Plain Talk on Vice and immortality.

The meeting exclusively for men, as
advertised in THE STAR last week, was
held in the M. r. church Sunday after
noon and was attended by a large crowd.
Evangelist Heath delivered q very
forcible address on the vices and
immoralities of the present times. He
handled the truth with ungloyed hands.
While some of the charges he brought
against the male portion of the human
race were terrible, yet they are facts
that no one can gainsay. Many in the
large audience were apparently, great
ly impressed with the statements made
by the Evangelist.

Foreign Consuls Ask Their

Vessels.
King Malietoa in Constant Fear
of Attack by Mataafa's
Adherents.
Hostilities Temporarily Checked by
the English, German and Ameri.
can Representatives..

APIA, SAMOA, Feb. 24.-If all Samoa
knew thing which is known by three
gentlemen in white clothes there would
surely be war. These three men in ducks
are the three Consuls, and it is easy to tell
them apart by their hats.
The United States Consul General wears
white cap like Colonel Waring White
wings in New York; the English Con-
sui goes around in a white helmet like
that worn by the hot-tempered uncle in
the play, who comes back from India
without his liver, and the German Consul
wears . black Derby, for no reason that
any one can discover except, possibly, that
he is Dutch. But the important matter is
what is going on under those three hats.
If King Malietoa knew certainly that
the three Consuls had sent for warships
by this mail he would surely declare war
against the rebels. for it is always the
Governments policy not to fight until
convinced that the three powers will do
the practical work. If, on the other hand.
the rebel chiefs knew that tho three Con-
suls had not sent for ships-of-war they
would attack the Government at once,
and with strong hopes OF success.
The three Consuls never talk much
about what they have in mind. and just
now, like the Tar Baby, they lies dun
keep on saying muffin"
The causes for the present great war
feeling are two. Last month the Govern
ment asked the Consuls to permit the
return of some of the chiefs who
are now in exile in Jaluit for their COM
plicity in the last war.
What answer the consuls gave the Gov
srnment, as usual, nobody knows; but

the rebel chiefs let it be known that If any
OF the exiles returned and left ex-King
Matafa in exile, the Government and the
three powers might count on having q
scrap on hand.
This in itself was enough to make war
likely, but the chance Of fighting was
greatly increased by the act of the rebels
islands of Manono and Apolima and driv.
ing out all OF the inhabitants. This caus e
OF war will particularly interest Ameri-
cans because OF depredations committed
upon American property.
Foster Cluff OF Thatcher, Ariz.. Is In
charge OF the Mormon mission at Lalovi,
in the desolated district. The rebels took
all OF the property out of his house, stole
the communion vessels from the church
and by way of special indignity used the
latter for cookhouse. The president of
the Mormon mission has complained to
Consul-General Churchill, who has pro-
tested against the outrage 10 the King and
Government of Samoa.
From these circumstances war has been
brewing for the last few weeks and NAV
break out at any moment. The King and
Government have been in nightly terror
of an attack upon Mulinuu, the capital,

about Apia are under arms.
