SALISBURY ACCEPTS

England Agrees to the Pro-‘
posed Samoan Settlement.

NO FURTHER TROUBLE ANTICIPATED.

The Details-of the Fornlntion of the
Commission Not. Yet Arranged—As-
sistant Secretary of State Crid-
ler May Represent Ainericn.

WASHINGTON, April 5.—Lord Salis~
bu1y has accepted the plan proposed

‘ by Germany for the settlement of the
} Samoan trouble by the appointment of ,

a. tripartite commissione1.

As the United Stat as has already ac-
cepted the general proposition, there is
no longer doubt as to the organization
of the commission. _

It is not believed here that there will
be any difficulty in arranging the de-
tails of the commission plan for the set-
tlement of the Samoan trouble arising
from reluctance 01: the part of the Brit—
lsh government to throw aside the Ber-
lin treaty. The state department does
not expect that it will be necessary to
go far outside of the lines of that con-
1* ention to secure a satisfactory adjust—
ment of the present difficulties. As
there appears to be an apprehension
that the proposed commission may not
be limited in its Jfunctions sufiiciently
to meet the British ideas, it may be said
that the plan in contemplation safe-
guards all essential points. It is pro-

posed that the commission shall visit -

the islands, make a careful inquiry into
existing conditions and then apply such
remedial measures as may seem to be
necessary to insure tranquillity. It will
be distinctly understood that whatever
the commission does in that line will
be purely temporary in character and
subject to the approval of the three
governments party to the Berlin treaty.
Then the commission will be expected
to frame a scheme for submission to
and approval by each of the three pow-
ers for the future government of the is-
lands, involving perhaps scznc more or
less radical changes in- the original Ber-
cf the three gov-
ernments therefore chances the loss of
any substantial interest in the Samoan
group by accepting this commission
plan, and this is probably the explana-
tion of the announced acceptance by
the British government of the principle
of the commission plan. The president
has not yet made a selection of the
commissioner who shall represent the
United States government, but a deci-
sion is expected very soon. He has be-
fore him several names of persons who
rank high as publicists or as experts
in international practice. Prominent
among the latter is Thomas W. Cridler,
the present third assistant secretary of
state,_ who has been suggested princi-

pally because of his thorough familiari-

ty with the subject, having made a
study of Samoan affairs from the date
of the Berlin meeting ten years ago.

Another name that is undei considei-
ation is that of Mr. ’Henry Adams, who
6finds his recommendation f01 prefer-
ment th1ough his former residence in
Samoa and acquaintance with the hab-
1-15 of the people and his sc-1ola1ly quali-
ties.

\VASIIINGTON,- April 5.—Much in-
terest is felt here in the proposition
originating with the inhabitants of St.

 

L‘1itish West Indies.
There are strong arguments in favor
of such an exchange it Great Britain

'sessions in the Caribbean see. they
would prefer the latter.
