10 Makes . Vigorous Kick Against t1s0
Restoration Of Malictos - King Of ss-
mos. but the American Commissioners
Display Such FIrmness That He Finally
Consents - The Question of Indemnity
Now Causing . Hitch In tho Conference.
BERLIN, May 22.-From certain indica-
hons at the rooms OF the American dele
rates. az well as at the quarters Of the En-
glish commissioners and at the German for
eign office, 1t ID evident that there Is some
serious hitch In the negotiations of tho
Samoan commission Mr.. Phelps, who II
known ~ tho peace -maker,' both In
the conference and In the working
committee, is in evident trouble.
When asked NJ to the situation Commits
sOners Phelps. Kasson and Bates say that
there is no great change, and that every
thing Is progressing satisfactorily. Both
the German and English commissioners re-
fuse to talk on the subject, but it is learned
from other sources that the United States
Government has instructed its commission
ors to insist upon the return Of MalietOa as
King.
A message is said to have been received
from Secretary Blaine within the last
thirty six hours directing the commission
ers to insist upon the restoration of the
5t0OuO YuOs 0A0 osy lnS UA0O oOAsA0ASy
deposed Malietca as King and must
return him as King They may hagRle
about indemnity or q unit or dual or
tripartite government IL they please,
but Malietoa must be King While tho
Germans have come to agree with ali the
other views Of the American commissioners
they are reluctant to accept this condition,
and point to the fact that Malietoa was par
doned by the German Emperor at the begin
ming OF the conference. This. they claim,
should satisfy America
LONDON, May 22-It Is reported that
Germany has finally consented to restore
King Malietoa This action was taken
finally after prolonged and persistent Of
forts on the part of the American commits
siOncrs.
But now comes another hitch in the nego-
tiations The fresh difficulty grows out OF
the claim for indemnity made by Germany.
The American section of the conference
holds that il any indemnity is paid it must
be merely nominal sum. Germany, on the
contrary, maintains that in the conflicts
between the German forces and the Sa-
means the latter were invariably tho
aggressors Besides, the native partisans
of King MalietOa were guilty of the
barbarous practices Of beheading German
sailors. as well as infiicting upon the
wounded particular cruelties. These acts,
Germany insists, should entail upon Samoa
the payment of special indemnity. Earnest
efforts are making In committee to settle
the dispute, but the matter is likely to re-
quire . reference to the plenary con-
ference.
LONDON. May The Posts Berlin corre-
spondent Gays that the chief points Of the
final protocol of the Samoan conference
are: First. that the government Of Samoa
be arranged upon trlpartite basis, En-
gland being accorded position similar to
that Of arbitrator. The second point Of i'm
portance is that dealing with land COM
