The Samoan Middle.

The trouble in Samoa has proved
to be far mor protracted and serious
than any one in Europe or America
had anticipated when the dissatisfac-
ton over the decision of Chief JUS
tice Chambers was first announced
three months ago. When Chief
Justice Chambers gave his decision
in favor Of young Malietoa Tanus
and against Mataafa, the United
States was not represented at Samoa
by a warship. AS our readers will
remember the English we're in accord
with the Americans in supporting
the claims Of young Malietoa, while
the Germans were backing Mataafa.
Only ten years ago the situation had
been reversed. Mataafa was waging
his war tor supremacy under the
direction Of an American, while the
Germans were in sympathy with the
other side. A number Of German
subjects were msssacred and mutilat-
cd by Mataafa. Subsequently Eng
land, Germany, and the United States
came together and adopted the gem
eral act of Berlin. Mataafa was
banished. and it was distinctly under
stood that he was to be ~henceforth
excluded from all consideration in the
selection of Samoan rulers. The
Germans. however. for reasons that
have to do vita their strong desire to
obtain a dominating influence in
Samoa, brought Mataafa back and
made him a candidate for the king

A Virginia volunteer in an Oregon
regiment, now serving in the Philip
pines, has written an interesting
letter to the Stanton Daily News.
1t is from these men who are being
sacrificed to the sordid desire of gain
or Expansion" on the part OF their
country that a true idea of the con-
ditions existing in the Philippines
can be obtained. The letter written
by this virginian shows full well the
feeling entertained by the soldiers,
who are the instruments, for the dis
tasteful unnatural work they are en-
gagged in. a more horrible state OF
affairs could hardly be imagined. a
part Of the letter is as follows:
81 am really sorry to be connected
with the Filipino war in any shape
or form. The only satisfaction | get
out of it is the novelty Of experience
and the facination Of shooting at a
native when he shoots al me as
though | we're defending myself from
some kind of an animal made fero-
cious through blind prejudice. 1t
would seem that the United States is
already being subject to adverse crit
icism by the rest of the civilized
world. 1t can only be hoped that
when the Tagalo tribe, which repre-
Sents about 100000 people, is sub
dued, none other will attempt to OPP
pose. But to bring the Tagalos into
a condition that they regard as in
consistent with their ideas OF free
dom will cost the United States mil
lions of money and time ."-Rodnoke
