Won PILsAOH RESIGNS.
He Was Trying to Install Himself as
Dictator of samoa.

APIA, SAMOA, Oct. 15.-Baron Senft Won
and advisor to King Malietoa, has resigned.
The reason he assigns is that certain white
residents of Samoa have been writing let
ters to the king about German currency
ana other matters, and that the king wrote
direct TO them in reply. Pilsach claimed
that no one should either write or speak to
King Malietos before fret securing the
presidents permission, thereby actually
assuming the position OF dictator Of
the Islands. Before he resigned a me-
mortal or the three powers had
already been prepared by the consuls Of the
three treaty powers and will be forwarded

count OF ineEperience and reckless behavior

exception of some of the Germans.
IL is contended thai he is incapable of fill
ing the position, and it il further coutended
that the position should not be filed at all

MATAAFA PROCLAIMED A REBEL.
Mataafa has at last been proclaimed a
rebel, ana all the chiefs who are supporting
him have had their lands confiscated and
everybody is forbidden to assist them in
any way. The American consul has been
instructed by his government TO inform
Mataafa that the & government was annoyed
at the latter's attitude, aud that lie should
at once break up the party at Malie. There
are only about 300 in the party but 1t is
stated that fully half OF the population are
against the Mulinnu government, chiefly
because of it's insction.
The United States government has per-

NOT A NATTER FOR WAR.
The Chronicle thinks the affair is hardly
matter for war or even the mobilizlng Of
the United States navy. Il says that Chile
Will doubtless find 1t more prudent to
apologize, punish the assailants of the
American sailors aud pay compensation
rather than to risk her ironclads in an en-
counter with the United States.
The Post, after remarking that the naval
inferiority of the United States will make
it difficult for her to coerce Chile,
expresses a hope that both parties
will modify their attitude before
proceeding to hostilities. The Post then
enters into an elaborate argument, quoting
from authorities on international law and
giving practical instances. to prove the in-
validity of Minister Egan's view on the ex-
territoriality Of tie United States legation
and concludes: "The whole question is so
important that the action of the United
States will be awaited with interest every
where, and not without anxiety at the pros
pect of a confusing revolution Of inter-
national customs"
LOOKED UPON AS BUNCOMBE.
The Times, referring to the Chilean af-
fair. regards the American deliverances as
tall talk, intended to influence the coming
elections, and says that after Tues
day a settlement will proba-
bly, be found satisfactory to both
parties. The Times continues: "The prec>
edent of the British claim on Brazil affords
no parallel to Secretary Blaines peremptory
action The orders given to the American
navy yards do not necessarily prelude war.
The perception Of the danger of multiply
ing the chances of a collision
at Valparaiso during the existing
heated state of affairs there probably ex-
plains the fact, which has been miscon-
construed as practical boycott on the war
ship Baltimore. Secretary Blalnes aims
to form zollverein with South America
are not likely to be promoted by threats,
still less by an actual declaration of war;"
CHILEs NAVY NO MATCH FOR OURS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Capt. Erben of
the navy yard in Brooklyn has made this
statement 1T is the opinion here at the
yard that the trouble between our governs
ment and Chile will not go 80 far as to neces-
state the sending to Valparaiso Of some
Of the cruisers Nothing official relative to
the course of the government has been re-
ceived here. In case it should become nee
essary to send a part Of the navy to South
America not more than four ships would
be needed to carry on our operations egainst
Chile and its navy. There are not more than
three or four warships in its navy which
could offer resistance to our curisers. At
no time recently has our navy been in a
position to place so many Of its best war
ships at the front in so short time"
