GERMAN FLAG NOT BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN
HOIsTED YET.
Washington Dec 2-The following statement is
made by the German authorities here:
A press telegram of the 18th inst. from Apia via
Auckland reports that the German Consul In Apia
has soemnly proclaimed the pending annexation Of
Cpolu and SavaN by Germany 10 n number Of
Samoan chiefs board the German man-of-war
and that on the same day he hOsted the German
flag on the Supreme Court building This report
does not cover the reports received I'm Berlin from
the German Consul In Apia. and according TO the
instructions which he has received from Berlin IL
seems 20 be absolutely untrue
The German Consul has likewise wired on the
18th Inst, but he simply states that certain Tanu
chiefs have refused pay the head tax imposed nv
the three consuls: hence they had been ordered 10
leave the district by the thirteen chiefs The three
consuls have instructed tho thirteen chiefs IN send
the aggressors 10 Apla for trial This has been
agreed upon.
The state Department has had no message from
tho United States Consul at Apa TO confirm the re-
ports Of fresh trouble IN Samoa and this fact is re-
garded as sufficient 10 show that any slight dis
turbance that may have occurred has been greatly
exaggerated In the report. The officials are conf
dent that whatever trouble may occur will not he
chargeable TO the German officials as the German
government IL quite as anxious IL the United
States that the pending treaty providing for a per
manent settlement OF the whole Samoan question
shall not be endangered at this critical stage
