MALIETOA MUST Be KING.
Germany Deposed Him; She Must
Restore Him.
SECRETARY BLAlNe's pEMANDc
She May Hagglc About Indemnity
and Tripartite Government,
but This Must DC Com
Cnded.
Bln,ne,s Alleged UItimatum.

[Copuright 1889 bv NclU York Associated Press
BERLIN, May 2l.--From certain indications
at the rooms Of the American delegates, as
we'll as at the quarters of the English COM
missioners and ut the German foreign office,
IL is evident that there is some serious hitch
in the negotiations of the Samoan commits
sion. Mr.. Phelps, who is known as 1.-The
peacemaker," is in evident trouble. First
he is interviewing an English commissioner
in his own rooms, then he is hurrying
off to the foreign office, where he remains
for some time closctcd with the German rep
resentatives, and then repeats the process.
When asked rs to the situation, Commission
ers Phelps, Kasson and Bates says there is no
great change, and everything is progressing
satisfactorily. Both the German and Eng
llsh commissioners refuse to talk on the sub
iect, but it is learned from other sources
that the United States government has in
structed it's commissioners to insist upon the
return of Malctoa as king.
A message is said TO have been received
from Secretary Blaine within the past thir-
ty-siX hours directing the commissioners to
insist upon the restoration of the status quo,
and saying that Germany deposed Malietoa
as king and must return him rs king They
may haggle about indemnity or II unit of
dual or tripartite government if they please,
but Malietoa must be king.
While the Germans have come to agree
with all the other views OF the American
commissioners they are reluctant to accept
this condition, aud point to the fact that
Malietoa was pardoEed by the German en-
peror at the beginning of the conference.
This, they claim, should satisfy America.
1t is thought that the crisis will be reached
at the meeting of the conference to-day.
The American commissioners last night
were quiet and conciliatory in their utter
anccs concerning the situation, but ex-
pressed the determination to remain firm.
Later-rhe special correspondent OF the
Associated press here was informed this
evening that Germany has finally consented
to restore King Maletoa This &C ion was
taken after prolonged and persistent efforts
on the part of the American commi. sioners.
But now comes another hitch in the negotia-
tions. This fresh difficulty grows out of the
claim for indemnity made by Germany. An
other section of the conference holds that II
any indemnity is paid it must be IA merely
nominal sum. Germany, on the contrary,
maintains that in the conflict between the Ger
man forces and the Samoans, the latter were
invariable the aggressors. Besides the ma.
tive partisans of King Malietoa were guilty
of beheadng German sailors as well as in
fcting upon the wounded particular cruel
ties. These acts, Germany insists, should
entail upon Samoa the payment of special
indemnity. Earnest efforts are making IN
committee to settle the dispute but the mat
ter is very likely to require reference to
plenary conference.

BRITISH sTEAMERs COLLIDE.
The German Emperor Sunk by the
Beres(Ord

LONDON, May 21,-The British steamer
German Emperor, from London, ran into
the British steamer Beresford, from Hartle-
pool, yesterday morning, while the latter
was lying at anchor on Goodwin
Sands. The German Emperor sank imme-
diately. Boats were launched from the
Beresford, and succeeded in rescuing twelve
persons from the German Emperor. The
Beresford, whose bow was stove in, pro-
ceeded to Gravesend, where she will effect
temporary repairs. Nine persons aboard
the German Emperor took small boat and
have landed at Dover. They gave an cxag-
gerated report concerning the loss of life.
The 'eres ford has arrived at Gravesend
with twenty-five of her crew and thirteen of
the German Emperor on board.
1t is now learned none of those on board
the Beresford were lost. Six men belonging
