APIA, SAMOA. March ., 1889, PER STEAM
SNIP ZEALANDIA Al SAN FRANCISCO, March
16.-DuriLg the past month the German au-
thorites. both consular aud naval, have
maintained 4 state Of inactivity. This con.
diilon OF affairs dates back OF the arrival oil
the steamer WMnui with dispatches for
the German Consul on January 23d, and Is
no DOUBT the result OF tae orders then re-
ceiyed. The declaration u state OF war
in the samoan islands seems to have become
O dead letter, while the military occupation
OF Apia. which the declaration OF martial
law would seem to have applied, has no eX'
istence, save tho maintenance Of strong
guard at the German consulate. A guard Is
still kept al tue American aud English con-
suates.
There has been no official retraction OF
these declaratioGs, nor OF the numerous
proclamations with which the town was
flooded, and consequently no settlement OF
the matter at issue. The German Consul
has made repeated oyeftures 70 Mataafa look.
ing toward The adjustment OF the quarrel and
the conclusion OF the terms OF peace, but the
terms proposed always embodied strong
German interest in the future adminlstra'
ton OF affairs, to which Mstaafa de-
cIares be will under no circumstances
consent. Negotiations have therefore been
OF no value. and the German oDcials
occupy the uuenyiable position OF men VINO
