NO TROUBLE IN
SAMOAN ISLES
Sensational Reports Not
COrrOborated.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. N.-The following
statement is made by the German off,
cials here:
A press telegram OF the 18th inst from Apia,
In Apia had solenlnly proclaimed the pending
annexation of Upolu and Savaii BY Germany
10 number OF Samoan officials on board the
German man-of-war. and that on the same day
OF the announcement he hoisted the German
flag on the Supreme Court building.
This does not cover the reports received
in Berlin from the German Consul In
Apla and. according 20 the instructions which
he has received from Berlin, II seems absolutely
untrue
The German Consul likewise wired on the
13th inst. but he simply states that certain
Tanu chiefs have refused to pay the head tax
imposed by the three Consuls; hence they had
been ordered to leave the districts by the thir-
teen chiefs. The three Consuls have instructed
the thirteen chiefs 20 send the aggressors to
Apia for trial. This has been agreed upon.
The State Department has had no mes
sage from our Consul at Apia to confirm
the reports Of fresh trouble in Samoa and
this fact is regarded as sufficient to show
that any slight disturbance that may have
occurred has been much exaggerated in
the report.
The officials are confident that whatever
trouble may occur will not be chargeable
TO the German officials. as the German
Government Is quite as anxious as Dur
own that the pending treaty providing
for a permanent settlement of the whole
Samoan question shall not be endangered
at this critical stage.

BANKERS PREDICT
BIG GOLD SHIPMENTS
Certain Firms Assert That the Con-
ditions Indicate That So, 900 900
Will Be Taken.

NEW YORK, Dec. H.-Sterling bankers
predicted to-day numerous gold engage
ments for Saturday, but all said II was
impossible to estimate with accuracy how
much the shipments would amount 10.
One firm reported that IL might ship from
$500 600 10 81 900 900, as to-morrow's require
ments suggested. and in other quarters
II was believed that at least s., 900 900 alto
gether would go out. At present rates the
margin Of profit on gold exports would
be small, IL was said. but the demand for
the metal abroad was sufficient to make
special transactions" profitable at this
time. II was said to-day that Heidelberg
Eichelheimer & Co. and Muller. Sehall q
Co might each ship $500. 900.
A well-known marine underwater said
insurance would be obtainable tomorrow
for as much gold as local bankers cared
TO send by the Etruria. Although s. ,000,-
900 might be large sum TO risk on any
one steamer, twice that liability would
probably be assumed by insurance COM

be explained by a clerical error at the
