The Germau Democrat, published in San Francisco has received a letter from one of the chief Germau officials at Samoa, which is iuterestiug as giving the Germau views of the complications at Apia. The correspondent writes that with all the shooting that has been done not u single Matuafan had been killed or wounded and that the Matnnfans and United States supreme court, retired, died at Washington early Sunday morning. He had been in rather poor health for several weeks, but was not confined to his bed but a little more than a week prior to the end. .Tustiee Field's retirement from the supreme court bench occurred December 1, 1897, and Attorney General McKenna, of California, shortly afterwards was nominated to succeed him. During his incumbency lie said he alone had written (>20 opinions which, with f>7 in the circuit court, and 3(>f> in the California supreme court, made up a total of 1,012 eases decided by him in his life, lie took issue with the styling of the court us an aristocratic feature of a republican government, and said it is the most democratic of all. "It carries," lie wrote, "neither the purse nor the sword, but it possesses the power of declaring the law, and in that is found the safeguard which keeps the whole mighty fabric of gov eminent from rushing to destruction."

Solicitor General Osborne may communicate with the governor before taking further steps in the case. Germans have apparently uo respect for the lighting ability of the American and British sailors. The Mataafaus are auxious for the allied forces to come out and light in the open, where they, with their native implements of war, will have a chance against the modern weapons used by the Americans. The writer Rays that Admiral Kautz gpve no warning of the bombardment, and that when it commenced he thought a salute had been fired. According to the correspondent, British Consul Maxse is greatly blamed for the trouble and there seems to he an inclination among the Germans to hold tho British responsible for tho war instead of the Americans. The German commander of tho Falke, in addition to receiving on board the women and children of his own nationality, extended to American and English women and children the hospitality of his ship, which was greatly crowded. The Gormau correspondent says that Admiral Kautz thanked the Germans for their courtesy by shelling the German consulate. The admiral later attributed tho firing 011 the consulate to poor ammunition. The writer says that stores are being openly plundered by tho Mataufans and the English cannot stop it. On March 24 th Matanfa seut word to Admiral Kautz that ho would stop fighting if the whites would let him alone. The admiral replied that ho would capture Mataafa uud hang him. The English are very much incensed against German Consul llose, and Captain Sturdee wants to proceed against liim a? n spy. According to the Oeru'au writer the only cure for the trouble will be the Rending of new consuls ami new commanders, who will act in harmony. According to a dispatch from Washington the German ambassador, Dr. Von Holleben, called on Secretary Hay Monday and went over tho Samoau question quite fully! Tho ambassador expressed the wishes of the German government to have the commission begin its work at the earliest possible moment, in order that the pending difficulties may be overcome. Tho German position, as made known by the ambnssador, while not a protest, at the same time questions the course of Admiral Kautz. There is no disposition on tho part of the German authorities to repudiate ilerr Hose's course. The IvautzUose incident, it is said, in the highest quarters, official and diplomatic, will be quite immaterial in aflectiug the settlement under the high commission. The Hritish ambassador, Sir Julian Puuncefote, also conferred with Secretary Hay on Satnoan affairs. The president has selected Hartlett Tripp, of South Dakota, formerly minister to Austria, as the United Statis representative on the Samoau joint commission. JUSTICK'FIEId) PASSES AWAY. Itctiretl Over a Yi'ar Aro ? A I.our And eventful Career. Justice Stephen J. Field, of the ' II DM Uf INCENDIARIES THIRTEEN PEOPLE DIED FOR THE REVENUE OF ONE. CAUSE OF NEW YORK'S LATEST FIRE De*t ruction of Andrew*' and Adam*' Huildcncpi Fired to Knconipn** the Death of .Servant. A New York special says: Despite retieeuee on the part of the police, facta became public Saturday which make it appear that the fire which last Friday destroyed thirteen persons was of incendiary origin. It transpired that a few hours before theflameB were seen a policeman was sent for from the Andrews house, and was mysteriously dismissed l>y a servant, who said he was not wanted. Letters threatening the lives of the Andrews family and the children of Mrs. St. John were found. It is bolieved that the motive for incendiarism was revenge, and that the alVuir arose out of a quarrel between tlio servants. Foley, the butler in the Andrews family, is under surveillance, and the police are hard ut work investigating the clews, which chiefly rest upon the anonymous letters. Mary Flannagan, the dead maid servant, seems to have been a central liguro in this alleged plot, and the chief object of the supposed perpetra'or's hate. The police have given out three scurrilous, threatening anonymous letters which had been sent to members of the Andrews household. One was addressod to the servant, Mary Flannagan. The letters made chnrges against Mary Flunnugan and the butler. In a letter addressed to Mrs. St. John, the writer said: "I hope you and Mrs. Andrews don't think for one moment that I am reconciled with Mary Flanungnn, for, indeed, I am not, and what is further, I will not be until I get my revenge. 1 feel that 1 have given warning enough, and I am going to fix her life, and because you and Mrs. Andrews did not give heed to warning, I am going to fix you too. I am going to make some one throw something in your nurse's and children's faces that will disfigure them and eat all the flesh ofl : the bones. This I will do for spite, because you did not let Mary go?as I told you to do. You had just as well let her go first as lust. You will have no girl ulive when I get through with her." l-iim-i-al of tin- Yit'liiiiii. The funeral services over the rej mains of the members of the family ol | Wallace C. Amlrews ami G. C. St. John, who ])erishc<l in the terrible tire, were hehl at the Fifth avenue home of the Andrews family Sunday afternoon. None but the very intimate friend? and relatives of the family were in attendance. The funernl oration was delivered by Professor Felix Adler, ol the Ethical Cultiue Society. There were no ceremonies save th< oration delivered by Professor Adler. Nor was there any music. All was plain and simple, in accordance witli the wishes of Mr. St. John. The pallbearers were: Russell Sage, Gen. Rurnett, Colonel Robert G. In gersoll, James W. Ilnwes, W. J. Hitchc6ck, C. E. Orvis, Mr. Williams, Senator T. C. Piatt, Horace A. Hutcliiiu and II. S. Ford.
