THE KING WAS WORRIED.

he klNG WAS WORRIED.
He Predicted Tint Hi Island Would
Soon BE Taken From Him.
1t is learned from persons who
cultivated the acquaintance Of King
Maborn, Of the Gilbert Islands. when
he was in San Francisco, that the king
was more worried than he would
admit about the fear of his islands
being grabbed by Germany or England.
He thought Germany would be the
first in the field after it learned of his
fruitless appeal to the United States;
but recent events have shown that he
moderated British enterprise.
The king related several instances
OF German tyranny. At Butaritari
there was German store-keeper who
lived with q native woman as his wife.
One day she took from the store some
articles which she gave to her friends
The German thereupon presented a
bill of 81 900 to the king As the
amount was in excess Of the value of
the goods that had been taken, pay
ment was refused, although a sum
equal in value to the stolen goods was
offered.
The German refused to accept the
money and sent word to the consular
agent at the Marshall group As 4
result a war vessel was sent 70
Butaritari, aad the threat made that.
unless the bill was paid forthwith. the
king would be taken prisoner and
transferred to some other island He
paid the money. Another source OF
annoyance was the custom the German
store-keepers had of giving credit to
the natives and then presenting the
bill, very much augmented, to the
king for payment.
The king when in San Francisco
wanted to so to Washington, but the
merchant who brought him over re-
fused to put MP the money. Now the
islands are lost to us.
