tected. After discussing the points at
issue at considerable length, the three
powers signed a treaty on June IA, 1889,
in which they agreed to restore King
Malietoa, who had been defeated and
virtually deposed by chief named
Mataafa, tool in the hands of the
Germans. The treaty further provided
for the complete neutrality of the
islands and equal rights for the citizens
of the treaty powers, for the establish
ment of a supreme court consisting of
one judge, a foreigner, and for the set
ting up of municipal government at
Apia, with an administrator appointed
by the treaty powers
The Pan.o-Pango Coaling Station.
The fact of the matter is, the United
States would withdraw from the
agreement altogether were it not for
an important treaty with the native
government which granted us the
right to establish coaling station for
vessels of war at Pango-Pango harbor.
Inasmuch as the Samoan group is di-
rectly in the line of navigation be-
tween our Pacific coast ports and New
Zealand and Australia, the possession
of Pango-Pango would prove of ines
Unable benefit in case of war with
Great Britain or any other power hav-
ing colonies in the Pacific ocean. New
Zealand can be reached from Apia in
five days, and other points of strategic
Importance are also accessible. while
the harbor of Pango-Pango affords ex-
cellent shelter for quite large fleet.
The American government fortified its
rights to the station by unloading sew
eral thousand tons of coal at Pango-
Pango in 1850. This fuel has never
been touched, but the stars and
stripes wave over the coal sheds, and
no nation would have the temcrity to
haul down that flag without the con-
sent of the American people.
Despite these advantages, however,
some naval officers are inclined to con-
slider Pango-Pango of questionable
value to the United States, as the MAIN
tenance of regular coaling station
there would entail a heavy expense.
On the other hand, advocates of annex
alton claim that if any protectorate be
over Samoa it should be by
our government. Many thoughtful
students have viewed with alarm the
seizure of various Pacific island groups
by Great Britain and France. They
argue that we cannot afford to allow
European powers to establish fortifica-
tions at points dangerous to American
and claim that we have the
right to extend the Mon
roe doctrine as far west as the Pacific
islands

Germany After the Islands.

In 1887 Germany gave a decided an
.wer to Uncle Sans diplomatic corre-
spondence. The emperor wanted to
make the Samoan group a part Of his
colonial domains. He stated that the
conditions in the islands justified for
eign interference, and as Germany had
the inside track, commercially speak
ing, he thought the kingdom should be
annexed to his government. Incidental
~ he mentioned that England had no
objections to such termination of the

President Cleveland IL Not Satisfied with

Still Hopes to Annex the Islands
PanSo-Pango Coaling Station.
Especial letter.


The political papers of Europe and
America have had a great deal to say
about Samoa recently. Samoa is a
species of kingdom. 1t consists of ten
islands, situated in the Pacific ocean,
known as the Navigators' islands.
They are said to be high, mountainous,
of volcanic origin, with a rich soil, a
hot moist climate and luxuriant vege-
tatiou. The Inhabitants, a tribe of the
Polynesian race, are described as in
dustrious and warlike. The popula-
ton of the entire kingdom, native and
foreign-born, does not exceed 10000,
but the miniature monarchy produces
and exports large quantities of coffee,
sugar, yams and nutmegs. For many
years-in fact, ever since the French
took forcible possession of the Society
islands-Apia, the principal port of the
Samoan group, has been the center of
English and American interests in that
part of the world. After the Franco
Prussian war the German empire de-
veloped its foreign commerce in every
direction, and many Hamburg firms es-
tablished branch houses and planta-
tions at and near Apia and other
Samoan ports. Nine or ten years ago
German intere"-s began to predominant
in the islands. The consul of the Ger
man empire attempted to dominate
the native chiefs and made himself
generally obnoxious to other foreign
Office holders. The natives. instead of
presenting a united front, allowed
themselves to become involved in civil
strife. The so-called rebels were sup
ported by the German consul, and
things went from bad to worse until
the government of the United States
made some pertinent inquiries concern
ing the aims and objects of the inter-
ference in Samoan affairs sanctioned
by the Berlin foreign office.

Making a grand total Of ... slO2 us 900
These figures will in large meas
pre explain matters to those who have
been skeptical with reference to the
use of money in the elections in New
York city, by which Tammany con-
times its power, and all efforts to de-
throne it have been futile In 1892,
when so much was expected from the
city of New York in sustaining Tam
many against the arbitrary candidacy
of Grover Cleveland. it was thought
that a break would be made, but here
is seen the silent force which must
bind together Tammany and the can
didate of the democratic party, no
matter what the conditions may be.
Tammany was not in a condition to
repudiate anything. Those who read
in the future of democratic campaign
funds have only to seek an opportuni.

the committee above referred to,
which no doubt will soon appear in
book form for the edification of the

The Natives Are Not I'm It,"

About two years ago Great Britain
protest from the United States. A little
later France increased her island pos
sessions in Pacific waters. In both in
stances the natives were not consulted.
They had titled the soil for centuries,
but that counted for nothing. Their
consent to annexation was not asked;
and had it been refused they would
have been treated simply as rebels.
The same cold-blooded selfshness
characterized the action of the Samoan
treaty powers. The privileges of Amer
lean, German and British citizens were
defined at great length; but the in
herent rights Of the natives were dis
posed of in a few paragraphs. The
government Of the kingdom was vested
in q supreme court, presided over by q
foreigner unacquainted with the Gus
toms and habits Of the natives. It is
true, the Samoans were permitted to
keep their king; but the unfortunate
monarch has had to obey the commands
of the justice and the foreign consulA
Good TRAITS Of the samoans.'
To understand the enormity of the
cruelty and tyranny Of which the
treaty powers have been guilty it is
necessary to state that the Samoans
are Christians. They have never vlv
lated the rights Of domicile claimed by
foreigners and have never engaged in
wanton strife except when egged on by
foreign influence. No incident men
toned in history is more touching than
the courage and humaniterianism dis
played By the Samoans during the ter
