correspondence OF the United Press was
received to-day per the steamer Alemeda:
Apia, Samoa March 27.-The rebels are
still making preparations for war. They
are building boats filling cartridges and

of the conflict has not yet occurred. There
is no doubt about the fact that they have
decided TO pay the poll tax. only to their
own elected chiefs, and that any attemp.
to coerce them win be in effect the spark
Of Ignition. No one believes 10 possible TO

between the parties and the only wonder
IS that the hurricane season has been per-
mltted to pass over without raid by the

A LOCKOUT INSTEAD OF A STRIKE.
Cotton Mill Hands Find the Company
Had FOrestaIIed Them.

Providence, r. l., April 11.-When the
z,5oO operatives of the Atlantic mills at
Olneyville went to work at 6:45 o'clock this
morning intending, according to the pre-
gramme to labor fifteen minutes and then
so out on strike. they discovered that
their plans had been forestalled by the
managers. Signs were posted on the gates
noutying the operatives that the mills
would be closed until further notice.
Al Oclock the strikers held a meeting
ana discussed the outlook. A vigilance
committee OF twenty-five was appointed to
guard the vicinity OF the mills ana keep
on the lookout for non-unlon men. Other
committees were appointed TO arrange for
sOclals and entertainments in the manu-
4acturlns centers Of the state for the pur-
pose OF accommodating funds for the support
OF the non-union strikers.
The United States Cotton Company of
central Falls to-day announced an ad
vance TO the old rates on April 2. This is
an increase Of 5 to 10 per cent, applies 20
both mills and affects $50 hands.
Lowell, Mass, April 1.-THE Sterling
woolen mills were shut down to-day be
cause Of a strike Of the spinners. about 70
IN number for an advance in wages. The
WeaNers We're recently given a restoration
OF the 10 per cent. reduction OF last fall
and per cent. additional. The spinners
demanded a similar advance and, being
refused, struck this morning.
Fall River Mass, April 1.-THE state
ments made at the WeaVers' headquarters
last night relating to an advance in wages
by the American Linen Company We're not
we'll founded. The mill authorities said
this morning that no advance had been
granted and none would be granted at
present.
The iron works companys advance was
an exciting topic of discussion among
mill men to-day. The fact as stated in
the morning papers that 1t was no phil
Gnthropic measure, is proved beyond ques-
tiOn, but nevertheless it is a business
move that has raised the highest hopes
in the minds of the operatives. The sec
retaries Of the unions say special meetings
will be called at an early date and formal
demands will be made for a restoration
of the cut down in wages made last Au-
gust. II the demand is not granted, the
operatives will not work. Manufacturers
are at odds in regard to the action of the
iron works company. One Of the leading
ones says the advance is a bluff to bun
the market, and If wages are increased
all around they will only be assisting in
moving the large block of goods now held
by the American Printing Company and
the iron works mills. He thinks the man
who raises wages in these times is insane,
for the margin is too small to admit of
any change IN the scale. Another manu-
facturer says the iron works has made
a new rate and nothing is left for them
but to make the same one.

were Issued and bring the perpetrators OF
the fraud to justice.
