Despatch of Commission.
San Francisco,. April 11.—A letter
received here from an officer of tlie
Philadelphia, dat(?d Apia, March 24,
says in part:
"It was asserted without contradic
tion that ammunition had been sent
ashore to tlie rebels from the German
gunboat Falke, and subsequent events
seem to prove it, as unlimited firing
has been indulged m by the rebels and
still continues, at times being very
lively.
"It being a crime under the terms
of the Berlin treaty to furnish arms
and ammunition to tlie natives, they
would have no means of obtaining a
supply elsewhere, and the fact that
empty shells found on the battleground
of German manufacture and the
same kind as used by the Falke, al
most proves the complicity of the Ger
mans.
"It is also a curious fact that after
the first day's shelling by the ships
the Mataafa men always rushed
toward the waterfront and took posi
tions in the rear of the German con
sulate or German buildings so as not
to lie in the line of fire.
"Another fact that needs no corrob
oration is that the German Tivoli Ho
tel has been a source from which in
formation has been given to therebels.
It was from the upper porches of the
Tivoli that the shots were tired that
killed and wounded live of the English
bluejackets. The owner is now a
prisoner in his own building, and is
liable to be for some time."
Berlin. April 11.—American Ambas
sador White and the British Ambassa
dor, Sir Frank Lascelles have con
ferred with Baron von Bnelow, Min
ister of Foreign Affairs, with refer
ence to the latest Sainoan develop
ments.
The German Government urgently
urges the speedy appointment and dis
patch of the commission so as to pre
vent further difficulties.
A foreign Office official, empowered
to spealc for the Government', said
that the action of the Americans and
British is a clear violation of the Sa
inoan act. that Germany intends to
adhere to this view, tliat she considers
the new goverifhient of Samoa illegal
and that she has so instructed her
Ambassadors at Washington and Lon
don.
Washington, April 11.—-The British
Government has selected Mr. C. N. E.
Eliot, C. 8.. as the British member of
the Joint High Commission for the set
tlement of tlie Samoan question. The
British Ambassador. Sir Julian
Pauncefote. called at the State. De
partment to-day and informed Secre
tary Hay of Mr. Eliot's appointment.
The appoininent gave much satisfac
tion in Government and diplomatic
circles, as Mr. Eliot is a member of
the Embassy staff, and during his
brief service here has made many
friends.
Mr. Kliot lias the reputation of being
one of the brightest lights among the
schools of young Englishmen who
have attached themselves to the Brit
ish foreign service in the last decade.
He is an orientalist of the highest re
pute. and has in a brief space of
time acquired an experience in dealing
with the half-civilized races thai will
without doubt make his services of
value to the Sanioan Commission..
Washington, April 11. A iongDiplo
matic struggle over Samoa is inevita
ble. Germany's position was made
known to the Stale Department, to
day. She contends that as the pro
visional government, was established
by the unanimous action of the rep
resentatives of the three powers, it
could not be legally upset by only a
majority action—that of Great Britain
and the United States. Iri other words,
Germany upholds Consul Rose's ac
tion in issuing a proclamation contro
verting Admiral Kautz's.
This is taken to mean that Germany
will resist all efforts to make her pay
an indemnity for British sailors and
the American marine who were killed
by Mataafa's followers as a result of
Rose's incendiary utterances. Ger
many lias taken the position that it
was Katitz who was high-handed in
attempting to force upon the Samoans
a majority action when a unanimous
action was in Germany's judgment
required under the Berlin treaty.
The administration will stand by
Katitz to the end. It is admitted that
liis firm actions in three weeks have
done more to solve the Sainoan diffi
culties than was previously accom
plished in five years.
Detroit'* Municipal Franchise**.
Detroit. Mich., April 10. —Prosecut-
ing Attorney Allen 11. Frazer. of
Wayne county, by his refusal to lend
his official name to the quo warranto
proceedings demanded by the dozen
or so opponents to the municipal own
ership of street railways, gave the
opposition the hardest blow it has yet
had. Outside the law firm interested
In pushing these proceedings, the in
fluence Is all in favor of the action
taken by the prosecuting attorney.
The next step the opposition must
take Is to apply to Attorney-General
Oren for his official sanction, but it is
as good as refused already, as he has
publicly expressed his belief that the
opposition has no legal grounds upon
which to base Its demands for a quo
warranto proceeding . There is a sin
gle avenue of belief left to the oppon
ents of the measure, and that is to ap
ply to the Supreme Court for a man
damus to compel Prosecuting Attoraey
Frazer to start proceedings. There is
no doubt public sentiment is In favor
of Pingrees commission, and not with
the opposition.
COURTS AND ARMY CLASH.
HmuJadgi Protests Acalnit G«n. Lad

loan l'rlsoners Incommunicado.
Havana, April 11.—Judge Ortz. of
the Guadalupe district lias recommend
ed to Secretary of .Justice Lanuza that
Gen. Ludlow be prosecuted for viola
tion of the laws. According to Ortiz,
Gen. Ludlow should bo punished for
violation of a certain section of the
Spanish Penal Code, prevailing here,
which forbids the interference of the
military authorities with the courts of
justice. Though this provision is In
the code, however, the Spanish mili
tary authorities always ordered the
Judges to pronounce sentences in ac
cordance with their wishes. Gen.
Ludlow's offence was that h<> sent, a
note to the Judge forbidding him
to put any more American citizens in
Jail incommunicado or without letting
him know the nature of the charges
against them. lie also forbade the
Judge to appoint counsel, at Hie same
time keeping proceedings against, pris
oners secret. Gen. Ludlow declares
that the Americans are under the
American Hag and cannot be treated
in so inhuman a manner. Judge Ortiz
says that such laws are in force and
must be obeyed by all.
The Cuban press demands the en
forcement of tlie same constitution as
that promulgated by (Jen. Wood in
Santiago, which puts in force the writ
of habeas corpus and conserves in
dividual lights. The pro-Spanish pa
pers are all against (Jen. Ludlow, call
ing him a tyrant. All the members of
the court appointed by Spain are also
bitterly against him.
The Cuban Generals met and elected
Con. Maximo (ionics'. Commander-in-
Chief of the Cuban Army in the prov
inces of Havana. Pinar del Rio, Ma
tanzas and Santa Clara. Gen. Gomez
has conferred with Gen. Brooke. II is
said to-day lie will lie officially
notified of his appointment. The Cu
ban Generals cabled lo the Cuban
Commanders in Puerto Principe and
Santiago to accept the eleotion of
Gomez. El Reconcentrado continues
its savage attacks upon Gen. Gomez.

Tried to Wreck KipriiM Train.
Chattanooga. Tenn., April 10.—An
attempt was made to wreck and rob
a northbound passenger train on ilie
Chattanooga, Rome Southern Rail
way, on a trestle near Lafayette, Ga.
Had the plan succeeded many persons
would have been killed .The train was
running slowly on account of high
water, ant! this prevented a catastro
phe. Early in the night a pile ofcross
ties was discovered on the main line
and the obstruction removed by sec
tion men. Soon after they departed
a second lot of ties were placed, and
the train struck the timber, derailing
and parially wrecking the locomotive
and one car. Detective Phipps, of
Chattanooga, and Lis fatuous blood
hounds arrived on the scene. After a
lively chase of several miles through
North Georgia the officers arrested
George Scribe and Duffy Morgan, two
white men. They were found in a
log cabin, broke down and confessed.
Scribe says that they had arranged

Jersey City, April 11. Hereafter it
a man is sent to jai! for debt in New
Jersey he will have to slay there ali
his life unless Congress lakes some
action to get hint out. Such was the
decision made by Judge Itiair in Jer
sey City, lie ruled that the new Fed
eral bankruptcy law supercedes the
old Insolvent debtors' law of New Jer
sey, and declared that while the now
law permits a man to be sent to jail
for debt il makes in. provision for get
ting hint out. Consequently. lie de
clared tile Imprisoned man must stay
there unless Congress passes an
amendment to the law which will let
him out.
The decision was rendered in the
case of Joseph Schiiil/.er. a second
had furniture dealer of Newark and
Summit a\ enues. Jersey City. When
unable to pay his debts Schnitzel", un
der the old New Jersey laws, agreed
to divide all his property among his
creditors and gave a bond that he
would do so. Yesterday his lawyer
applied to Judge Blair for an order to
distribute his properly.
Judge Blair refused to grant the re
quest. anil said thai the State law had
been superceded by the Federal.
"Under this law," lie said, "1 shall
be compelled to follow the precedents
established l>,v Judge Van Sickle in
1870 and more recently in the Federal
Courts. These declare Unit as the
Federal law makes no provision for
the release of an imprisoned debtor,
the man must sta.\ in jail as long as
he lives unless Congress conies to his
aid with an amendment.
"In this case ilte bond given by
Sehnitger was approved before the
Federal law went into effect. It con
sequently holds good." Judge Blair
said. "I cannot, however, order the
distribution of his goods. It this ease
the only remedy his creditors have Is
to sue his bondsmen.
"In the future, however, no bonds
can be accepted, and lhe convicted
debtor must goto jail and stay there."
