Nh. EDITOR: Some person ap-
parently unfamiliar with affairs in
Samoa lets off little ungentlemanIy
bile in the Saturdays issue of the
Bulletin. Let me tell that German,
and those who are liable to be mis-
led. by him. a few things and ask
him a few questions.
am personally acquainted with
Mr.Klein who is not a renegade Ger
man but American born, an employee
of the New York World, and bright
specimen of that brilliant geaus 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 a 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

know that his government con
nived at the intrigues OF the long
Dutch handled" firm in Samoa and
in direct violation OF their Treaty
with King Malietoa permitted man
by the name OF Brandeis TO lead a
petty rebellion against the King, and
gave him moral and material add
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 expatriated 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 4IalietOa 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,
slaughtering 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
weak and wretched faction against
the patriots, firing & Yolley 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 howls because an
American takes direct sides with the
patriots. while all OF Christian
America and England look quietly
on IN sympathy with the poor Sa-
means. Shades Of Hades and Of all

As for the Germans having the
largest interests IN Samoa I can
only tell "a German" that could i'm

English would give them the promi-
Bence. Germany does but one-third
Of Sam0a's trade. England and
America do the ether two-thirds.
