APIA, Samoa, Oct. 6.-The aspect of af-
fairs il Samoa is. indeed, far from reas-
suriug. There is trouble brewing, and it
will come soon if the three powers Do not
come quickly to the aid of the Govern
ment and the distracted officials. The
three Consuls who were left here as q
provisional government by the Commits

means a bed of roses. 1t is a matter OF
report that the feeling between the mem
berS OF the provisional government is
strained; thai is. if President Sof is con-
sidered as a part of the Government.
Since last mail trouble arose at Aleipata,
in Atua. The Saleaula natives went there
and had feast in their honor. AT the dis
tribution Of food some little disagreement
arose. Tuisila, the chief of Mutiatele, was
not present, but was in his Cwn village,
adjoining that where the feast was held.
When he was Informed Of the dispute he
got up walked over to the feast and de-
hberately struck a man in the face. The
man turned to run, as Tulsila is hlsh
shooting his own brother while he was
engaged in putting a child to sleep. Since
that time he has gone about surrounded
by an armed bodyguard, as his brother $
family has sworn vengeance. When the
man turned his back TuiSila drew q re-
volver and shot him dead, and then did
the same to another.
A chief of the same rank yelled that
Tuisila should be slain. He was then
rushed upon and severely wounded on the
head and the body by axes and knives.

done for him. He returned TO his village
and there died.

late advices received here, that there are
5000 Filipino troops, we'll equipped With
artillery, concentrated at Tarlac. This
is supposed to be Aguinaldo's present
headquarters.
At Bambam there are said to be about
5000 insurgents. This is in line with Mac
Arthur's advance, and, unless the opera
tions of General Lawton at San lsidro
have drawn the forces from that direc-
ton, General Macarthur also may meet
with considerable resistance. 1t was said
a the War Department to-day that the
forces Of these two divisions would be
augmented as rapidly as the new troops
arrive and that every town taken of any
value would be garrisOned and held. AL
though General Lawton has started out
with only thirty days supplies there is
no expectation that he viii have to re-

BERLIN, Oct. 20.-The Berliner Neueste
Nachrichten learns from Washington that
the American Government, tired of Con-
tinental troubles regarding Samoa, and
determined to put an end to them, has
proposed a division of the islands. The
United States Government proposed that
she should take Tutuila and Manua, that
Germany should take UpOlu and that
England should take Savaii and Rose

thought the pool room man had been at
great expense in defending himself in court
when arrested for conducting a banking
game and had not received proper sup
port from the townspeople.
DR.. Crumpton was irate at this report
and declared that as Broyer and Glynn
had an interest in the firm $500 should
be paid. Discord has since ruled and the
town is unit on the proposition of col
lecting the revenue. 1t is probable a spe-
cial meeting Of the board will be called
to grapple with the problem. AS Sylvia
controls two satellites in the board he will
probably have his way, whether the town
