cunning and assaults with Tanu support
ers armed with new Martini rifles by the
naval forces. and supplied with unlimited
ammunition, have so far been ineffective
against the supporters of the late provis-
ional government, who defend themselves
with great bravery and wonderful per-
sistency.
At this writing a battle is going on at
Vailima. close about the residence of the
late r. L. Stevenson, and well within the
Apia municipality. The shots can be dis
tinctly heard from the beach, and a long
string of wounded has just been brought
in and a number of the dead have al
ready been buried. These represent the
loss on the Tanu side. AS the Mataafa
men have been fighting most of the day
behind fortifiCatons, they probably have
not suffered so much.
At a. m. Lieutenant Gaunt who has
charge of force of $50 Tanu men. who
have been supplied with new Martins
and somewhat drilled, marched out on
the Tivoli road TO the line of Tanu's for
tifcations. \ little later Tamasese and
his forces departed for the front. Prob
ably 1900 men were massed about a mile
back of Apia.
At s a. m. Captain Sturdee sent word
to all the whites living in the neighbor-
hood of the line of fire that he was about
to lombard Vailele again. 1t has been
found necessary to clear out all the peo-
pie as much of the ammunition has been
found defective, and a number of painful
accidents and one death have resulted
from this cause.
The assault on the Mataafa fortifcation
commenced about 1920 a. m. and the Tanu
assailants were strongly supported by de-
tachments from both the Porpose and
the Tauranga. while the Philadelphia men
guarded the consulates. No success
marked the first assault and it is
probable the bombardment was as
usual entirely ineffective. After time a
road and commenced to play upon that
portion of the fort that was exposed to it..
Later it was thought an attempt might be
made to take the place If the Tanu men
could be braced up TO it. The assault was
at first successful. as the Mataafa men
had been driven from that point by the
machine gun. AS soon, however, as this
piece stopped work the Mataafa men rail-
lied, and with a rush drove out their
enemies, killing and wounding number
