ADJUS-TM‘: NT OF SAMOA. N TRCUELE
Germany to Repudlate the Action of
_ Her Consul.
Washington, D. 0.. Jan. 23. -—It Can-
be stated authoritatively that if the
Published reports of the events at Apia
are true.,the acts of the German con-
sul. Rose,'and o fthe president of the
' municipal council, Raffel, were not the
result of instructibns from the German
government, and so far'as these acts
were violative of the treatyof Berlin,
It is not believed at the state depart-
ment that they will recedve‘the appro-
val of the German government.
The German ambassador, Dr. von
Holleben, called on Secretary Hay at
the state department ‘and presented
'two important dispatches from the
German government relating to the
critical condition of affairs In Samoa.
Following this an extended conference
was held between. Mr. Hay and the
ambassador, and then between Mr.
Hay and the British ambassador, Sir
Julian Pauncefote.
The dispatches communicated by- the
German ambasSador dealt. not only
with the question of. policy involved,
but are? understand to have presented
in detail the facts of the recent col-
lision. in Samoa, as viewed from the
German standpoint. They differ in
“ma-m“ essential Warn" from: thee
' statements made heretofore.
All of the parties to the treaty are
laboring under also]: of exact Infor-
mation as to what actually occurred
at Apia. The statements coming fxom
'American and German sources vary in
some most important essentials, or at
least leave unmentioned facts that
would largely qualify the matters: of
complaint.
It is not known here just why M;
taafa was disqualified by Chief Jus-
tice Chambers, ‘nor just why the pro-
visional government was recognized
b ythe three consuls after that legal
disqualification. The most important
fact that the department of state is
confident of is, that the question of the
succession to the throne was submit-
ted to the chief justice for that was
stated in. the reports. received in the
mail preceding the last dispatches. The
submission accordingto the treaty of
the question would seem to indicate a
recognition on the part of the consuls
of the right of the chief justice to ad-
judicate it, and the treaty expressly
binds all three parties to the obliga—
tion to execute the judgment rendered
by the chief justice. It is not even to
be guessed here, therefore, how the
German representatives could have
found it consistent with their obliga-
tions under the treaty to support the
Mataafa party to the extent :that hey
did.

but is going straight ahead to Manila,

cal analysis of the residuum beef tea
made from the refrigerator beef suppli-
ed to the army In Porto Rico bears out
the charge made by General Mllen that
the beef was chemically. preserved.
Professor F. W. Clarke. chemist of
the Geological Survey, an expert select-
ed by the War Investigating Commis-
sion, testified Saturday that he found
evidences of beracic acid and salicy-
lic acid in the residuum of the tea sub-
mined by. Major Daly. Chemical an-
alysis by which Professor Clarke deter-
mined the presence of these acids was
made by Professor Clark and Majm
"Daly.
As the case now stands it is shown
by the testimony of the government
expert now connected with (the. army,
-1uoo 11031959891111; an: Aq paioalas pun
mission, that the beef tea submitted
by Major Daly contained boracic and
salicylic acids, and it this beef tea was
made from refrigerated beet sent to'
Porto Rico for tr .1: use troops, as Major
Daly sweais it was, General Miles is
vindicated.
This has a direct bearing on the case
of Commissary General Egan; whose
only defence is that he was driven to
the use of harsh language against
General Miles by the latter’s criticism
of his department and false statements
that chemically prepared beef had
been fed to the soldiers. The testi-
mony of Major Daly and Professor
Clarke, it is believed, will go far to-
ward justlfying all that General Miles
said, and will thus break down the only
defence General Egan has.
Paymaster T. H. Hicks, of the navy,
who had much to do with the purchase.
of supplies during the War, testified
as to the good quality of the canned
beef supplied to the navy. It was not
shown, however, that'the navy beef
was the same quality as that bouwht
for the army. .
Professor Clarke was closely examin-
ed. He said the powder was of a
brownish color, .while the“ borax was
white, but he did not explain the dif-
ference.
\Vitness said he could say nothing of
the origin of the materials tested, no:-
could he suite the probable amount of
these chemical agents used that Would

he could not say whether it f01 med any

As to the effect on health of. using

Washington, D. C. Jan. 23 .--Dr. Jose

missioned by Aguinaldo to establish a
Filipino junta here, arrived in Wash-
ington Saturday. They are all men of
goodappearance. All three are par

Is a nephew of Bishop Burgos, who was '
shot by the Spaniards as a traitor
when. at the beginning of the Philip-
pine revolt, he espoused the cause of
the Filipino: and aided in the prepa-
ratibns for war. .
Concerning their mission to Wash-
ington Dr.‘ Lozada s'aid:
“We have cOme here as the repre-
sentatives of the Philippine govern-
ment, of which General Amilo Again-
aldoiis president. We are here under
sealed orders from our president to
Senor Agoneillo, who is the ambassa-
idor and pleuipo‘tentia‘ry to the United
States. We will place ourselves 'under
his direction for the single purpose of
securing the recognition of the Philip-
pine government by the United. States.
How such recognistioniwill be brought
about, of course, I am not at present
able to state, although We have out-
lined a plan of action and will begin
work at' once, alwaysho‘f course, in a
diplomatic manner. Much will depend
upon the. ratification or rejection of
thepeace treaty ‘now before your Sen-
ate or its possible amendment. As
yet, the American government has not
defined its policyptoward the Philip-
pine islands, but it is our aim to se-
cure absolute independence, to which
we are justly entitled, as much and
even more so than the United States
were from Great Britain.”
Asked what the Filipinos under Ag-
ulnaldo would do if the American for-
ces now before the city attempted to
land, Dr. Lozada. said it had been .a
month since his departure from the
Philippines and he did not feel at li'b-
erty to express an opinion on the sub-
ject. '
“The Filipinos,” he continued, “have
more than forty thousand arms in the
islands and plenty of ammunition.
Most of these guns, as well as the am:
munition, in fact practically all, was
captured from the Spaniards and sur—
rendered by them to us. )We have not
had to. purchase munitions of war. The

M. Delcasse, minister of foreign af-

The Echo de Paris. quotes ‘Colonel
Guerin, parliamentary reporter of the
Army Commission, as‘ expressing the
belief that war between France and
