British consulates about half an hour
before the time fixed for the lombard

Royalist opened fire upon the distant
villages. There was great difficulty In

soon In flames.
A defective shell from the Philadel-

badly as TO necessitate amputation.
Another fragment traversed the Ger

The Germans then went on board the

British sailors. A British marine was
shot In the leg by a sentry of his own
party. another was shot In the foot

the navy, and Major Black and Capital;
Pomeroy. volunteer officers, who wer,
engaged in the commisSary service nj
Ponce during General Miles Porto Ricar

General Eagan's testimony was not
startling. He stated that Messrs. Ar
mour X Co. had put in a bid TO supply
beef to be preserved by process oi
their own. but that he had not consider
ell il. He also modified a former state
ment to the effect that the - hour clause
In the beef contract had crept in as a
clerical error. saying that in the mul
titude of matters which had been de-
handing his attention ut the time he had
forgotten its Insertion.
Major Black and Captain Pomeroy
gave the details concerning the condition
of the beef brought to Porto Rico on
the steamer Manitoba. Captain Pomc-
roy stated that Of 2i.000 pounds re-
ceiptcd for nj Ponce 5000 pounds hal

objections made by the men to the roast

Major Black told Of conversation

Apia. Samoa. via Auckland. N. a.,
March 30.-The troubles growing out
Of the election of a king of Samoa have
taken more serious turn and resulted
in bombardment OF native villages
along the shore by the United States
cruiser Philadelphia. Admiral Kautz,
commanding. and the British cruisers
Porpoise and Royalist. The lombard
ment has continued internationally for
eight days. Several villages have been
burned. and there have been a number
of casualties among the American and
British sailors and marines. As yet it
is impossible to estimate the number
OF natives killed or injured.
AS Mataafa and his chiefs. cons,itut-

tinued to defy the treaty after the ar
rival OF the Philadelphia, Admiral
Kautz summoned the various consuls
and the senior naval officers to con-
ference on board the Philad, lphia,
when the whole situation was ca reful-
ly canvassed. The upshot was 1 res
olution to dismiss the provisional gov
eminent. and Admiral Kautz issu ed a
proclamation calling upon Mataafi and
his chiefs to return to their home.
Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu. me

The British cruiser Royalist brought

The Americans then fortified Mu-
linuu. where 1000 Malietoans took
refuge. The rebels-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-
