stambouloff's Cruel Rule Cannot Bear
SCRUTINY, as Salisbury Knows.

LONDON, Dec. 25.-Sir William Whyte,
British ambassador at Constantinople,
while passing through Sofia yesterday. had
a short interview with Premier Siam
bouloff. 1t IS the belief of high official
of the foreign office that Lord Salisbury,
taking an isolated course, is urging
Premier Stamboulotf to submit to the de-
mands of Ribot, the French min
lister of foreign affairs, although the
Berlin government is known to be
advising an opposite policy. The reports
of O'Connor, the British agent at Sofia,
shows that it would not be advisable to
expose Stambouloff7s regime to the scru-
tiny which would arise from Joint de-
liberation of the European powers on
Ribot's charge of violation of stipula-
tions.
Wholesale arrests, prolonged imprison-
ment without trial, savage system of
torture to compel confessions, and other
illegal expulsions besides that of Chad
ouin accompany Stambouloff's despotic
rule, so that Lord Salisbury aims to settle
tae trouble out of court. Stambouloff
threatens to resign unless the unstinted
support of England be accorded to him.
As his successor, in this event would be
Stoiloff, who would adopt pro-Russian
policy, the prospect may compel Lord
Salisbury to change his position in the
matter. Ribot wanting to force an ex-
posure of the new Bulgarian atrocities, has
brought Chadouin to Paris to coach him.

More Trouble Brewing in Samoa.

APIA, Samoa, Nov. 10.-Chief Justice
Cedercrantz has tried several civil cases
since his return from his vacation. but
some dissatisfaction has been found with
the verdicts rendered. The chief Justice
stated in open court that the natives need
not be afraid to appear before him. as he
was friendly to them, but when he sent
some soldiers down TO Molie. in charge of
an officer of the supreme court, to arrest
some natives on charges of stealing, the
leading rebel chiefs refused to ar
rest the men, as they did not
know the supreme court. When the
chief justice found that his war
rant had been defied he wrote to King
Malietoa, suggesting that the Samoan
army. which numbers forty-three men.
be sent to Molie 10 arrest the men
wanted. The king. however, replied that
the army would surely be unsuccessful,
and In that event it would be necessary to
muster his forces, which would mean war,
as the other party would learn thereof as
soon as his own people. The chiefs on
Muilnuu, who compose the native gov
ernment, had meeting and decided
first TO get their men together to attack
Molie, holding that the longer the
rebellion was allowed to go on the more
difficult 1t would be to break it up. They
eventually decided to await the arrival of
the next mail from San Francisco, hoping
that new president of the council would
be appointed, which, it was thought,
would go far towards settling the diff
Guilty. Many of the chiefs say that if the
treaty powers should request Baron Won
Senft, president of the municipal council
of Apia, to withdraw his rendered resigna-
ton, trouble would ensue, as the natives
have no confidence in him.
Chief Justice Cederkrantz has also
caused i'll feeling by refusing TO pay duty
on goods imported for his use, notwith-
standing he is receiving rent free.
The natives and whites are suffering
greatly from the grip, and many of the
natives have died.

Senator Aliens Chairmanship.

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 25.- Especial. /
When the list of Senate committees was
being made up Senator Hoar, of Massachu-
setts, for several days refused to give up
the Craftsmanship of the committee on re-
latlons with Canada, even though he was
to succeed to the most important chair
manshlp in that body The venerable
Massachusetts senator claimed that the
importance of this committee in the future
was great, and he believed that in a short
time 1t will play an important pa-t in in
ternal affairs with Canada. Probably after
the holidays it will be made a standing
committee and Senator Alien will find
himself at the head of committee which
will deal with the important problem of
Canadian annexation. Chinese exclusion
and many other matters now agitating the

made chairman OF more important CON-

EIGHT-PAGE EDITION

evening Of the same day soldiers, with a
company Of policemen, entered the church
OF II. Augustine and arrested a number of
other priests and students As the SOL
dlers and police were taking the prisoners
TO the police station, a crowd gathered,
hlhng the main street, and endeavored to
rescue the priests. All kinds of missiles
were hurled at the officers, and many ri
oters had pistols in their hands, but owing
10 the GOODNESS of the officers, who kent
the men under strict discipline, only one
OF the rabble was shot and killed, while
another was shot in the head. A number
were more or less injured by the horses as
they forced their way through the mob.
About the same time another BODY of
soldiers and policemen proceeded to the
CID church and convent of El Carmen and
arrested eight or nine priests and students
who had organized another order of monks
in that place. The mob that gathered
around these and followed them to the
Jail was nearly as great and nearly as vio-
lent as the one above mentioned 1t IS
SAID one man of the rabble was killed on
the line of march as he resisted the pro-
gress OF the soldiers. A list of those un-
der arrest numbers seventeen captured in
the two converts of Puebla and nine
brought in from Coahuila. Many others
were arrested and retained for a short
time, but discharged for want of evidence.

but not a sailing vessel was moved. 1t is
reported that the reason the Oregon and

each master waiting for the other. The
Lamoesl had no licensed bar pilot, and in
the event OF accident this would have re-
leased the insurance company from liabil-
lty, so the captain was desirous
OF the Oregon leaving first. On
