MORE WAR IN SAMOA.
AMERICAN AND BRITISH WARsHIPs
 SHELL THE REBELS.

Many of Them Killed by the ships
 Fire Into the Jungle-German Con-
 suI UphoIds Matnsfa-Joint High
 Commission to Settle the Question.
 Advices from Apia dated March 2S say that the troubles growing out of the election of king of Samoa have taken more serious turn and resulted in a bombardment of native villages along the shore by the United States cruiser Philadelphia, Admiral Kautz command ing, and the British cruisers Porpoise and Royalist. The bombardment has continued intermittently for eight days. Several villages have been burned. and there have been a number of casual ties among the American and British sailors and marines. As yet 1t Is inn possible to estimate the number of na- tives killed or injured
 Rear Admiral Kautz's official report of the disturbance is as follows:
 "Mataafa people obeyed orders to leave government reservation. Since then have become aggressive. killing Private Holloway and three British sailors. Our man killed guarding Amer lean consulate. German consul general issued incendiary proclamation, saying that my proclamation was untrue and he should uphold provisional govern ment. The British forces act in concert with the United States smelling rebels where (they) can be reached"
 It is not likely that this new develop ment will result in international compll- cations, although 1t brings affairs to a crisis.
 It Is said in Washington and confirm cd in London that joint high commits moan question. Germany proposed this action. King oscar of Sweden will be umpire In case the commission, which will probably be composed of three members, disagrees.
 The statement Is made in a we'll in- formed quarter that 1t is altogether likely that the joint high commission. by virtue of the plenary powers vested In its individual members. will be able to conclude settlement of the Samoan question satisfactory to all the powers concerned, and that there is an under standing between the three powers that almost certainly will prevent any disa- greement such as would make 1t neces- sary to ask King Oscar of Sweden and Norway to act as umpire. The peaceful solution of this delicate question, full of possibilities of serious trouble, Is re- garded as a triumph of diplomacy and as furnishing the strongest kind of evi- dence of a desire on the part of Germa- ny as we'll as of the other two powers to maintain the most amicable rela- tiona

EIGHTY LIVES LOST.
Steamer Wrecked In a Fog In the
 English Channel.


 The passenger steamer Stella was wrecked in the English channel on Thursday with a loss of 80 lives.
 The Stella was a fast twin screw pleasure boat and was inaugurating a series of cheap daylight excursion trips It was at first estimated that she had on board 210 persons. including pas sengers and crew. The coincidence is recalled that on Good Friday two years ago the steamer Ibex, belonging to the same company. was wrecked on the Corbiere rocks.
 The Stella was due at Jersey at 2 o'clock Thursday evening. After leav- ing Southampton she had fine weather until 3:30 o'clock, when a sudden fog appeared over the sea. Captain Reeks mistook 1t for a mere fog bank and steamed ahead at full speed in order to get through 1t quickly. At <:s0 the Casquets loomed suddenly out of the fog, and in another instant the vessel crashed upon the rocks. The vessel was going at full speed. 20 knots an hour. when she struck. Captain Reeks and the first mate stood on the bridge giving orders to the last and went down with the ship.
 The second mate was the only ofiicer or the Stella who was saved. E.
 The coasting steamer Lynx picked up four boats and 70 survivors. Another steamer picked up boat containing b5 persons. including 20 women. The Great Western Railroad company's steamer Vera picked up 40 others of the sur vivors and landed them at Guernsey. Eight of those saved were picked off a floating furniture van by a fishing boat. The tug Marsouin also picked up a boat containing eight of the passengers.
 The passengers all say that perfect order and discipline prevailed on board the Stella. The crew promptly took up their stations when the steamer struck, served out the life belts and lowered the boats. .
 The disaster is generally attributed 10 the high speed at which the steamer was travelling in the foG.

She trained 8 little rose to grow
 And grace the gate above. And hence love the pathway 90 s That leads me to her love. And oft my heart before me goes To read the love sign of the rose. Though fairer bloom for lovers tryst To me it seems as fair As if an angels lips had kissed
 And blessed 1t, blooming there. For heaven its sweetest smile bestows On the dear love sign of the rose. The pattering of little feet, When shadows blur the light, And rosy twining arms that meet
 And necklace me at night These my glad heart enraptured knows At the dear love sign of the rose. Not far away loves steps shall stray In thorny paths to roam, While OCT the meadows of life's May Shine signals sweet of home. When night falls drear. one heart stil
 knows Rest at the love sign of the rose. Frank L.. Stanton in Atlanta Constitution.
