Be Careful
No woman can be too careful of
fcer condition during the period before
her little ones are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endangers
her life and that of the child. It
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.

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

must have sailed from Apia on
her long eastward voyage. 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.
