SAMOAN AFFAIRS UNSETTLED

Made a Decision.
LATE NEWS FROM THE ISLANDS
Warfare-The Provisional Govern
ment Not q Success.

Apia, Samoa. via San Francisco,
March 10.-Four weeks have elapsed
since the last mail dispatches left here
for San Francisco concerning the out
break of civil war between the ad-
herents OF Malietoa Tanus and those Of
Mataafa. During this time Samoa has
been free from any active warfare.
The provisional government under Ma
taafa has not been a success. 1t has
estranged the feelings of many of Its
own supporters by the deportation of
the Malietoa chiefs and the banishing
from Apia of all male Samoan adults
who were OH Malietoa's side. All
Malietoa's adherents who were not de-
ported have been fined, and inoffen-
sive natives. the servants of whites,
who had been in no way connected
with the fighting. have been arrested.
a sharp romonstrance from British
Consul Maxse, who now has two men,
of-war supporting him. has prevented a
recurrence Of this annoyance. The
natives of Tutuila have declared in
favor of Tanus, and the deported chiefs
are having pleasant picnic among
friends.
Malietoa seems to be gaining
strength every day, and several of Ma
taafa's chief adherents have gone over
to his side. There are not much more
than one-half the people on Mataafa's g
side, and it is doubtful if more than
one-third of the population are his ac-
tive supporters.

Hong Kong, via San Francisco,
March l2.--In an interview John Bar
rett, late United States MINISTER to
Siam, who is passing through Hong
Kong, en- route home, said:
This collision of forces at Manila is
the most disastrous thing that could
have happened to the Filipino cause
Of independence, and they them selves,
that is the leading representatives of
Aguinaldo here and members of the
so-called junta. realize it and cannot at
the moment understand it, They have
come to me almost with tears in their
eyes asking for details of the conflict,
and seeking some legitimate explana-
tion and excuse for the reported begin
ming of the fray by the natives. Tele-
grams have been pouring in on them
from their agents in America and
Europe asking for the Filipino side Of
the story.
The long continuance of the fight
ing they say would be accounted for
by the masses of Filipino soldiers prac-
tically being beyond all control of Off
GERS after the battle had really begun,
and being inspired with the blind hope
OF driving the American soldiers into
Manila, as they had formerly the Span
iards.
"Now that the treaty is ratified right
after the reckless opening of hostilities,
the Filipino leaders are almost dumb
founded, and are completely at loss
as to thoir future policy. They can
didly admit that the worst blow posi-
BILE has been struck at their prospects.
One even confessed to me that the very
best thing that they could do now was
to disband, disarm and quietly yield to
American control. trusting that full
Justice would eventually be done them.
AS he is man of high standing, hope
his influence may count with Aguinal-
do and his followers"

EmplOye of Power-HOuse.
New York, March 12.-Joseph Ham
pei, an employe of the Lexington
avenue cable power house, while work
ing at his switch board received and
survived an electric shock of about
1000 volts. The mans body was
badly burned from head to foot, every
stitch of clothing was torn from him,
and he fell senseless through hole in
simultaneously burned in the floor by
the terrific electrical power. The doc
tors who attended him say there is no
case on record of man withstanding
similar shock. The accident was
caused through Hampel trying to tight
en- loose screw on the switch board,
and in some way creating circuit.
The enormous power of the shock may
be judged from the fact that until the
circuits were readjusted all the cars of
the road were brought to standstill.

the territory west of the Missouri river.
The total number taking passage on
the first excursion train for the prom

ets and a third as many half-fare tick
cts for children in the families. Near

Many of the parties were from points
east of Chicago, but the majority were
