I'VE made Il statement of the condi-
tons existing in Warwick county, show
ing that smallpox cases were unrestraln-
ed. and that no efforts were being made
to stop its spread; that these eases were
constantly coming into Newport News
and adjacent cities. keeping up the in
lection in those places. We explained
the necessity for stamping out the dis
ease at once and restricting its further
spread. Our establishment can better be
imagined than described when ). y.
Morse. the colored member of the board
of supervisors. who seemed to be the
spokesman. informed us that the super
visors did not consider the disease small
pox; that in their opinion vaccination,
instead of protecting against the disease,
increased its virrlencc but that under
any circumstances the board did not
propose to take any action whatsoever,
that nothing was now being done, and
nothing would he done by their board.
NO arguments could shake them from
their position: therefore, the Secretary

BERLIN, April 12--The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has had an
interview with a foreign office official. who
Is authorized to speak for the minister of
foreign affairs. Baron van Buelow. He said:
I'VE have received several official dis
patches saying that the Tanu people, for IL
fortnight past. have been raiding and pill
laying around Apia, destroying mainly Ger
man property. They are armed with weap-
ons furnished by the British.
I'VE also received to-day a dispatch from
the commander of the Fake confirming
the ambuscade and the loss of the Ameri-
cans and English substantially tallyinS
with the dispatches Of the Associated
Press. The ambuscade may have possibly
been on a German plantation, as nearly
all the property around Apia is German.
The government regrets extremely the oc-
currence, for which, however it is in no
way to blame. Such hostile encounters
must naturally be expected when the An
glo-American action in crowning Tanu has
made nine-tenths of the Samoans their en-
emies. 1t shows strongly how necessary is
the prompt departure of the commission
with adequately full instructions.

not Deen formally appointed. he is ready

less the commission starts soon, such en-
counters may re-occur any day
OF course. now that fresh blood has
been spilled, the excitement of the Amer
leans and British may increase. But Ger
many Is bameless. The same thing hap
pened to our men in 1883. The Samoans
also cut off the heads of the German vic
Tins then. That is one of the Samoans'
pleasant habits. If Admiral Kautz had
the power to re-establish peace, all might
be well. But he needs a much stronger
force than now available under his and the
British command at Apia to subdue Ma
taafa and his warlike hosts"

where his party had camped, and related
minor circumstances. However, he showed
whom he claims to have met and con-
versed with, and left as the only proof OF
his story partly verified relation of such
incidents in regard to the murder as have
been supposed to be the work of Dobbs.
He refused to undergo close questioning

was several times caught in an effort to
hedge on his statements.
The trip was made unaccompanied by
any county official and YVES under the sole
leadership of Fleeman, who dictated every

People in the New neighborhood deny any
recollection of Ballard or Allgood, though
Ballard asserts they camped in the vicinity
for more than week.

of the people here as to the guilt of Dobbs

The Samoans say Mataafa. on three oc.
casions. had resolved to surrender, but the
German consul. Herr Rose advised him
not TO do SO. and he now says he will
never give In, but will fight to the death.
On the arrival of the British cruiser
Tauranga at Ap!a. the British and Amer
lean consuls issued proclamation, to give
Mataafa last chance. and the French
priests also used their influence, but all
efforts failed and the rebels continued their
depredations. Property was destroyed and
bridges and roads were barricaded. On
March %. the enemy was sighted at Ma
guiS: and machine guns and seven pound
err were used. The friendlies also attacked
the enemy during the latter,s retreat and
several rebels were killed or wounded.
The friendlies carried one head through
Apia, which made Captain Stuart SO
furious that he went to the king and
threatened TO shoot any man found taking
heads The king then issued a proclama-
tion forhidding the practice.
The Germcn consul wrote TO Admiral
kautz asking if two great Christian ma
tions approved of this inhuman and bar
barous practice against the laws Of Chris
tianity and the decree of the supreme
court.
The admiral replied. agreeing with the
consul as to the inhumanity of the prac-
tice. and pointed out that. had the German
consul upheld the decree of the supreme
court of January. there would have been
no bloodshed: that the custom was an old
Samoan one. but first made known to the
world ten years ago, when the heads of
honest German soldiers were cut off by the
barbarous chief Mataafa, whom the repre-
sentative of the great Christian nation of
Germany is now supporting.
Expeditions in armed cutters belonging
TO the Tauranga and Porpoise are doing
considerable execution against Mataafa's
stronsholds along the coast. The British
forces are being assisted by 100 Samoans.
About forty-six of Mataafa's boats and
several villages have been destroyed In
the meantime. flying columns are being
sent daily along the roads and through the
bush near Apia.
