The Trouble In samoa.
San Francisco, April A--The ac-
counts concerning Steinberger's trouble
in Samoa are very conflicting. Addi-
tional private letters received by the
Ada Lay, and tho statements OF passen-
gers by that vessel, are to the effect
after Steinberger's arrest, deposed the
King, banishcd him to ncigh hboring
island, and demanded Steinbergcr's re-
lease. This was refused. and the British
man -of-war Barracuda brought the
King back to the capital, but tho people
declined to acknowledge him. ..
1t is reported that the people earnest
ly desired the release or the Premier.
and were anxiously looking for the ar
rival OF the United States steamer Tus-
carora to effect that purpose. The per-
sonal property OF Steinberger had been
sold, tho principal purchasers being the
officers OF the Barracouta. The steam
launch presented to the government of
Samoa by the United States was in
cluded in the sale. 1t Is stated also that
the English residents OF the island de-
sire the annexation Of Samoa.

hands OF the latter.

Samoan trade, to be bankers OF the
Government and issue paper currency

transactions between the firm and the
