man ship Fake under pledge from her
commander to return him to Capt. Stuart
on demand Affidavits have been made by
men engaged in the Vailele fight that a
white man was with the rebels directing
them throughout the engagement. Hufna-
gle answers the description OF this man
exactly. He was seen at the station, and
gave misleading information to the troops
as they passed his house on the way out,
but when they returned, he was not to be
seen. Deserters from Mataafas forces say
that on a previous occasion Hufnagie had
narrowly escaped being shot while en-
couraging the rebels to attack
Won Bullow, Prussian cavalry officer,
has been deported to Sydney by the Ger
man commander. He was seen on April
II in command of a body of 800 men, on
the way to reinforce Mataafa. large
body of friendly natives has been armed
and put under command OF Lieut.. Gaunt
of the British navy.
He has been drilling them necessarily.
and has brought them to a fine sense of
discipline. They promise to make good
fighters.

On April II. Vailima, the home of Robert

now the rebels have kept away from Apia,
although they are within hours march
from town. There is no sign of surrender.
Defiance and death is the rebels cry.
On March 20 Admiral Kautz, in order to

Tramways in Gothenburp-

Consul Bergh Of Gothenburg. under date
of April 6, writes to the State Department:
referring to my report of September g.
1898. concerning street railways in Gothen-
burg, have to inform the department that
the city council at its last meeting decided
to purchase the franchise and stock of the
Gothenburg Tramways Company for the
sum of 10000 (s340 $50. 1t has not yet
been settled whether the city will build and
manage the road itself or lease the fran
chise to a Swedish or foreign company.
1t has been proposed to organize a home
company, but, owing to the present high
prices paid for money 1t is doubtful # this
can be realized. A German company has
offered to build and manage the electric
tramways under certain conditions, but the
council decided that these conditions were
not sufficiently defined. I shall inform the
department as soon as a definite decision
has been reached by the city council"
