HELENA, Jan. 16.--The republicans held
an informal caucus tonight, without any
change in the nominee. Tho voto to-day
showed no change In the democratic
ranks since Saturday, though thero are
evidences that the Clark forces ore weak
ening and the Dixon mon arc steadfast
and united.
Many important bills were considered
In tho house to-day, covering pronounced
reforms in many directions. The bill
passed by tho senate meets general ap-
proval. This hill, on the repeal of the
estraw law, is of great interest to tho
stock sections, as tho law has been
much abused. The bill introduced by
tho committee on employees Of
tho house indicates that the
interests of the state will he guarded and
that the Legislature will not permit en-
travaRant waste ofpublic funds In any way.
Many committees have no use for clerks
and but few will use them throughout the
session.
Tho contest over tho question of
state institutions may consume much
time. The friends OF consolidation are
working necessarily and produce strong
arguments to strengthen their position.
They will be met by organized lobbics
from tho towns seeking the various
schools. Tuesday may develop a change
in the senatorial situation, being tho first
legal day for the ballot. Intense interest
Is felt hero and crowds continue 10 I'LL
tho lobbies.
On Sunday the Clark people informed
the Dixon men that Davidson was cor.
tainly to start for Hot Springs next Thurs.
day, and that, therefore, immediate action
must bc taken II democratic senator
was to be elected. Not SO much talk has
been heard to-day Of Davidson's going te

| spoiIs of victory. The spoils consisted OF
| the bleeding beads of human beings. Each
man who had the luck TO cut the head OFT
an enemy marched through the streets OF
| Apia with his enemy's head. carrying it
with one finger stuck UP the windpipe of
| the severed head and another finger in the
mouth. They walked up the street yelling
| like fends. with eyes starting from their
sockets with excitement and throwing the
severed heads about like paseballs. the
blood dripping all over the bearers. Many
heads were brought in in this manner. and.
! after being exhibited about the town, were
presented to Malistoa as trophies of war.
The King graciously received them and
they were then thrown in pile on the
ground. There were two German war
ships in the harbOr, but the American and
British subjects were unprotected. Malie-
toa's excited friends marched to and fro
through the town clearing everyb body out
of the way. White people took refuge on
the verandas of houses while the war;
riors held the streets. The whites were at
the mercy of the excited natives, who we're
crazed with victory and blood. and if there
had been any clash would probably have
been massacred.
Mataafa was not received cordially by
the tribesmen on Savaii, and he according
ly proceeded to Manono. where he erected
Notifications and made preparations for
final stand. The story Of his surrender
has already been told. Mataafa and
twenty y-eight chiefs went on board the
British warship, while the natives arms
were brought and piled on the deck.
United States Vice-Consul Blackjack was
on board the Katoomba. and remained to
see the final surrender. Until it is de-
cded what shall be done with the prison
ers they win probably be kept on the war
ships.
Reliable reports state that Mata afa lost
sixteen killed and seventeen wounded
Malietoa's loss was four killed and twelve
wounded.
Laupepe, Mataafa's nephew called his
son by Samoan usage). was buried by his
relatives on the Government side. His
head was carried through the town
wrapped in a fine mat. At Malie forty-fve
houses were burned by Mataafa and fifteen
were razed to the ground. Mataafa's
nephew was killed by a native named Foe.
When the attack on the Stockyard was
made Foe knocked Laupepe down with a
long knife with hook at the end. Lau-
pepe begged for his life. but Foe with
yell of triumph proceeded to decapitate
the victim. OF the four women killed two
were decapitated. One girl crept into the
bushes for shelter. where she was discoy-
cred by warrior. lying face down and
elingng with both hands to sapling.
She cried for mercy. saying that she was
woman, but the warrior deliberately
slaughtered her and cut off her head. All
other maid had her head sliced off while
engaged in making kara.

ing the other yachts wind, but the attempt
! failed.
| The German Emperor's yacht Meteor
started in a private race against j. James
Iyerna over the same course of the other
racers.
The first round in the royal yacht race
was finished in this order: Satanita, Val
kyrie. Calluna. Navahoe, and the same
order was continued to the enu Of the race.
The prize was $500.
Deductlng two minutes and five seconds
allowed the Valkyrie by the Satanita, the
latter won the race by four seconds.
Before the first round was finished the
wind, which had been gradually lncreas-
ing in strength. was blowing hard and was
accompanied by heavy rain squalls. The
Navahoe made two tacks under land while
the other yachts made only one. This
sailing put her further behind than she
would probably have been had she made
single tack. The Satanita and Valkyrie
kept close in each others company
throughout the race.
The private race between the Meteor and
the Iverna was won by the latter.

of July toward the seat of war. Malie-
toa's army was far more powerful than
Mataafa's, having plenty of arms and am.
muntion and many more warriors. Maile-
toa also had the advantage in securing
tie aid of the tribes which Mataafa had
counted upon to back him. Although
Mataafa had been disappointed in secur-
ing allies he would not surrender.
When the attack came, Mataafa's forces.
being short OF ammunition. retreated after
hard fight. in which many were killed
and wounded. AT last Mataafa. seeing no
hope of success, and having lost his
nephew. who was killed and decapitated,
ordered nineteen boats to lie off Mulinuu.

town was formerly the Kings residence.
and was beautifully laid out in the Samoan
style. The houses were we'll built. but
rather than have the town tall into the
Kings hands Mataafa preferred to see it
go up IN smoke. Mataafa's strategy with
the boats being successful in keeping the
enemy off he departed with his followers
for the island of Savaii. another of the
Samoan group.

started their march on Malie, Mataafa's S
camp. and made a decisive move by cap
turing an outpost and disarming the men.
The outpost in question was situated at
Sanser. some three or four miles from
Apia. and as it only consisted OF four fight
ing men il offered bat little resistance.
No violence was offered 20 the soldiers Of
Mataafa. They were even set at liberty
after their guns and axes had been taken
from them.
But it was next day the war actually
began and the first blood was shed. Ii
was on Saturday, July s, that the first
savage and sangui1ary encounter took
place, resulting in heavy losses on both
sides, the killing of many and the wound
ing Of more.
The preparations made by King Malie-
toa Laupepa were aston ishingly complete.

general had taken any active measures,
but had simply conIented themselves with

matter into their own hands. The posi-

States Vice. Consul General Blackjack took
leading part in the proceedings sailed
for Manono on Tuesday a t day ybreak. They
arrived thers early in the morning and
notice was at once sent TO Mataafa that If
he and his chiefs did not surrender before
P. NJ. the place would be shelied by the
ships and attacked by the royal feet Of 140
boats, filled with warriors and personally
commanded by the King. 1t was intended
that the Kings fighting men should land
under cover of the war-vessels' fire, and
as the Mataafaites were known to be weak
in numbers and almost without ammuni-
tion terrible slaughter would have en-
sued.
A quarter Of an hour before the ap-
pointed time Mataafa and his chiefs
boarded the Katoomba and gave them
selves up. The decks OF the Katoomba
and Buzzard had been cleared for action
and the men stood at their guns.
The Sperber had gone round the island
to prevent escape from the other side.
The German vessels returned to Apia to
make sure Of catching the mail by the
steamship Monowai to America, while the
Katoomba, with the prisoners on beard,
remained behind to dsarm the followers
of Mataafa. The Katoomba is expected
back to-day. Thus has the intervention Of
the powers suppressed in one day a strife
that otherwise might have lasted for many
months and ended heaven knows how.
The rather ticklish question of how to
deal with Mataafa and the others, now
that the Government has got hold of them.
has yet to be settled.
