hiai'et"a to Apis - The Kings Health,
Apparently Broken Down by the Seur-
Wy treatment Received at the Uanus
OF His German Capturs
DAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-Advices from
Apla describe the return of King Malia-
toa as follows: The German gun boat
Wut arrived in the harbor on tie after
noon OF August IL When the vessel
came to anchor. Malietoa was sean
standing on the deck. The flag of the
returning monarch was at once hoisted
on shore, and hearty cheers were given
oy the American and English residents.
Mango, Asi and the Kings brother, Moli,
VINO were exiled with him, were also on
lne Nun. No canoes were allowed to
approach the vessel but about dark the
hlng and chiefs were taken ashore in

German Consul General, and Folau,
Chlef Magistrate of Samoa, who had
gone aboard the Wulf an hour before,
quite crowd Of natives and few white
residents had assembled at the spot
Where the landing was made.
w men the boat touched the beach Dr.
Steubel sprang out and assisted Malie-
toa 70 land once more upon his native
shore- The King was taken at once to
Solaus House, where he was followed by
number of people. The meeting be-
tween Malletoa and his relatives was
most affecting. The women fell on their
knees and kissed his hands, and the
whole party, including the King, were
weeping all the time. The greatest ex-
presslons Of Joy were heard, and all pres
ent extended sympathy to the monarch
who had been carried off by the Germans
and landed first at the Cameroons, one
OF the most unhealthy shores in the
world and taken from thence to Hamburg
as a steerage passenger, and then ex-
lied on an island in the Marshall group.
All Of the returned party give the high
est praise to DR.. Morgan, the United
States Consul at Marshall Island, and
declare that had it not been for mis- as
slstance they would have suffered heav-
lily. About half an hour after Malietoa
had arrived at the house, Mataafa who
had been reigning during his absence,
arrived and greeted his relative most
cordially. Malietoa seemed to be care
worn man and broken down in health.
