ENGL AND HAS STEPPED IN.
Pays Certain Claims to Prevent
Seizure Of Valuable Harbor.
GETS AHEAD OF KAISER.
mander of British Warship
Makes a Treaty with King
George Tubou II.

San Francisco, CAL, May Ga letter
from Tonga, Friendly islands, dated
April 1, says that treaty has been en-
tered into between Great Britain and the
islands.
Last December the German vice-consul
at Samoa made a demand on this gov
eminent for $4,000. the claims being for
debts contracted by Tongans to German
traders. Some of the accounts are thirty
years old.
After consideration the government re-
pudiated these claims. The consul mott
fed the premier that unless the assess
ment was paid Germany would send
large war vessel to seize Navau, which
contains a splendid harbor.
On March the British warship Tau
ranga arrived and her captain held an
interview with King George Tubou II.
1t is said that the King was notifel
that Great Britain considered Germanyt
claim just, but did not propose to let heI
take Vavau or any other part OF this
group, so offered to pay the claims and
protect these little islands that Germany
is so eager to acquire.
1t is not the intention of the British at
this time to annex those islands, COM
prising the Vavau, Haapi and Tonga
groups. The British and King George
have merely formed treaty Of alliance,
offensive and defensive, the German
claims will be paid when presented and
the islands have virtually become de-
tendency of Great Britain.
No Advices at Washington.
Washington, D. c., May 6.-No further
advices have reached the state depart
ment from Samoa, and it is believed that
none will now be had until the Eastern
mail arrives in about five days time.
The commission is due at Apla next
Wednesday and the departments lnfor-
breaks meanwhile.
There is nothing in the reports to the
department tending to sustain the state
ment that United States Consul Osborn
has antagonized the British and Ameri-
cans in Apia by openly adhering to the
German position.
Respecting the reported refusal of the
consul to pay the salary of King Tanu,
although nothing is known of the Details
the disposition is to approve of his action
in that matter. 1t is not known here of
fcially that Mr.. Osborn is acting in any
such capacity as president of the munich
pal council. but in view of the withdrawal
of the German official, DR.. Rafael, who
occupied that position until recently, it is
not improbable that the duties Of the
place may have devolved upon the Ameri
can consul. In view of the questionable
legality of the provisional government
it is believed making payments upon the
salary of the King whose title is called
into question by Germany.

PLAN OF GOVERNMENT.
A GoVernor-G General with Absolute
Veto Power Over Any In
Sular legislative Act

Washington, D. c., May 6.-Aguinal-
Philippines commission have formally ad-
mitted the sovereignty o1t the United
States over the Philippine archipelago.
From member Of the cabinet it was
learned last night that this admission
was made 10 President Schurman at a
conference held by him with Col. Arguel-
les and Lieut.. Bernal several days ago.
1t was in reply to a direct question put
to them by Mr.. Schurman, and the char
acter of the answer was no doubt as
gratifying to the commission as it is to
the President.
Peace Near at Hand.
AS a result of dispatch sent by Mr..
Schurman today, it is the confident ex
pectation Of the President that the end
of the rebellion is close at hand. This
result will not be obtained, though, with
out concessions, which have been recon-
mended by the commission and which,
by direction of the President, will be
granted. These concessions contemplate
giving to the Filipinos a form of govern
ment modelled after that of the United
States.
The member of the cabinet who gave
the above information said that the COM
mission had unanimously adopted rec
OmmendatiOn, which was submitted to
the President in Mr.. Schurman's dis
patch, providing three departments for
the new government of the archipelago-
first, the executive department; second,
the Legislative department, and third, the
judicial department.
Plan of Government.
The executive department. as recon-
mended by the commission. is to consist
Of a governor general, who shall have alb
solute veto power over any acts of the
Legislature, and his ca binet, formed of
leaders among the Filipinos and Ameri-
cans.
The legislative department will be or
ganiZed as a result Of granting s,rffra pe
to Eilipinos having proper qualifications.
The President will be empowered to
appoint the members of the judiciary.
just as he will be empowered to appoint
the governor general.
Sent by Aguinaldo.
What the cabinet officer regarded as
the best feature of the whole matter was
the acceptance of the commissions proD-
osition by the Filipino cnyoys. Further
more, it was learned that before the sub
mission of this proposition to them they
had asserted that they did not represent
Gen. Luna, but that they represented
AguinaldO.
1t is believed that the presentation of
the commissions proposition was in com
pliance with the request of the Filipinos.
who desired to know what the glittering
promises made by the United States real
~ meant.
The first proposition made by them to
the commission was that already report
ed-for the adoption Of an armistice. dur
ing which time the Filipinos proposed to
call together their Congress and through
that body arrange for peace. The prop
osition was refused without considera-
ton.

many rotten eggs, hurled by strikers and
their sympathizers, but he escaped from
the melee without serious injury.

iuctor. He was knocked senseless and
was taken to a hospital, where he lies
unconscious. His name has not been
ascertained. Others were hurt by brok-
