A SAMOAN BATTLE.
APIA BURNED AND MANY WAR
RlORS KILLED.
Trouble Caused by High Handed Course of
Greman onicials Who Depose the Chief
Justice and Incited tho Rebellion.

Auckland, n. H., Jan. 90.-Samoan
advices just received here say that
Chief Justice Chambers, on December
81, declared Malietoa Tanus to have
been elected king, in succession to the
late King Malietoa. The chief justice
also announced that Tamasese had
been elected vice king. Chief Mataafa
was disqualified.
The consuls of the United States and
Great Britain and the captains of the
German warship Fake and the British
warship Porpoise met the German con
sui, who refused to recognize Malietoa
Tanus, and declined to cooperate in
the disposal of the Samoans, who,
thereupon assembled in large numbers
at Mulinu, armed themselves and sur
rounded the municipality. Malietoa
Tanus and Tamasese mustered about
1000 men, well armed, but supplied
with defective ammunition. The
British and American consuls endeav-
ored to avert hostilities, but they
were commenced on January /. Ma
lietoa Tanus and Tamasese fought
bravely, but 500 of their followers
were captured. Then, disheartened
and outnumbered, the two chiefs
sought refuge on the British warship,
and their followers sought protection
under the guns of the Porpoise,
Mataafa's loss was sixty-one men
killed and wounded, and Malietoe Ia
nus lost twelve men killed and wound
ed.
The foreign residents were placed
under the protection of detachment
of men belonging to the British ship,
and Chief Justice Chambers and family
went on board of her.
The followers of Mataafa looted and
burned Apia, destroyed the plantations
and pillaged considerably in the coun-
try.
The consuls decided to recognize Ma
taafa and his chiefs as a provisional
government, pending the receipt of
instructions from the powers.
Afterward, Dr. Rafael and the Ger
man consul closed the supreme court,
declaring that the power was vested in
them. The British and American con-
suls then appealed to the captain of
the British ship Porpoise, who landed
force of blue Jackets, and Chief Jus,
tice Chambers, under their guard, took
his seat.
Mataafa held aloof from these last
developments. The excitement con,
tinues.

Captain Eaton was forced to recog-
nize the insult and ordered Naval
Cadet Narrant and Marine officer
Thrope, with a file of marines, into a
steam launch which speedily overlook
the Spaniards The captain refused to
obey the order to lower the flag, where
upon the marines went aboard and
took forcible possession of the Spanish
flag, leaving the Cuban flag flying at
the masthead. The occupants of the
schooner were then compelled to give
three cheers for the Cuban and Amer
lean flags, after which the vessel was
allowed to proceed. The captured flag
will be held as a prize.

A MISCHIEF MAKER.
German Consul Is Responsible For the
Recent Samoan Troubles.

London, Jan. 21.-A special from
Auckland \. H., says the British and
American consuls were compelled to
force the doors of the supreme court
at Apia, Samoa, in which the German
consul had established himself, and
to push him into the street. All par
ties at Apia unite in condemning the
German consul for the fighting which
has taken place between the rival
kings 1t is pointed out that in viola
tion of all agreements, the consul ac-
companied Mataafa's force, when the
claimant invaded the town and en-
couraged the opposition to Malietoa
Tanus.
Further particulars regarding the
disturbances at Samoa show Mataafa's S
followers numbered about 5000 men,
and that the adherents of Malietoa
Tanus We're only about 1000 There
was two hours fighting between the
rival forces, during which several of
the warriors We're decapitated The
American Consul issued n proclama-
tion, claiming that the Berlin treaty
had the same force as law of con
gress, and that an insult to the SUI
preme court of Samoa, is, therefore,
equivalent TO an insult to the govern,
ment at Washington.

Gravity.
Washington, Jan. 20.-The situation
in the Samoan islands is realized here
to be full of gravity. For some time
past there has been an exchange of
correspondence between the govern
ments, parties to the treaty of Berlin,
respecting choice of successor to
the late King Malietoa, and some fric-
tion developed owing to the strict
adherence OF the United States
government to the terms of the treaty
The statements in the dispatch from
Apia are not regarded here as con-
elusive for the reason that they are
in conflict with the provisions of the
treaty.
If, as reported, Rafael, the president
of the municipal council at Apia, and
the German consul, Rose, have seized
the supreme court, and pronounced
themselves practical dictators, it is
said they have violated the treaty alb
solutely.
