The startling news from Samoa, cabled
to this country from Auckland, whittier
the intelligence had been sent by the usu-
al mail advices, indicates that a serious
clash has taken place between the official
representatives of Great Britain and the
United States and the native adherents of
Mataafa. The followers Of Mataafa, af-
ter having refused to dispense in accord
ance with the demands of the English and
American officials, attempted to make q
demonstration against the British and
American consulates. From the fact that
the commanders of the British and the
American warships, the Porpoise and the
Philadelphia, felt justified in Smelling the
natives who engaged in the demonstra-
tion, 1t is to be assumed that the provo
cation offered by Mataafa's followers was
extreme.
According to the Auckland dispatches,
the chief supporting King Mataafa hav.
ing refused to abide by the terms of the
tripartite treaty, and continuing to defy
them despite the representations of the
agents OF the United States and Great
Britain, Admiral Kautz, the American
naval commander, convened a meeting Of

Troops-Aguinaldo Escapes.
Malolos. the Filipino capital, was cap
turcd and destroyed Friday, but Agui-
naldo managed to elude the Americans
and escaped in safety. After three hours
of desperate fighting the natives, realiz-
ing that further effort was hopeless, set
fire to the city and fled in disorder. A
large portion of Agninaldo's army nan
aged to break through the lines and the
men scattered in every direction, leaving
guns and swords behind. The American
loss was comparatively small, considering
the severe nature of the combat. Rapid
fire guns had been trained upon the city
and spread CONSERVATION among the ma
tive troops.

surrounded by his forces. Line after line
of intrcnchments was stormed, the de-
tenders falling back into the town. At
last the natives found that they could do
no more, SO they applied the torch to
buildings in every direction md began the
retreat.
Aguinaldo and his cabinet sought safety
in fight, escaping capture. Filipinos TAX
en- by the Americans say that the native
leader left Malolos Wednesday, and,
with his chief supporters, headed for the
north. Although by this move Aguinaldo
may claim that he saved his capital from
falling into the hands of the United States
forces, it is doubtful if he can retain his
influence over the native forces. Many
Filipino officers consider the fight an I'M

Throughout the whole advance upon

splendidly. They advanced steadily
against successive lines of trenches

those circumstances the steady advance
of our troops is n really remarkable
achievement. But the most noteworthy

1t is no new thing in this country to
find that when our wage-earners are
at work and business consequently is
good there is IL demand for foreign as

everybody is making money everybody
cal and does buy literally. When u
Wilson law closes American mills and

for Americans with pockets we'll sup.

buy cheaply. But when the pockets
are emptied and no more earnings drop
into them because our own industries
are no longer paying wages, it ceases
to be such a fine thing. We had that
