The Samoa Affair.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.--This city had
touch to-day of excitement which would
follow the confirmation of the rumor that
the United States man-of-war Nipsic has
been sunk in Samoan waters by the Ger
man man-of-war as reported in the Breslan
dispatches two days ago. All manner of
Disturbing rumors were abroad during the
day to the effect that the naval authorities
at Mare Island had received news confirm
ing the sinking of the Nipsic, which was
intensified by the statement that the Ger
mans had seized the American mail
steamer Alameda of the Oceanic company.
The statement was also made that the Sec
retary of the navy had telegraphed an in
Quiry to the Union Iron Works of this city
as to how soon the steel cruiser Charleston
could be placed in readiness for her guns
Based upon these rumors and the further
statement that the Southern Pacific COM
pany had received notice to be prepared to
handle the Charleston's guns and naval
stores, the newspapers put out bulletin
boards declaring that the sinking of the
American man-of-war had been confirmed
Wy pAtN0tO oNASlCCSs Lie SGOIy ICSpCCGluk
the steamphip Alameda is shown to be un-
true by the receipt of cable from Sydney
noting her arrival there. The steamship
Zealandia is due here next Saturday and
will bring mail advices from Samoa up to
March LIST.
In an editorial article headed "The First
Shot" commenting on reported engage
ment between the U. 8. steamship Nipsic
and the German corvette Olga, the Cali
| fOrnia Democrat, the leading German
paper of the city will say tomorrow: "As
American citizens of German extraction
we cannot but deeply deplore this unfor-
| tunate quarrel between the country of our
/ choice and that of our birth, but whatever
| may come there remains but two roads to
follow; either we must rally around the
starry flag and defend it with our lives and
our fortunes, or we have to shake off Amer
country, and since we have come here to
stay, we will stand orfall by our flag, if
our country is right or wrong"
