cieties here and in the principal cities

never seen lrishmen as enthusiastic ~
they appeared to-day, and so hopeless
that the long and severe conflict for Ire
lands rights was rapidly drawing 10 a
close, and that next ST. Patritks pay

SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
SAN Francisco. March I6 The Zea-
lander steamship brings the following
adycs from Apia, Samoa Everything
has been quiet at Samoa during the past
month and, although the declaration of a
state OF war on the Islands by the Ger
mans still exists, il seems to
have become dead letter The
German, American, and English con
sulates are still garded Mataafa is hold
ing a strong position and has full faith
in the support of the United States
His difficulty with the Germaas
has not been adjusted, because he
persistently declines 10 accept the terms
proposed by the German Consul Many
of Tamasese's followers are Joining Ma
tasfa One of the formers best chiefs
was killed in a recent encounter with a
party OF NIalatOa men
The ex-German officer Bands. who
was in a considerable degree responsible
for the trouble here, left Apia on the last
steamer for Sydney, and il is said the
German authorities have ordered him to
Berlin to explain his actions in relation
10 Samoan affairs.
On February %, the United States
/ cteamshin Nanta1is arrived The Treu-
ton had not arrived up to the time of the
departure OF the Zealander Her ar
rival is looked for with much anxiety
/ The impression exists on the is
lands that her commander, Admiral
Kimberly, has instructions which viii
terminate the uncertainty as to the
course to be pursued by the American
officials at the islands in the case of an
emergency.
The German officials are still accused OF
opening mail matter addressed to Ameri
cans and Englishmen. The Olga, Of the
( German navy, met the schooner having
on hoard the mails for Apia, which the
steamer Alamada had delivered, and
took on the whole mail private
and official, and ordered she
l schooner 10 return 10 Iutilla.
The mail was afterwards hand
ed over TO the pOstOtiice at Apia, by
the Olga. II is said that an American
war-ship will in future meet the mail
steamer at Tutila, in order to avoid the
necessity of American mail matter pass
ing through German hands before reach
ing Apia.
