AMERICAN Again the Subject of Bitter Party Attack in the German Reichstag.- AN ECONOMIC WAR LIKELY Between Germany and America Growing Out of the Pending Meat Inspection Bill-Our Own Statements Abqut Canned Roast Beef and Embalmed Refrigerated Beef Quoted Against Ameri can Alcats-hixcitement Over Samoan Affairs Abat-ed--Fricndly Relations Between Americans ; and Germans in the Philippines. (Copyrighted by Associated Pfcsf.) Berlin, April 22. The meat inspec tion bill in the reichstag and the Mid land canal bill in the diet have engross ed attention this week through Ger many. The agrarians and reactiona ries oppose both measures, and the ulti mate fate of the bills will be interpret ed as evidence of the fighting strength of the parties. Regarding the meat inspection bill, which mor-1 directly touches American interests, there were many interesting 'tions now prevailing between the Ger i a r.ae. ,iat Thfl.maDS and Americans in the Philip- The - leading agrarians made a point of aim- ing their remarks and gestures at Pro fessor Stiles, the scientific attache of the United States embassy, who was present during the whole debate, but j who has now started for home, on ac , count of family matters. Trichinosis was hardly discussed by any of the two score speakers, and the charge that American pork is frequently trichinous, which until a year ago was constantly reiterated in the press, reichstag and diet, was not made on the floor of the house. This shows that the irrefutable scientific propf to the contrary advanc- ed by ProfessorStiles has been accepted ( as conclusive, by evep the wildest agra- ; rians. It was also notable that the debate was practically a repetition of state ments made at the United States army beef, investigation, with the worst evi dence and the bitterst construction of all sort3 of American press comments. The reputation of leading packing houses was torn to shreds by quotations from American publications, which were read in extenso, or which were summarized by Herren Klinkowstrom, Wangenhiem, Vielhabon, Sieg or other agrarians. . It may be assumed that this will be the line of argument fol lowed by tfie opponents of the bill, for the comment of the press this week, when in sympathy with the agrarians, almost entirely consists of a reitera tion of the charge, which one paper puts tersely, that "this American meat, which Germans are expected to eat has 'been found by the highest American investigation commission unhealthy and even deadly to America's own army ot strong, lusty men." It is out of thefluestion that the bill can pass in its present shape and it is merely a question as to how much it can be altered without becoming unac ceptable to the government. Its op ponents wish, above all, the following changes: The abolishment of the pro vision making a double inspection com pulsory, even on cattle slaughtered for domestic use; to put foreign meat on the same footing as domestic meat- in the matter of inspection; to take the execution of the provision of the bill out of the hands of the bundesrath and fix it bindingly in the bill, in order, as one speaker said, to "remove it from the -diplomatic field with foreign, coun tries. If its opponents accomplish this, as seems to be likely, the bill will be unacceptable to the government, and will undoubtedly lead to a tariff war with the United States. The above statements are the result of the inquiries made on the subject by the "correspondent here of The As sociated Press, i An American 'expert, who is in the confidence of the "Washing-ton admin istration and who is now here, said, bluntly: "If Germany passes a law re quiring, in addition to the American official certificates of the healthy condi tion of our export meats, which are as reliable as the German certificates, a double inspection after the arrival of the meat here, that will be tantamount to a prohibition against American meat and such action, will doubtless be an--swered by retaliation on German ex ports to the U-ited States. Every bot tle of German wine will be opened and its hygienic qualities test d. A significant point of the speech of the minister of ' the interior, Count Po-sadowsky-Wehner, was that the bill was intended by the government as a "transitory measure until Germany produces enough meat for her own people, which, it is believed, will not take long." The excitement over the Samoan sit uation ha3 almost died out and the gen eral expectation is that all the points at variance will -ov be amicably and fairly adjusted by the special commis sion. Some of the leading papers, in their desire for fairness, even afint communications from members of the British mission at Samoa, controvert ing some of the statements of Dr. Raf fel, the German president of the muni cipal council at Apia, regarding the relation of Tanus and Chief Justice Chambers with the missionaries. The corrspondent here of The Asso sociated Tress learns from the best MEATS source that while the sate department at Washington has, from time to time, instructed the United States embassy to present the American view of the differences which have arisen on the subject of the most favored nation clause in the commercial treaties, formal instructions have not been re ceived at the Berlin embassy looking to the negotiation for an entirely new reciprocity treaty. GERMANS IN MANILA VERY FRIENDLY. Letters recording the excellent rela- pmes islands have reached here from official quarters. Prince Henry, of Prussia, it appears, wrote to Admiral Dewey, "pleasantly and conciliatori ly," and when the Irene returned from Iloilo Admiral Dewey placed meat from the American stores at her com mander's disposal, , and the Kaiserin Augusta received American meat, ice and coal. At Hong Kong, it is added, the Monterey and Baltimore crews cordially associated with those of the German snips. A number of similar instances are mentioned. CiEIJJlAN t ityi PLAINTS Of Treatment of Tlieir People by the IZrltUli Force In Samoa Berlin, April 22. The, Lokal Anzeig. er today publishes two letters from Sa- . moa, dated March 23rd. One of them Is from its special correspondent at Apia, Herr von Wolffersdorff, and the other from Herr Marquardt, a promi- j nent German resident of Apia, who, under Tamasese, was military instruc- j tor and, later, under Mataafa and the j provisional government, was justice of ; the peace until he resigned on the de parture of Dr. Raffel, the German pres- j ident of the municipal government of Apia. I From Herr Marquardt's letter it ap pears that it was he, and not Herr Huf nagel, who was arrested by Captain Sturdee, commander of the British warship Porpoise, for bearing arms against the 'British sailors. He says, he was 'taken on board the Porpoise where, he claims, he was grossly insult- ed by Captain Sturdee, and that after ; fourteen hours' captivity, during which ! no proof against him was advanced, tie"- was transferred to the German war ship Falke, but with the condition that he was not to leave her. Herr Mar quardt asserts that his property was stolen and destoyed by Malietoa Tanus' hosts and that millions of other Ger man property were likewise destroyed. The writer then asks who will pay the damages? Herr von Wolffersdorff asserts that the British consul, Mr. Maxse, and Cap tain Sturdee are both guilty of the grossest conduct in exceeding their treaty powers. He claims they treated the Germans like captives and contin ued an almost incessant shelling of German houses under various pretexts. He adds that the most intense indigna tion prevailed among the Samoan Ger mans against the British excesses. Otherwise, Herr von Wolffersdorff re- port agrees wuu, me utnuau reports. j ; 111! vctmt-imi uiouiwuus , sannai, r,9 Anrii 22.-Thomis ; T t of Captain Davis, H. Ashley, Thomas F.

Goodltecord of thePtrst North Carolina Savannah, Ga. April 22. The First North Carolina regiment, Colonel J. F. Armfield, was mustered out this morn ing. It is understood that the enlist ed men will make their; officers-presents when they reach home. The feeling between the rank and file in this regi ment is very cordial. The only incident in the muster-out was the sending of a silver service to Governor Russell. The men received on an average of $90. They were paid in gold. An officer of the regiment stated that not one of the men v had been given adishonorable discharge. - HALF A MILLION CIGARS 31 an u facta red by the stamp Cuuter-j fetter Jacobs Seized by GorernmenC - Officer Washington, April 22. The internal! revenue bureau has so far been notifi-l ed of the discovery of over 500,000 . cigars manufactured by Jacobs at Lan-f , caster, Pa., and bearing counterfeit i stamps.

The proceeds -will be turned into the treasury. What Velief, if any, will be extended to innocent purchasers of the Jacobs cigars has not yet been de termined. New Orleans, April 22. General E. L. Sour, collector of internal revenue today, seized between 35,000 and 40,000 cigars on the ground that the boxes were sealed with fraudulent revenue stamps. 'The cigars, he says, were manufactured at factory No. 3,741, dis trict 9, Lancaster, , Pa. These seizures are coincident with like seizures made in Chicago, Cincinnati and San Fran cisco, v Providence, R. I., April 22. About 4,000 cigars were seized by revenue of ,cers here from one concern today on the claim that the boxes bore bogus 'revenue stamps. The alleged proprie tor of the factory, William Jacobs, is under arrest in Pennsylvania, on a charge of counterfeiting. Montgomery, Ala., April 22. Revenue officials today seized 21,000 cigars in : Montgomery on account of fraudulent : stamps. The factory name is not known. Charlotte, N. C, April 22.

A 1,1 FK FOIlA LIFE NegroewAgree to Kill a White Ulan Every Time One of Their Race Is Lynched Charleston, S. C, April 22. An out : come of the Greenwood county negro ; lynchings is reported from the adjoin- ing county, Saluda. The negroes of Richardsville, where they are very nu merous, have determined to prevent negro lynchings and white-cappings, and the plan adopted is to murder a white man or burn the home of a white man for every negro that is lynched . or whipped. They are said to Tiave banded themselves together for this : purpose, led on, by Peterson, a negro i preacher, who hails from Greenwood ! and who inflames the passions of his flock by constant repetitions of the j Phoenix slaughter of negroes and oth ' er "outrages inflicted upon our race." The story comes from alleged good . authority, though the name of the in ; formant is not given. It will be thor : oughly investigated by the people of Saluda" Court House. No action has as yet been taken by the whites, as the i expose has just been made. THE SLOOP DRAGOON From New York to Savannah, Puts In at Oeanfort (Special to The Messenger.) , Beaufort, N.

Beyond the enunciation of a stringent line of ac tion against contumacious witnesses and the preparation to make a speedy example of one individual, today's ses sions of the Mazet investigation com mittee were comparatively uninterest ing and unimportant. Neither Mr. aot the better taown persons associated witn nyn was ex amined and the affairs of the Tam many leader did not come into promi nence. After one more session on Mon day it is announced the committee will adjourn until May 9thf and in the in terval, it is presumed, they will sub mit a preliminary report to the legis lature, and, possibly, proceed against several witnesses for contempt.

R. R. Bellamy. r , BET WITH ISO TAKEitS On Supreme Court Decldlus Office Ca In Favor of FutionUu-lie port o Last Year' Insurance BatloeM (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N..C, April 22. The Bap tist board of state missions has elect ed Rev. A. C. Brown, of Asheville, gen eral missionary for western North Carolina. Bid3 are offered here at odds of two to one, with no takers, that the decis ion of the supreme court will be ad verse to E. C. Beddingfield, for place on the corporation commission; to Jas. A. Bryan for presidency of the Atlan tic and North Carolina railway, and to Cherry, of Edgecombe, for keeper of the capitol. It was argued today before the court by MacRae, counsel for Patrick in the Atlantic and North Carolina railway case that the case of Hoke vs. Hender son completely covered it. It is ascertained from Bellamy him self that Oliver Dockery's effort against John I. Bellamy is not for the latter's seat, but to have the house of representatives set the election aside and declare there was no election at all. The Connecticut Mutual Life Insur ance Company, which has done busi ness in North Carolina since 1S65, will withdraw May 31st, because it does not believe justice to its policy holders will permit it to accept the provisions of the "Craig" bill. This is the bill which requires all corporations doing busi ness in North Carolina 'to surrender all right to transfer cases from state to federal courts. The report of last year's insurance business in North Carolina, made to day, shows in fire companies,' risks written $61,544,000, losses paid $470,000, premiums received $1,006,774; life com panies, risks written $17,136,000, losses paid $532,000, premiums received $1,576, 500; accident and surety companies, risks written $18,416,000, losses paid $20, 400, premiums received $67,197.

Manila. April 22. General Lawton took the field at day break" today, with a column of troops consisting of the North Daskota regiment, two battal the Twen- ions of, the Third infantry, ty-seeond infantry, two guns of Scott's battery three troops of the Fourth cavalry and Gales squadron, equipped in light marching order. This fore-? started' at 5 o'clock this morning over the Novaliches road, traversing the country previously cleared of the rebels, but subsequently re-occupied by them. It is to be presumed that Gen eral Lawton, by this movement, will outflank the enemy before joining Gen eral MacArthur north of Malolos. The Dakota regiment first encountered the enemy in front of Novaliches at S:15 o'clock a. m. The rebels opened fire on our troops, bucHheir fire was silenc ed fifteen minutes later, the enemy re tiring in bad order and the Americans advancing along the rough roads about Novaliches. They were considerably annoyed by the fire of the rebel sharp shooters from the jungle for two hours. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the rebels were in full flight, leaving many dead on the field and our troop? were compelled to take a brief rest in the shade, as the heat was overpowering. PHILIPPINOS REFUSE TO RE CEIVE FLAG OF TRUCE. . Manila. April s 23.-11:20 a. m. Col onel Remie and Major Lassaras, the Spanish commissioners, with their sec retaries, attempted to enter the rebel lines yesterday.. to confer with Aguin aldo regarding an exchange of prison ers, but failed in their mission. The party, the members of which were at tired in full uniform, drove to the American camp and lunched with Gen eral MacArthur. Then then proceeded in a carriage under a flag of truce, to ward Calumpit, but were stopped by the rebel" outpost on the road, who as sumed a menacing attitude and re fused to parley with the commission ers. The latter were Compelled to re turn and took the evening train for Manila. The rebels before Calumpit have re cently been reinforced by bodies of men j from the Pampanga province and are i now well intrenched in the strongest I position, on what is practically m is- ! land formed by a tributary to the Rio Grande. TO AID SUANISH TROOPS AT BALER. Madrid, April 22. At today's cabinet meeting the ministers considered the situation of the gatrjson defending Ba ler, in the island of Luzon, and it is j was decided to instruct General Rios, Spain's principal commander in the Philippines, to request Major General Otis, the American" commander, to per- mit the Spanish troops still at Manila to go to the aid of the beleagured. A NEW FLYING SQUADRON. Washington, April 22. The war de partment today received a cablegram from General Otis announcing the for- j matlon of a new flying column under i command of General Lawton and the ' initiation of a new campaign, which is expected to result in clearing out the jungle in the country north of Ma- nila up to the foothills of the moun- tains on the northeast and up to the termination of the railroad at Bulacan. The text of the dispatch was not made public, but it is understood to agree closely with the account of the move ments contained in the Associated Press dispatches from' Manila. NO NEWS FROM THE YORKTOWN PRISONERS. No word has come to the navy de- i partment since last Tuesday relative to the fate of Lieutenant'Gilmore and the fourteen sailors of the Yorktown, who were ambushed and captured at Baler, on the island of Luzon. Today Secre- j tary Long addressed an inquiry 'by ca- hie to Admiral Dewey, to ascertain whether he could supply any lsrther refrained from making public his plans to prevent the insurgents from taking advantage of the information to con ceal their captives. The arrival of the Yorktown at Manila has not yet been reported to the navy department, and it is not known whether or not she sail ed from Iloilo, where she reported by cable the bad news to Admiral Dewey, or whether Commander S perry put back from Iloilo for Baler after having secured reinforcements or additional boats. Washington, April 22. A cabinet of ficer is authority for an absolute de- j nIal Cf the story that the cabinet yes- terday discussed an alleged conspira cy in this country to weaken the Unit ed States in the Philippines. Secretary Long, in answer to a direct inquiry, said that specifically and cogently the statement was erroneous that the cab inethad been charging any person or set of persons in the United States with treason. That was as far as he cared to make any statement. Inquiry . develops that the probable oasis ior me story is some exchanges f of opinions that have been taking place not only amonfir the cabinet ofneent of the peace treaty -to the senate for its action, to the creneral effect that the' delays that were being Interposed ADVANCE A t to spredy action upon the treat werr harmful. It was pall that grvat en couragement had been giwn t- Agui naldo by the attitude of the opponents of the president's policy among Amert- 1 can public men. But, after all, thin was notning more man was saiu open ly on the floor of the senate during the consideration of the treaty, and the chargv was' the basis of some bitter personal cxchange3 between senator.. ince the conclusion of the peace ne gotiations and the exchange of ratlfl cations there have also bnn some ex pressions on the part of the adherents of the president's policy as to the HI effect upon the public an 1 th soldier not actually at the front of frequent publication of letters from dissatlf Med volunteers in the Philippine. It may be said that the vxpressions were rath er in the nature of regrets than of complaiyts, but, as summed up by a cabinet '!!ictr, there has be-n no dis position to attach personal blame t individuals, but rather to note radical difference of opinion. SOME UGLY TRUTHS. The German ambassador, Ir. Holleben, called on Secretary Hay to day, which led to reports that "the at tention of the state department had been called to the remarku of Captain Coghlan, of the crutetx Raleigh, at a New York banquet Inst night, relating his personal observations of a rebuke and threat administered by Admiral Dewey to th? German naval command ers at Manila. It was stated positive ly, however.that no protect or represen tations were made, as it is understood to bj the German view that this is a matter in which the authorities here should be left to take the initiative. At the same time it is known that Captain Coghlan's remarks caused considerable displeasure in rdg<f C3&mi na val quarters, mainly because they are contrary to the policy which the two governments have adopted of giving as little public expression as possible to the friction which may have incur red at Manila. In naval quarters there is a disposi tion to regard Captain Coghlan's statements as giving some rather ugly truths, which have heretofore been glossed over on grounds of public poli cy. The responsible naval officials have, however, shared the policy of minimizing the frictions at Manila. But in the present case, owing to Captain Coghlan's splendid services, they are not disposed to h; captious in their criticism of his utterances.

The llrc-r Court Washington. April 22. Th. Wade court of inquiry held a brief oj n ses sion today to listen to the reading of depositions and to take the testimony of Major Games M. Lancaster, of the Fourth actlllery. Major Lancaster said ' that while his command wis in Porto I Rico they ato only native beef, and that it was relished. He expressed the opinion that live cattle could have been lanaeu at Daiquiri, basing this opln- ion upon the fact that whib t n.ii. quiri he landed 700 horses. He thought 400 or 500 cattle could have ben land ed within twenty-four hours. The depositions read wcr- from Al exander Powell, the ownr-r of the Pow ell process for preserving mMt. and Earl D.
