Herr Rose, the German Consul, in his report of .the events prior to January 4, dated January 23, says the decision of Chief Justice Chambers in fa- vor of Malfetoa Tanu was bound to have a stupefying effect, inasmuch as in a Mr. Chambers declared there was no ground for contesting Mataafa’s assump- tion of the sovereignty if he were ‘%lected King. During the course of the discus- sion prior to the outbreak respecting the measures to be adopted to assure public | security, Mr. Maxse, the British Consul, | and Captain Sturdee of the British cruiser | Porpoise, are reported to have intimated | i | | | heir intention to forcibly prevent any ad- vance of the Mataafans and -to actively protect the Tanuites. While the Germans only announced such military measures as were prompted by the necessity to protect the lives and property of the whites, the British guards stationed at Mr. Chambers’ residence would, owing to | the locality, have been drawn directly | into conflict with the natives. | Herr Rose then relates how he rode on | the afternoon of January 1 to the Tivoli | Hotel in order, like many whites, to! watch events, and how on way there | he had to traverse a body of Mataafans, | to whom, however, he did not spea | Shortly after 4 o'clock, the German Con- | sul ,continues, he rode with Lieutenant Frelinghaus of the German warship Fal to Songi and home again.

Continuing, Herr Rose Says that at the time of the compulsor: reopening of the Supreme Court he- re- ained fromr applying to the captain of the Falke to protect Dr. Raffel, because he did not wish that “‘armed det ments % | and des adds | § GERMAN CONSUL ROSE DE ACTION AT APIA FENDS HIS Attributes the Trouble to the British and Americans. of two friendly states should confront one another for so slight a cause.” Herr Rose next discussed Mr. Cham bers’ proclamation of January 7, declar- ing the Supreme Court to_be independent of the exjstence of any provisional gov- ernment and the communication between United States Consul Osborne and Mr. Maxse, declaring Mr. Chambers to be the sole lawful Chief Justice, even during the existence of the provisional government. Mr. Rose continues: When, after consultation with the three Con- suls and Dr. Raffel, the commanders of the two warships decided to establish a provisional gov- ernment with Dr. Raffel as the head executive, Captain Sturdee and Mr. Maxse were o im- ressed with the great services rendered to the English by the guard at the mission on Janu- aty 3, through the energetic intervention of Dr. Raffel, that they overwhelmed him with praise and were ready to meet his views in every way. Owing to urgent official business in which Dr. Raffel was engaged, his. signature to the proclamation relating to the provisional govern- ment was postponed until January 4. When Dr. Raffel, on January 4, in accordance with the arrangement, submifted the draft, Mr. Maxse, who admitted that he had changed his opinion, demanded the insertion of a clause relating to the general act of the Berlin treaty. | Osborne the clause At the suggestion of Mr. was formulated as follows: “By no provision of the proclamation shall the rights and privileges of the treaty power representatives be changed or suspended.’’ Thereupon Mr. Rose remarks: In my opinion it was a distortion of the sense of these words to assert that Mr. Cham- bers' position by virtue of the proclamation remained unaffected by the recent upheaval. A third _report from Herr Rose, dated January refers to the Grevesmuhl case es how on January 25 Greves muhl, a German subject, was sentenced to a fine and imprisonment by Chief Jus- tice Chambers. The sentence of impris- onment became effective forthwith nd Raffel, “‘as representative Chief Jus- and by the advice of He; Rose, the imprisonment on the ground -gularity and brought Grevesmuhl the German consulate~ “as the sole ompetent legal authority.” e German Consul opened the proceed- ings against Grevesmuhl on January 20 and on the same day, ‘‘considering the Chief Justice's interference with the jur- jsdiction of a Conmsul to be a noteworthy circumstance and interesting to all the Consuls,” he invited his colleagues to a conference, but they declined to attend. On January 21 Grevesmuhl was sen- tenced to pay a fine of 600 marks and the money was pald the same day. - PEACEFUL MISSION OF THE PHILADELPHIA WASHINGTON, March 10.—It is de- nied positively at the State Department that Rear Admiral Kautz has gone to Samoa on the Philadelphia to restore the statu quo existing before the last emeute, to depose Mataafa and restore Malietoa Tanu, even if force is neces- sary to accomplish these objects. It is said the admiral has gone to Samoa to meet .the treaty cbligation that is im- posed upon the United States to send a warship there at least occasionally as an evidence of the interest held by the United States in the islands. While there he will make a careful examina- tion of the conditions in the islands and look into the events up to the installa- tion of the provisional government, re- porting all the facts to Washington.

DEWEY TO DESIGN HIS OWN UNIFORM WASHINGTON, March 10.—Admiral Dewey has been instructed to prescribe his own uniform for the exalted rank to which he has just been appointed, much attention to the matter of uni- form of late. His flag is blue with four stars set in the shape of a diamond. | tions b His uniform, under former regulations, when the navy had an admiral, would be four stars on his shoulder straps, the end stars being upon an .anchor. Tpon his shoulders he would wear two very broad bands -of gold, between which would be a band of yellow half the width of the outside bands. The vellow on his sleeves would extend nearly to the elbow. By 2 special act of Congr: passed in the closing hours Admiral Dewey will receive the pay of the last general of the army.

DAVISVILLE, March 10.—A. E. Larke, a tinsmith and well-borer, while sinking tubing in the bottom of a 17-foot well on | the ranch of Mrs. C. E. Greene was killed this afternoon by caving earth. He was buried under three feet of earth, and his cries for help could be heard for five minutes after the accident. An- other man, Frank Noel, who was ip tne well with Larke, had a narrow escape. He was buried to the neck and had to be dug_out_before the men could reach Larke. It was twenty minutes before Larke was reached, and he had expired from suffocation. The well was a large one and was not cased. It was to be used for irrigation purposes. Larke leaves a widow and six children. FROST DOES DAMAGE. VISALIA, March 10.—Last night's frost rujned the apricot crop. Peaches and prunes were not injured to any serious extent. CHICO, March 10.—Heavy frost here this morning caused great damage to the almond, cherry and peach crops. monds were well advanced, but suffered more than other crops. t 6 a. m. the mercury was down to iy i i k Hundreds of Persons Perished. LONDON, March 1l.—According to a dispatch to the Times from Sydney, N. S. W., no fewer than 200 persons perished in the hurricane that just swept the north. east coast of Queensland. SALINAS, March 10.—The people of Castroville were under high tension from sunrise till dusk to-day. There | were rumors that attempts would be | made to lynch Peter Castro, the alleged assailant of Mrs. James L. Douglass, |and counter rumors that friends of the accused man would try to take the prisoner from the Sheriff and liberate him. The cause of all this excitement was the fact that Castro was taken from the prison here to Salinas to-day | for his preliminary arraignment. Sheriff Farley was fearful there,would be some sort of demonstration on the part of the enraged citizens of the town and had taken every precaution to guard his prisoner, but though throughout the | entire day men gathered in Kknots on 'street corners and about the court- | room and angrily discussed the crime | and the punishment that should be | meted to the suspect, the proceedings | were concluded without an outbreak | and the ‘prisoner was returned to the Salinas jail. When Castro appeared before Judge | Clark in the town named after his grandfather he was worried and ill at | ease. Sheriff Farley kept a close watch | over his man and at no time was Castro | allowed to talk with any of his friends. Castro, when asked if he had a law- yer, replied he did not and that he needed none. Justice Clark gave him until to-morrow to get his attorney and | set the preliminary hearing-for that | time. When it was asserted the prisoner wanted no attorney the rumor at once gained currency that he ‘would confess | and expose the gang ‘which has so long | terrorized the community. He did not | say anything damaging while in court to-day, but it is thought he will con- fess soon. His family is anxious that he teil everything about the Douglass affair and divulge the names of his accomplices in other crimes, if he is guilty; but if he is innocent his rela- | tives will defend him through the | | courts. Mrs. L. Castro, the mother of | Peter, and his brother, William Castro, | of Watsonville, came over from Castro- | ville yesterday and remained for some time with the accused man in his cell. | William Castro said the purpose of | their visit here was to get Peter to con-’ | fess. | Peter Castro is the grandson of Man- uel Castro, the -founder of Castroville. The Castro family at one time owned 27,000 acres of land in one ranch and PETER CASTRO ARRAIGNED IN HIS HOME TOWN Angry Men Gather About the Court, but No Violence Is Attempted. had much wealth besides. The town was founded before Salinas and it was the most prosperous place in this valley for some time. The Southern Pacific ex- tended its line south,’ left out Castro- ville and thoroughly established this place, eight miles away. The wealth of Castro dwindled, but even yet the heirs of this old Castilian family retain some of the original grant. They will let it all go to save the wayward grandson. A ripple of excitement was caused to- day when F. W. alias “Buck” Silva re- appeared in Castroville. Silva left on the morning after the Douglass tragedy and was last seen in Watsonville. Silva asserted in his usual boastful man- ner that he had come back to “face the music” and if any one wanted him he would find a warm reception. It is now believed—in fact asserted by some of the vigilance committee—that Silva will furn State’s evidence and tell all he knows. However, he most emphat- ically denies any knowledge of the Douglass tragedy. Silva to-day said that he was with Castro part of the evening at a saloon. He got intoxi- cated and retired in the hotel at about 10 o'clock, as he expected to leave town the next day. On the next morning when he awoke he found Castro in the room and dressed. Castro said he, too, wanted to leaye town. Silva made the further assertion that on the night be- fore when he informed Castro of his intention to leave Castro said he would go too. Silva told him he had no spare money to pay two fares whereupon Castro exclaimed: “I'll get the money to-night, you bet.” Each day brings details regarding other crimes committed by the gang in the past. Following the attempt to rob and possibly murder Mrs. Johanna Daily on January 7, a Chinese cabin wherein lived several Mongolian farm- ers on the outskirts of Castroville was broken into and the inmates badly beaten. This crime was committed by several men, and it is claimed “Buck” Silva was the leader. Castro also is asserted to have been one of the party. The Chinese offered. great resistance and succeeded in not only saving them- selves from robbery, but disfigured one of the assailants. were badly battered. ‘“Buck” Silva was arrested. It is claimed the jury was “fixed,” and he went free. Even Father Mahoney, the Catholic priest of that parish, was not exempt from the depredations of the desper- adoes. The clergyman one night was aroused by a knock at the door. With- out opening the door he asked what was wanted. A voice which he believes he recognized replied that they ‘“wanted to sing for him.” The father grew sus- picious and politely informed his vis tors he would have no singing at that late hour.

CHILD'S DEATH. “Mr Kip- said Mr. | NEW YORK, March 10 ling is still improving,” Doubleday to-night. Mr. Kipling had taken some sweet- breads for supper and had been able to eat more of solid food than at any time since he became ill. TUnable to keep Mr. Kipling in ignor- ance of the death of his favorite daugh- ter, Josephine, the news was broken to him to-night by Dr. Dunham. The blow was a heavy one, but the’father bore up bravely. “How long was she {11?"" he asked. He was then told as much as the at- | tendants thought wise. Tears stood in the poet's eyes, and he murmured half | to himself, half aloud, “Poor little Joe.” 1t was thus he always called the little one. The doctors believe it was best to break the news, as the worry and dis- trust he seemed to have in all the re- plies given to his queries about the lit- tle one wouid probably have been more harmful than to let him have the truth. ————— .

C., March 10.—The ar- tival to-day of six royal engineers from® England for Esquimalt excited some peo- ple, who did not know that the British authorities have been strengthening forti- fications in Juan de Fuca Straits for years past. There is nothing in the report that it is the Intentlon of Great Britain, in view of future complications which may arise | question, to make trongest stations in her 'Majest jons. The present works at Esquimalt are being carried out in accordance with the decision of the Imperial Government to have strong fort- Tesses at elther -end of Canada—at Esqui- malt and Halifax. JOHN BLUNDELL LEIGH SUES FOR A DIVORCE NEW YORK, March 10.—A special cable to the Journal from London says: The first steps have been taken in a di- votrce case that will become famous. The principal figures in the case are the young Earl of Cottenham and Lady Rose Leigh, both of whom are very prominent in titled society. Lady Leigh is a daughter of the Mar- quis of Abergavenny, former president of' the Carlton Club. She {s titled {n her own name, having been Lady Neville before her marriage to John Blundell Leigh. She is a noted beauty. The Earl of Cottenham is 25 years old, six feet tall, a master of hounds, un- married, and much sought after in so- ciety. A Scotland Yard detective and Mr. Leigh recently followed Lord Cotten- ham and Lady Leigh to a hotel close to Leicester Square and broke in the door of their room.

Cody, who was found guilty by a jury here yesterd of blackmailing: the Gould heirs. announcing his decision he said: “Mrs. Cody, the vinced me that you are guilty beyond question, yet I feel that, in view of the jury’s unanimous recommendation for mercy and the popular sentiment which favors it, I am justified in following their suggestion and suspending sen- tence in your case. You are free to go on your own recognizance.” It is understood that the jury’s rec- ommendation was on account of the prisoner’s age and for no other reason. Miss Helen Gould has made no attempt to interfere with the court’s decision one way or the other. Asked if she had anything to say be- fore sentence was passed upon her Mrs. Cody answered: “I am innocent, sir.” She left at 10 o’clock to-night for In Denver, Colo., where her daughter lives. | The latter forwarded the money for her transportation.

Will Test the Meat Packed in Their Presence to Determine the Amount of Nutriment Contained Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, March 10.—The Court of Inquiry resumed its work regarding beef to-day by continuing the investi- | gation of processes of preparation at | the stock yards. Several more of the | packing houses were inspected, most of | the time being spent in examining the | methods of one of the companies which | deals exclusively in canned goods. The | varlous stages from the killing of the beef to the labeling of the can were witnessed. After having seen an animal Kkilled. the court followed the carcass to the refrigerator rooms and from there to the department where the meat was cut into pieces for canning. Much in- | terest was observed as to the charac- | ter of the meat used for canning pur- | pose; General Davis was the chiet in- | quisitor, the other members of the 1 court being content to simply watch the various processes. From the cut- ting room the meat was taken in large iron carts to the cooking room, where it was boiled. Twenty minutes is the | time allowed for this process, and when the time had expired, the beef was | taken from the large vats and carted | into the canning room. Dr. Bigelow, | who is-with the court as an expert, got samples of the extract which re- | mained in the vat and will examine it | to determine the quantity of nutriment | which it contains. { The canning room was next inspect- | ed. Here the beef was cut into smaller | pieces and thrown into a pressing ma- | chine, through which it passed into the | cans. The meat was then ready for the ‘“roasting” process, but as the ovens were not quite ready, the court | spent some time in looking over the | departments where the cans are made. | This was done so _that'the court might | have full knowledge as to the manner | of getting the cans ready for the beéf. After witnessing the roasting process, the court left the packing house and adjourned to meet at 10 o’clock to-mor- | row morning. Three army commissaries have been | summoned to appear, and it i{s expected | their testimony will be taken. 5 SIGAFUS’ FORTUNE ‘ TO BE ATTACHED - 2 | CHICAGO, March 10.—It is likely that | J. M. Sigafus of New York will have to | wait some time before he gets posses- | sion of the wvalise containing $500,000 worth of bonds and certificates of de- | posit which was recently stolen from | him at the Polk-street Depot and which was recovered by the police. The valise is in the hands of the Wells-Fargo E press Company and wds tp have been forwarded to Sigafus, who is now in California, but United States Marshal Osborn has served the express com- pany with notice to hcld the papers un- | til further orders from the Federal Court. When creditors of Sigafus in Haver- hill, Mass., who hold a judgment of $325,000 against him, read of the fund, they immediately notified their attorneys to attach the property. The ‘judgment against Sigafus was obtained in Los Angeles after two years’ litigation over the Good Hope mine, but no property could be found on execution, although | the creditors claim to haye been aware | that Sigafus had a fortune in bonds and | securities. —— Assembly Doorkeeper’s Death. SAN RAFAEL, March 10.—William | Crane, a well-known citizen of this place, | who was recently obliged to resign his position as doorkeeper of the Assembly | | at Sacramento on account of ill health, | died to-day from a complication of dis- | eases. He had long suffered from kidney | trouble and heart disease, and the.end | was hastened by an attack of pneumonia. | The deceased was for a long time steward | of the San Rafael Athletic Club.

SALINAS, March 10.—Sheriff Farley of | this county is anxious to capture a forger whose name is Joseph Lopez, but who travels under many aliases. Lopez hails | from this county, but his operations have | been in other places until quite recently, | when it was found he had forged checxs | and passed them in Salinas. One loser is B. H. Davis, manager of the Southern Pacific Milling Company in this city. Lopez, so it appears from letters to the Sheriff, is wanted in Tulare, Fresno and many other towns. He is a Mexican of good education and a skillful manipula- tor of a pen. ,,,,, e | SAN RAFAEL, March 10.—The county officlals have been making vigorous com- plaint for some time -that the defective condition of the sewer pipes is fast mak- ing life within the confines of the court- house not only unpleasant but dangerous. | At times the odor on the lower floor of the | building is stifling, and even the Superior | Court room on thé upper floor is not free | from the fumes on & warm day.
