A report has been received at the

General Sewall at Apia. Acting

dissatisfaction among the natives
because the dual Government has
not been formed. Trouble is feared
as a result of the dissatisfaction.

not care to publish the document,
lest the plain language might lead
to unpleasant international compli
cations.
