The Germans in samoA-EePIy TO a
German"
Ma. EDIToR: Some person ap-
parently unfamiliar with affairs IN
Samoa let's of a little ungentlemanIy
bile in the Saturdays issue Of the
Bulletin. Let NE tell that German,
and those who are liable TO be mis-
led by him, few things and ask
him few questions.
I am personally &c 4uainted with
Mr.Klein who IS not 2 renegade Ger
man but American born, an employee
Of the New York World, and a bright
specimen Of that brilliant genus homo,
the American newspaper reporter,
and long before he will hang to any
tree the real German renegade
Brandeis will probably be hung and
be beheaded by the Samoans, even
though he be supported and directed
in his rascally intrigues by German
officials.
The Germans make q great hue
and cry because Klein, an American,
Is supposed to have Joined the Pa
triOts in Samoa TO resist their
foreign invaders. Miserable babyish
squeali Does not 4 German
know that his government con
nived at the intrigues Of the long
Dutch handled" firm il Samoa and
In direct violation Of their Treaty
Tel \
! bv the nama of Braudeis TO lead
petty rebellion against the King, and
gave him moral and material aid?
! Then failing in this they broke faith
with the United States and England,
and against every principle Of justice
and international law deported the
| King and expstriated a number Of
! his Chiefs, setting up an ignorant
puppet as King. Then when the
Chiefs and the people rose up in
their dignity and resented the indig-
mites against them, and chose an
other Malietoa for King, and rebelled
/ against the wretched puppet set up
/ over them, again do German gun
| boats, violating every principle of
/ humanity, justice, christianity and
civilization, lombard their villages,
! siaughtering innocent women and
children, and destroying their homes.
Then in the height Of their
arrogance they attempt to land on
! territory on which they have no
moral right, and take sides with a
weak and wretched faction against
the patriots, firing a volley into
them and in return getting their just
deserts. The German consulate, the
'long Dutch handled firm Brandeis
the renegade, and German naval
officers, have been responsible for a
most deplorable series Of blunders
and outrages, and now comes "a
German" and bowls because an
America takes direct sides with the
patriots, while all of Christian
American and England look quietly
on in sympathy with the poor Ss-
means. Shades Of Hades and OF al
the South Sea pirates, can your rec
ords produce darker deeds than
these Is it not about time that
America and England joined hands
and did more than protest against
the prostitution Of ships Of an impe
rial navy to such piratical outrages
As Cor the Germans having the
largest interests in Samoa I car
only tell "a German" that could i'm
partial courts adjudicate upon land
titles there and force the ''long Dutch
handled firm" to relinquish every
square inch Of illegally acquired
(robbed) lands, Germans Interest,"
would dwindle away, while the
American 'Polynesian Land Co.,
, the English Macarthur and Corn
wall estates, and the numerous legi
innate holdings of Americans and
English would give them the promi
hence. Germany does but one-thirC
Of Samoa's trade, England anC
] America do the other two-thirds.
