The details are given in the following

Apia, Samoa, Aug. 15.-The ships of
Great Britain and Germany have at
last taken action with view to ending
the native disturbances which have
heretofore appeared to be intermina-
bic. Two skirnishes had taken place
between the warning tribes, resulting
Ill the killing of eight or ten natives
and the wounding Of many more, and,
besides, the natives had become short
OF food, not having planted or looked
after their crops, and they had taken
to stealing from foreigners throughout
the island. Their mode Of living had
produced great deal of illness, much
suffering and many deaths, so that in
the interest Of common humanity in
terference by the powers became alb
solutely necessary. Something had to
be done to put stop to the so-called
warfare. It was with this end In view
that the diplomatic and naval officials
held several conferences. The ulti-
mate result was resolution to notify
the rebels they must disperse from
their fortified stronghold at La Tu.
anua or suffer Smelling from the guns
OF the varships. On Friday, Aug. 10,
the British warship Curacao and the
German warship Ruzzard stormed the
rebel fortfcations, killing a large
number Of rebels. The rebels sued
for peace and promised to give up
their guns, but changed their minds an
soon as one Of the warships left. The
gunboats are again firing upon the
rebels, and it is reported that they
have surrendered. --c o.

A Cave in the Sierra Nevadas Where
Thousands of Bats Live.
OF all the strange places to be found
in the remote receSseS of the Sierra
Ntvadas none is any stranger than
bat cave IN Kaweah canon. There is
nothing particularly strange about the
cave itself, says the San Francisco
Call, but the fact that it is the dwelling
place IF thousands Of the web-winged
amin ais makes It q most uneanny and
I'll usual spot. The cave is iii the wall
of the canon, not far back from the
water, in the rainy season, and there
is nothing about the appear lnce of
the opening to attract attention during
the day. But approach the place at
about dusk and black stream of sha-
dowy forms will be seen passing in and
out Of the opening, accompanied by
the most peculiar odor in the world
and soft, rustling sound. The bats
have been asleep all day and are going
out in search Of food. 70 enter the
cave In the day time Is not difficult
task, but 1t is somewhat unpleasant
The opening is large and a man can
enter in an erect position. About ten
feet in the entrance makes a turn
and an inky blackness exists. Go a
little farther, so as to be away from
the air at the entrance, and a most
disagreeable odor strikes the nostrils
and every few feet one treadS upon the
dead body Of bat. While the cave is
in darkness profound silence exists,
but strike light and sound like
waterfall Is heard Thousands of bats
that have been asleep at once awake
and commence to fly In circles about
the cavern, which can be seen to be
very large, Round and round they go,
increasing in speed every moment, and
the odor Of the cave becomes more and
more disagreeable. When this happens
it is wise thing for the explorer to
to make his escape and postpone fur
ther Investigation until night, at which
time the cave is deserted. Even the
dead bats on the floor will disappear,
having been eaten by the others as
soon as they awoke.
