Details of tho Recent Outbreak In Samoa
-Msltetoa. tho Doposed King, Success.
full In = Sortie Against Tamascse.
SAN Francisco, Oct 1.-The steamer
Zealadia, which has arrived here from
Sydney and Auckland, brings additional
information of the recent fighting at Samoa
between the forces of Tamasese on the one
hand and Malietoa, the deposed King, on
the other. Tamasese' men were defeat
ed. A correspondent writes from Apia
that the battle-ground was in and around
that city, and that several weeks before
fighting commenced Tamasesc's forces had
built forts and formidable entertainments,
which were manned by over 1000 men.
September ~ Malietoa's forces charged up
on these work 8, and in less than two hours
Tamasesc had been driven into tho sea,
where his men took refuge upon RATS and
finally got away in boats During the
fight Captain Bissel, an Englishman liv-
ing at Matuak, near Apia, was shot
and killed. He was not engaged in
the battle at all, and the shooting
is believed to have been accidental: Ser
geant Fort was at Matafagatili, one and q
half miles from Apia This fort, with
others, was successfully carried by
the Malietoa party, and the occu-
pants were driven into the sea- The cor

now at Nahum under the protection Of
the German soldiers. Before the attack
was made the Malietoa party sent word to
the foreign Consuls asking if they desired
to leave the neutral territory established
for their safety. The British and United
States Consuls were agreeable to this
arrangement, but it is understood the
German Consul refused to leave the neu-
trail territory. Tamasese's flag is flying at
Milinun, and it is believed Malietoa will
attack that place if the flag is not taken
down. The correspondent does not state
how many lives were lost during the fight,
but other advices place the number at 400.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l.-When the two

history. The longest preceding session
was that of 1850. the year of the
Missouri compromise, which was adj

lively, the session of 1853, following the
impeachment proceedings against Presi-

BUFFALO L1rHrA SPRINGS, June

BUFFALO L1TH1A SPRINGS, June %.
lfessrs. Editors AS am out of anything
to do, and almost out of the world, I will
weary you as long as it takes to read this
letter. In the first place must thank the
Rev. DR.. Frierson for his kind advice
which brought me to this place. AS you
are aware, I have been in very bad health
since March, and for one month confined to
my bed.
This place reminds me little of Sandy
Springs Camp Ground. The hotel is
very common strpcture-in fact, it is no
hotel at all. 1t consists of waiting.room,
a ballroom, q parlor and an Office. On
the East side is the cook and dining-room;
then little West of these buildings is the
old Spring No. l, surrounded by very large
hickory trees, all that is left of the native
forest; then on oil four sides are little
double cabins, sufficient to accommodate
about two hundred guests two to the
room. In front of these cabins are rows
of shade trees, such as black locust, cedar,
sycamore and red elm, and large majority
of them indicate great age-in fact, the
cabins look to have been here for hun
dred years or moro. There are no i'm
provements going on. l guess they won't
improve in the future, as the proprietor
don't care to have boarders. Lis sales of
water amount to about sixty thousand
dollars annually. Spring No. 2, which is
the main one for Iithia, is about one hun
dred yards up the Little Buffalo Creek, and
is just in the centre of where few years
ago stood mill dam, and from this Dam
Spring is shipped every day, the year
round, from three to six hundred gallons
of water. A man can drink q quart at q
time and feel no inconvenience. have at
different times seen young man drink
half gallon in five minutes, and every day
drinks two gallons.
This p lace is thirteen miles from the
R. g. D. r. R., and the roughest road I
ever travelled. was so feeble that it took
five hours 10 make the trip, but I think
now could make it In half the time. On
the way I crossed Dan River. 1t looks
very much like the Savannah, The same
size and color. There are other Lithia
Springs being opened up in the adjoining
Counties, which are making quite repu-
tation. Some of these expect to visit.
