Tho Samoan Question

A hitch is reported In the Somoan con.
ference at Berlin. The United States
government insists that Maletoa be restor.
ed as King. This is the chief point al
issue. The German government is reluct.
ant to agree TO that proposition. Its re-
personalities point out that Germany has
pardoned Maletoa and think it Is the bes,
their government can do as far as he is
concerned. The latest is that after pro
longed and persistent efforts of the Am.
erican commissioners Germany finally
has consented to restore King Maletoa
The next question upon which there is .
difference of opinion is the claim of in
demnity made by Germany against
Samoa.
