mataafa and Malietoa Tanus.
fights with slight loss of life are daily
occurrences, and business is practical—
ly at a stun ds till. There is considera-
ble sickness among seamen of the Por-
pbise and the Philadelphia. Three of
the Porpoise’s crew died from fever.
Lieutenant Garnet of the Porpoise is
amonglhc sick. Mataafa’s cause is
waning.
April 4 is the date on which the re-
ported arrest was made.
News Doubted at \Vashington.
WASHINGTON April 21.~—Thc state-
ment that the commander of the Ger-
man cruiser Falke had been arrested at
Apia by the British naval commander
was at once scouted by the officials to
whom it was referred here. Both Secre-
tary Hay and Secretary Long expressed
their disbelief in the accuracy of the re-
port. Attention was directed to the fact
that the navy department had heard
from Admiral Kautz by cable from
Auckland at’a later date than that up-
on which the steamer just arrived'at
Victoria must have sailed from Apia on
her long eastward voyage. Admiral
Kautz’s dispatch was dated April 4,
and it was forwarded from the nearest
cable station, Auckland, April 12. It is
regarded as extremely unlikely that a
steamer could have made the trip from
Apia to Victoria since April 4.
It is pointed out in official German
quarters that the arrest of the com-
mander of one warship by the com-
mander of another ship is an absurdity,
and, moreover, cable advices have
reached the embassy much laterathan
those which a steamer could have
brought to British Columbia in which
no such action was disclosed. The Brit-
ish embassy also is without any infor—
mation of such an occurrence.
Planter Instead of Colnnlander?
ST. PAUL, April 21.—It is believed
here that the dispatch from Apia refers
to the arrest of the German planter
'upon whose plantation the British and
American forces were ambushed, but
the dispatch as received at Victoria
reads “commander of the German war—
ship Falke."
513112115: For the Philippines.
IVASHINGTON, April 21.——The post—
ofiice department is preparing to send
a supply of stamps to the director of
posts for the Philippines, at Manila,. for
use in the islands and to replace the
Spanish stamps. The stamps will be
similar to those used in this country,
but will have the word “Philippines"
printed across the face. The following
quantities will be forwarded in about a
week: Two million ones, 4,000,000 twos.
5.00.000 threes, 500,000 fives and 500.000
