GERMANS PREFER ANARCHY
The Chief Justice Of the Islands
. Has the Right to Appoint
the New King

The death of Malietoa, the Samoan
King, has naturally caused much trou-
bic in the group, and advices from
Apia, received by the Alameda yester-
day, indicate that the difficulty is by
no means at an end. Apart from the
fact that there are some half dozen ma
tive claimants to the throne, including
Moli, the Kings brother, Tamasese,
the rebel chief, and others, the stu
alton is complicated by friction between
the representatives Of the three treaty
powers.
Z AS usual. the Germans have assumed
the aggressive, and the British and
american Consuls have united in pro-
test, just as they did a few months
ago, when the President of the Munich
pal Council, German, sought to exer-
else arbitrary power. In this instance

HAVANA, Sept. 21.-The American
commission held long session in the
salon of the Trocha this afternoon, at
which replies were prepared to the
Spanish propositions regarding evacua-
ton and the Comal. These will be
sent to the Spanish commission to-mor-
row morning. The propositions in re-
gard to the Comal are not final and
further correspondence is expected, but
the Americans are likely to stick to
the original request that Havana shall
be the place of debarkation.
Regarding evacuation dates for the
beginning and ending of troop move
ments they are far from those sug-
gested in the Spanish document, from
which the reply differs in many vital
respects. The tone of the American
communication shows the commissions
determination to lose as little time as
possible, and insists on prompt action.

gas; that the surrounding plantations
were idle, many simply from lack Of
oxen and other means of cultivation.
Poverty was manifest on every side,
and the officers had to take refuge at

descriptions asking for aims.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Mgr Martin
ELI, the apostolic delegate in Washing
ton, yesterday received a cablegram from
Cardinal Rampolla informing him that
the Bishop of New Segovia, Philippine
Islands, and several Catholic priests had
been arrested by the insurgents and were
imprisoned and being cruelty treated by
their captors. Cardinal Rampolla d.
rected Mgr. Martinelli to lay the case be-
fore the War Department with a request
that some action, If possible, be taken
to protect the prisoners from harm
Mgr. Martinelli presented the facts as
communicated to him to Secretary Mel
klejohn and urged that the department
communicate with General Otis, in COM
mand of the American forces in Manila.
with view to affording relief to the
captured priests
In compliance with the request. Sec
rotary Meiklejohn directed that General
Otis be informed of the situation of the
priests and asked to protect them from
bad treatment If they were in his juris-
diction.
In response to this order General Otis
cabled the department to-day as follows:

HAS SWEEPING PROVISIONS
SECRETARY GoRMAN MAKES A
DISCOVERY.
Says That Were the Measure Adopted
the Board Would Be Displaced
by the Proposed Court
of Claims.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

SACRAMENTO, Sept 21.-J. C. Cor
man, secretary of the State Board of
Examiners, claimed tonight to have
discovered that the effect of constitu-
tional amendment No. 3, to be voted on
in November next, will be to abolish
the Board of Examiners, and throw the
business affairs of the various branches
OF government into. chaos. ..-...,..s,
The amendment provides for the Gre
alton of court of claims, to consist
of any three Judges of the Superior
Court who may be required to hold
court at the regular terms thereof,
which shall be once every four months,
at Los Angeles, San Francisco and
Sacramento. German asserts that the
purpose of the court, as contemplated
by the lawmakers, was to relieve the
Legislature of such ancient claims as
the Jordan bill and thus facilitate leg
islation. But the amendment sweep
ingly provides that the court of
claims shall have exclusive jurisdic-.
ton to hear and determine all claims
Of every kind and character against the
State which, of course, means the
claims of all State offices and institu-
tons now passed on by the Board of
Examiners.
German declares that in order to han
die these claims, which accumulate
with amazing rapidity, the Board of
Examiners is obliged to meet from five
to ten times each month and the claims
often number 1900 month He de-
clares that If the bills are to wait over
for four months, the court of claims
will be swamped with them and will
find 1t impossible to scrutinize them
with the care allowable under the ex-
listing system. Moreover Secretary
German asserts that contractors who
furnish supplies to the various State
institutions and offices will figure on
having to wait four and probably eight
months for their money, and they will
charge the State correspondingly
higher prices.
Secretary German asserts that the
farreaching effect of the proposed
amendment had not before been sus-
pected. and he was confident that he
was the only member of the Board Of
Examiners who had discovered the i'm
port of the measure and foreseen the
confusion into which it is bound to
plunge the business affairs of the State
If adopted.

1t is well understood in Apia that the
German officials do not wish to see an
other Samoan King appointed. They
prefer rather a state of anarchy, which
would provide them with continual ex-
cuses for pressing their claim to the
possession of the group. However,
they cannot override the Berlin treaty,

shows, they are bound in this matter
to abide by the decision of the Amer

manage to elect a King, even by a
small majority, Mr.. Chambers will af-
firm his sovereignty and things will go
on just as hitherto. There will always,
of course. be a rebel party, but in the
