THE SAMOAN TsI.ANDa.
Civil psrturbalions in the samoan
Islands have, daring the past tWO years,
been q source Of considerable embar-
rassment 80 the three gOVeEamenta, Ger.
many, Great Britain aud the Uaiiad
States, whose relations and extra terrific
raj rights IN that Important group are
guaranteed By treaties. The weakness
Of she native administration and the
conflict Of opposing Interests 10 the
Ialands have led King Malifioa 10 seek
an alliance or protsotion In some one
Qnarter regardless Of the distinct en-
Ragements whereby no one Of tbs three
treaty powers nay acquire any para
mount or exclusive poser. Malile0a
offered 20 place samoa under the pro
tectiOn Of the United States and the late
Consul, without authority, assumed to
accept Il. The proceeding was promptly
disaV0Wed and the over zsal0ns ofheial
was recalled. Special agents OF ths
three governments have been depated
20 examine the sta 4tiOn on the Islaa1 1a.
With q change IN the representation o.
all three pJWers and q harm JRiaui

peace, prosperity, autonimous admins

hardly fail 20 b secneod.
