Samoan Situation.

APIA, Samoa, Oct. 9.-(Per steamer
Mariposa, via San Francisco)-T
political situation here remains I'M
changed, the rebel party maintaining
a defiant attitude and refusing to pay
taxes. The loyal party make this
failure an excuse for the non-payment
of their own taxes and public funds
are low.
Several of the native rebels have
been making trouble and refusing to
allow foreign claimants who have had
tracts of land awarded to them by the
land commission and the supreme
court to occupy such land. Warrants
have been issued for the arrest Of
the offenders but it will not be posi-
BILE to enforce such warrants unless
the assistance of the foreign Warships
is granted.
The important case of Wellman,
against the National Bank of New Zea-
many thousands of acres of valuable
land in Samoa, has just been decided
by Chief Justice Ide after a lengthy
trial The property involved is the
so-called American land claims, which
have been a subject of controversy for
twenty years or more. The decision
holds the American claims to be the
first in right and secured all the lands
to the plaintiffs, provided their inter
ests to be proven by further evidence
are sufficient to absorb all the lands,
but if the property is more than suf-
! fcient to satisfy all American claims,
then the surplus is to go to the de-

TIN SOLDIERS IN TROUBLE.

CHICAGO, Oct. ga special dis
patch from New Orleans says:
A great deal Of chagrin has been
caused in local militia circles when an
ambitious new policeman appeared in
the police court and swore out affida-
Wits against the leading officers of the
state militia for discharging fire arms
within the city limits last Sunday.
The occasion Of this breach of the
law was a sham battle fought at the
lower city park, in which almost the
entire militia of the state engaged.
1t was given to raise funds for the
monument now being erected to Cen
eral Beauregard; the leading Confed-
crate general from this state.
The battle was big success, but
by an oversight the mayors permis-
sion was not secured. The policemen
were backed by Judge Aucoin, of the
record court, and today affidavits we're
made against seventeen officers. Colo
mel l.. c. Quintero of the governors
staff was one of the first against whom
affidavits were sworn. Among others
included in the list are: General Glinn,
the ranking officer in the state; Gem
eral E. Borland, commanding the First
brigade; six captains, two lieutenants,
three colonies. five majors and pri-
vate, who was accidentally wounded.
The troops are highly indignant and
the whole city is enjoying the situa-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The cable
reports that a Russian fleet of fifteen
vessels was on it's way to Corea at
tracted much attention among the dip
iomatic representatives of the east to
which it was shown. 1t is regarded as
presenting grave conditions, if the facts
as reported are true. The fact that
Fusan is one of the points toward
which the Russians are heading is
pointed out as specially significant, Flu
san is at the southeasterly extremity
of Corea and is the point nearest to ia
pan, being only twelve hours sail from
the japanese mainland. Further north
is Won San, the stragetic point in Co
rea, which the Russians have long
sought to secure. 1t is on Broughtons
bay, in the middle of the east of Corea.
The bay is the only useful harbor in
the stretch of 600 miles along the east
coast of Corea. The harbor is perfect
ly sheltered and is open the year round.
Leading authorities agree that it will
ultimately be the terminus of the trans
Siberian railway which Russia is build
ing.
For these reasons, the movement of
the Russian fleet toward these points
of stragetic Importance is watched with
keen interest
