Secretary Gresham has got another diplo-
matte tangle on his hands. This time it is the
Samoan Islands. Ho has received advices that
war is rampant there and that a rebellion has
broken out against the existing government.
Of which King Malietoa is the head,
and the governments Of Great Britain,
Germany and the United States are the powers
behind the throne and the influences that have
kept down the spirit of rebellion from the time
that the former king, Mataafa. was deposed
THE PRESENT PRoTECToRATE.
That incident resulted in the establishment
Of the present joint protectorate with Malietoa
on the throne. Comparative quiet prevailed on
the islands so long as the dethroned monarch
Mataafa. was kept out of his kingdom.
1t appears now, however. that he has re-
turned to Samoa for the purpose OF regaining
his throne. ALI his old adherents and many
new recruits have rallied under his standard
and have begun active operations against the
powers that be.
MATAAFA's STRONG FOLLOWING.
That his following is strong and menacing is
evidenced by the fact that the reigning king,
Malietoa. has appealed to the representatives of
the tripartite alliance to protect him in accord
ance with the treaty concluded between the
United States, Great Britain and Germany. and
assist him in driving the usurper. Mataafa. from
his territory.
The situation has reached critical stage and
the President and Secretary Gresham are in
frequent conference as to the policy of this
government in the matter. The United States
is pledged to assist in preserving the autonomy
Of the islands, but at present is hardly in q
position to do very much in that direction.
NAVAL VESSELS NEAR.
The only naval vessels anywhere near Samoa
are the Boston and Adams. at Hawaii. and there
is no means of communicating with them except
by steamer from San Francisco and even il
that could be accomplished 1t would take q,
least five days to make the trip from Honolulu
to Samoa.
Germany is the only member OF the alliance
represented at the islands by warship, but,
with the cooperation Of the representatives
and citizens of the other govern ments, that ves-
sci will be sufficient to afford ample protection
to foreign interests on the island. even il it is
not capable Of entirely suppressing the re-
bellion.

details Of the work. 1t was specified that extra

CADETS AND THE FAIR,

proved by the Secretary.
Although the matter is not entirely settled.
1t is more than probable that Gen. Schoield's
plan of having the West Point cadets visit the
worlds fair will receive the approval OF the
Secretary Of War. The plan. which has received
the hearty Endorsement of the authorities Of the
Military Academy. is for the cadets TO spend
about ten days at the fair near the end Of
August. The cadets will then be enjoying
their summer vacation and the trip can
be made without interfering with their
studies The question of transportation is now
the only thing to be settled. and the authorities
Of the War Department are of the opinion that
the expense can be properly met out Of the
general appropriation for the transportation Of
the army which becomes available July /.
