KAUTZ SENDS CABLEGRAM.
Notified Deportment of V/ilAit
In HHtnoMfi Idiriinld.
The only official news received
Washington touching the last
in Samoa was contained in the follow-
itig cablegram from Admiral Kautz:
"Auckland, N. Z., April
retaiy of the Navy, Washington: On

the British and the United States, un¬
der Lieutenant Freeman, British uavy,

Kauiz.”
Secretary Long said that no addi¬
tional instructions were to be seat by
him to tho admiral. The secretary of
state, however, lias been told that he
is at liberty to forward any instruc¬
tions to the admiral that he may deem
necessary, but that if he concludes to
do so, he must act immediately.
Representative Hull, of Iowa, chair¬
man of the house military committee,
was one of the president’s visitors
Wednesday. “This He said:
government will not attempt
to discredit our men there unless it is
shown clearly that they are in tho
wrong. If Germany persists in her
present course there may be a war. I
do not believe this administration will
allow Germany to run this government
ns she seems to he trying to do now.
In iny section of tho country the feel¬
ing lias boeu strong against Germany
for six months. The people believe
that she was hostile to us in the war
with Spain. The people are in such
temper that they will not permit any
trifling or hedging on the part of the
United States. If there should he
war I do not believe that all the
European countries could or would
stand against Great Britain and tho
United Stntes.”
Senator Thurston said that it would
be pretty hard for three of tho most
enlightened nations of the earth
have war over a few little islands I
•which are of no consequence,
considered the situation somewhat
grave.
Senator Stewart said: ‘‘Does Ger¬
many want to fight? If so, she may
be accommodated. We are a peaceful
people, but we don’t permit others to
go around with chips on their should-

DEWEY KNOWS NO PARTY.
Admiral 8ayn He Won’t He a Candidate
For the Presidency.
Admiral Dewey has given to the Ma¬
nila correspondent of Leslie’s Weekly
an interview regarding the suggestion
that the admiral be made a candidate
f ° r presidency next year. The
admiral said, as to his politics:
“I am a sailor. A sailor has no pol¬
itics. The administration is his party,
and republican or democrat, it makes
no difference. Then, again, I come
from Vermont, and you know wbat
that means. To be anything but a re¬
publican in Vermont is to be a man
without a party. My flag lieutenant
comes from Georgia. He tells me that
to be anything but a democrat in the
south is to be a nobody. If I lived
south I would probably be a demo¬
crat.”
( t Have yon ever voted?” the corres¬
pondent asked.
‘‘Yes, years ago, but my vote was
usually influenced by personal prefer¬
ence or local conditions. I am not a
politician, and have never held political
office, am totally ignorant of party
intricacies and affiliations.”
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education or
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. He said that he was too
well along in life to consider such a
possibility. His health would not ad¬
mit it. All his life’s work was in dif¬
ferent lines of effort, and that, while
the kindness and enthusiasm of his
friends wore grateful to him, and the
generous tributes of the American peo¬
ple were dear to him, he could not and
would not be a candidate for the pres¬
idency of the United States under any
conditions.
THE L. & N. WINS.
Georgia Railroad I.rii«o I.itigntlon Sot-
tied By Judge Pardee.
An Atlauta dispatch says: There is
no longer any question about the fu¬
ture control of tho Georgia railroad.
Judge Don A. l’ardee settled that Sat¬
urday by a decree which vested all
title to the lease of the Georgia road
in the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road.
By the same action the court en-
joined the Central of Georgia from
ever hereafter asserting any claim to
the lease, thus disposing of a long
litigation.
Twenty some odd years ago, when
William Wadley leased the Georgia
railroad, he did not dream that the
Louisville and Nashville wonld ever
get complete control of the road. He
was then presideut of the Central
Railrord and Banking Company, and
after leasing the Georgia as no indi¬
vidual, he made another lease to the
Central and the Louisville and Nash¬
ville as joint lessees. Each company
was to have equal voice in selecting
the officers of the Georgia road.
For years the Georgia was operated
as a neutral Hue. When tho Central
railroad went into a receivership it
failed more than once to put up its
proportion of the deficit in the rental.
The Louisville and Nashville made the
rental good to the stockholders to pre-
vent the lease being annulled.
When the Central’s properties and
assets were put up for sale, the old
company’ s half interest in the lease of
Georgia road was bought in by
]\j easrs . Thomas and Ryan, who were
con j no ting the reorganization.
About two years ago the Central
j{ a j| Wrt y Company made a claim upon
the Louisville and Nashville for a half
inVerest iu the lease of the Georgia,
The claim was denied by the Louisville
and Nashville. Then Messrs. Thomas
an( j Rvan asserted their claim, de-
t q a ring* that they had bought the old
Centl . ftl > 8 half interest iu the lease.
mutter was carried to the courts
for adjudication.

TENNESSEE JUDGES SKIP OUT.

Some strange developments seem to

WILL UPHOLD KAUTZ
Until It Is Proved That His Action In Sa¬
moa Wat Wrong.
A Washington dispatch says: An a
result of conferences held Tuesday at
the state department and at the Brit¬
ish embassy, efforts will be made te
have the Bamoan high commission
make a quick trip across the country,
reaching Sau Francisco in time to
catch the next boat leaving for Samoa.
This is regarded as a distinctly fa¬
vorable turn in the negotiations, and
as indicating that the three govern¬
ments are very near to a complete ac¬
cord on all the points of the commis¬
sion.
It does way also with the reports
that Germany was withholding the
appointment of her commissioner, and
makes practically certain that Baron
Speck Yon Sternberg, first secretary
of the German embassy at Washing¬
ton, will be the German high commis¬
sioner.
Iu an anthoritative quarter it was
stated that reports of a German protest
against Admiral Kautz’s course in ref¬
erence to the treatment of the cruiser
Falke were unwarranted. All the ne¬
gotiations, it is said iu the highest
German quarters, are of such a charac¬
ter as to bring the governments more
closely together instead of separating
them.
As it has been strongly intimated in
the Berlin dispatches that the German
government was about to make a de¬
mand for a disavowal of Admiral
Kautz’s action, it may be stated that
our government will certainly not ac¬
cede to any such request iu advance
a full knowledge of all the facts in
ease and a conviction that the admiral
acted wrongly, the presumption al¬
ways beiug that our officers have acted
with due propriety nntil the contrary
is shown to be the case.
If Admiral Kautz found Mataafa,
the self-constituted king, with liis
thirteen chiefs, dominating the affairs
of the island, involving the suspen¬
sion of the functions of the supreme
court, and of the municipal council,
formally and chrly established by
treaty, then it was his duty, accord¬
ing to the state department, to bring
the condition at once- into conformity
with the treaty-
