general curiosity.

AN UNBIASED ACCOUNT.
The Suppressed Samoan Times Gave an
Account of the Recent Battle.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3L-The Samoan
Times newspaper. which the Auckland
cable states that the Germans have sup
pressed, was published at Apia by an
English subject named Cusack. A num-
of copies of the paper were taken in this
CITY, and ever since the trouble
began in Samoa the paper was
sought for after an Intelligent
summary of the happenings in the
islands. The opinions expressed by the
paper were conservative and the journal
was regarded as publishing an unbiased
review of the happenings in the recent bat
tie between Germans and the Samoans.
The Times declared that the latter did not
fire until the Germans had fired number
of shots and had killed two of the natives.
The Germans have not been friendly
to Cusack and it is related by the
correspondent at Apia that on the night
of December IL, number of sailors from
the German men-of-war, Olga and Adler,
went ashore at Apia and one of the chief
objects of their search was Cusack.
The correspondent said: 'Cusack had
on several occasions criticised the
Germans in his editorial columns for their
general conduct in Samoa, thereby in
curing their hatred. When the German
sailors came on shore they began to look
for him and he was obliged to go to the
British consulate for protection. They, of
course. did not venture to follow him
