TROUBLE BREWING IN SAMOA.
A Son OF Tanasesa Leading . Movement
Against Mafietoa.

NEW York, Feb. pa special from
Washington City says: More trouble is
brewing in Samoa According to official
advices recently received here a son of
Tamasese, one of the former kings OF Samoa
is leading q movement against Maliesoa.
He IS said TO have large following of
natives who are rebeilious, not so much
against the immediate rulers as against
the tripartita government. which controls
affairs or the islands. When the
Mataafa adherents surrendered last fall
and were transferred 10 one of the islands
Of the Marshall group il was hoped there
would be no further trouble in Samoa, al
though the present administration never
felt very confident that affairs on the
island will run along smoothly and peace
ably until some other form of government
prevails.
II is said negotiations are now in prog-
ress between the United States. Great
Britain and Germany tor modification of
the Berlin treaty. but 1t Is not known
what the proposed changes are. President
Cleveland took occasion in his annual
message to note his disapproval of the ex-
listing tripartite. Great Britain and
Germany are likewise dissatisfied. and
would probably like change as much as
this government, and the unfortunate ma
tiyes are even more anxious for another
form of government than any of the other
parties concerned.

He Says He Will Prove His Innocence
When the Proper Time Comes.

New YORK, Feb. % --Gen. Tracey said
tonight that he had been busy all day
looking over the indictments and examin-
ing the papers relating to charges made by
Dun against Wiman, and tomorrow will
endeavor to have his client released on
bail. Wiman promises TO speak when his
turn comes. and 1t is expected that he will
then give another color to the story al
ready told Of the alleged forgery. He says
he has committed no crime, but only did
what was right TO do by reason Of his bust
ness relations with the mercantile agency.
Beyond this assertion Wiman declines to
discuss the allegations made by Dun until
he Is perfectly prepared to make . public
statement of facts concerning the charges
against him.
Contrary to the custom In the cases Of
distinguished prisoners, no favors were
shown Wiman when locked in the Tombs
last night. In fact, he was given quar-
tiers in Murderers' row. In answer to o
note sent in this morning by newspaper
acquaintance asking for q statement, he
sent out the following reply: 81 would be
very glad to do 50, but under the advice Of
Gen. Tracey, my counsel, will make no
statement till my turn comes. When the
ammunition of the moving powers against
me is exhausted and their hired men have
done arraigning me in the newspapers,
then will be my time for speaking" The
warden says he passed q good night, bear
Ing up bravely under his troubles. His
son visited him this morning. After
coming out he said his father would not
try TO get bail today. as it was holiday,
but would probably arrange for it tomor-
row. The impression is that no is not
an ious TO get bail.
