TALK OF DIVIDING SAMOA.
Blaine's Plan Of Settling the Question
Again Brought Forward.

Again brought Forward.
WASHINGTON, March g25.-There is
some suggestion that Mr.. Blaine's plan
for q partition Of Samoa may again be
brought forward, although it has not
assumed official form thus far. It is
based on the idea that as tho Samoan
group consists Of three large islands.
each of the three interested nations
would take one OF the islands. The
Germans insist that they have predom-
mating influence in the large island Of
Upolu, where the capital, Apia, is sit
uated, and that in any partition Upolu
would fall to Germany. On this basis
the eastern island Of Tululis, with its
harbor Of Pago Pako, would fall to the
United States, and the large Western
island of Savaii to Great Britain. At
present the United States is preparing
to take possession of its naval harbor at
Pago Pago, and a collier il, now loading
at Norfolk with supplies for that point.
But while it is one Of the best naval
harbors on the Pacific, there IL much
doubt whether this government would
be contented with naval harbor alone
while Germany absorbed the rich COM
mercial parts of the island group. Nor
is it believed Great Britain would &C.
cept q partition which assigned to
her tho Western island, which is
barren and mountainous. While,
therefore, the partition Of Samoa
Is being put forward in . tentative way,
It appears to involve too many animos.
tiles to prove practical solution.

MANILA, March 2b.-8:25 p. m.-Two
Spanish prisoners who have escaped
from Polo to the lines of the Kansas
regiment, report that the Filipinos have
concentrated their forces at Malabop

the rebel leaders apparently intend to
stake their fortunes on a fight at Mala-

the bolomen's charms will avert the
bullets. The bolos of the Filipinos
greatly outnumber the rifles in their
hands. The rebels are further said to
have admitted that they cannot with
stand the American shells and bayonet
charges.
The escaped Spaniards corroborated
the stories told of food shortage among
the rebels and they added that their
hospitals are short Of SUPPLIES.

He II Expected to Begin the Attack in .
= Few Days.
WASHINGTON. March 25.-It is under
stood here that General Otis has so far
matured his plans of campaign that
within week or 20 days he will be able
to begin movement which is expected
to mark the destruction of Aguinaldo's
army. Although stragglers ana fugi-
tives may infest the island Of Luzon for
some time, it is believed that after Otis
has delivered his next blow, the insur-
gent army, as an organization, will
have ceased to exist. The new move
ment will be, it is understood, by a
combined land and water attack, though
it is not expected that the navy's part in
the programme will be particularly
prominent. Otis has procured IL of the
gunboats formerly owned by the Span
ish government, and these are to play
an important part in the development
Of the campaign. Many Of the troops
who have been engaged on the outer
lines up to the date Of General Lawton's
arrival at Manila, have been withdrawn
to the water front and complete re-
organization Of the army is now in
progress. The artillery is to be used to
maintain the lines established by
Wheatons flying brigade.
The next movement expected here is
to be by water. II IL believed that Otis
will place complete brigade on board
vessels. steam rapidly northward and
land them beyond the insurgent head
quarters at Malolos. II this movement
succeeds, Is 1t should il made with rap
idity, the insurgent army will find itself
completely penned in, with no oppor-
tunity for retreat.

Gated very freely upon the subject

It is understood that the German a,i-
vices confirm the arrival of Admiral
Kautz and the convoking by him Of .
meeting Of all the officials on the 18th.
But they do not, know what resulted
from the meeting. All their reports are
silent thus far on this point. but the
German view is evidently one Of arpre-
henson lest serious results may grow
ont Of the meeting, in which event, the
German view is that the
Responsibilities Should No Borne
by those bringing about the meeting.
Further than this, questions are arising
as to the extent of authority Of the Brit
ish and American consuls, acting to-
gether, to do anything without the con-
currence of Consul Rose of Germany.
The German view evidently holds that
the Berlin treaty requires the three con
suls to act unanimously and not
through . majority Another question
is as to the right of naval commander
to take any special action. The Berlin
treaty, in their view, would limit the
rights of naval commanders within
very narrow limits, leaving them sim
ply to execute what the three consuls

upon. $780, 15s<-

by Henrietta jackson against Julius
