THE SITUATION In SAMOA
The Mataafans Keep Back of the
ssDead Line.'' but Strengthening their
POsitiOn-Tanu d. factO King

Apia, Samoa, May 10, via San Fran
cisco, June 3.-Since Admiral Kautzs
proclamation of April 23rd, directing
Mataafa and his following to keep be-
hind certain defined limits around Apia,
the prescribed district covering an area
Of twelve miles long and six miles
broad and which was followed by a no.
tificatiOn to Mataafa that unless the
rebels were outside the prescribed linn
its in twenty-four hours fire would be
opened upon them wherever they could
be reached, there has been no conflict
with the rebels.
Captain Sturdee and her majestys
ship Porpoise, accompanied by Rev.
William Huckett, Of the London Mis-
sionary Society, as interpreter, paid
the rebel camp at Falenta visit the
day following, and, in order to avoid
mistakes in the future, went over the
boundary line with several Mataafan
chiefs, who promised to keep the peace
until the commission had time to act
The district which the rebels have
evacuated is quite large enough to
supply food to the Malietoans in Apia,
and thus one of the great difficulties
of the naval authorities has been OBJ
waited. Since the rebels went to Fa-
lenta, strong patrol of 700 or 800 men
daily make the round, seeing that all
IS quiet and that no lOOting Or damage
is done by Malietoa's followers.
Mataafa is building forts inland Of
the town of Falenta and his followers
stoutly declare that even if the commits
sion is unanimous against him, he will
never acknowledge Tanu as king and
will fight to the bitter end.
The assertions may be only talk, but
the question of the kingship does not
seem to lie within the scope of the COM
, mission. Tanu was publicly crowned
by the American and British authori-
ties and was saluted with royal honors
, by the Philadelphia and the Tauranga
on the occasion of his coronation and
of his formal visit at the warships
since the armistice has been in force
His chiefs and Tamasese, the vice king,
are carrying ON the government in a
way that performs all the functions Of
a good and stable government and they
are in possession. Tanu is king de fac
to as we'll as de jure. In addition there
are now in Apia $500 male adults car
rying 2,700 rifles, supporting him This
means that absolutely half Of Apia is
at present supporting Tanu as king Of
Samoa
In the meantime, the rebels are
strengthening their positions, sending
out messengers for their sympathizers
to come and join them and are busily
engaged manufacturing cartridges

of hacking cough that for many

praises throughout the Universe :"
