How the Germans are Provoking HOSTILE

How the Germans are Provoking Hostili-
ties i'm the South Sea Isles.
WASHINGTON, January IL -Consul.Gen-
eral Sewall OF Samoa, who has been home
several months, appeared before the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations. Gen.
eral Sewall was examined in secret at great
length, and is reported to have expressed
the belief that the next mail will bring
news OF further and more terrible conflicts
between the Germans and the natives; that
the shedding OF blood since he left Samoa
had radically changed the situation, and
that unless it was intended to yield to
Germany the entire control Of the islands,
some decided action would have to be
taken by the powers.
He presented to the committee copies OF
the Samoa "Times," published at Apia,
containing accounts Of the unprovoked and
n~nexpected
ATTACK BY THE GERMAN WAR SHIP
upon the natives, and of the meeting by the
consuls oil other nations ~denouncing the
act; and also OF the misleading and unfair
statemeut by the German Consul. Sewall
spoke OF the studied and systematic efforts
OF the Germans in sending out news from
Berlin, concerning Samoa. to give the i'm.
preston that America was the aggressor in
every cause OF the trouble. German op.
preston is further said TO be entirely re-
sponsible for any apparent division OF the
natives into hostile factions.
He described Tamasese's followers as
comparatively a handful, who were threat.
ened by this unpleasant dilemma. Ii they
failed to keep up the agitation against the
native government, they feared death at
the hands of their German allies; il they
escaped, the same fate awaited them at
the hands Of the natives, who considered
them traitors to Samoa.

and their followers OF the deposed Kin.
