In accordance with the above
ultimatum, the ten chiefs named
gave themselves up, and were
carried to Apia. Fifty dilapidated
muskets were also brought on
board and dropped into deep water.
The Samoa Times of the 10th
instant gives the following account
of the situation as it stands at
present:
The so-called civil war still drags its
weary length along, being apparently
no nearer an end than it was some
months ago. At Atua no attempt is
being made on either side to bring
matters to an issue, In the other
direction the Aana rebels have as
ment, who have ascribed their delay
IN making an attack to a desire to
surround the rebels, now appear to be
practically surrounded by the latter.
| About 25O of the rebels left Lefaga a
| few days ago for this side of the
| island, and several of them were at
| Vaimoso last Monday. They spoke OF
| burning the village of that name, but
| allowed themselves to be dissuaded
! from so doing. They. however, went
| down the coast without encounterlng
any opposition and burned a portion
| of the village of Saleimoa. Had the
| Government party promptly made an
| attack after the disaster of the 3D.,
| their task would have been easy; now,
| so much time has been wasted in
! holding fonos, and deciding upon
| what to do, which the enemy become
| apprised of and they retreat before
an attack can be made. Thus when
the Government troops arrived at
| Samatau the rebels had fed and so,
when they were sought at Falelatai il
| was found that they had retreated to
| q strong position between that place
and Lefaga, which they now occupy.
| From positive information to hand it
| appears that their night attack at
| FuailOlO'u resulted in loss to them.
| One man was killed outright and
| five wounded, two of whom have
since died. Their party, however,
| captured thirty-two rifles, six re,
volvers and three hundred rounds of
| ammunition. King Malietoa, who
was at Aana, returned to Apia last
Wednesday, presumably with view
| to holding a conference with the
| European officials. One thing ap-
| pears to be certain and that is that
] neither Aana or Atua will act in any
| great degree upon the offensive.
| It is now absolutely certain that a
| party of the rebels are near Apia.
| Some temporary houses have been
| found erected on the hill at the back
of Apia, and small gangs of the rebels
| have been seen at different times.
| A few days ago number were seen
who were evidently locating the posi-
tion of the roads around Lotopa, aud
on Thursday night party was seen
| near Mamea's house above Motootua.
The alarm was given and some of the
| Government forces were soon in pur
suit, but without success. Yesterday
two parties were out from Apia to
scour the bush in the near neighbor-
hood in hopes of finding the enemy,
but up TO the time of our going to
press nothing had been heard of their
doings.
