THE BRADF1ELD REGULATOR CO. ATI A VTA riA Send for our free Illustrated book, "betore baby is born." Trouble Abend, if This is True. Seattle, Wash., April 20.?A Times special from Victoria, B. C., says that the steamer Aorangi, from Australia, brings advices that the commander of the German man-of-war Falke, at Samoa, has been arrested by the British and is now hold a prisoner on the vessel Porpoise. He was surprised by a squad of British sailors handing arms and ammunition to Mataafa's men. The re port was brought to Australia by the passengers on the steamer Upola. After the arrest of the Falke's commander a eonfer?ne.e u?a i held between Capt. Sturdee and i Admiral Kant/, and the Porpoise and Philadelphia steamed into a I position on either side of the! Falke. Orders were then sent aboard that if she made a move of any kind she would be blown out of the water. No one is allowed to go aboard or leave the German ship of war without per mission, written and signed by either Capt. Sturdee of the Porpoise or Admiral Kautz. Fighting continues between the forces of Mataafa and Tanus. Bush fights with slight loss are daily occurences, and business is practically at a standstill. There is considerable sickness among the seamen of the Porpoise and and Philadelphia. Throe of the Porpoise's crew died from fever. Lieut. Garnet of the Porpoise is among the sick. Mataafa's cause is waning. THE PROBABLE OK Hi IN. San Francisco, April 20.?The mail advices received here by the Associated I'ress on April 17th, from Apia, Samoa, and dated Maich 24, told of a little incident which occurred just before the bombardment by the American and British war ships commenced. The German man of war was about to leave the harbor on some mysterious mission when Admiral Kautz signalled her to return and take care of the German residents, as the bombardment of the city by the American and British was about to commence. The German returned to her position and during the shelling of the vicinity took on board many German residents. This incident, combined with the arrest of a prominent German planter fcr aiding the rebels, is, perhaps, the one referred to in the Victoria advices of to-day and in some manner misconstrued by the passengers on the Aorangi, who were evidently led to bo lieve that the commander of the Falke has been made a prisoner and that his vessel was in danger of being blown out of the water by the British and American war vessels if he made any suspicious move. I1ERK IT IS AGAIN. St. Paul, April 20.?A Winnipeg, Man., special to The Dispatch says : A special dispatch to The Free Press from Victoria, B. <J., says : The steamer Aorangi, from Australia, bring9 news of the arrest ot the commander of the German warship Falke, at Apia, tor supplying aims to Mataafa. The arrest was made by the British commander. It is believed here that the dispatch from Apia relers to the arrest of the German planter upon whose plantation the British and American forces were ambushed, hut the dispatch as received at v ictoriH reads "commander of the German warship Falke." REGARDED A8 ABSl'RD. Washington, April 20.?The statement that the commander of the German cruiser Falke had been arrested at Apia by the British naval commander was at once scouted by the officials to whom it was referred here. Both Secretary Hay and Secretary Long expr-ssed their disbelief in the accuracy of the report. Attention was directed to the fact that the navy department had heard from Admiral Kautz by cable from Auckland at a later date than that upon which the steamer just arrived at Victoria 5?

Admiral Kautz'a dispatch was dated Apia, April 4, and it was forwarded from the nearest cable station?Auckland?April 12. It is regardek as extremely unlikely that a steamer could have made the trip from Apia to Victoria since April 4. It is suggested, as an explanation of the story, that the steamer's crew had heard of the arrest of the German manager of the plantation where the American and Briliah sailors were ambushed, aud of his being taken aboard the British warships, and had jumped at the conclusion that the person arrested was the German commander. It is pointed out in official quarters that the arrest of the c? mmander of one warship by the commander of another ship is an absurdity, and, moreover, cable advices have reached the embassy much later than those which a steamer could have brought to British Columbia, and no such action was disclosed. The British embassy is also without any infor raatioa of such an occurrence. A Well Managed. Dispensary. L. W. Boykin, State Dispensary Inspector, was here yesterday and examined the dispensary.
