San Francisco Call
The barkentine City of Papeete, which
arrived from Tahiti on Thursday. brought
the news that Queen Mamea. who ruled
the native side OF the island OF Raiatea,
in the Tahiti group, has surrendered.
Ever since the French took the Islands
in 1919. half OF the natives OF Raiatea
have rebelled against foreign rule. They
built an immense stone fence over the
island from one side TO the other, al
lowing the natives who obeyed the
French to live on one side Of the Island,
while they lived on the other. The
French have long desired to possess the
island. but Queen MameR rather than
give In to them has made offers to
her side OF the island to the Americans,
British and Germans through their con-
suls at Tahiti, but the offers nave at
all times been refused. A few months
ago a French gunboat appeared at the
island and the queen found herself sur
rounded and compelled to surrender.
The native flag was hauled down n
the tricolor raised and the long trouble
was ended. The surrender was made
on March 9 last, shortly before the City
OF Papeete sailed.
Queen Mamea is a young girl. only .
years old. and not an old woman, as has
been stated. Her subjects are not fierce
and uncivilized, but peaceable and hos
pitable. She will receive about 1000
francs from the French government for
her Observation-Disclosures
