NEW YORK, Jan. 2I.-The World will
publish Tomorrow o long letter from
It's special correspondent at Samoa, under
date of January 9th. In his account
OF the firing on the Amering flag, he
states that on December 2lst the German
Consul issued dictatorlAl proclamation,
informing the natives that their difficult
ties were due to the fact that there were
90 many firearms In tho island, and or
dering the warriors In Tandmamandao
and Matafsgstele to bring their arms on
the German man-of-war. II this was not
done within an hour after the German
vessel hoisted q red nag, then the Consul
said the village OF Matafagtile would be
fred on.
This proclamation ignored the Ameri
can and English Consulates entirely.
None of Matasfa's men came to give VI
their arms, and, against the protest of the
American Consul, the German vessel
fired on the village, In which were three
houses owned by Captain Hamilton, an
American living In Apia. On each Of
these houses an American flag was flying,
The correspondent says; "Twenty 1--we
shells were fred at the village and In the
bush beyond, toward Mataafa's camp,
but no one was injured. The American
nag was fired upon as though there was
no such flag In existence. Several boat
loads of SAILORS were then landed, and
two-thirds OF the village burned, among
them the three houses belonging to CAP
tain Hamilton. as well as house belong
ing to British subject. The lombard
ment and burning Of the village was
plainl, seen from the British Consulate.
After her men had burned the place the
Olga returned TO Apla. Captain Hamil.
ton then went to Matatagatile and found
his houses in ruins.
Part OF the large American flag which
had been placed on ons Of the houses was
burned, having evidently been either
torn or blown of the building before the
latter was destroyed, thus saving the flag.
The remnants Of the flags were brought
to Apia by Captain Hamilton, who filed
his compl int about the desirncti OF his
property with Consul Blocklock, and also
gave him the remnants of the flag These
remnants were placed IN package by
the Consul, and have been sent to Secre-
tary Bsyaid
Regarding Germany's designs on sa-
mos and it's methods of furthering them
he says: "a few days ago the Germans
began circulating petition TO thelT Gov
eminent asking Germany to annex sa-
moa. This petition, OF course, has been
universally signed by the German resi-
dents, but an especial effort is beit &
made to induce some of the foreign popu-
laiion to sign II also.
Several Scandinavlaus who were ap-
preached refused TO sign the document
Two or three English and American
rencgades, who have allied themselves
with he Germans and Tsma.ese party
lor pu poses of gain, have signed the
paper. These Individuals are entirely
ostracised by the other American and
English residents, who LOOK upon them
as oItcasts and no not recognize them In
any way, Yet the Germans, who have
obtained the signatures, will In due tise
announce to the world, with a flourish OF
trumpeis, that the American and English
subjects in Samoa, with but iew eIcep-
tions, have wi lingly siRred the petition
for German annexation"

She Secs Her Husbands Ghost.

BEAVER FALLS, Jan. 27.-Some weeks
ego John Won Mollea died in Mt. Wash
tngton, o suburb of this place Since then
the house 10 which he breathed bis last
has been subjected to all sorts of ghostly
manifestations until Mollen's widow ia
terror stricken and refuses TO live longer
In the building. She visited Burgess
Pil er and told him her story, which Is 10
the effect that ut the dead hour of the
night she has been awakened from her
sleep to see standing In her room horri-
bic apparition barring stricking resem-
blance TO her dead husband.
The ghostly visitor comes arrayed in a
sheer, wearing rose In his bosom and
says nothing. After few minutes he
disappears as noiseless'y as he comes.
Bolts and bars cannot keep him out, and
the poor woman begged the Burgess and
his officers to visit the house and make
an investigation.
Mrs. Mol'en was in earnest and has
evidently seen something of an u, csny
nature. The affair Is the talk OF the
neighborhood, ard the Burgess will in
yestlgate 1t In person.
