This is from such a source that it largely removes the possibiiity of international complications. As an évidence of the conciliatory sentiment of the German Government' it w id to-day that the note delivered to the department last week urged in behalf of the German Government that good relations existing between two such nations as the United States and Germany would not be interrupted by amn tance an official dispute in Samoa. It is said that the German Government probably would have accepted Admiral Kautz as a sort of umpire, taking hi decision as final, but that the objection, quite. forcibly expressed to the State Department, was the manner of his go- ing to Samoa while friendly exchanges were going on without notice to Ger- 15any. The German Embassador has received no advices and no instructions relative to.the reported bombardment, and there fs. no evidence thus far that Germany will protest or tone. mogt seriou hat the bom- bardment will excite public feeling on both sides of the water, leading to pop- ular outbursts which will overcome the efforts to secure a settlement. Omre of the latest propositions toward g settlement is that three commission- | ers -ba appointed, one from each coun- try, to meet in Samoa and sit as a court i settlement of the difficuit The State reveived official The demon- stration is regretted, but the opinion is expressed that Admiral Kautz acted on what was his best judgment and infor- mation. The State Department knowledges that no permanent agree- ment can be r in avhieh all three do not agree, and the hope is that some settlement of.the, difficulty may be brought about wheri it becomes apparent that the presént conditions cannot exist indefi nitely: Admiral Kautz acted within his in- gtructions. It is believed he concluded, after consultation with Captain St dee. of the Porpoise, ‘the senior B: naval officer, and the United States Britigh Consuls, that a state of anarchy existed which called for action. The fact that the edi of the Chief Jusrice were disregarded and were ignored al- though st ed by the representatives of two vf the gover a eoursé imperative. There is no doubt, with the facts now at hand, that Ad- miral Kautz will be sustained by the Unpited States Government.

There was issued to-day a prospectus of the “Lord and Lady Warwick Company, Limited,” by which historic Warwick Castle and its adjunct estates, priceless relics which are among its furnishings, rich collieries, the great income which the Countess has in her own right—in short, everything appertaining to the family, is converted into stock. The step is original. It is astounding, but nobody is surprised at anything the | Countess of Warwick may do, and no- body doubts that the “limited company”’ idea is of her devising. It is a conceit which society, having troubles of its own, will study with care and deep interest.. The Countess, ready of speech and im- pervious to gossip, makes no ado about the matter at all. At Warwick Castle to- day she spoke to the Journal correspond- ent in a very matter of fact way abput of a great emer- | working under stress gency. There was very hard fighting, with little time for sleep. Lack of sleep, in fact, caused the greatest suffering till some of our officers hit on the plan of elter tents just back of the trenches. And now when there is a call to arms our boys just roll out of th tents and into the trenches and are ready for_business. The insurgents have flerce attatcks at this poi coming within forty or fifty yards of the trenches. They have never been able to stand the fire quite long enough to reach | us, though. It was during one of these | attacks that Neilson and Packer, two pri- | vates of Company F of the First Califor- | nia, lost their lives. They got beyond the firing line, and Neilson was hit and | wounded. ~Packer could have got back all right, but he would not leave his chum.

Fire was opened on the enemy on our extreme right. The Nebraska Volunteers got the brunt of it and ran for the enemy’s positions. The rebels left, going toward the hills. The Nebraska Regiment lost thirty wounded and four killed. The Pennsylvania Regiment lost one killed and one wounded. The South Dakotas lost two wounded, The advance was in a skirmish line, but was barred by jungle and lagoons. | The advance continued for a mile with- out incident, the enemy apparently hav- ing gone. Two natives came in under a white flag and begged our protection. General MacArthur told them to re- turn, saying we would not harm non- | cembatants. The natives left, but al- most immediately the enemy's outpost fired down the railroad track on Gen- | eral MacArthur and his staff. On the advance of our men the enemy’s outposts withdrew. Two in- surgent trenches were passed deserted. Immediately in our front the first trenches of the insurgents about Malo- los are visible. A hard fight is expected.

Her friends, realizing that her mind was failing, last night concluded to have her locked up pending an examination as to her sanity. The unfortunate woman imagines that | ehe is being pursued by a relentless en- | emy who is determined to kill her. After being placed in a padded cell she sang several snatches from comic operas, which were listened to with rapt atten- tion by the other inmates and the at- taches of the hospital. Her sweet voice could be heard some distance away and attracted a crowd of passers-by, who re- fused to disperse until ordered to do so by the police. The unfortunate woman, it is claimed, exhibited symptoms of a decayed mind shortly after her return from Australia, where she had spent several months, fre- quently appearing in comic opera. She returned to this city a short time ago and secured an engagement at the | Alhambra. | | At the conclusion of her engagement she | | acted strangely, and a grave suspicion was felt that she was losing her reason. It was not until several days ago, how- ever, that she showed unmistakable signs of insanity. While walking along the | street, it is said, she would suddenly stop | and listen to some imaginary song. She | would join In the chorus, her melodious | voice being heard some distance away. After being placed in the cell Miss Post | begged piteously to be released. “I am not crazy,” she declared. ‘“Please do_not let them send me to an asylum.” She then became violent and demanded to be allowed to go home. 1t is the inten- tion of her friends to take her to some private asylum, where they earnestly hope by careful treatment that her men- tal balance will be restored. Some years ago the California song: stress made a decided hit at the Tivoll by her sweet voice. She gained considerable notoriety at the time by refusing to ap- pear_in tights. She has a mother living in this cify, as well as two brothe Ralph Post, the well-known son? and dance artist, and ‘“Stan” Post, the famous angler. Noted Railroad President Here. C. 8.
