San FRAscIsco. Aug 5.
A letter from Apia, Samoa, OF July 10,
predicts troubles of which the cable last
week gave brief account. A correspond
enf says the ISLANDERS ere on the verge OF
another civil war solely because OF the
delay of the powers In putting the pro-
visions Of the treaty into force. The read
ing of the treaty and it's solemn ratifca-
tiop had good moral effect on the natives
who had been recently lighting each other,
bat when time went on and nothing was
done to enforce the new laws both the
partisans of Mataafa aud Tamesese became
rsstive, and several incidents that have oc-
Cured lately show 1t will take but little TO
eauss 4 renewal of hostllities. The Mohi-
can is the only war vessel in harbor. Ugly
stories are afIeat Of the cruelty of German
plantation managers toward the South Sea
Islaad laborers. These managers are al
loved TO fog boys whenever they think II
necessary, and they have used this power
90 freely that large number of boys have
fad In the hush, where thes are living Ia q
Wild state, As these fugitives are from
islands where cannibalism Is practiced, re-
ports come In of the killing and eating oi
boys belonging TO other stations The
murder of two boys recently gave color &c
these reports.

enlted Ia his death. McCaffrey went to
Boston several weeks ago advertising him-
self az the champion bridge jumper OF
Canada and attempted to get backing for q
match with Brodie. He made several
Jumps from considerable height and
partly succeeded In interesting couple OF
dime museum managers and one balloon
ist, q. A. Rogers by name. The latter
promised the Canadian money and posi-
lion in cass he sh0aid proved himself
capable of Masking real high jump.
Tie tssl lrst decided upon was . leap
from q derrick on DaFlinq's wharf al the

Ave feet. In the presence OF large crowd,
bal slnring the absence Of Rogers, this
iunp was successfully done. Fifteen mini
utes afterward Rogers appeared on the
scene and demanded another trial. Me-
Cafsrey sneeringly replied that the jump
lust made was nothing for man OF nerve,
and asked that a higher place be shown
him.
Escaping from the crowd McCafrey,
Rogers and the two dime museum men
proceeded TO the Atlantic oompany's ship
