IHE SAMOA ISLANDS.

The British Consul on His Way Home 60
Lay the German ARgressiOnE Before
HIs Government.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 27.-Captain W.
b. Chmchward, British Consul at Samoa,
has left here for London to lay before the
government the account Of the German ag-
gressions.in in Samoa. He says that Mullin
Point in the city Of Apia, the seat Of the
Samoan government for many years, came
recently into the hands of Mr.. Weber, form
erly a German Consul, and the head of the
leading firm at Samoa, Notice was given 10
the Government to remove, and though Mr.
Weber was offered a price previously agreed
upon for the land, he refused 10 accept it,
and the Samoan government was compelled
TO remove their residence 10 another part Of
Apia.
AT this place the King hOisted the Samoan
flag Subsequently,, ON a preteXt Of an in
suit 10 the German flag, the German Consul
forbade the King 60 display his flag within
the principality of Apia. Going personally
20 the King he commanded him 60 pull the
flag down The Consul then went on board
the German gun.b boat Alb0lrOsR brought a
party Of armed sailors ashore ana i0rCibiy
and against the protests of the American
and British COnsuls, pulled down the flag
Two Samoan high chiefs went TO New
Zealand to seek sympathy IN their troubles,
and from their stories the reports of German
annexation Of Samoa probably arose.

SERIOUS FLOODS.

Immense Fields of Wheat and Orchards
of Fruit Ruined by Recent OvernOws in
the San joaquin valley.
STOCKTON, Cal, Jan. 27.-The San Joaquin
river has been gradually rising for tine past
week Sundaya portion OF the city proper,
comprising one-Hfth Of its area, was COW
cred with water Little damage, however,
ensued. The business portion OF the city
was not affected in any way. Later
the Mass tract comprising about three
thousand acres of wheat was flooded
by the givingway of HOod-gate, The edam-
age is estimated at about S75,-
600. The water about Roberts ISL
and, which is protected by levaes,
rose nine feet above the level Of
the land. The pressure was too great for
the levees to withstand, aud a break oc.
CURED through which the water rushed and
soon converted thirteen thousand acres of
wheat and orchards into a miniature
lake. The damage here is estimated
at S35OOOO. Roberts island is
divided into three divisions with cross
levees. The break occurred in the middle
division. Fears are now entertained that
the crOss-levees which divide the upper aud
lower portion from the middle section of
the island may give way, If the middle
section is not soon repaired there is little
hope OF stopping the break for a week.
though most strenuous efforts are being
made to do so.

Richmond Society Upset.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Baltimore An.ericaa giyes the following
reason for Mrs, Cleveland's sudden change
of mind about visiting Richmond. One
day the Richmond papers were exstatic
over the remark of Mrs. Cleveland that
she wonld not miss being in Richmond fer
anything on the occasion Of the fair. The
State congratulated itself and the country
that The wife of one President, Mrs.
Clevelandl, the widow Of another. MRS.
Tyler, the daughter of another. (the
daughter of Jefferson Davis), and the wife
of prospective President, (Mrs. Gov.
Lee). would all receive guests at the
Gubernatoral mansion. The other day the
announcement was made that Mrs. Cleye-
land would not be there, and no reason
was assigned for it. This turned Rich
mond society topsy-turyy, and hence the
following dispatch, dated the GOTH
Richmond society is terribly upset over
the unexpected declination of Mrs. Cleye-
land and the ladies of the cabinet to ac-
company the President on his trip here,
especially as it was announced from the
White House two days ago that Mrs.
Cleveland would certainly come.
Mrs. ex-President Tyler had been in
yited to be present at the Governors man
sion tomorrow to assist Mrs. Cleveland,
Mrs. Lee and Miss Davis in the public re-
ception. The public is mystified and sem
sitive about the matter. They seem to
suspect that Mrs. Cleveland 3 sudden hack
down was caused by her Discrimination to
receive with the daughter of Jefferson
Davis, and they are very sore oyer it.
Miss Winnie Davis. who has been spend
ing month here, has been the recipient
of every attention. She is idolized by the
people. Many think that the Presidents
declination to receive at the Governors.
or the change of Mrs. Cleveland S mind in
visiting Richmond, grows out OF the fact
that the President fears 1T might compli
cate his candidacy for the Presidency in
1888. The bloody shutters might use the
fact that the President and the daughter
OF the head of the Confederate govern
ment were guests under the same roof to
his disadvantage
