The alleged American intrigues in
Samoa which have caused Germany to
send two cruisers and a despatch boat
TO the islands are unknown in this
country, but the incident will probably
enc in Germany taking full possession

fate for the islanders but it will be
better than the state of anarchy which
Is said to prevail in Samoa at present.
