OUR MAN AT APIA Admiral Kautz in Samoa Criticism of German Consul General
Admiral Albert Kautz commands American naval forces in Samoa and has drawn Navy Department embarrassment with letters to relatives that harshly criticise the German consul general. Kautz, an Annapolis graduate of 1858, joins a long wartime record from Forts Jackson and St Philip to New Orleans, where he lowered the Confederate flag and raised the U.S. banner. He became a commodore in 1897 and an admiral at the start of the Spanish American War. The Navy is expected to issue only a caution in response to his current political mania.
