A REBELLION At SAMOA.
THE TREATY BEING IGNORED
The Rebe lion OF Mataafa Receiving Aid
From the German Consul There -
Fierce Contest Over the Possession of
the Court House.

Auckland, n T., Jan 20.--Further
particulars regarding the disturbances at
Samoa show Mataafa's followers number
ed about 5000 men and the adherents of
Malietoa Tanus were only about 1000.
There was two hours fighting between
the rival forces, during which several of
the warriors were decapitated.
The American consul issued a procla-
nation claiming the Berlin treaty had
the same force as law of congress, and
that an insult to the supreme court OF
Samoa is therefore equivalent to an in
suit to the government at Washington.
The British and American consuls were
compelled to force the doors Of the su-
preme court at Apia, i'll which the Ger
man consul had established himself, and
to push him into the street.
All the parties at Apia unite in con-
demning the German consul for the fight
ing which has taken place between the
rival kings. 1t is pointed out that, in
violation OF all agreements, the consul ac-
companied Mataafa's force when the
claimant invaded the town and encour-
aged the opposition to Malietoa Tanus.
When the British and American con-
suls were informed as to the situation they
adjourned the court and locked the build
ing The German consul then demanded
therkeys and they were refused him. He
then broke open the doors and removed
the locks, replacing them with others. He
afterwards brought the German municipal
president into the chamber and the latter
went upon the balcony and shouted to the
British and American marines on the
square: 81 am the supreme court; | am
chief justice"
The crowd replied with jeers and the
British consul demanded the keys of the
building, which were refused. A Scotch
man named Mackie thereupon climbed on
top of the building and hoisted the Sa-
moan flag, while the British and Ameri-
can consuls and a number of marines
forced the doors and hurried the German
consul into the street. Then the two con-
suls formally opened court and issued
warning against any further interference
with its jurisdiction, threatening to ar
rest and imprison anyone attempting to
do SO. Matters are now quiet and the
German consul remains in his consulate.
