when the whole situation was careful
ly canvassed. The upshot was a res
olution to dismiss the provisional gov
eminent, and Admiral Kautz issued
proclamation calling upon Mataafa and
his chiefs to return to their homes.
Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the
town he had made his headquarters,
and went into the interior.
Herr Rose, the German consul at
Apia, issued proclamation, supple
menting the one he had issued several
weeks before, unfolding the provision
al government. As a result of this
the Mataafans assembled in large force
and hemmed in the town.
The British cruiser Royalist brought
the Malietoa prisoners from the islands
to which they had been transferred by
the provisional government.
The Americans then fortified Mu-
linuu, where 1000 Malietoans took
refuge. The rebes-the adherents Of
Mataafa- barricaded the roads within
the municipality and seized the British
houses.
An ultimatum was then sent to
them, ordering them to evacuate, and
threatening them, in the event of re-
fusal, with a bOmbardment to COM
mence at o'clock on the afternoon of
March Is. This was ignored, and the
rebels commenced an attack in the
direction of the United States and
British consulates about half an hour
before the time fixed for the lombard
ment. The Philadelphia, Porpoise and
Royalist opened fire upon the distant
villages. There was great difficulty in
| locating the enemy, owing to dense
| forests, but several shore villages were
soon in flames.
A defective shell from the Philadel-
phia exploded near the American con-
sulate, and the marines outside mar
rowIy escaped. A fragment struck the
| leg of Private Rudge, shattering 1t so
badly as to necessitate amputation.
| Another fragment traversed the Ger
man consulate, smashing the crockery.
The Germans then went on board the
German cruiser Fake.
During the night the rebels made a
hot attack on the town, killing three
British sailors British marine was
shot in the leg by a sentry of his own
party, another was shot in the foot.
and an American sentry was killed at
his post.
The bombardment continuing, the
Inhabitants Of the town took refuge on
board the Royalist. greatly crowding
the vessel.
Many people are leaving Samoa, the
captain of the Royalist urging them tc
go, so as not to interfere with the mil.
itary operations.
The Porpoise has sheled the village:
east and west Of Apia and captured
many boats
The Americans and British are fight
